  We came here with our nugget camper bus in the off season (17 June) and only wanted to stay a night or two to see La Rochelle. We were given a spacious pitch near the entrance and near the very large pool which wasn’t a problem as it closes at 8pm - not much of a view as the pool area is surrounded by a large wall but we weren’t planning on being in the site much so we’re perfectly happy. I disagree with some of the reviews that the washrooms need some love. For French campsites standards they were very reasonable with shelves and places to hang clothes while showering. There was also loo roll which is v unusual in the area. When we returned to the campsite some people were playing very loud jungle music although it was around 10pm. There was a downpour which meant the sounds were more muffled or the rain drowned the sound out? Anyhow there were a lot of youths - dunno how else to describe them as school holidays are not on - wandering about the site at all hours shouting and between 3 and 4am they broke into the pool area and used the slides and pools while shrieking and laughing for about an hour. It was utterly maddening and inconsiderate. We got literally no sleep despite being off season. Am astounded by how inconsiderate these kids were, gutted that they didn’t have a terrible accident on the slides at night, and feel there should be someone on-site to make sure this kind of behavior isn’t accepted. The campsite would have been fine for a night and the choices near to La Rochelle are somewhat limited but after this we moved to the one in l’Homeau (much more pleasant) as we couldn’t bear this anymore.

  In need of some love We had a two night stay here and although we loved La Rochelle, we were not big fans of this campsite. The pool area is nice and the kids enjoyed it and because it was June it was quiet (although the train goes past regularly) but the mobile home itself was shabby and clearly has had nothing done to it since the park opened... looks like around 20-30years: The curtains had holes, the decor was from the 1980s, the duvets were awful (although the sheets were clean). The beds had spring mattresses and were very uncomfortable. I was disappointed that although it stated linens provided there were no bath towels or tea towels. It was ok, it was functional but for the same price we have booked some beautiful new Airbnb homes so the price quality ratio is wrong here. We basically just paid for the use of the pool. On our departure, although I had cleaned the mobile home well, I was instructed as part of the cleaner's regular requests to dismantle the shower drain and clear away the three hairs we'd left which I found to be over the top. In the meantime, on our arrival, despite calling ahead to say we'd arrive after hours and to be told there'd be a key, we arrived to a locked mobile home and had to find to after hours guy and track down a key. I did not get an apology for this the next day when I went to see reception as requested. All in all it was ok but really not somewhere I'd choose to stay again and cannot recommend.

  Unfortunately one of the worst campsites I have ever stayed at, so much so that although my partner and I have booked for 2 nights we have left early and booked a hotel nearby. Extremely rude entertainment guy who in front of upwards of 50 people asked me a question. When I replied saying sorry I don’t speak French his response ok the mic was “do you know where you are, you are in France and you don’t speak French!? Learn French”. No one was laughing and made the atmosphere very uncomfortable. He carried out until after midnight, we barely had any sleep whatsoever. Will not return.
