We only stayed for one night as we were travelling south. Lovely Campsite, very peaceful, helpful friendly staff, large pitch and showers very good.
The approach roads are country lanes, and you need to be mindful when approaching blind bends!!!  But well worth a visit.  

Peaceful location

I stayed at this campsite with family, one in a camper van and one set of 2 tents making 8 of us in total.

It appears to be a family run site, extremely friendly and accommodating. The lady on reception helped with my extremely poor French. Alas the pool wasn’t open as we arrived late and we moved on before it opened which unfortunately is the afternoon only.

I really liked this campsite, it was in a small town in the Le Mans area. Lovely country roads and open fields, the campsite itself is small and well maintained, showers warm and clean. After staying at other campsites I quickly learned a toilet seat is a luxury item. This campsite was blessed with toilet seats.

I decided to eat at the on-site restaurant, I believe the reception lady’s husband was the chef, offering simple yet satisfying food. Pizza, chips etc. Which was absolutely fine, my only issue was the salmon was cooked within an inch of its life, closely resembling ash (literally) 

I didn’t complain, I tried my best it didn’t ruin my experience at all, I just put it down to a slight over sight on cooking time and the chef was so welcoming and accommodating. Everyone else’s meal where nice, can’t say I have seen pizza with sliced potato as a topping but for all I know that’s a local specialty.

The campsite had a play area for children, bouncy castle, later a little disco by the pool with some interesting choices. It wasn’t great for mobile data so the children had a great time dancing to the music, it wasn’t full so they really let their hair down and enjoyed themselves.

Our tent was pitched up in a hedges square with a small opening onto the wheat fields. To me the whole lay out of the site was well considered to lower any potential noise neighbours might make and to give some privacy.

Honestly it was beautiful, quiet, dark. Perfect for a good night sleep.

I stayed at another campsite in Bidart the night before, I think I prefer the smaller quiet ones for some true piece and quiet.

I noticed a pond, I believe you could fish. I didn’t enquire as I didn’t have the time but I believe that would be really relaxing.

The only reason this review doesn’t get 5* was the fish was the only disappointment but other then that exceptional. I am a first time camper and have done a couple this summer this was one of the better ones.

Little Gem

We stayed here for a couple of nights as a stop over.  Kids liked the pool, and the slide.  Friendly welcome, and owner spoke very good English.  We stayed in a cabin which had a slightly scary mezzanine level for the 3rd bedroom.  Good shower.   It was very clean, but we were dissapointed to discover a dirty bbq, which had leaves and ivy growing in it.  Which left us with only a gas hob to cook on (no oven), and microwave.  There was a snack bar/takeaway but we didn't use it, as we ended  up having a lovely day in Le Mans, which wasn't too far away (about 25 mins drive).

We wouldn't return, there was a few off putting things, such as dog poo by the pool, a boules competition which seemed to give the people taking part a right to block the paths, car parking spot, and sit on our accomadation porch.  We only swam a couple of times, but as soon as we did, one of the owners was there as if they were checking up on us and the kids.  The site is a bit run down too, doesn't look as good as it is in the pictures.
