Only stayed for one night, but that was enough to assess what the campsite had to offer.

Arrived at 6.30 and were ordered to move our car to outside the reception window so they could see inside. Then reception spent 20 minutes trying to establish what a 3 year old child should be charged, in the end settling on just over 4 Euros. By then, the staff were concerned that they should close down and get away by 7pm. Shown to 'choice' of 3 pitches, but staff only had time to show us one. OK, it was only one night, but this gives the impression of a site run for the benefit of the staff, not its customers.

The free indoor pool period was from 6 till 8, so we got 15 minutes in it. Very small pool, although OK. You have to go through the cafe in trunks to get to it. The outdoor pool was small, unheated and uninviting. The lake appeared to be covered in green slime.

Sorry, would like to be more positive, but I can't recommend this site. The set up caters mainly for people in fixed mobiles/huts/chalets, rather than tents or touring caravans. It's quite a way off the main route, so if you're heading south, it's not worth the detour.

Have just got back from a wonderful 6 nights at this campsite. We booked through the caravanning club (we have our own caravan) and requested an extra large pitch which was delightful. The shower block is a bit confusing as both men and women seem to go anywhere but the showers are fantastic - really hot and not at all crowded (although we were there at the end of May which is not high season). Seven Euros bought our family of five the right to a day's activities which included tennis (they lend you racquets and balls), football, canoeing on the small lake, crazy golf, petanque, plus use of the indoor pool. This indoor pool is free after 6pm. The outdoor pool was delightful - my only criticism was that it didn't open till 12 and there were no sun loungers - only bar type chairs and hard concrete. The restaurant and bar were closed for three of the nights we were there. We didn't go to the restaurant as we couldn't afford it! I think it's a great site with friendly staff, lovely facilities and a good mix of nationalities. However, I think 5 or 6 days was enough as getting around the area from the campsite was not particularly easy.

We’ve been here for three years. It’s great for the children, with various clubs, free activities, and equipment on loan. The indoor pools are well heated, with a Jacuzzi. The grounds are very well maintained, with flowers everywhere. No time to get bored, even for adults, with a show or other free activity every evening. Even in July, we did not feel that the site was overfull, given its size and the number of activities available. If any problem arose, the management intervened immediately, and took the necessary steps. We’ll be returning this year.

The campsite is indeed very large, and everything is extra (mini-golf, wi-fi,…)

The restaurant, which is inside the site, has a very helpful staff. The take-away is quite affordable, but take care when you order, or you'll have a wait.

Reception: The manager is very serious, so don't expect service with a smile!

The rules are respected, and there's hardly any noise at night.

No separation between the tent and caravan pitches. The size of the pitches is not adjusted to the size of unit, so you could find yourself with a large caravan on a pitch more suited to a small tent.

We used this site as a stop over for a few days on our way further south. Lots of other people seemed to be doing the same.

We booked with Carefree so the Camping and Caravanning Club sorted all that out beforehand.

The welcome was friendly if a bit long due to new staff being 'shown the ropes'.

Many of the pitches were in a wooded area and so very shady. Fortunately ours wasn't, so when the sun did shine, we had a fair bit to warm us up. The weather was mixed and not overly hot.

The pitch was on a busy footpath/road leading straight to one of the washblocks which did make it a bit noisey at night and a mole keep us amused by popping up in different places each night.

The outside pool was clean but very cold. The inside pool also clean but much warmer. Wash blocks were ok, but not amazing.

Tabletennis was free and my children all enjoyed using them. The lake although quite small contained hundreds of little fish which basked in the shallow water near the 'beach'. There were lots of bats of various sizes which flew around our heads when we went for walks at dusk around the site.

On our last day, a group of children arrived with leaders and camped opposite us. This increased the noise levels significantly and made for a less peaceful day time. Noise with teenagers/young adults was an occasional problem (but by no means what we experienced from adults, who should have known better at a completely different site later in the holiday).

A short car ride from the site is Gien, a pretty town which was very badly bombed in WW2.

Cycling in the area is ok if you don't mind going on roads.

I was happy with the site and would probably use it again for a stop over, but wouldn't recommend it for a stay longer than 3 or 4 days.
