I thought the campsite was good, but I fin dit annoying that the owners come and sell you their products or their lottery cards. The regulars often have parties, and when you have gone there to relax and have a bit of peace, that's not good. A shame that the owners do not take a tour of the site in the evenings, to keep the noise down.

We were very disappointed with our holidays at this campsite. The owner is not a likable lunatic. Their evening entertainment is always the same, and the bar prices are rather expensive, for meals too. What's more, they're really irritating, they push the sale of chickens etc, their lotto cards, they come to sell them right on your pitch!

Furthermore, the regulars are noisy up to 1am, and don't think of other holidaymakers who might want to relax or sleep, especially when they have young children.

I'm not about to return here.

I have been enjoying holidays at le Bois Joli for almost ten years and I still don’t tire of it. We have seen changes in the ownership of the site which always makes people anxious, but I believe Martine and Eric are continuing to provide a family run campsite, for families of all ages. It is inland and a car is essential to visit local attractions so be prepared to drive. The bonus is at the end of the day you leave all busy tourists behind and head back in land. A new toilet block was opened last year which replaced the functional but old block described in other reports.

I have always found the site to be extremely friendly. We have spent many a happy evenings with other campers, Both French and English. Martine Eric and their staff have always greeted us with a smile and nothing is too much trouble.

The bar is there if you want it, I enjoy a drink as the sun sets over the pool while the children have the final dip of the day. The entertainment is limited, but if its evening entertain you are after I may I suggest a cruise not a camping holiday! Since when do campers expect the site to provide entertainment, this isn’t Butlins.

Finally in response to the damming personal attack by author le 130, I for one am glad I wont have the misfortune to meet you in le Bois Joli!

Hello,

I spent a month at le Bois Joly in 2009, and the earlier reviews here seem a real long way from reality.

The welcome, the atmosphere, the service and the staff are really very good. So good that this year I’ve booked for the year.

I think that some people should judge themselves before criticising others.

And if they don’t come back, it will be so much the better, as more friendly people will replace them.

Pierre and Laetitia

Pretty setting; this campsite could be pleasant with owners a little more friendly and less money-conscious.

Female owner very officious, not at all welcoming, and very temperamental. In 12 days, she was never seen about the site!

The man, you’ll never see him expect when he comes to sell you merchandise or services, at very high prices (lottos, moules-frites evenings, chickens etc).

Reception is often closed, so you have to go find them in the bar.

Shame, but we won’t be returning to this site.
