This site is fab.

A man who watched my boys playing on the first day we arrived in the very safe, sandy play area said "Kids come to this site, dig a hole - then live in it for the holiday". How right he was, my first experience of camping, toilet and shower blocks cleaned about four times a day. Pool busy but with great people. Films every night just outside the bar/shop. Magic and clown activity for those who wanted it. Kids club run by Euro camp was - well - poor. But the kids all teamed up and found their pals on a very safe caring site.

Bread man very expensive, but handy.

Super U - supermarket great but as someone said earlier - it gets mad so go early or late.

Loved it loved it loved it - going back next year (this time in a mobile though cos I sleep walk!)

Owner is a cracking bloke who tries very hard to keep it so good. Noise comments seem a bit harsh also - folk are on holiday and if your kids don't fall asleep the minute their sandy, slightly crispy heads hit the pillow - you aint playing hard enough!

Enjoy

Very quiet Campsite. Stayed for 8 nights with KeyCamp Mobile Home. The campsite is definitely the best one in Tranche Sur Mer. Very close to the beach and the town center.

Lots of lovely restaurants in Tranche Sur Mer. And the Supermarket is very close.

However, we went in June and it was extremely quiet. Apart from the movies shown at night for the kids there was nothing to do in this campsite (no clown or magican as others have stated). The internet was not working. The bar is tiny. No slides or anything at the pool area. Overall, I would say if you want a very very quiet holiday then go here.

First time we been camping since the children have grown up, arrived with our own tent also for the first time. Pitch was absolutely great, big, nicely shaded and secluded by large hedges water on the pitch.

As older campers we did not find the site particularly quiet but that is not a critisism this is a fun site for younger children they were all having a ball. The pool is fine the rules regarding the pool and jacuzzi are not enforced but its not a problem.

We would have liked to have seen a little more in the way of food in the snack bar at night but again with the town so close it was not a problem.

The owners are lovely people and go out of there way to help.

All in all a great relaxing holiday would definitely return to site and give it a 10 out of 10

Hello all,

This was our second visit, this time in a Keycamp mobile home thing. The conifers surrounding the camp and helping to disguise the concrete walling had all been topped so looked a little less attractive, but allowed much more light into the areas. The site was busy but very clean indeed, as it was last year. The staff in the shop/bar were the same as last year as were the prices so cannot speak highly enough. The pool was cleaned thoroughly every night and my boys enjoyed the nightly films (until my 5 year old "TWOC'd" a dutch lad's bike). Camembert the clown was great.

A lady who we made friends with was on their 5th return visit and has threatened to set up a Facebook page for "Bel" so keep your eyes peeled.

We are going back next year, same time, as a holiday where your kids can be safe, play hard and sleep when their sandy (slightly crispy) heads hit the pillow, is a holiday for we parents.

The beaches are great, and La Terrier has a great cafe on the beach which does fab salads.

Enjoy.

This was our first time at Camping Bel and we thought it was absolutely fantastic. The pool area was immaculate, the pitches well proportioned and the site was very well run. We stayed in a Keycamp Villanova that was adequate for our needs. Our 8 year old boy and 6 year old girl loved every minute of it, the site is so family orientated that it helps make your holiday. The site is also close to the town and beach that you have lots of options for entertainment, but we had to make it back every night for the children's film which entertained them and allowed the grown ups to chill out at the bar with a drink and gave you a chance to get to know the other grown ups.

A fantastic holiday and would recommend this site to any family.
