Large, busy but relaxing site
16. August 2023 um 07:19:47
We stayed on a camping pitch for a week with 2 older teenagers.
The site is quite large, but doesn't feel huge which is nice. It in just a short stroll to the lovely, sandy beach which is well lifeguarded in peek times. The waves were quite large when we were there but we felt safe in the designated... area which had 5 lifegurards watching us closely.
There is a bar and entertainment area, a well stocked and well priced shop, kids clubs (we didn't use these) plus free ping-pong and mini golf.
Our pitch was blue 32, and although not a bad size in total, it was an odd shape and had a tree in the middle. We ended up with the caravan at an angle with the awning away from the road. Not my favourite way to pitch but there was no other way of fitting on. In addition there was a water tap on our pitch, but this was communal and so it meant that people would be filling their containers (or washing their swimwear!) on our pitch at any time. Sometimes when we were eating our meals which was interesting. The pitch was also quite shaded and we struggled to get any sun at certain times of the day. The pitches in the red quater seemed to have much more sun.
There are plenty of toilet blocks and we never had to queue for a toilet or shower. Most of the toilets don't have toilet seats (quite common in France) but the ones in the red quarter do. They were cleaned regularly and well stocked generally. There was a slight smell around some of the areas on the campsite to do with the drains I belive. They seemed to be trying to clear them while we were there. Didn't bother us but I know others had mentioned it before.
The reception were very friendly and helpful. They spoke English really well and were patient with my slow french. We arrived on a Saturday which was a mistake as all the cabins were arriving at the same time. There was a lengthy queue but nowhere to park the car while waiting. We ended up blocking the road a little until some more cars moved and we could move further to the side of the road. There were lots of staff checking people in and there were quick and efficient.
We initially had a problem with our electrics, but after a call to the designated line, someone came out and fixed it very quickly. I've never had an issue sorted quite so fast.
The pool was smaller than I had anticipated but there were plenty of sunbeds and rubber rings for the slides. The slides were fab and not hampered by lifeguards making you wait ridiculously long between people. This meant that there were no queues here either.
All in all a good week. Plenty for children to do on site with organised games etc (which allows you to win tokens for the weekly raffle!) or just chill by the pool or the beach.
