We forgot our electric adapter. François found us one that afternoon. We managed to buy on a day or so later and he did not charge us for the loan. Another example of the sort of service we have always enjoyed.
The whole Team is very friendly and offers a warm Welcome. The campside under the trees ist perfect in hot summer days. Very good base for outdoor Holidays (Kayak, Canyon, Biking, Hiking, Via Ferrata).
Spent two weeks in a 2 bedroom mobile home which was clean, comfortable and very well equipped.
Outside seating area could be improved, but not a big issue. The restaurant on site is worth a visit.
Very good food, well presented and reasonably priced.
We needed a campsite on an extremely wet evening and basically went into the first one we found, which was St James. Very friendly staff and very reasonable price (E14 for campervan and 2 of us) Amazingly even though it was mid week and low season (early June) their little restaurant was open so after... parking/pitching we decided to try it. It is obviously geared towards being quite an open air place, but they also have a good marquee and canopies which we needed because of the rain; they also had space heaters on which was great! Simple menu with small number of choices...but have to say it was one of the best meals of our 3 weeks in France! perfectly cooked lamb chop and lovely home made chips, and a beautifully pan seared bit of salmon with tagliatelle. Then delicious strawberries with a tiny bit of good olive oil and fresh basil, and sort of poached apple and pear with cinnamon and creme anglaise. Whoda though at a little wooded campsite, on a wet, quiet mid week evening!
The site itself is quite extensive and all in woods, so lots of shade when needed. River runs along the back, but lower down. Quite noisy and fast the night we were there due to heavy rain, but not any sort of problem. Good facilities with plenty of loos in 2 locations, good showers and some individual basins/washrooms with plug sockets. there was also a washing machine, games/TV room..and more washing up sinks (again in 2 locations) than you could ever need! Even had draining racks. I think the only thing that maybe slightly lets the site down is that on the initial approach and entry the first things you see are one or two quite shabby caravans, which are maybe there longterm, and they do make it look a bit run down; however very glad that we did not decide to try elsewhere on the basis of that!
We chose this campsite because it is recommended in a French motorcycling magazine and stayed in one of the chalets which are on their own site away from the main campsite.
The chalet was comfortable enough although very tired and in need of a little tlc. There were four of us staying in a two bedroomed... chalet for six and it would have been very cozy if full!
The location was perfect with easy access to some fabulous biking roads and plenty to see on our rest days. Two small supermarkets (one with fuel) were an easy walk as is the pretty town of Guillestre itself where there are plenty of shops and restaurants.
The family running the campsite are friendly and helpful, and bread and croissants can be ordered from them for the morning. There is a bar on site, although it was closed while we were there in the second week in September.
We would probably stay again although as bikers, would hope that the front-wheel swallowing potholes on the site road will have been filled in!
