Camping Au Soleil d'Oc ^★★★★

De stacaravan was prima, de plek daarvan (in de schaduw) ook - twee zwembaden (binnen en buiten), sportvelden, rivier, allemaal goed. De familie die de camping beheert: aardige mensen. Wifi: niet ideaal, de gekregen code gold voor maar twee apparaten, die konden vervolgens niet tegelijk online zijn.... Onhandig bij een gezin met tieners. Televisie aanwezig, maar daar hebben we geen gebruik van gemaakt, omdat er alleen Franse zenders op ontvangen werden.
Daarnaast: al op dag 1 gaven we aan dat de inventaris incompleet was. Nou is 1 in plaats van 6 koffiekopjes te overzien, maar een koekenpan minder is echt lastig. We hebben meerdere keren gevraagd wanneer de kopjes en de pan nou zouden komen. Iedere keer werd keurig genoteerd dat we dingen misten, maar de pan kwam pas op de laatste dag van ons verblijf, de kopjes hebben we helemaal niet gekregen. Dat zijn nou net die puntjes op de i die ontbreken waardoor ze ons waarschijnlijk hier niet meer terug zullen zien ....

If our pitch had been any nearer the river we would have been in it. A bit of a trek to the shower block. The site wasnt fully open during our visit so cant judge the pool or snack bar. The Bistro just over the bridge was excellent and Argentat with its bars restaurants and supermakets was only a 15... min bike ride away

The main problem with this site is that the roads within the camp site are very narrow, often have sharp bends and woody hedges right on the edge of the road.As a result it is very easy to damage your van or motor home, as the roads within the camp site are simply not fit for purpose.
There is a fairly... new sanitary block with good amenities, but these had not been maintained or cleaned properly and certainly appeared neglected. We bought an internet connection, which was provided by another supplier, but the reception was intermittent and did not represent good value for money.
In future I will simply avoid this site!

PLEASE DO NOT STAY HERE!! I am a 17 year old Brit who went here for the summer 2015 to work with children as an entertainer and play sports with them. I was supposed to be working 35 hours a week, Monday through Friday, and getting payed for it. However, I ended up doing a lot of manual things (along... with the other workers) 12 hours a day, seven days a week with a half hour break per day. I was working between 60 and 70 hours a week and not getting paid for it. I was digging holes, shoveling sand etc in 40+ celcius heat (one day it was 50!) with very little water and food. The campsite was not ready at all and the owner was just exploiting youths. PLEASE DO NOT STAY HERE! Please take it from someone who worked here, the place is like a slave trade. I had to leave early and have yet to be paid. Some people have had to leave due to stress too. My cabin had mold in it and the sheets were dirty. There was no A/C and inside my cabin was 30+ celcius. There were a lot of spiders and bugs in my cabin when I arrived and the gas cooker didn't work. I asked for it to be fixed, however it was never followed up. The place is awful. It's part of the slave trade. I cannot express clearly enough. PLEASE DO NOT STAY HERE!

This is my 4th visit to this site spanning 3 generations. My father took me here when he stumbled upon it with his caravan and we all fell in love with it. Family run and right by the river it was a piece of French paradise.
I been back several time over the years and witnessed it's slow, sad decline.... bring my daughter here for the first time should have been special and it was to start with. The same old faided signs still pointed the way from the delightful village of Argentat and as we pulled it it was like coming to visit an old friend.
We checked in no probs and found a spot right in the river's edge to pitch our rather large tent, plenty of spaces free (this should have set off early alarm bells maybe) strange as it was usually packed in summer.
The fridge we hired was promptly delivered and left with us. On closer inspection it was a bit old and battered and required a bungie cord to keep the door closed (fitted by me in a bolt of inspiration) and I needed to glue all the shelving in the door.
Then I started to notice a few bits and bobs that started to grate a bit.
Bread can be ordered but it was stale. Yesterdays bread! This happened every day we ordered it, I tolerated it but only because I'm too lazy to drive in to the village.
The toilet block is pretty clean, not immaculate and the original block has been recycled into it and tarted up with a new extrerior but with the same old fittings in general. Another sign of a lack of investment.
A new indoor pool has been built though and I must say it's great, too a point.
Mid July and all the jacuzzi and the river features were turned off. The water in the jucuzzi was also stale, not circulaing and went green in the duration of our stay. Kids were splashing around in it because it was shallow. Not very nice.

The pool was also the place where we got shouted and sweared at for being in the pool too early. we didn't see the tiny sign and foolishly thought we saw people in early the day before so just jumped in. It wasn't locked.
Angry old guy had come to clean it and wasn't impressed but we are the customer right? And it was a genuine mistake.

Overall we won't be back, not unless there are some major changes. It's a shame because the location is superb. I can't fault the surroundings!
