Tip from our team
After several visits and plenty of guest reviews, here are some pro tips: ask for a pitch in the “B-zone” for extra shade and tranquillity. The pool is a highlight (around 98 m²) but check opening dates in early or late season – it usually runs from mid-May to mid-September. If you book a glamping tent, pack slippers or sandals for dewy mornings on your terrace. Many families appreciate the baby washroom and accessible facilities, especially those travelling with toddlers. The area is calm, so a car is handy for exploring. And one golden rule: book early! With around 30 pitches and a handful of rentals, this eco-friendly gem fills up fast in July and August.

nicodX8398RM - A beautiful discovery in the heart of nature
“A campsite in the heart of nature. A couple of caring and available managers. If you go there by bike, you will be welcomed. Bicycle tours are offered. And for families with children it is an ideal place. Beautiful discovery and affordable rates.”

No knowledge of the beers“Great campsite and well maintained location. However, a small minus, the owners have no knowledge of the beer choice. They tap an IPA and even worse the Belgian Jupiler, while there are beautiful French beers.”
