Your feedback matters to us!

Very friendly and warm owners. They prepared regional specialties for us, including aligot and truffade. The accommodation is perfect for large gatherings, especially for our Renault 16 cars. Many thanks for their welcome.

Fantastic weekend! Clément and Alex welcomed us for a full weekend student integration. No issues with the bungalows, and Alex really knows his way around a spatula! The heavy rain on Saturday night didn’t stop the celebrations, thanks to Clément’s excellent management. We highly recommend this place!

Excellent family campsite, very clean bungalows, friendly and attentive owners, quick to resolve an ant problem within the day. Trampolines and children’s play areas are great, the setting is peaceful and beautiful, and the campsite is very well maintained. Convenient options to have meals delivered to your bungalow, as well as morning bread and croissants! Just 30 minutes from Peaugres Safari and other nearby activities, perfect for our family stay. Highly recommended!

Fantastic night in the “Bulle Bonheur,” very spacious and well equipped (kitchen, bathroom, toilet)! The view is stunning with the jacuzzi and lovely terrace, topped off by a perfect sunset! Upon arrival, we were taken straight to the bubble by a very friendly lady with a smile. There’s a small bar-restaurant and a pool, which we didn’t try as we stayed only one night. Thanks also for the breakfast and the bottle.

Very beautiful campsite with very spacious areas. Pitches are large, shaded or open. Very friendly welcome. Lovely swimming pool. Pleasant riverside running along the entire campsite.
