2nd visit to Papillon
Our 2nd visit to this site, overall it's still a very nice place, there have been changes since our last visit, some of which we were not altogether happy with. But they were our dislikes! The restaurant has had an upgrade, it is now very 'light and bright, the menu has also altered, it is now primarily pasta and pizza based with just a couple of local meals put on, in what looks like an afterthought. This is probably because the site has been taken over by an Italian company. However a quick drive out of the site will give anyone the chance to eat Dutch or German depending on which way you turn at the main road. I also found that the three times I tried to use the disabled facilities they were locked so I gave up and used the family showers, just for a bit more space. We met some lovely fellow campers while here namely Jaap and Alie from Holland, Bob and Lin from the midlands and Frauke, Marcel and Milan from Bremen. I doubt if they will ever see this review but thanks all for making our holiday special!
There are new small buildings going up on the site which are a shower/toilet and panbash facility on the certain pitches, on inquiring I was told, these pitches are being classed as comfort+, I didn't find out any prices as we were not interested this trip but we both decided to look into it for our next visit.
So I hope you can gather we are planning a return to the Papillon, that's how much we enjoy it!
Well worth a visit, there are still two fishing lakes but now to use the one of them you have to have a pitch on the lakeside. Each pitch area still has a small kids play area as well as the main play areas close to reception and restaurant. Both of the swimming areas (lake and pool), were being well used while we were there, probably because of the good weather.
Safe travels and we hope you all enjoy yourselves.
