Good for families

Adequate but needs improvement

Stayed here for four nights in late June while taking part in a concert in Pont-Audemer. Site location is very pleasant, just across the road (very little traffic) from the river and close to lakes (accessible by footpath directly from the site and a lovely walk) and a short drive from the attractive town of Pont-Audemer which has excellent eateries and good shops. Well laid out site with two facility blocks (not used by us and one being noisily extended during our stay) and some pitches in the centre sections, with the majority of pitches - some of which were very large and occupied by just one small tent - around the perimeter. Recreation field/children’s play area situated slightly away from the main camping area but swimming pool is close to several pitches, including ours. Also some noise from the sailing club next to the site on a couple of evenings. The site entrance is an issue: the barrier system only allows one vehicle through at a time, either in or out. There is a visitor/overnight parking area to one side but it is not large enough to allow newly-arrived outfits to park up out of the way in order to book in. Although we were the only outfit arriving at the time (late afternoon midweek) and had parked as far over as we could, we had to wait around 15 minutes for reception to finish dealing with other guests before we could be booked in, by which time there were several vehicles queuing up to get in or out. Our well-shaded pitch near the entrance was long but only just wide enough for our 2-berth with porch awning. We had booked a 'super' pitch, although I use the word advisedly as it wasn’t up to much. The concrete service point (both electric and water connections) was placed centrally at the back of the pitch rather than to one side. The plastic connector on the water tap was broken so it leaked like a sieve and we had to buy a garden hose fitting in order to use it. In addition we had difficulty reaching the raised grey water drain at the base of the block, despite having plenty of pipes and connectors, requiring the ‘van to be pitched to within a few feet of the service point, thus leaving little space to walk around the back. As the electric connection point also served the pitches either side, they had to walk through the separating hedges onto our pitch to connect up while stepping over our waste water pipes, fresh water hose and awning guy ropes – far from ideal. As the adjacent pitches seemed to be used for one- or two-nighters, this happened several times during our stay. Overall, adequate for one or two nights and reasonably priced but don’t expect too much.
