The campsite is very well located in terms of travelling through France. Troyes is about 3 1/2 hours from Calais and is a lovely city location. The campsite is an easy cycle ride to the city centre, or bus (which stops almost outside the site).
Pitches are quite large and consequently you need to have a relatively long electrical lead. Toilet facilities are plentiful and there is plenty of hot water at all times for showers and dish washing.
Staff are welcoming and the site is open early in the morning and late in the evening.
Prices are very reasonable.
The only drawback in 2009 is the fact that the middle of the site has been turned into a building site as they build a swimming pool. The building work is happening at a snail's pace and there a total mess of concrete and sand outside the site pizza cafe.
Even at a snail's pace, I assume that this will be completed by 2010 and we would certainly return to Troyes. Lovely city, good location, good site.

This was our third French site this holiday and we spent 7 nights here, booked in advance over the internet. Many people used it as a one night stopover, others, like us, spent longer here. On arrival we were invited to choose our own pitch - they are mostly a good size, arranged in 'clusters', some shaded, others not so, - and for the best choice it is an advantage to arrive before 4-5pm as after this it gets very busy with overnighters (we were here in the height of the season however!).
The site is in Pont Sainte-Marie, on the outskirts of Troyes and is well signposted from the various motorway exits and main roads leading to Troyes. However, once on the site you are surrounded by grass and trees with birds, butterflies etc. And would have no idea that you are in such an urban setting. Any road noise was minimal, even on the evening of the first 'friendly' of the season at the football stadium opposite.
Access to the site was off the main road through a barrier next to reception, which was the cause of tail-backs out on to the road at busy check-in times - a minor annoyance if you were caught up in it! The barrier was locked between 10pm and 7am and at other times worked automatically when leaving and with a card when entering. This was given us on arrival with our CCI card being kept as a deposit. The reception staff were pleasant and friendly, speaking Dutch, English and French (possibly other languages too) and at reception you could buy milk (UHT), butter, water, wine/cider etc and order and collect bread.
The toilet and shower facilities were excellent, clean and well-maintained, with hot water at all times and though busy at peak times they coped well with the demand. The washing and washing-up sinks were plentiful and under cover and the washing machines and tumble dryer cost a mere 2 euros per load. In this central area was also the restaurant (we did not try it but it seemed well patronised), a room with a snooker table, a sitting area, books, games etc. To borrow and a young children's area, an under cover table-tennis table and a table hockey game, and maps and information about the campsite and the area were displayed here. There is also a good sized children's play area
To walk into Troyes from the site took about 25 mins, or the bus stop is just outside the site with a regular service into the town. Troyes itself was full of medieval buildings in various stages of renovation, with a variety of tourist sites and also a very good shopping area. The lady at the tourist office was, as they usually are, very helpful. One designer shopping outlet with over 100 shops is 5-10 mins drive / bus ride from the site and another is off the ring road.
Although the roads are fairly busy, cycling into Troyes is also an option with a cycle stand in the main square, near the town hall. There is also a cycleway (vélovoie) which runs from Troyes to the Lacs d'Orient (lakes with manmade beaches, picnic areas etc.) and covers up to 45 kms each way, but the start of this in Troyes is difficult to find and some way from the campsite. An alternative (as we did, and had a very enjoyable, but not too strenuous day out!) is to drive to one of the parking areas nearer the lakes and pick up the trail from there. A brochure is available from the campsite reception.
The one 'fly in the ointment' (pun intended!)with this site was the fact that we were bitten over several nights by mosquitos, though nobody else seemed to be affected by them! Just unlucky I guess!
Otherwise our stay was very enjoyable and at just over 18 euros per night very good value. We would happily return here when in the area again.

Used this site as a two night stopover on the way back from the south coast. It is a large municipal site although split into smaller shaded paddocks so still feels quite intimate. Large central service area with toilets, washbasins and showers all in cubicles. Never had to queue even though the site was quite busy.
There is a small shop which sells bread and milk etc although not a lot else.There is a supermarket just outside the gate. A pizzeria across the road and a couple of basic bars just up the road.
This site is on a busy road and you can catch the bus to the huge McArthur Glen Outlet Village about 5 mins away by car. A good place to stroll although it felt like being transported immediately back to England which broke the holiday spell a bit.
20 minutes walk the other way takes you into the old medieval town which is very pretty and well worth a mooch.
This is a good if busy stopover site (even in late September) and an interesting (if large)town/ small city so not for those who want get away from it all spots.
The only minor gripe I had is that there is a canal or small river which runs at the side of the site which makes that side a bit 'midgy', if you use it I suggest you stick to the side of the site where reception is or in the vicinity of the shower blocks which is a bit more open.
