If this is typical of a Dutch campsite then the Dutch definitely do it right! This was our first camping holiday to France and it has been a fantastic experience.
RCN is a Dutch company who have campsites in Holland and France. This campsite is owned by a Dutch family. As such, it attracts lots of Dutch families - we never actually met any French families during out 12 night stay!
The staff on reception on our early arrival were so welcoming and friendly, and spoke brilliant English. They gave us about eight pitches we could take our pick from. The pitch we chose was huge, separated by tall hedges with hook up point and drinking water tap inbetween us and our neighbours. Our pitch was very sunny with little shade. Other pitches were very shady, some with views of the lake.
The unisex toilet blocks were never closed for cleaning but were cleaned about ever two hours! I've never known toilet blocks be so consistently clean! Loads of showers, loads of loos with toilet seats and which never ran out of loo paper, lots of pot washing sinks, private wash basins. I never had to queue for the toilet or a shower.
There is shop on site with basic provisions and toys, fishing rods and swimming pool accessories. Fresh baguettes, pains, croissant, pain au chocolats were delivered every morning. There is a good sized supermarket in the town of Coex which was about a 20 minute, flat cycle ride away. Mainly on trails with the last bit riding through the town. You can buy a map of the local cycle paths from reception. My husband used these quite a lot and enjoyed them.
Throughout the summer the 'Animation' team put on daily events which usually started with a handicraft session in the morning and ended with a story (in Dutch) and hilarious dancing at 7pm. My six and three year old loved these. Throughout the day there were bike rides to village markets, events in the pool, table tennis, football tournaments. The events programme (in English) was delivered to our tent on a Friday night showing the following weeks events.
One of the reasons I chose this site was that it only had one pool which didn't look huge. It was perfect. My six year old had the freedom to play with his new found friends (both Dutch and English) but I could always see him when with his little sister. At it's busiest you couldn't really swim 'lengths' but this was so infrequent it was quiet more than it was busy. At around 35 degrees for our first week the pool was a god send!
From the campsite you can cycle down to Lac du Jaunay where you can hire pedalos, canoes etc or just eat ice cream and take in the view!
There is also a donkey sanctuary on the way to the lake where you can hire a donkey for the children to ride on.
We never went to the beach but it's about 10km away.
This site really is a hidden gem and we will definitely go back at some point.

What can I say, just returned from this site and wish I was still there! Quite simply it's superb.
The pitches are spacious beyond anything I have experienced in the UK, the site really puts UK sites to shame. It was easy to find, just off the new ring road around coex.
The site is well laid out with ample toilets and showers, I only had to queue once in two weeks, they were always spotless. The site uses UK electric hook up, the water is drinking quality with outlets at every other pitch.
The pool was great our kids, 9&5, absolutely loved it, yes the site is predominately Dutch, but they were most welcoming, but isn't that what international sites are about, mixing with other cultures?
Only missing really a tennis court from a sports point of view.
We absolutely loved our holiday, and will be back

We decided to visit this area for a consecutive year. Last year we stayed in a nearby campsite which we found dreadful.
This site is an absolute gem! We stayed for three weeks. The facilities are modern, very clean and well kept unlike the majority of campsites in Britain.
We have three children 10 8 5 who loved the varied activities which were put on by the campsite staff. The pool has super slides and at times can be busy but never too crowded.
The campsite was occupied mostly by people from the Netherlands and few British and French.
The kids enjoyed playing with their kids in the pool and on the sports field. Some activities were free (football, Belly sliding), others we paid for but this did include a trained instructor (archery)
Some activities were held off the campsite eg kayaking and high wire climbing in the trees.
Absolutely fab! We loved this site and will be returning.

We too stayed at this campsite during August 2010. We had a fantastic fortnight's stay. We were warmly welcomed and felt the staff were extremely helpful. The site is very popular with Dutch families but most staff spoke excellent English (although we liked to use our French if possible) and our children quite happily chatted and played with non-English children on the site. The pool is very popular but never too crowded in our opinion and we made good use of the lovely wooden playgrounds and the big field where we played various sports. The washblocks were spotless and very well laid out. Lots to do in the local area eg the local lakes and windmill, various beaches and the botanical gardens in Coex which were a hit with the whole family. The highlight was a fantastic day at Puy du Fou which was well worth the expense - our children have not stopped talking about it! We will be back.

Although this site was spotless I feel I ought to point out the pool was very small and constantly packed out. The site is 95% Dutch and I felt we were tolerated rather than welcomed. Most of the literature for events, things to do etc was in Dutch and the kids felt a little left out. Also we booked online and thought we had booked for 2 adults and 2 children. However, half way through the week the manager informed us we had not declared the 2 adults - why a flag didn't go up if the booking showed only 2 children is beyond comprehension. The paperwork I had showed 2 Adults and 2 Children but to no avail. We subsequently had to pay an extra 80 euros. Double, triple check your booking! The surrounding area is beautiful and I will return. However I will give this site a very wide berth.

I'm a bit reluctant to review this site as I think that it is a hidden gem, still unspoilt by the British tourist with his barbequed breakfast, John Smiths beer and Satelite TV.
Typical I believe of the Dutch RCN sites, this is totally geared towards family and family life.
The pitches are enormous, all with a tap and electric hook up and room for caravan / tent, awning, second tent and a car or two. (Our Outwell Nebraska XL with extension looked small in our pitch).
There are several toilet / shower / washing up blocks around the site and these can obviously get busy, but were good and always clean.
It is set in it's own spacious area about 5 mins (max) from the nearest SuperU supermarket and 10 mins from the fabulous 'Les Dunes' beach.
The pool area is adequate and was never too busy. The entertainment program for children was good but not overwhelming and generally kept my 8 and 12 year olds happy.
The shop was typical of these sites offering all the basics and the bar area was pleasant but limited as they tend to focus on the camping, not the drinking.
We had a great holiday here, although it was predominantly dutch campers here (95%), the staff spoke good English and we never felt isolated.
We would recommend this site for families who enjoy family life and want a relaxing family holiday. If you want to bring your sky dish on holiday with you, then find another site as you will spoil this one.
Would we recommend? - oh yes.
Would be return? - that is our intention.
