A very good first day. Thought the weather may have been a bit iffy but it turned out to be a glorious day.
I'm impressed with the campsite - very clean, friendly staff and campers and a mix of nationalities.
Close to pretty little town should you want to walk in.
The pool area was busy today with very few, if any, spare loungers and they are sited quite close to the water, so be prepared to get splashed if people are chucking balls about.
We are currently wandering around the animal enclosures, which appear to have electric fences as well as wooden ones!
Don't forget to leave a review of the French and other European campsites you have visited!
The market in the town is worth a visit, and of course the supermarket is a few minutes walk away.There is a very good restaurant in the village, I think you turn right out of the campsite,keep walking and it is near the bridge. I think the restaurant owner is a neighbour of the campsite owner.
It is a lovely site, especially the animals part.
We stayed here in June, we showed up and booked in for 2 nights, then added a third. We thought it was a lovely site, we pushed the boat out and went for a pitch with a private bathroom! A nice easy stroll into the town, and we found an excellent butcher there so we cooked each night rather than eating out. Out of school holidays, I would not hesitate to stay there again!
We wanted to stay here but it was fully booked for our dates :-(

How very dare you Robbo! I only tried the €1.49 a litre rosé for a laugh to see if it was drinkable! I could quickly go off people you know.........
Must agree, Haliotis is a great site, loving the private bathroom too. Even with a caravan it makes a big difference, especially with there being 2 adults, 2 older kids and a 3 year old. Definitely a campsite I would return to! Big thumbs up from us!!

we stayed there in June and really liked it but the noise of the road was so so loud at night that I just could sleep with it - we were in a tent up at the private bathrooms and think maybe if we were at the other end of the site it mightnt have been as loud ?
But in general a great site and a great location

We are hoping to stay here next year. How was 4 Vents? We have 3 nights there in 2 weeks.

Oh 4 vents is lovely - so quiet and peaceful, spotlessly clean and huge pitches - we stayed for a week mainly for Disney and it was just perfect . It was really empty when we were there i think we counted 15 tourers and 2 tents including us.
