Nice large site with beautiful pool. We spent a lot of time in the pool which was frequented by all as there wasn't too much to do in the area apart from visit the Loire river and nearby town of Gien (very nice). Large flat pitches which gave us ample space all with electricity. The lake looked a bit sad due to lots of weed and algae.
There were a few young people on the site one night that caused quite a bit of noise and disturbance, once reported to the staff they were asked to leave. Good to know that complaints were acted upon quickly.
Good little take away and shop (a bit pricey). Toilets and showers were a bit ropey, need updating and a good clean. Nice little park for children but quite near the lake.
This site was very relaxing. The reception staff were helpful and showed us to our pitch on a bike. The pitch was level and ground easy to use pegs on, but watch out for ants' nests! The pitches are a reasonable size and divided by hedges, giving a good break between you and neighbours. Many people get a delux pitch which is infact two pitches. There is a EHU post and tap for every 3-6 pitches. There is plenty of open space for children(and parents) to play ball games on. There is a small outdoor pool complex, good for young kids only. There are 2 indoor pools, one excellent one for toddlers and a more adult one with sauna. These indoor pools cost extra. There is a bar and restaurant on site but quiet and quite pricy. There is an excellent take away that most people seemed to use once or twice. Pick carefully as some items are delicious and inexpensive such as mixed salads approx 3-4 euros, whereas others were expensive and disappointing, such as pizzas, 10-11 euros.
There is a lake with a make shift beach and a couple of canoes but when we were there you couldn't see the water for thick algea and weed.
There is a small shop with basics and fresh bread and pain au chocolat but as expected quite expensive, 7 euros plus for local wine.
There are few toilets and showers resulting in queues, especially when there are a lot of tents on site. Also these could have been kept a bit cleaner.
Whilst we were there, there was also an organised party of young children.School/youth club trip?.That took up a group of around 6-8 pitches. They were no bother but the noise level was obviously higher when they were around.
The town of Gien is nearby 10 minutes drive, and is worth wandering around, resting on banks of Loire. The largest supermarket nearby is also here, open 7 days and during lunch, Auchan. Go over old bridge then turn left and follow river, you can't miss it.
There is a small chateau at Sully sur Loire about half an hour away that is worth seeing. Also a trip to the famous wine village of Sancerre is worth a visit, but buy wine out of city centre at caves, just as nice and a lot cheaper!
In summary a pleasant site, especially for young families and those wanting a more relaxed atmosphere.
Nice site this. One of the more expensive in the Loire though - in the middle of July it was over 40 Euro per night for a pitch and 4 people in a tent. The site is a few km from the town of Gien in the Eastern Loire, where there is a large Auchan. There is also a small supermarket much closer in a the village of Polly-Lez-Gien. Gien is an OK town for day, but wouldn't win many prizes in the most-beautiful-town-in-the-Loire stakes.
The site also sells a card which gives free usage of (almost) all the outdoor activities for 50 Euro for a family of 4 for 7 days. If you intend to do a bit of tennis, archery, canoeing, etc, then this is well worth it. Bike hire isn't included. It also gets you exclusive access to the indoor pool up to 6pm, which we found to be worth it's weight in gold when the good outdoor pool area is full.
The site is big, but is divided into zones and divided by high hedges, so it does keep the feel of a small site quite a bit. Toilet blocks are an adequate size and kept reasonably clean. There are quite a few chalets for hire, so if you don't want a pitch beside some of them, you'll have to search around for your pitch - which the staff don't mind at all.
Other handy facilities are a decent shop with OK prices (lots of cheaper Casino brand stuff), an average pizza / chippy take away from 6:30 pm, and a fairly expensive restaurant - which we didn't try.
Staff were very helpful and friendly and most spoke very good English.
I would go back again - and take the week activity card and spend the week on site.
