 Well I don't like telling t0o many people about this especially the carp fishermen, This Tarn has the most fantastic fighting mid 20s To 33lbs fishing in Normandy, with lakeside pitches, ( yes lakeside pitches)The venue is the fishermans Eden
With perfect hosts who are also developing this site with a new toilet block shower facility that are second to none in France
Rates are reasonable, you can also have meals provided by Sarah and welcomed warmly by them both. Please check the site out you wont be disappointed.

Although the camp site was in the middle of a major renovation the new owners Peter and Sarah made us very welcome. We were able to take our pick and so chose a lakeside pitch with simply stunning views. To wake up, open the door to be greeted by no more sound than a distant cuckoo and look out at the mist rising slowly from the lake was magical. If you like walking there are some brilliant forest walks close by and the pretty town of Remalard is only a few kms away, as is the Intermarche (with cheap fuel). I can't wait to return later in the year and see what the new owners have achieved.

Although in the middle of site improvements and renovations we were made very welcome. A lovely peaceful and restful site. At present chocks required on most pitches for motorhomes. Enjoyed a home cooked meal in the restaurant. Vet, shops and supermarket in nearby town. Will be a great place to stay once all facilities updated and operational in a few months time. We will return to enjoy the countryside, the local places to visit and the hospitality of the owners. (Rating for site facilities below is for the ones we had available to us as all facilities being updated now. )

The owners were very hospitable and looked after us extremely well. We took the winter pitch package which was excellent; the owners cooking is a mouthwatering delight. Our visit was not blessed by the best of weather, ice & snow, but we were welcomed to stay as long as we needed for the roads to be clear. It was a brilliant start to our trip the bonus was the area which had a lot of excellent walks there would have been really good cycling too but too snowy to risk 2 wheels.
The site is in a good location & Remelard turned out to be the best provided for & most lived in village of the trip. Facilities even with the work are good & we could see in spring the site would be very attractive.
The best thing is the welcome. Sarah and Peter are excellent hosts and looked after us well, they even took us to the local market on the Saturday.
A good stopover site, we drove from the Dover Calais Ferry. I think if we could have used the bikes we would have stayed a lot longer.
We will be going back.

We visited Forest View and took advantage of their Plat de Jour offer, breakfast and evening meal which was ideal as we were only passing through the area. The hospitality from the owners was second to none, and received a very warm welcome from them both. The family camping pitches are separated from the quiet camping pitches by a lovely lake. New toilet block planned, cant wait to return to see it completed. We have already booked up for a longer stay later in the year. Highly Recommended.

We are on our way to our home in Spain and were looking for a one night stopover, sometimes difficult at this time of the year, most campsites having closed their doors until next year. We came across Forest View in the Caravan Club book, but couldn't contact the site by the telephone number given. We were fortunate enough to have access to the internet and so found the website, which gave us the correct number.
We made a reservation and, whilst chatting, Peter (Wilson) offered us a package that included a two course evening meal with our hosts. We readily accepted, not really wanting to cook in the motorhome with the door closed, windows steaming up etc. The meal, cooked by Sarah, was wonderful and we spent the evening chatting and laughing as if we had known each other for simply ages.
Peter and Sarah have only had the campsite for three weeks and are planning much upgrading of the facilities, although they were adequate for our one night. We will definitely return in 2013 and spend some time fishing and relaxing in the superb surroundings.

Glad we use UK campsites or we would never have found this lovely site. Stayed for 5 nights in some very hot weather and most appreciated being in the orchard by some trees. The splash pool was very popular, great for kids and adults too and it adds a liveliness to an otherwise calm and relaxing spot. The owner lent us an extension lead so we could pitch at the bottom of the orchard, great for chilling out, many hardly seemed to leave the site!
A supermarket is 2 miles down the road with fuel, really couldn't be more convenient. The forest is right next to you, a short walk up or across the road and you are in it, so perfect if you have a dog, or just fancy a walk.
Plenty of information on the area provided, market days etc, a small cafe and even bread if you pre order. Wifi best close to house but did the job when needed. So everything you could possibly need for a relaxing break is right here.

We stayed here with our bell tent on the way to the Loire valley from Calais; a lovely spot with very welcoming hosts. Very quiet, and good facilities, with a good supermarket close by. We had an inch of rain during one night but the site drains very quickly, fortunately. Watch out for ants though if you're in a tent-we did have quite a few but we were close to the edge of the site where there are probably more than in the middle. Nice place-good for kids too as very safe for them to run around.

We had 10 days at Forest View and if you want a quiet peaceful holiday in a rural setting then this is the place. The nearest town is 5 minutes drive, it has a supermarket and little else, there are bars and restaurants around but all are a drive away, if you want night life forget it. The toilets and showers are kept very clean although they are not exactly modern. There was just the 2 of us so we haven't got kids to amuse but I suspect that if we had they would enjoy the freedom to explore that this site offers. The fishing is not easy but I did manage to large carp while we were there. A site we will visit again in the future I am sure.

Stayed here for 2 nights on our way to the west coast. Had a fantastic time, so very relaxing and peaceful. Kids loved having the freedom and space to roam around exploring. Hosts were lovely and very welcoming. Area around was excellent, well worth exploring.
The only downside were the toilets and showers as looking quite dilapidated. The owners said they were due an upgrade. When that happens it will be worth the 10 stars.

Get in touch with the French countryside at this site. The location is beautiful with fantastic panoramas in a 5 mile radius.
The ground is sandy, so soft - beware if your outfit is something other than a tent.
Some pitches are sloping but there are a few level ones. The toilets/washrooms are basic - well cleaned but poor drains - 'put your used toilet paper in the bin' reads one of the instructions in the toilet. Plenty of hot water and 5 Euros for washing machine and tablet.
Wi-fi is included in the very reasonable pitch price, but reception is better if you buy a beer and sit in the garden nearer the transmitter.
I suggest a visit to Belleme as the nearest town that is moderately interesting - Nogent, Mortagne and Remalard range from awful to dull, however the journeys too and from these towns were a pleasure.
Remember your insect repellent!

Just spent 9 nights at Forest View and had a great time.
Site is great, lots of space, well chosen areas for pitching. Camped by the lake and it was a real back to nature feel.
Toilets and showers are fine, and kept nice and clean. Owners very friendly, and it's nice to have the shop on site for bread and ice creams.
Went with our 5 & 3 year old, and they loved it. Very safe Lots of wildlife to chase and places to explore. Splash pool very welcome for hot days. They loved Nelson as well!
Plenty of interesting trips out. Lots of pretty villages in the vicinity, and we went to Chartres and Sees a little further away.
It's great if you want peace, not all action by any means, but plenty to do. Will be back for sure.

Very friendly owners who really look after you, it's a quiet site ideal for nature lovers young and old, very good carp fishing, I would really recommend this campsite for a great holiday or as a stop over. Toilet block is very clean, good play area with a nice splash pool to cool down. Great area for Markets and French boot sales it's our third year and can't wait till next time. The French people in this area are very friendly compared to other places we have visited in France. Good food on site with it's home cooked meals, takeaway or from its handy little shop

We have just returned from a wonderful few days in the Perche region. First impressions of the campsite are its peace, tranquility, beautiful lake and orchard. We camped under the apple trees (bump in the night!) and savoured the silence. The road is nearby but it is not heavily used so there was little traffic noise to disturb us. The facilities are great but not the high-tech of some sites (if that sort of thing is important to you). The showers and toilets were kept spotless and there was standpipe, washing machine, tidy washing-up and clean rubbish areas. What more could you want? We wanted somewhere peaceful and rural with no extra gizmos but were grateful for the pint of milk from the shop. As someone else has said, a walk round the lake in the evening is perfect after a good camp meal and snaffling the patisseries. The early evening sun over the orchard, with the view out to the forest is breathtaking. So much so my fella proposed to me there! We travelled without the kids, and had time to visit the monasteries, religious sites, do a few rambles, tour the Alpes Mancelles etc in 3 days. The campsite is perfect as a centre for the small Perche region and we could have filled a week with activities easily. It was quiet the week we were there, so not sure how it is later in the season, but we hope to return one day. Lovely spot!

I booked for a week and ended up staying three weeks! Karen and Pete make you so welcoming at their campsite, and are great company. Having spent a week camping on the Normandy coast at a very commercial French campsite, Forest View was a breath of fresh air. Yes it is in a rural area, but that is one of its strengths, and once you have spent time here, you want to come back. The nearby town of Rémalard has an excellent supermarket, weekly market and the most amazing private garden which is open to the public. There is so much to do and see in the area, and I spent many an hour walking in the nearby Fôret de Saussay without meeting another soul.
My tent was pitched right by the lake, and it was so peaceful and I enjoyed listening to the ‘frog chorus’ at night, after the odd rain shower. All the facilities - toilets, showers and laundry areas were immaculate. Apart from EHU and internet access, there is a small shop which stocks the basic essentials, including wine! Cooked snacks are also available at lunch and in the evening.
During my stay, I met lots of campers who return year after year, and I will definitely be one of them. Even if you just stay a day or two on your way to Southern France, I am sure that you will enjoy yourself.
