We arrived a while before check in time and our pitch wasn’t ready so we parked in the car park beside reception and took the chance to look around the site and find out where the facilities etc were. Once our pitch was ready we drove down to it.
It is quite a steep site and the roads are fairly narrow, we didn’t have too much trouble getting our caravan onto the pitch but if you had a large van I think it would be difficult.
We had booked a sea view pitch, it was but maybe not the best view due to the bushes growing up. It was also a very uneven pitch, we think it must have been wet and the ground was full of dips, we took some time deciding how to position the van and awning to avoid the worst of them and ended up with the awning quite close to the hedge but it worked ok.
The facilities nearest to us were a unisex block of two toilets, two hand sink cubicles and two showers. Across the way there was another small, older block. All were kept very clean. There were lots of these little blocks dotted about the campsite so very handy. Most looked relatively new.
There is a swimming pool where the roof can be opened up on warmer days, it isn’t huge but was clean and warm and we enjoyed a few swims.
The shop is small and basic and beside it is the club and takeaway. You can eat your takeaway in the bar or outside on the very pleasant terrace with views across the bay and sunsets are amazing. The food was very good.
As I’ve said the site is quite steep so be aware of this if you find walking difficult. You can walk from the site to a small beach and also onto the customs path ( coast path) and we enjoyed walking both ways from the site, again you need to be aware it’s a natural path and not always flat, it could be stony and steep in places. You can walk the coast path to the port at St cast le Guildo and from there into the town.
The town is very pleasant with lots of restaurants and little shops and a very long beach. There is an easier walk into town via the streets and a market is held here during the week.
The supermarket we used is a few miles away in Matignon, it’s a good size with ample parking. A large market is held here as well.
We enjoyed our holiday here, lots of interesting places to visit like Cap Frehel and Fort la Latte.
Would recommend the site, we had a great holiday here.
This is a beautiful site set on a hillside amongst lots of lovely mature trees, overlooking the sea. We paid extra for a sea-view pitch and this was very worthwhile as we got a spacious pitch with a perfect view.
There is a large well-equipped facilities block with efficient washing machines and very good driers, and there are smaller blocks handily dotted around too.
There's a nice bar with a terrace overlooking the sea, a perfect place for a sundowner.
A little shop sells useful tinned and refrigerated food (no fresh food though), and rolls/croissants to order.
A reasonable sized pool, and a sauna, but we didn't use it.
An excellent beach, La Pissotte, is 5 minutes' walk away, as is the GR34 coast path for good walks in either direction. The village, where there is a Carrefour supermarket and several bars, cafés and restaurants, is 20 minutes'walk.
There too is the very large main beach, which we walked along but didn't stay at, since there is little or no shade there. We didn't use our bikes since the area is rather hilly, but realised on our last day that there are some good cycling opportunities in the rural hinterland, which we are sure to try out next time.
The electricity supply is good, as is internet for a modest fee.
Excellent part covered heated pool Friendly staff Bar and reasonable sized shop
Many pitches have sea views and only charge euro a night extra
20 Min walk into town about 90 mins via coast path stopping to take pictures and admire the view '20 min walk to a sandy beach accessed by many steps Other beaches also available to walk to
Arrived here for our last 4 nights of our tour of south west. Love this site. Have been here for 4 previous trips of varying nights. Campsite was full but we managed to stay as someone who had booked did not arrive. { campsite tried contacting by email and phone]. Our luck as the pitch available was the best ever, with fab views of the sea. This site is even better than last time. The swimming pools now have a cover for cool days. However it was very hot and sunny whilst we were there. Facilities regually cleaned, welcoming bar, good play areas and lots of happy campers. Steep walks down hills to beaches, wonderful views. Lovely pavement cafes and some shops in St Cast town. Walk to Marina from beach now complete. Enjoyed eating at La Marmite again. Will be back. Already missing the sunsets.
We wanted a one-night stop fairly near to Saint-Malo in order to catch a ferry the following morning. This was one of very few sites who will take a single night booking during August.
The views are incredibly lovely, the beach was clean and quiet, a bit steep to get there and back if you're not fit.
I tried to get directions from the site beforehand, but they didn't answer my email. So I managed to find directions via the Caravan Club website. They also send people to this site.
If we hadn't had directions, we would have been in trouble, because it is off the beaten track, and we were towing a caravan.
When we arrived, there was nowhere to park to book in without blocking the whole road. Within the few minutes it took for the receptionist to explain the map and which pitch, there were 4 cars waiting and one complaint.
Then, as we made our way to our pitch, we realised just how narrow the roads to the pitches really are!
We got stuck once, and had to go up a bank with the car within 6 inches of someone else's awning between their guy ropes - if their motorcaravan had been in we would not have made it to our pitch.
Ours is not a long caravan - 6. 7m=22ft including A-frame, but we struggled to get around the hairpin bend between the tall hedges.
Our pitch was not incredibly big, so once the car was on it next to our caravan, there was no room for anything else. And because the roads are so narrow, we couldn't even do a 3 point turn, so we had to reverse the car a long way to get it out.
It was immediately apparent that we weren't going to be able to tow the caravan out of the pitch.
This ruined the rest of our evening, as we were trying to work out the best way of getting off of the campsite.
Luckily we have a mover, so we were able to reverse the caravan out of a row of pitches to the main road - we left it blocking the main road, whilst we hitched up (on a very steep hill). We were trying not to wake up the whole neighbourhood, but we had to do this at 7am in the morning, in order to catch our ferry, and not block the road during a busy time.
We were not the only people to do this - another unit had done the exact same manoeuvres at 5. 30am!
It was a real downer to the end of our holiday - and I would not recommend this site to anyone with anything except a smallish car and tent / or hire one of their chalets which are the majority of the pitches anyway.
We didn't use many of the facilities because of our short amount of time.
The main toilet block was shut overnight, so you had to go to the little blocks which only had one urinal and one toilet each (serving maybe 25 pitches).
The take-away restaurant (which we were relying on) opened 3/4 hour later than advertised.
And it was extortionate money - I paid 65 euros for the one night (without electric).
Our first caravan trip abroad – Le Chatalet proved a great choice. All nicely kept with shrubs and greenery.
Yes, it was a bit tight in places for our 22ft caravan, but with careful negotiation, it was easily accessible. We opted for the ‘sea view’ and were delighted with our spot. However, I can see that if you had a large caravan or camper van opposite you, your view could be completely obliterated. Absolutely stunning views and sunsets!
Facilities: Showers fluctuated, but generally hot and good water pressure – always clean and no queuing. Toilets – very clean despite being a unisex bathroom with toilets, wash cubicles and showers. Chemical disposal point is (apparently) also the waste water disposal point but this isn’t clearly marked. You need to be able to lift your waste water over a small wall 8-10” high.
Site shop - stocks most everyday items, but does only keep the bear minimum – get up early to get your croissants as they’re all sold out by 9. 30am! This shop has soooo much potential!
Pool – fabulous with it’s new sliding roof and lovely garden. (aqua-gym sessions twice weekly)
Bar – Good - if you like the organised activity sort of thing. Activities on every night from quiz nights, karaoke, kids entertainment, live bands, disco’s – a good selection to suit most tastes (except mine!)
Lake very pretty.
Reception staff – multi-lingual, very friendly and helpful
Takeaway – Rotisserie chickens, freshly made pizza’s, burgers, hot dogs and the best chips ever. All freshly prepared so you have to wait, but worth it!
Site overall could benefit from a proper restaurant.
Playground - lots to offer: 2 x pentanque pitches, younger children's play area, vollyball nets in next door field + football nets, table tennis. But the best of all was the older kids play equipment which was actually 'work out equipment'! Cross trainers, bi-ceps trainers, you name it. What a great idea! This site really does have something for everyone!
Location – good.
Beach - a short walk (down steep steps) or a drive - lovely sandy beaches - great for rock pooling.
La Mamite restaurant just a short stroll away – lovely people, fabulous food and within walking distance.
Le Chatelet was a great first experience of caravanning in France. It was a good location, very pretty, good value, stunning views, clean and catered for most tastes. Would we return – yes!
Pitch I had on this site had a fantastic view of the estuary from the cliff tops, with the sun setting straight in front. Worth paying the extra for it.
Nice walks along the cliff tops and down to the beach.
Reception staff were pleasant and helpful until the point that they gave you a map to get to the pitch rather than taking you personally. I missed my turn off as it wasn't very well marked and ended up in a playing area where I had to turn round and get back to roadway which was very tight. My missing the entrance was noted by someone from the site on a golf trolley who made no attempt to stop me, then he just sat in the cart watching as I struggled to get back. Just what I needed after 6 hours driving and 30C temperatures. Turn ins very tight so be aware.
Most off the site facilities are in a central area which can mean a steep climb.
Toilets clean with good showers. Bit of graffiti in the toilets, first time I've ever seen that in France. Most of it in English.
Easy walk from the site into St Cast where there are a few nice restaurants. Handy as you can sample a little of the local cider with your meal.
This is the 3rd time we have visited this site. Fabulous views from the site. There are several types of pitches here. We choose the sea view and the sunsets were wonderful, good size with or without electric. Lovely shrubs, trees and hedges defining each pitch. Camp site reception staff are multilingual and very helpful. The area is on steep cliffs but the walks to the 3 local beaches well worth it. Good play areas, pool fishing pond and children's club.A bar with evening entertainment{not open during the day}. Very small shop selling fresh,bread milk etc. Toilets and showers always clean and very little queuing. This is a family site and many people return each year.
We actually stayed here the first time we went to France in the year 2000. It was lovely though it took for ever to find! That could have been down to our useless mapreader ( me ). The facilities were good, as was the play areas. The direct beach was good to walk to, though steep for little ones. The site had a little take away and shop which were fine. It was a lovely area and close to Le Mont St Michel, which is lovely but gets very busy in August. Well worth a visit though.
We stayed here the first two weeks of July. It was exactly what we were looking for. A reasonably quiet site with a pool and two paths to sandy beaches. The paths were OK but if you have young children you need to hold their hands for some of them as there are in fact cliff drops to the side of the paths. However we think we finally spotted another route down to the beach on the last day which was a safe route. You can also go via the road if you want to avoid cliffs ! However one of the beaches was lovely with boats tied up off it and shallow water. The campsite had a pool, nice small shop with fresh baguettes in the morning. Nice bar, entertainment seemed good we saw a Karaoke which was fun and got the kids involved. The guy running it seemed to be multilingual which was great. Shower blocks all seemed clean. We stayed in a Mobile Home with Ian Mearns holidays. It was fine but plot fairly small so no room for kids to run about much. The road past our caravan was supposed to be 10km per hour but most british folk seemed to think this meant they could drive past at 20 mph so it wasnt safe to let the kids go wandering. Two small playparks too and a table tennis. So a good quiet site no doubt much busier mid July and August when all the kids clubs start up.
