The camping pitches look nice and vary in size. The camping pitches are (half) shady or sunny. The shade is created by the many acacias, oaks, mulberry trees, bignonias, pines and albizias.

Travelling party: Couple

Ein ruhiger und schattiger Campingplatz. Vor allem bei der Hitze. Wir waren 5 Tage hier und würden auch wieder kommen.

Travelling party: Seniors

Kleiner, familiärer Campingplatz mit sauberen, aber eng angelegten, eher kleinen Stellplätzen. Sanitäranlagen etwas in die Jahre gekommen, aber ok und sauber. Zum felsigen Strand (schmaler Sandsaum) sind es etwa 10 Minuten Fußweg. Das naheliegende Fischerörtchen La Côtiniere kann man auch fußläufig in ca. 20 Minuten erreichen, Fahhräder sind sicher angenehmer. Für die Jahreszeit war es voller als erwartet.
