We are thinking of going to this site in August, (we will be taking our caravan) has anyone been there recently as there is only 1 review back in 2006?

It looks like a nice site.

Just wanted to get of your blue face Loopy lou!

I have been to this site in 2006, but I stayed in a static, so I couldn't comment on the facilities for caravans.

I also went the 1st week in May, so very different from August! It is a former Haven site, but nowhere as big as some in this country.

Nice swimming pool and play areas all around the site. Alot of the caravans are owned, by a mixture of Brits & French.

Lovely area surrounding the site, and about 3-5 miles away from the nearest beach from what I can remember. There are lots of other caravan parks along that coast, it just depends on what you are looking for.

Thanks Smudger, we are used to Haven sites in the UK so this particular site shouldn't come as a shock if it is big and lively, that is what we prefer.

Just looking into the costs, I don't think it is going to be particularly cheap.

We went last August.

We did enjoy the holiday, dont get me wrong, but the pitches (we had 3 families together opposite the toilet block, requested) were rough. Tents though

There was so little grass when it rained, a good few times, it was quite muddy. The services were just a loose pipe for water (It made it hard to pitch as was in the way) and the elec was a loose cable.

The pitches were narrow, but to be fair we all had large tents, and as a group it wasnt so bad to be close, but with strangers it could be harder.

The toilet/shower block was quite open windy round your ankles (mixed sex) and dark at night. It was cleaned well, but wasnt exceptional.

A family nearby had an expensive mountain bike stolen overnight, security werent of much help. 

The kids enjoyed the kids clubs, the bar was fairly priced, the entertainment was...french!! The local area was a bit empty, but we travelled around abit for days out

 We booked using Tesco vouchers but have found a much better deal this year at Les-castles (using tesco deals to pay for channel tunnel) still cheaper, and have had lots of good recommendations.

I hope this doesnt make you feel bad if you have already booked, needed to be honest
