Has anybody stayed at this site in Brittany?  We're thinking of going for a week in August but can't find any reviews. Any comments would be really helpful.

We've been there a couple of times. It's a pleasant well run site with all the usual facilities of a 3/4 star site. There is a small lake there and swimming shorts are not allowed in the swimming pool as is common in many French sites. There is a local market in Dol on Saturdays and it is convenient for Mont St Michel, St Malo, Dinan and Concale. Try to vist Mont St Michel in the evening and from the top watch the sun go down.

Yep I can second that as my parents used to use it with their caravan.  They always spoke highly of it and the owner used to send them a Christmas card each year!  Very friendly people.  They loved the area too and we did and will consider it when we get around to touring that part of France!

I`ve been there twice and plan to go again. Very well run site, nice clean facilities, very helpful staff, nice big pool with flume pool, mail pool and kiddy pool, , kids club, good playpark, little shop, bar, good bar food and takeaway, some really good local flavour entertainment in the evening. Pitches are a decent size too and most are flat.It does sound as if it should be a very busy, commercial site but certainly when we`ve been there in late July it`s still felt very uncrowded.

The nearest town, Dol, is small but has a beautiful medieval centre, and the bay of Mont St Michael is stunning. Dol market is excellent too, and there`s a very cheap internet cafe if you want one. There are at least two big supermarkets on the road out from Dol towards the campsite.

I was with my Hubby and two kids the last two times I`ve been and my kids are desperate to go there again. (I`m game too, but Hubby wants to find a good snorkling area.) In 2008 I`ll be taking the kids out to France on my own for two weeks before Hubby comes out and I`m intending to go to La Vieux Chene for that fortnight. It`s a safe, comfortable, well run campsite.

Many thanks for your comments - it sounds like a lovely site.
