We have booked for August too and also wanted a large but quiet pitch...the lady I spoke to was really helpful and we ended up reserving a pitch on row C (they are about 150m2) which she said would be nice and quiet. If you have a look at their website you can see the park layout. I would suggest ringing them for advice, they really are very helpful.

Woody Not 100% but i think i got some info posted out to me from the campsite and they were fully booked for the summer about 2 months ago think you should give em a call sharpish.
Woody, we stayed their last year for 4 nights - we didn't book just rang ahead on the day and there were only two pitches available that day - but people were coming and going all the time. Two days later the brother in law met us, (they didnt book in advance either) for a five night stay. As marc60 says, they probably get booked up well in advance so get to it if it is the place for you. As for good pitches, A and B section are v. quiet and out of the way. C has a central resevation down it whcih can be busy with children playing but I dont think was too noisy.We stayed on H which was fairly quiet, next to the lake. G is busy- it fronts on to the main road through the site but the pitches are big are set back 30 from the road! Great space to spread out if you have children! Anything too near the multisports pitch will be noisy. The pitches by H tended to be long and narrow, access wasn't always easy. I think some of the pitches off the main roads were a good size (E, F agd G.) Its a busy site mainly English (Keycamp and Eurocamp are there) but Dutch and some French. Hit it right and the fair turns up on the feast day of Our Lady of the Assumption (mid August?) and sets up on the field next to the multisports. If you want quiet I would definitiely look to C, B and A. Restaurant not bad either.

thankyou very much for your replies so far. We will try and request a pitch in row c b or a. In the past we have found that the campsites in the les castels chain have always listened to our requests for a quiet pitch and one not too near the loos; on the subject were these always clean?
thankyou very much Alan you have been very helpful and we will reserve a pitch near the cleanest blocks. We have been to two other castels sites, one in the loire and one in south Brittany, should you ever need advise on which pitches etc to choose and what we thought of those campsites.
