 Stayed here (mum, Mr14 and Ms11) as a stopover en route to Germany. We had very mixed weather (lots of rain, big storm, some sunshine).

The pitch had a few tree roots which meant there was only one way to put the tent up and that meant we were lying sideways on a slight slope.

However, nice grassy pitches with good hedges for screening. Ducks on the site loving the weather.

Showers were clean. No toilet seats (not unusual in France but the children weren't impressed though didn't complain too much either!)

Excellent cycle paths. We cycled across town to the big Leclerc supermarket.

There is an inflatable obstacle course very nearby on the swimming lake. Campsite pool is small but lovely with a couple of slides. You can walk/cycle into town. Short drive to the Verdun memorial museum.

I usually look for different/new stopovers every year but would definitely return here. Partly so we could do everything again in better weather, partly because it's a good site in a nice location. Felt very much like part of the holiday and not just a stopover. As the only driver, that makes a big difference to me.

 Really nice site undergoing modernisation including nice powerful showers. Lots of facilities including good laundry facilities, a bar and restaurant.

Only a short walk from town and quite secluded. The site is quite close to a railway line but the trains were infrequent and quite slow.

We had a nice pitch with hard standing and electric hook up, facing the lake. The pitch was of good size and had 2 metre hedges separating it from adjacent pitches,

 Awesome campsite with good communication throughout and friendly staff.

The site is clean and very well maintained, with the facilities were kept to very high standard.

The pitch I was allocated was a good size, level and had tall hedges either side for privacy.

The site is within easy walking distance into the town centre through the towns defences.

 Access/Egress

Very close to and an easy route from the A4. Access into the campsite is wide and clear with a pull in space slightly up the road if busy with other units.

Fairly steep (but manageable) hill out of the site, a slow run up the hill gives the exit barrier time to lift without having to hit your brakes.

Check in

English speaking chap on reception, very efficient.

Toilets

Two toilet blocks, we only used the main block.

Functional but definitely ready for updating. Cleaned once a day at around 12. Still able to use the facilities during this time. When we arrived the ladies toilets had paper but this ran out during our second day there and wasn't replenished. The gents had no paper at any point of our stay. No seats on the loos.

Showers

The showers have been updated more recently that the toilets. Good sized cubicle with shower and basin in each. Also corner rail and hook. Push button shower with unadjustable water temperature.

Pitch

We were pitch 146 which was a good size for our caravan, shadow, son's pop up tent, car and table. Lots of pitches on this site of varying sizes all with high hedges separating each other.

Bear in mind, a train line runs alongside the site (directly behind the pitch we were on). If using this site as a stopover, it shouldn't be a problem as the first train seemed to be around 8am. Might be a bit wearisome if that was your early wake up call every morning of a mainstay holiday. Saying that, neither of the children heard the first train of the day (and we didn't hear many throughout the day).

Food and drink

Bar and restaurant on this site. The menu looked good but we never used it, it did look well used by others though. Free wifi in this area.

Leisure activities

The pool was great, chilly on an overccast day but perfect on a scorcher of a day. One fast single slide and one covered curly tube. Small paddling pool with mushroom water shower. Loungers and chairs around the pool. Well equipped play area, multisports area, volleyball, ping pong tables, football table, football goal. Map of walks and cycles rides direct from the site. I did an easy 5k run from the site down the track immediately outside.

To do in the area

We went to the tourist information in town and got an English map of the town. Tour guide Dad then took us around all the points of interest, there is a lot of history here. We went into the Citadel foyer but didn't do the tour. It 's underground so have jumpers at the ready! Lots of eateries and bars, a lovely French town.

Overview

Great campsite for a few nights or stopover, for this we would definitely use it again. I think the sanitaires let it down but that shouldn't put you off.

 A very well located campsite 10min walk from the Citadelle, and town center. The site has a lovely restaurant reasonably priced, with seating indoor and outdoor, where we had our first nights meal and were tempted each subsequent night, we stayed four nights.

Facilities –centrally located, were excellent though you did have to provide your own toilet paper for the toilets and no seat either. Lovely modern showers, lots of hot water for washing up. Each plot is surrounded by a high hedge offering good privacy, lots of bird song, the services (water etc) were well located around the site.

There were few children there who made use of the play area. The pool had water slides and really looked lovely, failed to trial. Verdun is an amazing place to visit, cited as the Peace City in recognition of the hell it went through during WW1.

The sights within the city give you the joy of peace and the total cost of war. The actual battle sites really gives you the sense of hell of the WW1, Citadelle (a Vauban fort built in 1680, and survived the bombing during the Great War. Very good audio visual tour on a little train which takes you through 2km of the 7Km of tunnels), Fort Vaux, the Ossuary, and many others ending up with the Route Sacre, which runs close to the campsite, the freight line does- never heard it though we watched long freight trains pass many times.

The site is within the town are walkable. We would go back there.

 We visited for 2 nights in August, having stayed here some 10 years ago. The staff are very friendly andspeak english. Pitches are a good size mainly separated by hedges.

The facilities are clean but a little dated, but there were updates underway during our visit.

The pool is large, heated and has a waterslide, some fellow campers informed us their children loved it!

There is a nice bar and restaurant with free wifi in the bar area. Drink prices very reasonable.

It is a 15 minute walk to Verdun centre through the fort, which has is worth a visit, with english tours.

The town is pleasant with some bars and restaurants on therivrr Meuse.

A short drive from the site takes you to a modern Leclerc supermarket complex with fuel. It is by the station.

There is plenty to see and do in the area particularly if you like history, with the Verdun forts and Maginot Line forts to visit.

Good for short or long stay.

The site takes ACSI.

 We have just spent 6 nights at this campsite and were very happy with it. The pitches vary in size and are either separated by neat hedges and in a sunny spot or very shaded by very tall trees. The pitches separated by hedges tend to be smaller.

We were given our pitch numbers by reception and although the pitches were very generous in size, we would have preferred a smaller pitch with more sun, ours got no sun at any time of day because of the tall trees.

I would advise you check the pitch allocated before you accept it. We arrived without reservation and there were plenty of pitches available. However, a British couple who had booked online for one night were charged an extra €10 for the online booking making one night stay quite expensive for the time of year.

The facilities were fine if a little tired. The toilets were unisex and access was from outside. There is a washing machine and drier.

The swimming pool looked good although we didn't use it. Drinks and meals in the restaurant were very reasonably priced and internet was free with a strong signal though only available outside reception.

We will return to this site again. It is in lovely grounds and is very peaceful.

 Convenient 2-night stop on our way to Calais from Germany. Not far from motorway. The pitch allocated was quite good having high, dense hedges on each side for privacy and easily accessed from a very wide road which unfortunately later became a playground for kids with a football. Toilets and showers are very dated and could be cleaner - lots of cobwebs and dust - but water flow from the shower was good with hot water. Free wifi around the reception was useful. We had two nights so that we could visit some of the WW1 sights. Went to the Ossuary at Douaumont, then the American monument and cemetery. All were well worth seeing. Lots more to see and do in the area and that would be our only reason for using this site again, preferably low season when the risk of ball games at 11pm was absent.

 Just returned to UK after 6 weeks of touring France, Belgium and Germany. Spent 11 nights at Camping Les Breuils in very hot weather and must say it was the best site of 10 we visited in the 6 weeks period. Last visited the place in 2003 but until this year was not really aware of just how good it is. May have changed hands betweeen 2003/2014 but no matter, it is class. Easy to walk into spectacular Verdun, great location for exploring many WW1 menorials etc. , and really great for just staying on site for fishing, swimming in the fabulous pool (no extra charge for pool) and dining in the bar/restaurant. The people who own/run the place are helpful, courteous and above all, totally professional. English is spoken but come on; be adventurous, try a little French! They love it and will help where needed. The soccer world cup had started - the England team arrived back in the UK before we did and we left home before the squad! - and the atmosphere in the bar/terrace area with many nationalities represented was a privilege to experience. Showers, toilets, pitches were ideal. I am unable to find anything to complain about (I am a Yorkshireman, we can usually find something that is not to our liking) and I strongly advise discerning campers to use Les Breuils. Free wi-fi with perfect reception, supermarkets/town centre nearby. Paradise; what more do you want?

 This site is well located for walking into Verdun which is quite an attractive town with the river Meuse running through it.

The site caters for about 160 touring pitches which are mostly grass. We arrived during the lunch closure, but a gentleman immediately came out, made us welcome and checked us in.

We had pitch 87 which backed directly onto a small lake and the electricity was reverse polarity. There are two sanitary blocks but one was locked whilst we were there. Our block had separate ladies & gents. The ladies had 6 showers, 6 private washrooms and 5 toilets. The toilets were in an outside area with no seats or paper. They were reasonably clean. My husband and other male campers were not happy that some of their toilets were locked and only 3 were open.

There is a swimming pool with slide which looked nice but we didn’t go in, so can’t comment on the water temperature.

There is a small shop, a bar and restaurant. We ate at the restaurant once and were pleased with the quality and price of the meal.

Wifi is free but only available around reception. We paid 14€ with ACSI plus tax.

Would happily stay again.
