Liked We had a good welcome at this site, in fact the manager went to great lengths to help us when we were in need of a replacement tyre for our caravan, researching where we could pick one up as we left the site.
Unfortunately the weather was poor for the 2 days we were here, so we didn’t get to use the pool or other outdoor facilities. The toilet/shower block was good, clean, well equipped.
The town of Chateau le bonnet was within a ten minute walk, it had lots of old, quaint buildings, shops, a bar and great viewpoint from the church at the top of the hill.
We drove out to explore the Loire valley from the site- half an hour drive to many lovely places, Chalmes and Bas en Basset.

Disliked The electricity kept tripping out, we were told it was because of the 6 amp connection. We had no problems on other similar sites, though.

From the manager: Thank you for your review. It was very unfortunate about the tyre , glad we could be of help. Hopefully you will visit us again and you will get to enjoy the pool and our terrace:).

Have a wonderful summer.

Kind regards,
Ronald and Ellen

Liked Super accueil, on nous avait prévu des emplacements regroupés.
Camping très bien tenu et très propre. Belle piscine.

Disliked C'est vrai que du papier dans les WC serait un plus........

From the manager: Bonsoir,

Merci pour votre commentaire. Je suis heureux que vous et votre famille ayez passé un si bon moment.
Je comprends votre réaction concernant le papier hygiénique, mais après une phase de test, nous avons malheureusement dû décider de ne pas en mettre, compte tenu du désordre créé sur les sols et des blocages dus au fait que les gens utilisaient (et emportaient) beaucoup plus de papier.

Bien cordialement,
Ronald et Ellen

Liked The staff (Linda and Rolland) were extremely helpful and friendly. We had a flat tyre and Rolland made arrangements on our behalf to get the tyre fixed by a local garage at a reasonable price. The site has plenty of green spaces and is evolving into a very family friendly site, where dogs are welcome too. The facilities are modern and the site is clean and well kept. The surrounding area and village seems to have a lot to offer and there was a market when we were there in the town centre and it is vibrant. Linda is a lovely host, was a very good listener and was fun to chat with.

Disliked Nothing really however, you need to be aware to bring your own toilet paper, and the electric hook up on site uses the French 2 pin connection rather than the Blue Euro connector commonly used in the UK & Ireland, so bring a conversion plug.

From the manager: Thank you for your review. Glad we could be of help. Hopefully during the Summer holidays lots of families find their way to our camp site.

From the manager: Good morning,

Thank you very much for your review. We are always doing our utmost to ensure our guests have a lovley stay and by the looks of it you have:).
Sorry about the soap, we will have to check more frequently.

Enjoy the rest of your holiday.

Kind regards,
Ronald and Ellen

Liked What a gem of a find!! Ellen & Ronald are so friendly and helpful. Arrival was easy especially since Ellen speaks several languages - Dutch, French & English to begin with. The site looks well and the amenities are clean and in working order (as in most places in France don’t forget to take your own toilet roll). The area is stunning with a little village just above the campsite and a SuperU just down the road. We missed the market but we’re told by another couple it was really good - lots of leather wear. So if you are looking for a quiet little retreat this is the one! Enjoy.

Liked A great little campsite, super friendly and helpful site owners, toilets and showers have just been updated and are clean, bright and spacious.
Touring pitches are a good size, plenty of space to sit and relax.
With its beautiful backdrop of Saint-Bonnet-le-Château, and surrounding fields, fishing lake and plenty of great dog walks, it the perfect place to stay for a while.

Disliked Nothing

Liked The friendliness and helpfulness of the owners. They work so hard to ensure your stay is a positive experience. Their own app is really useful for all things on the campsite and visiting the surroundings. They have a good activity programme daily which you could opt in or out of. The facilities were immaculate - showers & toilets kept clean constantly.
The swimming pool provided a refreshing and much needed in the 32 degree heat and the setting was just stunning! 😍 The owners are relatively new and it was clear to see they are working hard to make improvements and satisfy campers visiting.

Disliked Our pitch was a bit rough but we accepted this as a last minute booking on a busy weekend. The owners did explain this upfront and explained they were in the process of enhancing the site.

From the manager: Thank you very much for your kind words. We are going to improve some more pitches as soon as the campsite is closed for the season. Kind regards, Ronald and Ellen

Liked This campsite sits in a stunning location at the foot of the hill top town of St-Bonnet-Le-Chateau. It is a perfect little site with lovely bar, pool & boules area. The facilities are clean and modern. The owners are super friendly and were very helpful when we had a medical emergency. The area is beautiful with lots to see and do. We would love to come back to spend more time exploring the area.

From the manager: Thank you Helen and Duncan, glad we could be of help. Good to hear you enjoyed your stay despite your accident. Hope you will come back to explore the area.

Liked Large pitches, very friendly helpful hosts, clean facilities, swimming pool, proximity to village of Saint Bonnet le Château
