From the manager: Good evening,
Thank you for your comment.
It's true that our showers are a bit rudimentary but we're currently working on installing proper showers.
As for toilet paper, we make some available to our campers. But as with any campsite, it's not compulsory.
A lovely evening.
Best regards.

From the manager: Good morning.
Thank you for your comment.
We had a lot of people on our campsite when you came and indeed when you arrived, the flat pitches were already taken.
As far as the showers are concerned, the hot water is supplied by a gas boiler and you have to wait for the hot water to come back each time.
We've only recently taken over the campsite and we're trying to improve it. The sanitary block is one of our priorities.
Yours faithfully
Corinne from the Camping La Motte team.
Good location and lots of birds but pitches not really maintained well

Liked: Location and wildlife
Disliked: Having to fill water from a sink tap as all water points turned off.
Pitches very sloping side to side.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Good monrning,
Thank you for your comment.
The water points were indeed closed because we had temperatures of -5° and the pipes were frozen. We did however find a solution so that you could have water to drink as well as for your vehicle!
As far as the pitches are concerned, the flat ones were already taken, so yes, you did have a slightly sloping pitch and so you had to put your wedges in.
We look forward to welcoming you back to our campsite.
Have a nice day.
Best Regards
Corinne from the Camping La Motte team.

From the manager: Hello,
Thank you for your comment.
In fact, with temperatures of -5°, the pipes were frozen and we had to close the taps to repair them. Unfortunately, you arrived at our campsite at that precise moment.
Despite this small problem, we hope to welcome you back to our campsite.

Liked: Fabulous, rural setting. A real back to nature site
Disliked: Slightly disappointing, the site could do with a little maintenance (cleaner facilities, loo roll, replace broken bulbs and perhaps mow the grass especially on the pitches)
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Hello,
Thank you for your comment.
As far as mowing the grass on the pitches is concerned, it's not easy to do it in the rain and respect the peace and quiet of the campers.
As for the rest, we have taken note of your comments and will do what is necessary.
We look forward to seeing you again at our campsite.

Liked: Nice spacious pitches, lovely location, easy to check in and out, ability to order pain and croissants the day before which was great!
Disliked: There seemed to be lots of 'rubble' around near the entrance- just looked a little messy.
The shower we used was unfortunately not very good - was more of a spray than a shower, and the cubicle we used just felt very outdated and not clean. I did notice there were other cubicle blocks that looked newer that would probably be nicer! They were just locked when we were there.

Liked: Lots of shade
Disliked: Half the toilet and shower blocks were shut, which is a shame as they looked like the newer block. The showers were like being washed with a power sprinkler.
Our pitch was also given away, so when we returned from a day trip in our van, we came back to someone else parked in our spot. As a result we pitched up in the next available spot. The person working there then came and questioned who we are and why we parked up. It was a bit awkward and not something we've come across before.

From the manager: Hello,
Thank you for your comment.
Regarding your pitch, it is inconvenient, we did not do our job properly and we are sorry.
Regarding the new toilet block, we had some rascals clogging up the toilet with paper and stones, so we had to close it.
Once again, our apologies for this problem.
Have a nice day.
Yours sincerely
The team at Camping La Motte
