Suited to motorhomes for a limited number of nights while travelling
Powered grass and gravel campsite
Liked Good location to access the lake. Pool is good for toddlers & clean.
Disliked Poor pitches for tents - all on hills of around 8-10% gradient and gravel. Site is under construction - with early starts and late finishes. Confusion with pitch allocation. Had a very poor experience with the ‘restaurant’ 40 minutes before someone acknowledged us & then it took 2 hours for 2 pizzas & 2 drinks on a Wednesday!? Drinks orders were wrong and we were charged for the more expensive options - very disorganised ordering system & staff were flappy and dismissive. Staff were not able to cope in what they claim, and know, to be ‘peak season’ (the site was probably half full). Half expected us to be caught by Gordon Ramsey filming Hell’s Kitchen!! Toilet blocks only cleaned first thing in a morning and water is cold by mid day. Generally dirty camping areas - previous occupant had left cigarette butts on our pitch. Booked an electric pitch, were offered one with out electric… went on a walk round the site with a one year old to try and find a free spot - found one. 1/6 of the electric ports worked & we woke up one morning to our fridge being off. Noisy campsite with late night noise from a huge party that arrived - 8/9 pitches including family tents, boats on the backs of additional cars & their own gazebo of around 25ft in length!

So close to being a great site!
Powered grass and gravel campsite
Liked Great location, right next to a big lake with a beach and boat hire.
Disliked We were greeted at reception by someone saying that our caravan was too long and that we wouldn't be able to stay. Pitch up states no twin axles however our caravan is a single axle. In the end they let us go on a pitch and we managed to fit the caravan on it. Secondly, as another reviewers points out, there are no dedicated water points. This is really weird. However the pitch was nice, the swimming pool great and generally enjoyed the stop over!

The Lake…

Liked The Lake
Disliked On arrival, I was told I had to pay a €90 cash deposit. I never carry cash and asked to pay by card—refused. I explained again I didn’t have cash, so he demanded my driving licence instead. It was buried in the boot under all our luggage and bikes, and when I said it would take a while to get to, his arrogant response was, “You’ve got all day.” Unbelievable attitude.
A member of our group had to deal with him because I refused to waste any more time. The furniture in the caravan was filthy, marked, and ripped. Overall, a terrible first impression and an even worse welcome.

Powered grass and gravel campsite
Liked Camping familial et convivial . Nous avons apprécié notre séjour, en tente. Gérants du restaurant sympathique. Personnel serviable .Nous y avons tres bien mangé .Piscine et sanitaires propres. Le camping est proche du lac .Nous y retournerons avec plaisir.
Disliked Nous avions demandé un emplacement avec prise de courant. Il y avait deux prises prévues pour les deux emplacements tentes mais nous étions 3 familles à s’ y brancher. En effet, les propriétaires d’ un camping car situé a proximité y ont branché une rallonge en permanence .

Basique
Powered grass and gravel campsite
Liked La localisation près du lac Du Der avec plage à proximité.
Disliked On s'attendait au même style de camping que l'île des 3 rois où on a séjourné quelques jours avant car ça fait partie du même groupe Flower Campings mais il ne ressemble pas vraiment.
Il y a beaucoup d'endroits dans le camping qui semblent abandonnés.
Les allées sont en mauvais état, en gravier et très caillouteux, très difficile par endroit pour passer avec une poussette et ma grande n'a pas su non plus faire de la trotinette dans le camping.
La piscine est bien mais il y a beaucoup de transats cassés.
Nous n'avons pas reçu beaucoup d'information de l'accueil par rapport à où on peut remplir notre réservoir d'eau propre, nous avons cherché en promenant dans le camping et la seule station qu'on a trouvé ne semblait pas fonctionner, en plus il y avait une tente qui était placé à moitié sur l'endroit où on devait se mettre pour charger.
On n'a pas testé le restaurant, on a eu peut être tort mais on ne l'a pas trouvé très accueillant, il y avait une pancarte à l'entrée qui refroidissant les gens (en tout cas nous on a été un peu contrariés - la pancarte disait que le restaurant n'est pas la réception et qu'il ne donne et ne prête rien etc). Nous avons juste prix 2 cafés et un jus et on a eu l'impression qu'on dérange la vendeuse qui était dans les papiers donc on n'est plus retourné et on n'a pas prolongé notre séjour comme on voulait le faire à la base.
Plaine de jeux trop petite pour occuper un enfant.
