Liked The site is picturesque, well laid out and very well maintained. I'd describe it as minimalist and rustic but in this situation and at the price it's a fantastic place.
Facilities are minimal but perfectly sufficient and very well maintained.

Le petit hêtre FHU grass campsite
Liked Ludovic was a fantastic host and he did everything he could to make our stay as lovely as he could. Small family campsite close to village with bars and supermarket. Toilets and showers were clean and sufficient for 6 pitch campsite. He even brought us a couple of beers as welcoming gift and home grown tomatoes as leaving gift. Brilliant we'll be back

Quiet and relaxing site
Le petit hêtre FHU grass campsite
Liked the tidiness of the site. the friendliness of the owner. The fact that he had left clear instructions upon our arrival as to how to contact him. he soon arrived with a welcome gift . Very acceptable after a long journey. Exceptionally quiet site . Good English spoken.
Disliked the gateway was rather tight for our long caravan. We were very aware that we may hit the post as we pulled out but we did clear. The owner was aware and I think he is making alterations . If you approach sensible and with care there is no problem. We heard three cars on the access road in the whole length of our stay.
