Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews















Great stay, lovely staff and beautiful small site.
Power optional grass and earth campsite
Liked Lovely small site on a beautiful lake. Arrived in our VW crafter, stayed for two nights. We brought our own paddle boards. €9 to use the lake by scanning the QR code on the sign.
Disliked Toilets - unisex, common in France however, urine all over the toilet seat each time I visited the WC.
Would highly recommend having male and female toilets - a simple sign on the doors. I shouldn't have to clean urine from the seat.

Min opplevelse på campingplassen Le Calatrin juli 2025.
Power optional grass and earth campsite
Liked Veldig fornøyd med renholdet i både toalett og dusj-områdene.
Personalet som jobbet der, var vennlige og hjelpsomme.
aller best var innsjøen som ligget like ved campingplassen, der det var en fantastisk fin badestrand der.
Vannet i innsjøen var krystalklart/rent.
Disliked Teltplassen som vi hadde, var bart, uten trær som kunne gi oss litt skygge gjennom dagen der solen var ganske varm.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Hei Mahmod,
Tusen takk for tilbakemeldingen! Vi er glade for at dere satte pris på renholdet på toaletter og dusjer, vår velkomst og den vakre innsjøen med den flotte badestranden.
Vi tar også til oss kommentaren deres om teltplassen og mangelen på skygge. Noen av våre plasser har trær, og vi håper dere kan benytte en slik plass neste gang dere besøker oss.
Vi ser frem til å ønske dere velkommen igjen!
Med vennlig hilsen,

Nice site on a lake
Power optional grass and earth campsite
Liked Location right on the lake
Disliked No swimming but beach 5 min away
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Hello Paul,
Thank you for your feedback.
Indeed, swimming is not allowed directly from the campsite as the lake is private and the rules are set by the Lake Authority. However, we offer our guests free daily access to a private beach located just 5 minutes’ walk from the campsite, which is supervised and equipped for safe swimming.
We’re glad you enjoyed the location right on the lake, and we hope to welcome you again.
Kind regards,
Léonie & Valentin
This campsite is a real gem.…
Power optional grass and earth campsite
Liked This campsite is a real gem. From the moment we arrived, the staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made for a great start to our trip. We were thrilled with our spot, which offered a truly spectacular view of the lake.
What we loved most was the convenience. A beautiful beach and a nice restaurant are just a pleasant 10-minute walk away, which was perfect for grabbing a bite or spending a day by the water. For those who love adventure, the variety of water activities available was a huge plus.
Another major highlight was the quality of the facilities. The sanitary blocks were recently renovated and impeccably clean, which makes such a difference. Best of all, the campsite was very quiet at night, allowing for a peaceful and restful sleep. We would definitely recommend this spot to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable camping experience.
