Camping Le Tedey - Ciela Village Reviews

Ulrich R.July 2021
Advantages
The location of the campsite is great. Super water sports facilities. Good store on site.
Negatives
The cleanliness of the sanitary facilities was poor! The place was very full and at night it was regularly so loud that you felt disturbed in your sleep.
A lot of quality has been lost with the new operator!
With the new operator, Slow Village Lacanau, some things have changed in 2021....
1. the sanitary facilities are only cleaned once a day (2020: 2-3x) - consequently the facilities are not clean... In response to complaints, it was said that there were no people who wanted to do the job and that the site... was very full this year....
2. according to reception information, the campsite was over 90% occupied (2020: 60%)
3. the new operator has replaced some former caravan pitches with permanent houses (TINY HOUSES - do not rent! - too expensive and impractical - friends of ours were very disappointed) and permanent tents, which are now rented out at quite high prices. Many caravan owners, some of whom had been standing on these pitches for decades, had to move to other pitches, so that they became cramped.
4. there are also many more short-term campers - this was not the case in the past
5. there is now a professional surf and boat rental/school. Prices are okay - unfortunately access to the water is blocked by lots of boats and boards
6. otherwise care was taken to ensure that it was quiet from 10 pm... this is no longer the case this year...
7. positive: the pitches on the lake now also have electricity
8. negative: Last year there was a take-away for good pizza, mussels, chips and crêpes - that was practical and cheap - this year there was no longer that... now you can eat in the beach bar... we were not impressed by the quantity and quantity... Prices as usual in the restaurant
9. positive: the beach bar has been renovated and enlarged... you can also eat crêpes there
10. dogs are not allowed. Nevertheless, dogs regularly visited the beach! ???
11. there was no recognizable Corona concept...
Conclusion: It used to be better and the operator should rethink his concept... Many regular guests in particular are disappointed and annoyed

Advantages
Simply everything! Especially the beach, the lake and the playground. Plus the little store!
Negatives
Nothing! I liked everything!
Le Tedey!
The campsite really deserves its stars! Really great! People from all countries mingle here and you can always have a great chat while washing up! The small store offers everything you need and even more! The Pa Jaz tastes best (I don't know how it's spelled... hahaha)

Everything is wonderful
Negatives

Ideal for families
This summer (high season) we traveled to Camping Le Tedey for the first time and were very surprised that such places still exist. A place for campers who don't need water landscapes and entertainment. The CP offers the choice between pitches with or without electricity on sandy ground in the pine forest.... The pitches are a comfortable size for tents or caravans and the car will also fit on them. Le Tedey is a campsite where children can play freely. The campsite has direct access to the lake, which is not far away. It is about 6 km to the sea, where there is plenty of free parking. The wash houses are well maintained, I never found them unclean, even in high season. Only twice in the evening was there no hot shower water available. My conclusion, I look forward to the next time.

Advantages
Peace and seclusion.
Quiet place to relax and for beach vacations.
The site is very large and exceptionally quiet. We were there in the low season; occupancy was rather low. However, towards the end of the season, the supply was already very thin. The pitches are shady under tall pine trees and are quite large. With a caravan or motorhome, you have no problem finding... sufficiently level pitches. Only a relatively small number of the pitches have electricity. From the campsite you can go on wonderful bicycle tours through the extensive pine forests, to the beaches by the ocean and the lakes and to the surrounding villages. This was our second stay after one in 2004. And we will certainly be back again.

Advantages
Suitable for families, lake on site, pitches adapted to the terrain, right balance of shade and sun, relaxed and relaxing
Second family home for over 50 years
Over 50 years ago, the grandfather-in-law came here by chance with the family - Le-Tedey has been part of the family ever since. Someone from the clan is always here. We are now the fourth generation to feel at home here. What makes it so? Well: the relaxed family atmosphere, places that are not standardized... at right angles, the good feeling (and the experience!) that children can move around very freely here, the proximity to the Atlantic and yet the warm shallow fresh water (after a wave romp and bike sweating straight into the lake...), and generally the lake with the beaches suitable for children, the good mix of French, German, English etc. pp, the fact that you always meet people you know from previous years - but always new ones too (no closed circle of permanent campers), that the "party" only takes place at the bar... hach: Simply because it's nice here.

Advantages
beautifully situated and in a natural setting.
Ideal for campers with children up to 10 years and a tent
Still a great natural campsite without a lot of entertainment frills. Even better thanks to the new, tasteful sanitary facilities.

The campsite is great, but unfortunately the sanitary facilities, which were renovated last year, were cleaned very inadequately or not at all during our stay. And this despite repeated complaints. The old facilities were old, but always cleaned well. For such dirty sanitary facilities, I find the pitch costs really very hefty! It's a shame, we've been coming here for about 20 years.

Super nice team at reception, arriving a day early was no problem at all, we were given alternative accommodation for 1 night. The store has everything you need at reasonable prices. Bar a bit overpriced with the ice cream prices. The beaches on the lake are clean and the water is great, even for small... children. Super sailing area. Great entertainment for all ages, the beach volleyball tournaments are cult. Sanitary facilities (especially the toilets) not always very clean, but in my opinion this is due to the clientele. Staff very keen to clean everything quickly. Night's rest no problem, radio silence from midnight. Plenty of shade, pitches large enough. We will be back :-)

The campsite is in an ideal location! You can use the lake as well as go to the nearby Atlantic Ocean. My tip: take good bikes with you, then you can also manage this route by bike. Unfortunately, we only had very old, simple folding bikes with us, which were unsuitable. The sanitary facilities are clean, but very dated. A place that we would definitely put in the group - go there again!

We have been going to this campsite for 12 years. Beautifully situated, very quiet, lots of leisure activities. Excellent for water sports enthusiasts. Very family-friendly for small children but also teenagers. Many regular guests - once you've been here, you'll want to come back!

Camping Le Tedey is a beautifully situated campsite in the middle of a pine forest directly on Lacanau Lake, which is popular with windsurfers, among others. Only about half of the 600 pitches have electricity, but you have to book early for the summer as the site is very popular. The sanitary facilities... are basic, but this does not detract from the charm of the site. It lives from its original, natural character. For example, you don't see many garbage cans and yet there is no garbage lying around, because everyone clears their own rubbish away, even without a rigorous set of rules. There is a nice, simple beach bar that offers everything a vacationer needs in France. There is also a well-stocked newsagent, a supermarket and a pizzeria near the reception. Wi-Fi costs €20 for 2 weeks and works! Mobile homes are also available to rent. The site also offers a special service: the caravans are maneuvered onto or into the pitch with a small tractor! Unfortunately, we only noticed this afterwards ;-)))! Addendum: One of the sanitary blocks has been completely renovated since the 2012 season!

A superbly located campsite with lots of opportunities in the lake and by bike on the Atlantic. Very quiet and the vacation begins immediately upon arrival

The campsite is beautifully situated in a pine forest. All the pitches are in partial shade, so it doesn't get too hot. The scent of the pine trees and the chirping of the cicadas take the stress out of driving as soon as you arrive. You immediately feel like you're on vacation. The site is located directly... on Lac de Lacanau - it was about 50 meters to the beach from our pitch ;-) There are three sandy beaches with gently sloping water - great for children. The Atlantic Ocean is about 4 kilometers away and easy to reach by bike. There are great beaches and gigantic waves here. At least in high season, children are sure to find playmates. We were there for three weeks and our 8-year-old son always had friends to play with. It was great for the kids to whizz around the campsite on their bikes. There is a grocery store on the site with everything a camper needs, and of course a souvenir store with camping equipment, beach toys and inflatable boats etc. There is also a snack bar and a fast food restaurant. There is also a snack bar and a bar serving breakfast and hot meals. Entertainment for children and adults is offered and in the evening there is sometimes live music (but not too long, so that you can sleep in peace). Sports activities include volleyball, mini golf and table tennis, and of course there is a children's playground. There is also a bike rental service on site. Only the sanitary facilities could be a little better. Some of them still have the traditional French stand-up toilets, which of course were not so popular. As a result, there were sometimes short waiting times for the "normal" toilets during rush hour. However, the showers and wash cubicles are good. Not quite as chic in terms of design, but everything is cleaned very thoroughly twice a day. The pitches without electricity seemed a little bigger than the others and, in our opinion, are located in the nicer part of the site. So if you want a real camping feeling, you should do without electricity and choose a pitch like this. Overall, the site is a dream for families. I've just gone into raptures again and would love to go back this year. However - and here comes the only real disadvantage - it is very far;-( So you should have enough time to make the long drive worthwhile. Unfortunately, we don't have that time this year.
