Pozitivno
- super pool area - very friendly staff
Negativno
- not suitable for German-speaking children (everyone else speaks French or Dutch) - Sanitary facilities leave something to be desired
Beautiful place in a beautiful area!
Four of us (2 children: 7 and 5) spent a week at the campsite in our caravan. We first had a pitch in the middle on one level, but were able to move to the edge of a stream. The staff were very helpful and super friendly. They were well prepared for the arrival of so many guests and check in was very... efficient. A large playground by reception made waiting more enjoyable for the children. The site is laid out in terraces. To get from one place to another, a small train runs throughout the day in high season. This is very popular. The area is great and there is so much to do. The campsite provides the equipment with tips for excursions and also gives advice. Unfortunately, canoeing and canyoning are only possible from the age of 7. The children's club is very well done, but the staff seem unmotivated and simply give the children pencils and a box of Legos. There is no plan for what they want to do with the children. They don't speak German. The predominant language spoken by staff and guests is Dutch. The pool is super clean. Even in the afternoon, the water is clear, fresh and wonderful. The slides are an absolute dream for children. The sanitary facilities are clean, but very old. There is also no soap and the taps only have boiling hot water. The restaurant is well frequented and the staff are friendly and competent. The food tastes very good. Unfortunately, we couldn't try the crêperie because although it should be open, it was closed. The mini golf course is not recommended. 1. you have to queue for a long time for the clubs (if you get any) and then the courses are so uneven that all aiming is useless. WIFI is available (for a fee), but can only be used at certain points on the campsite. To summarize: The campsite is great for exploring the Ardèche region. You can be at the Ardèche in half an hour and can enjoy the area. However, we won't be going back, mainly because of the mix of guests.

Pozitivno
You can reach the Ardéche in about 30 minutes
Negativno
This area is not suitable for wheelchair users.
Vacation fun for all ages
Terraced and level terrain. Terraced in the upper area. Large pitches overall. Great view from the terraced pitches to the opposite mountain ranges and the village of Mirabelle. New grocery store, restaurant and bakery partly in the middle of the site. Great adventure pool (over 600 square meters) for... all ages. Towing assistance if required. Soundproof discotheque on site. Good, skillful animation. Childcare available. Upscale, partly spacious sanitary facilities. A recommendable campsite in a quiet location. Good excursion possibilities. The Ardéche is approx. 25 km away.

Pozitivno
the beautiful location
Negativno
the closed facilities, the lack of staff and the unkempt grounds
Miserable
Visit on 22.5. - supposedly the site has been open since April. The reception is closed in front of me - but the barrier opens. Then up and down (relatively steep) through the huge site. A few tents and caravans - mainly NL - not a single motorhome. Restaurant closed, store closed. The whole thing looks... like a ghost town and the site makes a very unkempt impression. I would like to fully endorse the negative reviews. After it was not possible for us to find anyone from the site staff, we left the site after visiting a sanitary building and looked for another place to stay. MfG camperfriend

We booked a week at the campsite with two children aged 14 and 16 in a mobile home at the end of August/beginning of September. It is a huge site which, according to our calculations, accommodates around 3500 people at 80% occupancy. Fortunately, we were there in the off-season. The management is attentive... and friendly, e.g. an unusable frying pan on which the coating came off was replaced by the staff within 10 minutes after a phone call. The site is terraced and has very steep slopes. The walk to reception from our pitch took 30 minutes there and back, which is why many visitors also use their cars within the site. The location, landscape and possible leisure activities are great and the internal adventure pool is a highlight for kids. Less good is the landscaping of the site (there is none) and the roads. Shopping facilities are almost non-existent on the site, which surprised us considering its size. (Bakery was open in the morning; supermarket, which is not a supermarket, was closed in the low season although it was announced as open). Consequence: drive to the next town for every little thing. The situation is similar with the internal gastronomy. Negative highlight: Permanent disturbance of the peace at night by the Dutch (animation) staff in all possible variations. They were accommodated about 50 meters from us in house tents and practiced partying. The highlight was from Thursday to Friday night, when the situation turned into coercion (my daughter got anxiety attacks in this situation) and I fled the site with my family at around 01:30 and started my journey home (one day early). The emergency number of the CP (24h) was not manned; the attempted appeasement only caused aggression among the party guests. The deposit was refunded to us immediately after an email, but I am still waiting for an apology from the management. We will never see this establishment again, which is a shame.

This is the first time we have been here with a caravan, having rented a mobile home three years previously. We fetch water in watering cans from the sanitary building 200 meters away. The electricity distributor is about 35 meters away, the cables are just enough. The pitch itself doesn't look well... kept. Pitch size is ok. You can move around the site by car from 7am to 11pm. Location: Mostly terraced but also pitches in the "valley". Long distances to the water park in places. Sanitary: The sanitary building looks reasonably clean but smells strongly of drainage. Toilet paper is on a central roll, so you have to take enough with you. There are no toilet seats. Entertainment: The entertainment is in Dutch, which is not a problem with the well-made musicals or children's shows. There are daily events on offer, from caving (32 euros) to canoeing and hiking (2 euros). The events booked on site always have their own entertainer. The entertainers are very friendly. Catering on site: A store with a limited selection. We usually go to the "Intermarche" in the village, which is quite well stocked. Water park with large bathing area: Four different "big" slides which are a lot of fun, sometimes you have to queue a bit. A tube ring for sliding must be purchased on site for 15 euros. The price and quality are okay. There is a 25 meter pool, a bathing paradise for the little ones with a pirate ship and other pools with slides. The pools are not heated. There is a bar, a store and refreshments (sandwiches, pizza) for sale in a central location. Restaurants: There are various. There are various restaurants on the extensive site, not all of which are always open. The prices for food and drink are average. (Beer 0.5 liters = 4.40 euros; red wine 1 liter 9 euros) Excursions: Most excursion destinations such as canoeing, cave visits or the "Pont de Arc" are 20 to 45 minutes away. A more central location would be desirable.

Superb swimming pool, ideal for families with children of all ages. Our pitch was in the upper area, so we had a great view over the valley. Sanitary facilities very clean but unfortunately no toilet seats. Shopping on the site is not so great. Too little choice etc. Bread rolls are ok. The restaurant... was very good. Partly but a bit expensive. All in all, we liked it here very much. If you want to make a stop on the way to the Mediterranean, this is the right place. That's what we did. For longer than a few days vacation the location would be too remote for us.

We stayed at the campsite for 4 days in August. At first the lady at reception only wanted to take us for a whole week, but after a few discussions and me saying that we would just drive on, it worked out. We had to pay immediately and in cash. The site is on a slope, which means that the access to the... pitches is sometimes very steep. We had a pitch at the bottom, on the edge of the site. It was nice and flat and large. The sanitary facilities were basic, but reasonably clean despite the large number of people. The swimming pool is a real hit. Lots of slides and pools for splashing around and swimming. Lots of supervisory staff. You're not allowed in the water in shorts, for whatever reason. The landscaping on the site is not so much of a hit. There are also many corners that look a bit unkempt. There is also a supermarket on the square where you can buy all the things you need. There are a lot of products from Holland here. The entertainment and staff are also fully geared towards the Dutch. I had the feeling that half of Holland was on vacation at the campsite. So my conclusion is that if you like Dutch people and slides, this is the place for you. Of course, it's not cheap in the high season.

We booked a pitch. About the campsite: Sanitary facilities: good, but unfortunately standard temperature in the dishwashing and washing cubicles. Toilets: no toilet seats but clean. Showers: clean and technically okay. WIFI available everywhere for a fee. Pitches: very large and shady in the lower CP... area, rather sunny in the higher areas. Bakers: small selection, very mediocre quality. Predominantly Dutch. Mostly Dutch guests (>90%). Site is relatively quiet after 23.00 hrs.

This campsite can get 2 stars with a little goodwill. The campsite is a closed party, which means that everything is in Dutch and no other languages. The sanitary conditions are under all criticism there is no soap in the toilets no toilet paper and they are always very dirty. They are cleaned once or... twice a day but this is obviously not enough. When you ask the staff you are told that they do not like Danes? All animation and entertainment is in Dutch and no other languages. Strangest experience was when a French man was ordering pizza and no one understood him. I would advise anyone who does not speak Dutch to stay away from this place as you do not feel welcome and are left to themselves, we have been camping in Croatia and Italy for many years where our children have been very happy with the animation program but here it has been impossible for them to participate in anything. The waterfront on the site pulls it up to 2 stars but you can not live on this for 14 days. If we had not paid in advance we would have moved on to one of the other delicious places with 5 stars along the ardeche river.

We spent 12 days with the children at Le Pommier during the Whitsun vacation. The main reason we went there was because of the children. When they saw the slides in the brochure, other places were no longer an option. The pool complex really does have amazing slides and if you like that, you're in good... hands there. The large pool was also pleasantly heated, which strangely enough could not be said of the children's pools. Another positive aspect is that there is Wi-Fi with good internet reception across the entire campsite, free of charge. In the low season ADAC-Card is accepted. We paid 16,--€. Unfortunately, that was all on the positive side. It is a huge pitch which slopes down in terraces. What bothered us most was that there was no landscaping, not even the tall weeds (there was no grass) were mowed anywhere. In some places behind the sanitary buildings, the site could even be described as dirty. The trees on the access roads were not cut, so that you inevitably had to collide with branches (Wowa + Womo). The roads are so bad that, for example, you hit the road at the campsite exit due to the huge potholes. The sanitary building is very basic, washing up and showers in one room. Toilet paper has to be pulled out in front of the toilet. Unfortunately the roll was usually empty. The toilet bowls were always spotlessly clean, but the dirt and garbage next to the bowl was never cleared away. When it rains, the paths to the sanitary building are muddy. Everything (except the pool area) is in a structurally poor condition. It took 5 minutes to fill an ordinary watering can at the water point because hardly any water came out. The drain at the water point swallowed little or no water, so that the dirty broth flowed into the pampas. This place could be so beautiful with more effort, but again the children really liked the slides and adults were mostly bothered by the unkempt grounds/pitches. However, the pitches are very well sized.

We really enjoyed our stay at the campground. Nice and friendly atmosphere. We met many Poles. Prices in the convenience store from space. Very expensive drinks , but in the nearby market you could shop at affordable prices. Sanitary facilities clean. Entrance to the campground a little scary for lowlanders, but you can get used to it and now we consider it a holiday attraction.

Beautifully situated campsite with shady pitches. Although the place was quite empty, reservation costs were due. During the day construction noise due to new swimming pool construction.
