FAQ

HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE AUTHORISED PER PITCH?

6 people in bare pitches and from 1 to 7 people (depending on the type of accommodation) in rental accommodation. However, in both cases, the number of people may not be exceeded. A baby counts as 1 person. It is compulsory to inform us of the surname, first name and date of birth of each participant at the time of booking.

WHAT ARE THE ARRIVAL AND DEPARTURE TIMES?

- Bare pitches: departures before 12pm and arrivals after 4pm.
- Mobile-home/Chalet/Gîte: arrivals in high season are between 4pm and 8pm. Arrivals in low season are between 4 pm and 7 pm. Departures are between 8 a.m. and 10 a.m.

After checking in at reception, our receptionists will escort you to your pitch.

The departure time must be arranged between 1 and 3 days before your departure.

If you are arriving late, please let us know so that we can organise your arrival as efficiently as possible. We can be contacted 24 hours a day on 02.51.37.29.15.

IS IT POSSIBLE TO CHOOSE MY LOCATION?

When you make your reservation, you will be offered the "choice of pitch" option. There is a charge for this option. You can choose 3 pitches in order of preference. Your pitch number will be confirmed after approval by the campsite, subject to availability.

Mobile homes

WHAT SHOULD YOU BRING WITH YOU WHEN YOU RENT?

Blankets and pillows are provided in all accommodation.

Don't forget to bring: your household linen (tea towels, bath mats), cleaning and washing-up products, towels, sheets, swimming costumes (no swimming shorts) for stays in July and August, table tennis rackets and petanque balls.

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN COMFORT AND PREMIUM?

Whatever the level of comfort, each accommodation meets quality criteria to make your holiday as enjoyable as possible.

Our Comfort rentals are our oldest, over 10 years old. They remain clean and well-maintained, but are less modern and represent our entry-level properties at a smart price.

The Premium apartments are more recent, less than 10 years old, and more modernly decorated. The shower is XXL. This accommodation combines comfort, modernity and quality.

As these properties are particularly popular, we advise you to book your next holiday as soon as possible!

CAN I HAVE AN EXTRA PERSON SLEEP OVER?

For safety reasons, there is a maximum capacity for each type of accommodation. If you are planning to have an extra person staying with you, make sure you rent a property that can accommodate this person and declare the new occupant to the campsite reception so that you can pay the tourist tax and see the various terms and conditions.
