Locations
6 people in a pitch and from 1 to 7 people (depending on the type of accommodation) in a rental. However, in both cases, the number of people may not be exceeded for safety reasons. A baby counts as 1 person. It is compulsory to provide us with the surname, first name and date of birth of each participant when booking.
- Bare pitches: departures before 12pm and arrivals after 4pm.
- Mobile-home/Chalet/Gîte: arrivals in high season are between 4pm and 7pm. Arrivals in low season are between 3 pm and 6 pm. Departures are between 8 a.m. and 10 a.m.
After checking in at reception, our receptionists will show you the way to your pitch.
The departure time must be arranged between 1 and 3 days before your departure.
In the event of late arrival, please let us know so that we can organise your arrival as efficiently as possible. We can be contacted on 02.51.37.29.15.
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
Blankets and pillows are provided in all accommodation (tourist rentals only - ask us about business or long-term stays).
Don't forget to bring: your household linen (tea towels, sheets), cleaning and washing-up products, towels, bathmats and swimming costume (no swimming shorts) for July-August stays. Don't forget your table tennis rackets and petanque balls for tournaments (if not, don't worry, we'll lend you some).
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 and Privilège apartments are more recent, less than 10 years old, and more modernly decorated. The shower is XXL. These accommodations combine comfort, modernity and quality.
As these properties are particularly popular, we advise you to book your next holiday as soon as possible!
For safety reasons, there is a maximum capacity for each rental, depending on the model. 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 corresponding overnight stay as well as the tourist tax and see the various terms and conditions.
For safety reasons, it is not permitted to pitch a tent or any other equipment on a rental pitch.
Activities & entertainment
We accept payment by holiday vouchers (please do not detach the stubs if you send them by post). The name and contact details of the holder must be indicated on each cheque. We also accept payment by I-connect ANCV.
The Mini Ferme, play areas, petanque pitch, table tennis tables and fitness area are open all year round.
In July and August, the campsite offers a heated pool area, a games area with inflatables, trampolines, a pedal go-kart track, a home ball, an XXL chessboard, play areas and a city stadium. A schedule of activities will be sent to you a week before your arrival, and you can sign up at the welcome drink. Our team remains at your disposal for any information or registration.
Activities are an integral part of your stay, so they are free and subject to registration. Only the pony rides and lotto cards are chargeable.
Services
In order to continually improve our services, we will give you a questionnaire on your departure to assess your satisfaction and collect your comments after your stay. A review on platforms such as Google and TripAdvisor is also very welcome, as it helps to keep independent campsites like ours alive. A complaints booklet is also available at reception.
Pets (cats and dogs) are not allowed in the accommodation.
Cats and dogs are accepted when renting a bare pitch, with the exception of dogs in categories 1 and 2 and NACs (new pets). They must be tattooed, have up to date vaccinations and carry an up-to-date health record. Under no circumstances may they be left alone on the pitch in the absence of their master, and they must be kept on a lead at all times. Only one pet is allowed per pitch at an additional cost.
You can connect from your pitch to the wireless network. WIFI is available throughout the campsite. On your arrival, we will offer you 1 connection per device and per accommodation, adapted to the duration of your holiday. Additional connections are subject to a charge (€5 per week per device).
A computer with WIFI connection is available free of charge at reception.
You may park one vehicle per pitch. The second vehicle can be parked in the outside car park.
We offer baby equipment: cot, high chair and bath. This baby kit is €20 per week for the whole set or €10 per unit. (Reservations recommended - limited stock).
A sanitary block is equipped with a changing table and a bathtub.
Highchairs are available at the bar and children's carts are available for bikes hired on site.
The entire campsite team is aware of the needs of people with disabilities.
Every effort is made to enable disabled people to move around as independently as possible, to access premises and facilities, to use equipment and services, and to find their way around and communicate.
Our PRM mobile home is equipped with an access ramp and has a layout specifically adapted to accommodate people with reduced mobility.
A wheelchair and a remote control with large buttons are available on request from reception.

The foot bath in the pool area is wheelchair accessible.
For information on sites accessible to people with reduced mobility, you can contact the reception team, who will provide you with information and help you with your bookings.
Wristbands are compulsory for all customers in July and August. This means that entry to the site and access to the water park are controlled.
The entrance to the campsite is secured by an automatic barrier. Access is by badge, which is issued on arrival. The campsite is accessible by car from 7.30am to 10.30pm. If you arrive after the gates have closed, please park your vehicle in the campsite visitor car park and walk to your pitch.
The campsite is guarded 24 hours a day, all year round. A manager is available 24 hours a day on site or on the emergency number given on your map on arrival or on the reception door. The campsite is also equipped with a video surveillance system.
Camping l'Ambois is committed to an ecological approach and would like to share with you its desire to preserve the natural environment surrounding the campsite. We will therefore provide you with the necessary instructions and sorting bags to make it easier for you to recycle your waste. At the entrance to the campsite, the sorting columns (glass, cardboard, all waste) will guide you in the distribution. A compost bin is available at several points of passage, where you can empty your bioseau (available in each accommodation).
Our establishment is part of an environmental initiative that has been awarded the Clé Verte label.

Aquatic area
The aquatic centre is open from 1 July to 31 August. The team can open as early as May (for bank holidays) and as late as September, depending on the weather. Don't forget to ask at reception when booking your stay (in mid-season) whether the pools are open or not. The area is not supervised. Parents or accompanying adults are entirely responsible for their children's swimming.
The wristband given to you on arrival will give you free access to the pool area.
The swimming pools are reserved for our customers only. For safety reasons, visitors are not allowed in the pool area.
Swimming costumes only (no shorts). Special swimming pool nappies, also known as «disposable swimming costumes», are compulsory for the youngest children. Large buoys are not permitted, to avoid obstructing access for other holidaymakers.

You can make your reservation directly online by clicking on the «I reserve» tab. You then indicate your accommodation type, the dates of your stay and your contact details before paying the deposit. You can also book by telephone by calling 02.51.37.29.15, or by sending an e-mail (contact@campingambois.com), giving your contact details, the type of accommodation and the dates of your stay. Once we have received your request and checked availability, we will send you the booking contract. This must be returned completed, dated and signed, together with the deposit, in order to make the booking definitive.
The balance must be paid 30 days before your arrival for all bookings of camping accommodation and no later than the day of your arrival for bookings of bare pitches. For bookings made less than 30 days before arrival, the full balance will be required. You will receive confirmation from the campsite by e-mail or post.
A cheque or bank transfer for €200 per rental unit must be handed in at reception on the day of your arrival. It will be returned the week after your departure, after our team has checked out the accommodation and if it has been cleaned and no damage has been found.
Bare pitch bookings are possible from 1 night, whatever the day of arrival. Bookings for mobile homes, chalets or gîtes are possible from 2 nights upwards. In July and August, bookings are made on a weekly basis (however, depending on the calendar and availability, we reserve the right to offer short stays of at least 2 nights).

Bookings can only be changed on receipt of written notification from the customer (letter or e-mail) and subject to availability and the written agreement of the Campsite.
You are offered cancellation and interruption insurance: this represents 3% of the cost of your stay (excluding booking fees and tourist tax) with a minimum charge of €20. In the event of cancellation or interruption for a reason covered by the insurance, this will enable you to obtain partial or total reimbursement of your stay, in accordance with the conditions set out in the contract. The insurance must be taken out at the time of booking; we will not be able to add it afterwards. The full terms and conditions of cancellation are available on request or can be viewed online at www.campez-couvert.com or on the campsite website.
No refund will be made without taking out this insurance. In the event of cancellation (excluding insurance), the conditions are set out in the General Terms and Conditions on the rental contract.
