The pitch
Electrical hookup available (10A), euro plug required. Terrain is flat. Motorhomes accepted up to 8m, large caravans accepted. Pitch connections: water, sewer. Camper waste disposal on site. Pitches are well shaded. Pitches are marked. Paths lit at night.
Pitches vary noticeably in suitability and space. Several visitors describe adequate roominess across the site, though others find certain pitches cramped, particularly for larger vehicles like motorhomes. The adequate band reflects this mixed experience—you'll likely find acceptable space, but pitch selection matters, especially if you're arriving with a larger rig.
The location
Supermarket in the area. Restaurant within 100m. Well suited for: sports. Certifications and labels: 5 stars. Reception languages: English, German, French, Spanish, Dutch. Guests describe the campsite as situated along a river; Access road is unpaved (gravel or dirt track); Sea access via a dedicated footpath.
The campsite benefits from a seafront or very close location, with public comments across multiple languages confirming proximity to the beach and attractive seaside setting. However, one comment notes the beach is a fair distance on foot, suggesting the walk may not suit all guests. Overall, sea access is convenient for most visitors, though the exact path experience varies.
The on-site shop stocks essentials at reasonable prices and covers basic camping needs adequately. A larger supermarket is accessible by car within 10 minutes for those seeking a broader range of goods, making the modest on-site facility sufficient for most short stays.
Rental units & mobile homes
Cleanliness is inconsistent—some mobile homes and bungalows are reported as very clean, while others arrive uncleaned with missing essentials like sheets, towels, and furniture. A recurring issue is odour problems in bathrooms, mentioned across multiple units. Furnishings and general condition vary noticeably, with some accommodation described as dated and poorly maintained, which aligns with the adequate band.
Also worth knowing
The campsite provides basic waste-separation infrastructure with multiple recycling containers for bottles, general waste, and designated recycling bins. However, public comments offer limited detail on broader sustainability practices such as water conservation, energy efficiency, or environmental stewardship beyond waste management, which aligns with the adequate score.
