Client reviews : Castel Camping La Garangeoire

General information :

Our stay was perfect, the accomodation, the pitch always the mist friendly faces and amenities.

Was sad we missed the most excellent Fabrice by one day and couldn’t catch up and attend his excellent archery sessions.

Accommodation review :

It was perfectly sized gift our needs and it was in an excellent location.

The in comfy bed! However that’s possibly my old bones.

General information :

This is our second stay. It’s a great site, very clean, very friendly staff, all the facilities we need and in a nice area of Vendée. We tried the kids clubs and football clubs which the kids enjoyed and allowed us a couple of hours of peace.

Only being able to check in on Saturday’s and Wednesday’s was limiting.

Accommodation review :

Excellent. It was expensive but much nicer than the Eurocamp caravan we stayed in last year. We thought it was worth it and would stay in one again.

They are surrounded by bamboo which is great for privacy but it grows and collapses so quickly we were constantly walking through it to get in and out of the car and the pitch

General information :

Les emplacements spacieux, la propreté, l'entretien des espaces verts, l'espace aquatique, l'environnement, les balades en foret, l'étang et même le caniparc. Les soirées et le restaurant très agréables. La proximité du centre équestre. Les propriétaires très présents et agréables ainsi que tout le personnel.

Accommodation review :

emplacement et sanitaire très propre

l'évacuation des eaux grises est inappropriée pour les camping-car ; diamètre trop petit et trop haut

General information :

The site is lovely, it is well kept. The facilities are cleaned numerous times a day (in comparison to another site we stayed at during the same holiday which was cleaned once every other day!) The environmental considerations they have taken are good. The swimming pool was great and we loved the activities we could do on the site. The lagoon was a great addition, shallow and warm. Children could play and paddle safely.

The location is a little out the way - perfect for the peace and quiet - however to get some food it was a good 20 minutes. And then over half an hour to the nearest town, which isn't a lot, but when you go out every day it does add up. Also, if you are planning on going to Puy du Fou, book 3 days in advance with Reception for a discount, we missed out on this so unfortunately didn't manage to go.

Accommodation review :

I loved that we had the option of hiring a table, BBQ, fridge, chairs, parasol, and washing line. The fridge is kept in a locked storage box which is great for small bikes and scooters and other items, especially when camping. The water tap was next to our pitch which was great, but also no more than 3 pitches away. Pitch was spacious and not overlooked by neighbours, plenty of room for an 8 man tent and vehicle, plus extra space for the table etc

Our pitch didn't have much shade and temps were over 36 at the highest (August 2023), this was the only negative

General information :

Very much enjoyed by our entire group. We were a group of 17 in total, 7 adults and 10 children. Lots of activities for children & teenagers. Staff are super friendly and it’s clear everyone enjoys working there!

Accommodation review :

Outside area was great & appreciated that our mobile home slept our family of 6

General information :

None

Accommodation review :

Spacious and quiet pitch near to facilities

Over hanging tree

General information :

We have stayed at this site many times, both worth our own caravan & now in accommodation. Our sons have spent time here as children and now have returned with us as adults. It is very much a family oriented site and one of the best we have visited & we have travelled all over France.

Accommodation review :

We liked the internal layout of this accommodation, but the best part was the external decked areas, that are private & provide the right mix of sun & shade.

General information :

This was our 2nd visit with our now teenage children. It was a joy to return with our children again and also our dog. The first week was at full capacity but this did not matter as everything is so well organised. I liked that the sun beds were checked sometimes so more people could get a bed instead of towels, beds and toys. A highlight was an evening with a musician who holidays every year and played his music to us in the small bar (acoustic covers) including a song he’d written about La Garangeoire. Our dog had a fab time.

No dislikes but some small suggestions that would enhance this already amazing site. More dog bins (there was only one), safer cycle routes from the site, I wish I’d researched more about things to do outside of the site with our dog (we got too lazy once we were there), more smaller concerts and immersive/cultural experiences such as the painting, French lessons, food tastings etc. I liked that the WiFi was only at the centre-it got me off my phone.

Accommodation review :

The best pitch we’ve ever had (both times). Separated by tall hedges and big enough for caravan, anwning and 2 X 3 birth tents and a badminton set. Plenty shade too.

Again-only suggestions-less of the thorny bush cuttings at the back of the pitch (ouchy on bare feet and doggie paws). We were shaded really well by the trees but the falling acorns were noisy at night when it rained. However, I’d still prefer that for the shade. We really needed it.

General information :

Friendly, large pitches, great food fishing, pedal boats fab - wonderful mapped out walks

Pool too small - lack of lighting / there was none on grass evening entertainment area so sat in the dark. Shop limited things to buy sweets / stuff for kids. Kids arcade could be vastly improved. More for the teenagers, pool area just for them one evening

Accommodation review :

Amazing large pitches, near water, flat best we have ever stayed on
