Excellent

Nothing

General information :

Alles, de ruime plek op een heerlijk groot grasveld, voldoende schaduw, het zwembad, de rust, het restaurant en de erg vriendelijke eigenaren! Voor onze hond een paradijs!

Geen!

Accommodation review :

We hadden een andere plek aan de rand van een van de grote grasvelden gekozen. Mooi uitzicht op het chateau.

Dat we niet langer konden blijven!

General information :

Excellent sized pitches, the reception was friendly and efficient. The restaurant was very good, quality food at reasonable prices. Pool area very relaxing.

Accommodation review :

Pitch was in Wood area, it was good sized, with electric, water and drainage. We requested sunny pitch and was not let down, sunny area and also shaded areas, spot on.

Probably because early season but grass and hedges on pitch and pathways between pitches and site facilities could have done with trimmings.

General information :

It is a beautiful site with a wide choice of lovely, well sized, private pitches or large open areas. The staff are all extremely helpful and the facilities are second to none. Valerie helped us sort our dogs AHC for our return to UK which made the process really easy. Highly recommend and we will be returning next year.

Accommodation review :

Excellent

No

General information :

Lovely quiet site & fabulous owners who were really accommodating for anything we needed :) Lovely Pool, nice little bar and terrace area

Greater choice of food options in restaurant

Accommodation review :

Lovely pitch

Unfortunately some pitches were out of use due to water logging so we didn’t have much choice of pitch .. although our one was under a large shady tree it was fine

General information :

Calm and quiet

Hard surface on the little lanes to the pitches

Accommodation review :

Good facilities

Rain

General information :

Environment and a lovely friendly team that made us feel really welcome

Toilets further into the woods. A long walk from some pitches

Accommodation review :

No

General information :

schitterende camping

Meer en modernere sanitaire voorzieningen aanbrengen

Accommodation review :

grote plaats met vodoende stroom en water voorziening

Toiletten spoelen erg slecht door en niet voldoende voor zo.n aanrtal plaatsen

General information :

A very warm welcome at this beautifully maintained site. The Dream Team looked after us brilliantly and Valerie was especially kind. Cannot recommend enough and all the people who we met who have been returning year after year cannot be wrong.

Accommodation review :

All we could ask for lovely and private

Noisy French in cabins

General information :

I love being camped in the woods area - quiet, peaceful, green and with electricity, water and drainage - extremely convenient. We enjoyed several walks on the various paths around the site.

Closing at the end of August. We never holiday until September - once France has gone back to work - but you're never open. But my thanks to Valerie for allowing us to stay on the extra night. We would have used the restaurant more, but at the end of the season, they were running the menu down and not all dishes were available.

Accommodation review :

Large pitch, with all the conveniences.

General information :

The staff were just absolutely wonderful - cheerful and helpful and accommodating. There was lots to do and the site is so varied - even the chicken (we called her Chicky) was lovely to sit and watch!

It would be brilliant if there was somewhere to buy snacks through the day, such as chips or sandwiches. We also found that the little footpath going into our pitch (woods 5) was a bit annoying and felt a bit public! But otherwise we had just a wonderful time and are so grateful!

Accommodation review :

Spacious, shady

Lots of brambles, we trimmed a few from the paths! But as expected for this time of year in a woodland pitch!

General information :

The staff were very friendly and helpful, particularly at reception and in the restaurant. The setting was delightful. The food quality was good.

Our pitch (Wood 5) had a path running through it so we frequently had people walking through ... this spoiled our stay. The pathways throught the woods had brambles and acacia which needed cutting back. The acacia (thorns) were particularly dangerous for young children. The outside restaurant area was tired looking and the ground was very dirty and dusty - a refurb would be welcome. On our way out we stopped at the motorhome waste disposal point but found we were unable to empty the WC cassette.

Accommodation review :

Apart from the pathway, the pitch would have otherwise been secluded. The EHU, water and drain were good.

The pathway already mentioned and the area was rather worn down to sand and dirt. Other pitches in the woods (like the one in the picture here) enjoyed a more pleasant grass surface.

General information :

Used as a stop over for 2 nights but genuinely upset we didn't book in for longer... The site is lovely, staff really helpful, and the kids enjoyed the pool and park. We never had time to explore outside the site. We definitely recommend this site to others with or without family

Accommodation review :

Pitch was ideal; electric, water and waste right beside us

General information :

Well spaced out campsite with great bar and restaurant.

Accommodation review :

Electric supply and water ok.

Our pitch included the walkthrough to reception which made privacy not very good.

General information :

Die Stellplätze und das ganze Anwesen sind wunderschön! Auch die sanitären Anlagen sind sauber und ordentlich. Wir kommen hier gerne wieder her.

Die Küche des Restaurants hat uns überhaupt nicht überzeugt. Die Entenbrust war kalt und zehn und die grünen Bohnen waren ebenfalls kalt. Selbst nach der Korrektur war es nicht viel besser. Vermutlich hat man alles nur kurz in eine Mikrowelle gestellt, was das Ganze eher verschlechterte.! Obwohl ich fast alles zurückgehen ließ, musste ich den kompletten Preis bezahlen. Es gab kein Entgegenkommen noch nicht einmal mit einem Nachtisch. Ich kann das Restaurant tatsächlich nicht empfehlen. Schade eigentlich denn alles andere ringsrum ist unglaublich schön!

Accommodation review :

Das ganze Ambiente ist wunderschön. Jeder Stellplatz hat seine Reize.

Für die Stellplätze habe ich keine Verbesserungsvorschläge. Wir waren rund um zufrieden.

General information :

Het is echt een familiecamping met met name engelse en nederlandse gezinnen. Er is veel te doen en het personeel is werkelijk perfect! Voor iets meer rust hebben we voor het tweede jaar in het Bois of Wood gestaan. Iets verder lopen naar de toiletten.

Het zwembad is wel vol en druk. Er zou een kleiner toiletgebouw in Bois of Wood bij kunnen. Dat scheelt lopen.

Accommodation review :

Erg ruim en mooi. Geregeld schaduw

Beetje ver lopen van toiletgebouw

General information :

Plaats in woods gedeelte erg ruim, rustig. Eigen afvoer / water was comfortabel

Sanitair klein, en niet schoon - schimmel kitwerk en vaak defecte bril. Ook tevee viezigheid voor kleine kinderen

Accommodation review :

Topplek, ruim en rustig gelegen - eigen water / afvoer

Veel doorloop van reizigers voor 1 nacht

General information :

Friendly welcome, good sized pitch, access to pool, playgrounds and activities. A real little gem of a place.

Accommodation review :

Good sized pitch, lovely amenities

General information :

The pool and vibe

Lack of crisps flavours in the shops

Accommodation review :

Nice shade

Path and people waking through our pitch

General information :

Conveniently located to the Le Mans racetrack and museum. Le Mans city is definitely worth a visit

Accommodation review :

Everything ready and available (chairs, table, BBQ, etc.)

The campsite is so vast that, depending on your location, you might need to walk a bit to wash dishes, shower, etc.

General information :

De hele sfeer op de camping, aardig behulpzaam personeel

Accommodation review :

Net iets rustiger als op de velden, meer privacy daardoor. Grote mooie plekken in het bos, mooi vlak.

General information :

What a wonderful site! Full of character and charm. Generous size pitches (ours had all services) and loads of space on the site even when full. Showers/toilets always clean and available. Lovely bar terrace area, takeaway pizzas were delicious. Couldn't fault any of the young staff. Always had a smile and very helpful. Well done Les Castels, keep doing what you're doing!

The small shop could be better stocked but large supermarket only 10mins drive.

Accommodation review :

Good size pitch

It rained every day!

General information :

Such a peaceful, well run campsite, we stayed on a pitch in type woods.

Accommodation review :

Peaceful

General information :

Wir haben auf unserer Reise in die Bretagne hier kurz Halt gemacht und übernachtet. Der Campingplatz ist sehr malerisch gelegen und hat schöne Stellplätze.

Die WC‘s waren zum Teil mehrfach verstopft, wohl weil nicht richtig beschildert war, dass kein Papier heruntergespült werden sollte.

Accommodation review :

Sehr grün, viele Bäume, ruhig.

Eventuell weitere Sanitäranlagen in der Nähe?

General information :

Nice site in good location with excellent facilities

Accommodation review :

Pitch was excellent

No

General information :

We stayed here overnight as part of a longer trip to the south of France. The staff were as friendly as we remembered, the site was as lovely as we remembered. A superbly relaxing location.

Accommodation review :

Very spacious pitch with privacy from out neighbours. Easy to drive in and out.

General information :

All of it, great eatery

Accommodation review :

Setting in the woods

No

General information :

Once again, a peaceful stay at our favourite site. Super friendly staff, chilled environment and a great pitch (in the wooded area).

On site restaurant, which we ate in for the first time, had a rude lady who behaved sooo differently to the rest of the folks on site that it sort of ruined our meal.

Accommodation review :

Great size, some good tree cover.

Surface condition (sandy, so a bit unstable).

General information :

Der nette Empfang und die wunderschöne Parkanlage

Herzlichen Dank

Grössere Toiletten-Anlage

Accommodation review :

Grosser, schattiger Platz mit Wasseranschluss

Es war super

General information :

We were back again for an extended Le Mans weekend. This is 4th time we have stayed and we will definitely be back again. This is always the best camping experience I have every year.

Nothing

Accommodation review :

Big site, great power and water facilities. Under the trees and quiet

General information :

Pool was lovely. Site well maintained.

Family shower was cold. The paths from the wooded pitches to facilities have no lights.

Accommodation review :

Nice big private pitch

The paths to get to the main facilities were dark

General information :

Ambiente, Grosszügikeit der Stellplätze, Personal sehr freundlich, sehr schöne Bar/Terrasse, wunderschöne Parkanlage

Restaurant / Geschäft braucht Verbesserung. Sortiment im Geschäft sehr schlecht, Speisekarte sehr basic, könnte sehr viel besser sein! Kein Fahrradverleih.

Accommodation review :

War uns zu einsam, haben zu „Verger 1“ gewechselt!

Mehr Wasserabschlüsse

General information :

Zeer grote standplaats in het bos midden in de rust en de natuur

Jammer dat er geen echt restaurant was. Buiten eten onder het zeil van een tent heeft wel zijn charmes, doch kan je niet echt een restaurant noemen. Eten was wel verzorgd en lekker, doch met beperkte keuze.

Accommodation review :

De rust en ruimte in het Wild gebied.

Wat ver van het sanitair gedeelte.

General information :

The pitches are generous, and the hosts are helpful and friendly. We have stayed several times at this campsite and it never fails to restore us.

Accommodation review :

It was peaceful although a bit of a trek to the toilets. Lovely natural shade.

General information :

First time staying really really like it, going to be my first choice for the future.

The meal on the Sunday, for 28 euro there was simply not enough food. All the food i.e. the roast pig was very nice just not enough.

Accommodation review :

Just a lovely location, in the woods and all service close by.

General information :

Brilliant campsite.. now could never go back to camping at the circuit

getting expensive

Accommodation review :

nice quiet area

not a straight to the toilets

General information :

We only had a brief stay but it was a beautiful site, very clean and everyone was very friendly. We would have loved to stay longer.

Accommodation review :

Spacious and tranquil spot

General information :

Die Rezeption war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit, das Ambiente insgesamt ist außergewöhnlich und der Pool bei Hitze sehr gut.

Die WC und Waschanlagen sind weit unter den angegebenen 4,5 Sternen! Das Wasser bei den Geschirrspülen wird maximal lauwarm, eine vernünftige Reinigung ist damit nicht möglich, am WC gibt es überhaupt nur Kaltwasser, in den Waschräumen dafür keine Seife und keine Möglichkeit zum Abtrocknen. Ein weiteres Ärgernis sind die andauernd bellenden Hunde von einigen Gästen.

Accommodation review :

Die gute Erreichbarkeit von Le Mans

Die Waschräume renovieren und hundefreie Platzzone schaffen, bzw. problematische Hundebesitzer nicht zulassen.

General information :

Beautiful place, great food and a very relaxing place to be.

General information :

All good , staff friendly and helpful

Recycling of rubbish was not found ?

Accommodation review :

Size of pitch good

Could have been better tended too as the grass and bushes were a little long and overgrown in places !

General information :

The surroundings are beautiful, the pool and children's play areas were wonderful for our kids, the pitch was large and convenient for amenities. We loved the bar and sitting out under the canopy playing games with our children. The atmosphere at the bar area was lovely and we met lots of lovely fellow campers. The reception staff we extremely friendly.

We would have scored this campsite so much better but sadly we were very disturbed by noisy neighbours in the cabins. The large group played amplified music through the day which made our pitch not relaxing at all. At night they partied and made so much noise our children were left on years unable to sleep and the owners could not control it at all. On out final night they were partying til 4:30/5am. IT ruined what was an amazing campsite as we were not rested at all. I guess we were unlucky, I hope so for other campers sake as this is a super expensive site and not what you expect.

Accommodation review :

Large, flat, private, very natural and close to amenities

Sadly the noise from the cabins was terrible and made the cost a bitter pill to swallow, had we not prepaid we would have refused to pay for it.

General information :

The spacious campsite and bar and facilities. Very peaceful even during the Le Mans week.

The restaurant could be a bit better but the staff are lovely

Accommodation review :

Green site

Couldn’t find info or place to recycle

General information :

Beautiful grounds gorgeous Chateau. Very dog friendly. Very welcoming. Fab restaurant. Lovely stay. Totally recommend.

Accommodation review :

The view of the Chateau

General information :

Spacious pitch, water close by. Friendly and very helpful staff.. let me change booked pitch to be near amenities..

Nothing to dislike about this site.

Accommodation review :

Changed pitch to just with elec, very near main block

Nothing to dislike

General information :

Atmosphere and vibe was great, and the fact the kids managed to play without using technology. We had a lovely stay

Toilets were often dirty. It feels like that block needs modernisation. Onsite shop was very poorly stocked and rarely open. Even when it was it was very overpriced. Things like, eggs and bacon should be in there. The restaurant situation is odd - doesnt seem to be part of the Chanteloup. Enjoyed the pizzas but the main menu is dated and overpriced. I heard a few people saying they would not go back as the food was poor Kids club isnt what is what like 5 years ago. No only an hour and the activities were poor You DESPERATELY need CCTV at the exit (by the animals) and entrance .

Accommodation review :

The shade when it was hot!

The cockrels making so much noise at 4am! Our pitch was very dusty too

No

Accommodation review :

Secluded, spacious pitches with good shade

General information :

The setting is beautiful and the range of different types of pitches is great. We stayed in the woods which was peaceful. Staff were very friendly and helpful and everything was clean and tidy.

The restaurant wasn’t very good at all. It didn’t match the grandeur of the grounds or the setting. The marquees were old with bad lighting and should have been swept of leaves etc from the roof tops . It needs some form of flooring. We took our dogs and they were covered in sand and bits by the end. When we arrived the three staff were sitting chatting and didn’t acknowledge us. The menu was okay but far too overpriced for the quality of the food and there wasn’t enough choice of drinks. We were there for three nights and the daily menu didn’t change. We were really disappointed

Accommodation review :

The pitches were lovely. Spacious and pretty level. We were in the woods this time and it was cool and shaded with just enough coverage to let some sunshine through. It was great to have water and a drain really close by.

General information :

Great site with all you need to enjoy caravan life. We had great pitches and could not fault the cleanliness and staff availability. Communal BBQ was a hit with everyone, a chance to mingle and chat with other campers. There are different pitches for different needs. Although we brought teenagers you'd not really know as the site is quiet. Were booking again so they must be doing something right.

Not a lot to moan about to be honest. If anything, need to sort out the restaurant and takeaway! Ohh and be sure to bring extra cable, the Electricity hookup can be a distance

Accommodation review :

Beautiful pitches backing on to wooded areas. Clean bright but shaded at times. Just loved it.

As commented before, make sure you have enough cable, some pitches can be a distance from the hookup

General information :

Welcoming and friendly with good balance of peace and activity.

Restaurant ok but no discount for takeaway so frites €4.50 a pop.

Accommodation review :

Nice shade

Falling acorns a bit noisy!

General information :

We loved everything, the BBQ was a lovely free site wide event and we enjoyed wine tasting! A lovely bar and stunning pond side pitch. Excellent.

Accommodation review :

Très bien

General information :

Everything about this campsite is perfect.

Accommodation review :

Beautiful locayion

Too sunny but that was because of ridiculous 40 degree temperatures. Plenty of places to find some shade.

General information :

We loved the site and as a family we all had a lovely time. It was beautiful and we'd love to come again.

The toilets were smelly and dirty quite often. I think they just needed cleaning more regularly. Also the shop on site was very expensive and not very well stocked. A lot of the meat (sausages) were 2 days out of date and still being sold.

Accommodation review :

We were in a lovely shady spot under trees. Plenty of space.

General information :

Price of wine in bar.and shop

6 Euros per glass of House Red was far too expensive, particularly in France. Equally, the shop which was sparsely stocked and very expensive. The theory of price elasticity of demand would suggest that lowering if prices would actually increase sales revenue.

Accommodation review :

Huge pitch

Nothing

General information :

We were so happy to come back to a Castels site after being on the coast. We love the rural, peaceful chateau camping with all its amenities. We haven't commented on the activities as we haven't done any but I am sure there were some.

Nothing

Accommodation review :

Large pitch within the trees, great size fit campervan and still be able to put awning out and play games on the pitch next to us.

No

General information :

I like the family feel to the campsite, lots of inclusive activities. Staff are very helpful. The chateau is a pleasant place to spend time.

Could be more evening activities

Accommodation review :

Good size pitches, quiet at night

Not much shade so got very hot and bright in the morning,. Toilets were quite far from the pitch. Some loud machinery noise from the farm next door early in the morning.
