Client reviews : GRAND CONFORT PITCH with Electricity: 16A + Water + Drainage – 2 pers –

General information :

Fabulous site with a good balance of activities, spacious pitches, nice bar and restaurant, and great pool area. We liked the sunbed music idea at busy times to shake out the sunbed hoggers! Great idea to have specific kids club activities like football etc, rather than just a generic kids club.

Having stayed at other sites, tennis was expensive at €8.50 an hour usually €5 or free with booking, so we missed out on tennis. The snack bar is good, but 2 portions of grand frites €8, didn't even fill a small bowl of ours, massively overpriced or you need a bigger measure! Not sure you need a deposit for the pedalos, other sites don't.

Accommodation review :

Excellent Pitch Size and water/drainage and electric worked well.

General information :

Clean facilities, friendly staff, great restaurant and good take away too.

Lots of pigeons that leave a mess on car/ caravan/ awnings. Fishing lakes need overgrown bushes/ brambles trimming back and fish in lake one need feeding. (Caught many fish but they were all under weight, regular feeding would benefit the fish and encourage more anglers.

Accommodation review :

Good size, good facilities.

Pigeons and the grass had mostly gone, when it rained the pitch was mud.

General information :

A great variety of activities Excellent restaurant Very friendly and helpful staff A genuine family atmosphere

Toilet/shower blocks need refurbishing More signs and perhaps speed bumps to stop cars going too fast

Accommodation review :

Very good size pitches

Some very uneven dangerous ground on pitch

General information :

We loved our stay at our new site, it was a beautiful site, very friendly and welcoming staff. Lots to join in with, loved the walks around the estate. So pleased our stay was while the 60th celebrations took place as this was an incredible evening.

The corner on the entrance , turning into the accommodation is a little tight and not well sighted. Maybe more speed ramps as some cars travel far to fast with lots of children around. The shower block near our pitch maybe needs a little updating

Accommodation review :

Our pitch was just what we asked for a large sunny pitch so we were pleased

General information :

This was the first time we've stayed in one spot for more than 7-10 nights. We could have stayed another 3 weeks easily! Really enjoyed the 60th Birthday meal celebration on the lawn and the Discovery Walk of La Garangeoire with Anne. If you've never done it, please do as you'll get a newfound appreciation for everything that's special about La Garangeoire.

Accommodation review :

Great sized pitch with plenty of good shade (possibly slightly too much shade!)

General information :

The campsite itself is very clean and suitable for all ages with plenty to do during your stay. The staff and service was great and everybody is friendly. We ate at the restaurant on a number of occasions and was impressed with the food and service we received, particular thanks to Michael who couldn’t do any more to make our visit any better, also thanks to Kyle.

During our stay, we had a cooked chicken from the takeaway, this chicken was so tough that we had to throw it away. As you leave reception on arrival to the pitch the first dog leg bend has a blind spot and it’s not always possible to see the children (or adults!) on bikes, maybe a convex mirror would help? Not sure if already there, but solar would be a great improvement for the environment.

Accommodation review :

It was a very good sized pitch and having the accessibility for the water and electricity within your pitch was brilliant.

The tree needs to be cut back a bit so that when the pigeons roost in there they don’t defecate (poop) all over the awning as we had to keep wiping it off every couple of days

General information :

Very enthusiastic welcome Pitch large with all services Certainly great for families with lots to do

On arrival with a large touring caravan there is little or no space to pull up to check-in with out block peoples access. Please also direct/escort large touring units via the larger roadway as to try and manoeuvre around some of the corners is near impossible

Accommodation review :

Restaurant The marked trailways Pitch and services

The roads are too cluttered with vehicles which can cause awkwardness for large vehicles to pass

General information :

Family friendly - all ages well catered for. The perfect place to male and share precious memories with family. A large site, yet quiet, and relaxed. A well stocked shop with sensible prices, and a good restaurant. Helpful and cheery staff. We came in iur caravan to share a holiday with our daughter and small grandson who were staying in a nearby holiday cabin, and had a magical time.

The vegetation near the main ‘crossroad/corner’ would benefit from being cut back as there were numerous times when cars/site buggies/small children running or on scooters almost came to grief as the corner is busy, used by all types of camper and vehicles, and quite a ‘blind bend’. We also experienced a number of people driving far too fast in the small roads where children could run out (including staff members on buggies).

Accommodation review :

Loved the huge level pitch and having 16amp electricity and water/drainage

Nothing!

General information :

The site has a calm quality that has to be experienced to understand it, some guests have returned for over 30 years which speaks for itself. We appreciate the efforts the site owners and staff undertake in order to maintain their already high standard and develop the site without losing that essential La Garangeoire feel. We have been to many sites across France and other EU countries, but nothing compares to this site, for us it’s sets the standard. We’ll hopefully return next year ??

Accommodation review :

Spacious pitch, easy access for caravan, connections accept standard fittings.

General information :

Friendly helpful staff. Large private pitch areas. Activities every day. Transport to local towns on market days. Surrounding area great for walking and cycling

Accommodation review :

Large pitch with privacy hedging. Well maintained

General information :

Lovely location , plenty of things to do if you wanted very helpful reception staff .

None

Accommodation review :

Spacious and quiet pitch near to facilities

Over hanging tree

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

General information :

Well run, excellent staff and plenty of activities on site.

Night wardens asking to be quiet at 10 pm. The blue lagoon was green.

Accommodation review :

Spacious and private with fully serviced pitches.

Plot was not level.

General information :

This is our third time staying here and we love it. All the staff are very welcoming and friendly. The toilets and all public areas are kept very clean and tidy. We appreciate the quietness of the campsite that the staff maintain it makes our holiday relaxing and enjoyable. We will be back again and again

General information :

Loved all the different activities on offer.

Accommodation review :

Good size, very close to sanitary block. Shady

General information :

We booked La Garangoire, not knowing what to expect and I couldn't have been happier. From the moment you pull into the entrance what an amazing place. Everything was kept to a very high level, from the gardens to the cleanliness of the facilities. The staff everywhere were friendly and helpful, always greeted with a smile. The food in the take away and restaurant were of fantastic quality and price. We will return.

A little more choice in on the menu's wouldn't go a miss.

Accommodation review :

The pitch was large, nicely protected from three side, quite level, and it met all our expectations.

It would have been nice if the grass had been cut with a collection mower prior to our arrival.

General information :

Couldn’t recommend this more. Fabulous day. Can’t believe we didn’t even leave the site!! We’ll be back!

Accommodation review :

Nice and shady

General information :

Great for families with great entertainment if you wanted it. Restaurant food better than average. Good takeaway. All staff very polite and pleasant with English spoken.

Pool on late nights too crowded. If you are a novice rider as my wife was I would avoid the stables. I realise that they are not part of the site but unfortunately she had a fall and no accident forms were completed and there was only one lead rider with her. It was ok for little rides for children if led or experienced riders.

Accommodation review :

Large pitches with facilities.

Although there were patrols on the static side to keep noise down our pitch backed onto the camp road and people going home after 10 could be quite noisy.

General information :

Generally quiet site, lovely staff in all areas from reception the moment we arrived to all other staff we came across. The site is lovely and clean, with lots of activities available. We will be back.

A very minor issue but some of the signage around the park could do with being made clearer, eg. No clear indication of where to stop when you first arrive on site.

Accommodation review :

Very good size, and not issues with electrics or water.

This is very minor but the tree above our pitch could do with a trim as it kept hitting the roof of our caravan with low level branches and dead wood fell onto the caravan.

General information :

Great place for kids

General information :

Well kept and tidy campsite with excellent facilities and activities for all the family. Too much too do and not enough time!

No.

Accommodation review :

Very spacious pitch with easily accessible water and drainage.

Grass could have been mowed a bit but wasn’t too much of an issue.

General information :

Nice campsite. Facilities all very clean and well maintained. Very nice pool complex. Plenty of activities day and night catering for most people. Plenty of nice country walks around the campsite

Not a lot to dislike. Not enough staff to cater for the amount of customers in the bar. Site is out in the countryside too far from anything, feeling a bit contained. Everything a little expensive compared to other sites we used with comparable facilities.

Accommodation review :

Disappointed with Pitch, size was ok (some pitches are really large) but not what was expected. Special request when booking we requested partial shade unfortunately it was partial sun shaded from the trees all day, thankfully weather was good

Shaded all day with a little sun late afternoon.

General information :

Fantastic campsite with loads to do for the kids, had a very interesting tour of house and history of the Vendee with owner. Thanks a million.

Toilet and shower block was not to our liking.

General information :

De camping wordt keurig onderhouden. Ruime staanplaatsen, leuke speelgelegenheden, prima afhaal en restaurant. Vriendelijk personeel. Campinggasten voornamelijk uit Ierland en Engeland. Lagune is een leuke toevoeging. Wandelroutes vanaf de camping zijn handig. Het dorpje St Julien is niks te beleven. Strand op 20 a 30 minuten rijden.

Voor diverse activiteiten zoals boogschieten of yoga moet je bijbetalen. Moet gewoon inclusief zijn is onze mening.

Accommodation review :

Prachtige ruime plek op rustige locatie (Coucous)

General information :

Geweldige camping, prachtige locatie, zeer ruime staanplaatsen. Volop animatie, top manege. Vriendelijk personeel, veilig voor kleine kinderen. Goede voorzieningen, leuke omgeving voor strandliefhebbers!

Dat het restaurant op maandag gesloten is.

Accommodation review :

Ruime plek

Duiven in de bomen die poepen op je tent.

General information :

The impressive chateau as you arrive, the proximity to wonderful nature., including the fantastic planting around the reception/ bar areas, the size and layout of the pitches, the helpful and welcoming staff and a safe and secure family feel. Few sites create such loyalty from customers of all ages.

Accommodation review :

No problems encountered.

The tree at the entrance to our pitch (Les Anguilles) is now huge and caused a few issues in terms of excessive shade. We felt it needed trimming to some extent.

General information :

We’ve stayed at French campsites for years but La Garangeoire is the best by far. Really spacious, clean and discretely laid out, safe for kids to cycle round independently. Kids loved the cashless wrist tags lol. Mini market well stocked, fresh bread & pasties daily! We cooked at pitch mostly but had take away pizzas twice, delicious!! Staff are genuine & super friendly. Cycle paths & lakes superb. Lots of activities available we didn’t get to do all. Kids loved horse riding in forest. Pool area was perfect for our kids 10 & 7, life guards attentive & polite. We’ll be back next year.

I’m struggling to find anything to fault with this campsite.

Accommodation review :

Huge pitch with great privacy, stunning trees. Amenities close by, never had to wait on toilets, showers or dishwashing facilities. All cleaned regularly. Water dispenser fantastic idea for refilling bottles hence reducing need for buying plastic bottles. Great having drainage at pitch. Campsite quiet policy adhered to (except for campers walking back to pitches after entertainment but that’s unavoidable) . Surprisingly quiet for the amount of people, even the kids were having a little lie on in the mornings lol

No complaints at all

General information :

We have booked again.

All good

Accommodation review :

Good sized pitch with hedges OM three sides. Close to excellent amenities.

Waste drain too high for waste water to drain.

General information :

De oprit de camping op. Het kleine strand werd goed ontvangen door mijn zoon en vrouw. Alle kampeerplaatsen zijn bizar groot

Accommodation review :

Alle plaatsen zijn bizar groot op deze camping

Wij waren weggezet op wat leek een oude plaats van een stacaravan. Dit was wel erg ruim maar enige connectie met overige kampeerders met caravans bijvoorbeeld was dan weer ver te zoeken.. dit was jammer omdat er aan de andere kant van het terrein nog diverse plaatsen ongebruikt waren, maar ja het was niet anders

General information :

There’s a lot going on, the grounds are beautiful, the walking trails and lake are great. The lagoon offers a nice option to avoid busy pool area. Kids loved the water slides. The evening entertainment for kids (magic show, kapla, carnival) all very good

For campsite that size, pool didn’t feel big enough, often very crowded so tricky to keep a good eye on kids. Weather wasn’t great, but obviously that’s not a reflection on the campsite

Accommodation review :

Size! Massive.

NA - excellent pitch

General information :

daily shuttle bus to bretignolles would be iseful

Accommodation review :

spacious

General information :

All the staff are very friendly and go out of their way to help you and ensure that your stay goes without a hitch. Whilst we didn’t use the animations those staff were particularly friendly. You could see Emma’s smile a mile off. The guys in the cycle reception were particularly helpful when I had problems with my mobility scooter.

It would be better if the toilets etc were closed whilst being cleaned

Accommodation review :

We were able to choose our pitch which we have stayed on before. It is convenient for the facilities and is the hub for movement around that particular pert of the site. We like talking to people!

The pitch is slightly uneven, has a rut and drops away at the back. Whilst a large pitch it is one of the smaller on the site nevertheless we prefer it’s location.

General information :

Overall another great holiday at La Garangeoire. A super campsite with something for everyone, especially our 2 teenagers. We were slightly disappointed with the quality of the restaurant this year and we only visited once. Reception staff were more than amazing from arrival to departure. Overall a wonderful holiday and we have booked again for next year.

Accommodation review :

Super shady pitch, we are always at the same pitch. Maybe if possible, the trees could be pruned a little, but overall a great location within the campsite and very happy to visit again.
