Barbecues are available at the campsite (ecolodge area and chalets) and in the gîte village (Muzac room). We ask our customers to respect these places of conviviality and to use the barbecues at reasonable times so as not to disturb all our customers.

Our 4-legged friends are welcome on the campsite and in the accommodation (excluding Glamping) and in the self-catering village. We do, however, ask you to keep them on a lead and to pick up after them (litter picks are available at reception). Only one pet per accommodation.

Practical info Camping
→ Can I put a tent next to a camper van or caravan site?
With the exception of a few pitches, we do not invite you to do so, as motorhome and caravan pitches have been defined as such in relation to the hardness of the ground. It's complicated to pitch a tent on hard ground!
→ What is glamping?
Literally, this word means glamorous camping. And more seriously, this concept born in Holland has developed the way we camp: more chic and comfortable. On the programme: XXL safari tent and very comfortable equipment to spend time with family or friends without lacking anything!
Payment methods
→ Can I pay with holiday vouchers?
Absolutely! Even though we don't yet accept e-vacance vouchers!
→ When do I pay the balance of my holiday?
A deposit is required at the time of booking. The balance is paid 2 weeks before your arrival date.
