A very friendly and welcoming caravan site with English speaking owners who care about their visitors. The area is typically French with open rural landscapes with towns and villages within easy driving or walking distance. All of the villages have restaurants with menus to cater for every taste.

Immaculate site with top facilities, great bar & food, ideal for walking & cycling. Handy location for Airvault, Poitiers, La Rochelle & Oradour-sur-Glane. Secure caravan storage is a real bonus — perfect base for touring rural France!

Legge, Mike (gm) - 05/06/2025

Just returned from a great stay at Camping de Courte Vallée — a top site for caravaners. Run by an ex-British military owner and his wife, the site is spotless and very well maintained. Pitches are large, level, and well-spaced, with easy access to electric and water. Facilities are first class — always clean with plenty of hot water.The friendly on-site bar serves great food — ideal after a day out. The location is perfect for walking and cycling, with beautiful routes along the nearby river, and a lovely park right next door.A real bonus is the on-site caravan storage — secure and perfect for those looking to leave their van in France and save on ferry crossings.Nearby Airvault is full of charm with good bars, restaurants, and a supermarket. Poitiers and La Rochelle make excellent day trips, and the historic village of Oradour-sur-Glane is about a 2-hour drive.Highly recommend Camping de Courte Vallée — I’ll definitely be back!

The bathrooms are always clean and tidy.The owners are very helpful and lovely people.The area around the site is very pretty rural France. Airvault’s and St Loup are perfect, they have lovely bars and restaurants which are reasonably priced. Airvault’s supermarket has everything you need. Also, the local vet is fantastic and speaks good English.The storage facility for your caravan is ideal, certainly saves money on ferry fares.Overall 10 out 10.Will be back in 2 weeks. Can’t wait.
