Lovely well maintained site. The proprietor was very friendly and helpful.
Very well run friendly, large pitches, very clean and spacious toilet blocks. We rocked up around 7ish and was met by Jane who instructed on best available pitches and good overview of site and area. The restaurant was closing by the time we got to the bar but they made an exception and gave us a meal… thank you.Relaxed evenings in the bar and social area with locals also enjoying the evening festivities which in turn helps in understanding the area, history and local eating houses to go to. Was made to feel very welcome by the owners and very helpful when had problem with the van. Enjoyed the restaurant food, wine beer and company.I left caravan there for storage and looking forward to next season. A big thanks to Jane and James for making our stay with you very enjoyable. See you next season.Rod and Di
Airvault is a perfect rural French village in beautiful countryside. The campsite has all facilities required for a peaceful holiday.
Enjoyable stay as usual but badly affected by the weather. Hardworking owners who go above and beyond.
As always we had a friendly welcome and our caravan was sited ready for us to start our holiday. All the facilities were good as before. Very happy and will return in 2025.
Well it was a very warm welcome , and my van was all set up and ready for me which is a great .. the place is lovely, even though the weather wasn’t the best , the experience is great , there could be a few improvements , but they are quite minor and I’m sure they will be rectified once this review is read ... It’s the little touches that ,make a difference I was alone on my holiday and it was my birthday and Jayne came to my caravan with a card and box of chocolates ... how lovely .... they had a band on and that was a fantastic night the band was plus atmosphere , it’s a nice site and lots of people return , so that says something ..they had a charity afternoon tea day and raised over 1000 euro ... and it was great ... Personally I would have liked is a little onsight shop for milk and eggs and bits .YoU see, I had no vehicle but jayne took me to the supermarket ....so if someone to manned reception at a regular time and sold essentials etc it would be beneficiali
We have been visiting this site for about eight years. It is stuated in a rural part of France; the real France. There are many historical, some medieval, towns within easy reach. The River Thouet runs close to the campsite. The name Thouet derives from the ancient Gallic word for tranquil which describes it perfectly. You can cycle or walk along the river in either direction for miles. There are many exciting attractions for those with children within an hours drive. There is a small Tourist information office just ten minutes walk away in town. There is also a patisserie with Pain aux Raisin to die for :)The campsite owners, James and Jayne are very helpful and friendly as are everyone concerned with running the site. You might have realised that I am a bit of a fan. Try it for youself.
Site was easy to find. When we arrived reception closed but our booking was displayed on board which pitch had been allocated for us. Fortunately a camper arrived the same time with code and we followed camper in. Very pleased with hard standing pitch which was large enough for our 7m motorhome. The new shower block which was segregated women’s and men’s, contained three cubicles with toilet and washbasin each which were very clean. Only problem was the shower which wouldn’t stay on, having to hold push button with one hand whilst attempting to wash your self one handed. The older shower block was clean and fit for purpose but again, pushing the shower button resulted in an ark of water flooding everywhere but over you! All mentioned to Jams who explained hard water affecting shower fitments.We enjoyed beautiful walks with our dog in various green spaces around campsite. Campers mostly English, enjoying get togethers, boules and communal bbqs. Very friendly atmosphere.
