Camping Le Chêne du Lac ***

Stayed here in September when it rained most of the time. Love surroundings camping amongst the trees with lovely lake. Would definitely stay here again with hopefully better weather but great place to chill. Proper chips with homemade pizza a must.

A good site for chilling out large shaded pitches, good facilities lovely lake to walk round or sit by with a drink. Very helpful and friendly english speaking site owner good value countryside site

Peaceful, rustic site on the edge of a small lake which makes for a quiet evening stroll. The campsite owner speaks excellent English and is probably the most friendly, helpful and accommodating of all owners we've come across this year. There is obviously continuing renovations going on and would love to return in warmer weather when a swim in the lake would be enticing. Definitely recommend.

This is very much a work in progress site. Showers great as block obviously refurbished, but washing up facilities have yet to be done and the water was a bit tepid. Toilets clean enough. The staff are excellent even offered an adaptor for the electrics. This is very much a chill out site as no villages near. Would certainly return again if this way.

Excellent site though a bit rustic. Very friendly staff. Good stopover on the way south. Right next to the lake which had sunbeds.

Very welcoming owners. Refurbished showers excellent. Swim in adjacent lake lovely after a days drive. Fantastic value for money.

We stayed on this site for 8 nights and enjoyed every minuet. When we arrived at the entrance we thought, Oh No! But we were directed along the road by another camper to the new entrance, all very nice with security barriers, a reception office, kitchen and bar. The owners, Christine and Didie could not have been more welcoming. The pitch was an amazing size with views over the lake, stunning sunsets. The lake and beach were clean with plenty to do. New shower block excellent and the home made pizza excellent too. The owners were working all day on more improvements Looking forward to our next visit.

We arrived on site after a day of rain. The proprietor was most helpful and showed us to a dry hard standing pitch close to electricity. He showed us around the site and to the newly refurbished toilet and shower block. These were super especially having stayed on Aires for a few day prior to this. The proprietor brought us pamphlets about local places to go especially St Emilion. Unfortunately the weather was atrocious and we decided to stay in the van for two days as it was too wet to visit anywhere!. So a day in the van catching up on free use of WiFi! I would imagine that in the summer the campsite would be great place to stay at especially with the nearby lake and beach. Thanks we enjoyed despite the weather with a very friendly host.

It is unfortunate that some reviews have been as critical as they are. My wife and I have spent several holidays at this site over the last couple of years (we travel to France at least three times each year), and have got to know the patrons. They only took the site over about three years ago and have done a tremendous job in upgrading it in that time. They have plans for yet more improvements, and those who would not let their dogs use the showers may be glad to know that work has now started on the Toilet and Shower block.

Please do not let some negative comments put you off coming to this site. We have watched the improvements - and the patrons, alone, make it worthwhile going! We certainly expect to be back to see further improvements take place!

We only stayed for one night because of the condition of the campsite. The facility block was still closed but we were told we could use one of the mobile homes which was also being utilised as a green house! The site could have been tidier and cleaner and did not have a feel good factor. This is a very rural and basic site.
