Almost every place we camped in France, Italy, and Switzerland is a far better value in terms of the amenities you get for your money. This one, like all others, had clean toilets and showers. This one even had hot showers. It also has a sink for washing dishes. The tent pitching area is really nice. It is clean and grassy. We had a nice peaceful night in a grassy area in a quiet village. There was little information about this place available online in English, so I was a little concerned that we would show up and have no place to sleep. My concerns were unfounded and everything was fine. It is a cash only operation. There is a lady in a little shed and you pay her. I think for two people and one tent it was about 16 Euro. No reservations required, just show up with some cash. If this were the only European campsite we stayed at and I only had American campsites to compare it to, it would be five stars. However, we stayed in may European campsites and I go a little spoiled, so it is only four stars because some others had many more amenities.

Magnificent. When I was there we had thunderstorms every day towards the evening - they have two little shelters where backpackers can cook their meals and charge their phones.
