CAMPING LA VENISE VERTE ^{* * * *}

A very pretty site in a beautiful location, wonderful bar and restaurant area which look amazing in the evenings.
The only things I would add is another washroom block the opposite end of the campsite. As we had to walk right across the site to use the facilities with a young family, which was difficult during the evening. I would convert a single large pitch, even if it was just for toilets.
Apart from that we really enjoyed our stay.
(Note to families with young children, there is no shallow end to the pool!)

Lors de notre séjour, nous avons passés un agréable moment dans se chalet.
Endroit très prope, accueil du camping très bien.
A refaire.
Merci

Camping très sympathique en pleine nature.
Nous avons réservé pour 9 jours, nous voulions rester 2 jours de plus et le patron a tout fait pour que nous gardions notre emplacement et cela a pu se faire, merci à cette personne très sympathique ainsi qu’aux personnes travaillant sur le camping toujours à l’écoute du client.
Nous reviendrons sans hésiter car nous aimons le marais Poitevin.
Merci encore à toutes ces personnes travaillant sur le camping.

Site has a lovely ‘feel’ about it. It’s in a fantastic location / area and the facilities are excellent

BE WARNED, the tariff at this website is nowhere near the ACSI rate. The ACSI book states 21 euros a night. The board at the entrance at the campsite then states 28 euros for a larger pitch and 3 euros for an extra dog. So we were expecting to pay 31 euros (28 euros for a large pitch plus extra dog at 3 euros = 31 euros) We stayed 17 nights on a larger pitch and we paid a total of 570 euros - 33 euros a night. When I queried this I received an itemised bill emailed to me which stated that we had been charged 35 euro for a weeknight and 39 euros at the weekends.

The girl at reception never told us when we checked in that a larger pitch was charged extra, and I still do not understand how 31 euros a night became 35 euros a night on a week night and 39 euros at the weekend! Again, we were not told about this and if I had known I would have stayed on a different campsite, All the years I have been visited France I have never experienced this sharp practice and we are totally disgusted. This is so deceitful and underhand and I have formally complained to ACSI about all these extra "hidden" charges.

Invoice attached.

The pitches are very small and the larger pitches hardly bigger, The pitches get no sunlight. If you have a large caravan or motorhome do not stay here, turning is very tight. You will have to move the caravan with a mover first onto the narrow road as there are so many trees lining the roads. The pitches are very close together and it feels dark and claustrophobic. The trees are not trimmed so they will scratch the caravan roof.

The young girl at reception had a permanent scowl and bad tempered if asked to change money for the washing machine (you have to pay with exact cash at the machine), or if you don't have the right amount for bread.

It was the worse campsite we have ever visited in France.
