Camping le Gibanel

Visited in July with our 4 and 6 year old children, staying in a cabin and had a wonderful stay. Plenty to do for the children, whilst being close to towns and their amenities. A relaxed and family friendly camp site in a stunning location. One thing they could improve on is communicating infomation from accomodation amenities and activities. A welcome pack on arrival would solve this. Would recommend staying here.

We already come here for many years now and the campsite itself is at a very beautiful location alongside the river Dordogne and with a castle on the campsite itself. The campspaces are big, green and with enough shade. But sadly that are nowadays the only good things about the campsite. The toilet buildings are very dirty. The special group "Estivant" causes a lot of noise during the nights. Compared to other campsites in France, cars are allowed to drive on to the campsite during the night which causes a lot of noise too. Then about the restaurant, well if you can call it a restaurant nowadays. The location is perfect, in the castle with an overview of the river. But food wise it's better to stay away from this place. They change menus 15 minutes before the restaurant opens so if you are drinking a nice glass of beer or wine at the castle and are thinking of ordering a nice Burger, ask again when the restaurant open as it might surprise you that they suddenly don't want to prepare burgers. Also if you order a pizza be prepared for black burned pizzas. Yes they don't mind serving it even when it's burned. Also check the amount of money they charge you afterwards as math isn't their biggest strength either. In the past you could also take away food every evening but nowadays most of the evenings they just say they don't do takeaway. This week the dutch company ANWB came to the campsite to do an inspection and see if the campsite was still worth the 4 stars they currently have but I think they are going to lose some. The benefit of this is that the toilet buildings are now being cleaned properly for the first time in 10 days. I really hope that the actual owners stop the rental agreement with Sea Green asap. Since Sea Green took over the management of the campsite every year the experience has gotten worse and less and less people come to the campsite and they can't blame it on Corona. Let's hope it can be turned around because the campsite itself is at a beautiful location and could bring joy to a lot of people with the right management!
