Campsite de Courtille ***

This campsite is in a very pleasant location next to a lake and within walking distance of the town of Gueret. Pitches are grouped in circular formations with sun and shade available. There are two sanitary blocks but one was closed despite the site being quite busy. In the open block there were only two toilets for each sex, one standing and one sitting. The one sitting toilet in the male section was very dirty.

This site was a disappointment. The lake beside it was lovely with pleasant walking around it, it was on the edge of the town of Gueret but perhaps just beyond walking distance. Entrance to the site is barrier controlled and when we arrived the reception was unmanned and a phone number given to make a contact. When the male owner arrived he was abrupt and seemed to be in a hurry to be else where, several other campers also complained about this. The site itself is divided into 5 circular compounds with approx. 5 pitches in each compound. Two of the compounds were closed even though the site was full most of the 4 nights we were there but my main complaint is that the pitches were small, sloping and required a good deal of levelling, most of the users were one nighters so we were able to get one of the better pitches. Toilet/shower/dish washing facilities were good but I would not use his site again.

Staff very helpful. Located by a lake with lovely walk round. Pitches fine, but some on a bit of a slope. Toilets clean enough, but like others have said one Turkish which we don\'t like. Showers very nice, but washing up water a tad cool. Drive in along a fairly narrow road. Good stopover rather than long term stay.

Stayed here one night. This is a barrier controlled site so cannot get in if no one in reception. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Beautiful surroundings by lake. Pitches were well laid out in circular design. Toilet block was clean and well maintained, but lack of standard toilets. Lovely walk around the lake. Big supermarket in town, although not in walking distance. Bread could be ordered at reception for following day and small shop on site. We would definitely recommend this site.

When we arrived the site was deserted, no staff, no vans but there was a sign on the door saying office would be open after 18.00. We waited, other vans came and went. When the staff arrived we booked in and were directed to a pitch (most were un-useable due to rain!). We were the only van on site. It is a beautiful location and we thoroughly enjoyed it. We had stocked up at Leclerc in Gueret (be aware of height barriers on all car parks, we parked by bins at back of shop). The bird life is fantastic and the walk around the lake is a must. The shower and toilet was simple but spacious and clean, if rather cold. The washing up facilities are good and there are plenty of play areas for the young and for the older keep fit! Overall we loved it here due to the beauty and the environment.

Camp site reviews June 2014
Gueret 15 and 16
Excellent site, well organised, very good, washing up etc, FREE WIFI on most of the site, lovely surroundings, walkable into the town, good walks around lake, you can walk the whole lake in an hour...ish, very friendly welcome. Excellent value, modern facilities, not \"bang up to date\" but clean, and generous size shower cubicles
Downside. Only 1 Turkish toilet per gender per block and 1 continental.....not enough downside points to stop us returning on our return journey though! Toilet paper provided. Small well stocked shop

We stayed on this beautiful campsite for 3 nights, the staff are so friendly, the pitches are spacious. The site though busy was tranquil. The toilets and showers are a bit dated but very clean. Our 2 dogs loved the nearby lake as much as we did. It is a bit too far to walk to the supermarket, but we will make sure we stock up in future, because we will most certainly be going back!

The new owners continue to be improving the things. Stayed here twice recently and continue to find the place very good. Will no doubt be going again later this year with perhaps more time to stay.

Had intended as an overnight stop. Stayed 4 days and again on our return. Good area for walking and cycling. Best in good weather or could be limited and best out out of season.

We stayed 16 nights in this well sigposted and easy to find campsite. There is a walk from the site around a beautiful lake (3.2km distance) which was very attractive. The centre of Gueret is a short drive with all main supermarkets (with fuel) and varied shops/markets. Although the toilet block is a little dated it is kept very clean with plenty of hot water. The owners are very helpful and keen to oblige.
