Campsite La Chênaie

Surroundings nice perfectly located for Laon centre. Think it's an up and coming site with some improvements being made perhaps. No water on site apart from outside reception which is not brilliant. Lake looks good for fishing if its allowed. Check in was bizarre as not much English spoken by the staff and he did not understand my French. Think in two years time it probably will be much improved. I've stayed on better ACSI sites for the same money.

We have previously used this camp for stopovers en route to or from the south, this year we intend staying longer to have a good look around. We've never had any complaints, found that the staff are friendly, spoke far better English than we do French I'm embarrassed to say. Pitches are large and the amenities are fine. Adding the pool was a welcome addition after a 400 miles stint.

A nice level site in partly wooded area - informal layout with good level pitches makes it feel quite informal. Reception helpful but not much English. Covered pool is small and in a strange position but as the site develops this make be a different case. Facilities are ok but now in need of updating - clean enough but no sign of methodical cleaning at any set point/s in the day.
Laon is nice and a good 3k walk but does feature one steep climb. Noise from the nearby shooting range was limited and not for prolonged period

We stayed overnight at this campsite on our way home. I was a bit hesitant about going there because of some of the reviews. The reception staff were friendly and efficient (also gave out free map and information about Laon). We were able to choose our emplacement - some are on quite a slope and you may need to use ramps. The toilet facilities were clean and the shower was nice a warm. There was also plenty of hot water for washing up. We didn’t see the campsite at it’s best due to rain but it would be quite pretty and I am sure good for a few days to explore the area.

Stayed here on an overnight stop, reception staff very pleasant and English speaking. Reception is a good way from camping area. The lower pitches are quit well defined and well kept but the higher ones up the site are a little hap- hazard and not so attractive and some are sloping but it was quite a busy weekend so there wasn’t as much choice but to take what was available. Toilet block was clean but take your own paper! We were told the town was quite interesting but we didn’t find time to take it in.

A lovely site and well placed to visit Laon , if you don’t mind a very steep walk up from the campsite. The pool is lovely . The pitches are good. The toilet facilities were not fully open yet so not brilliant. It won’t stop us going again.

Campsite on the outskirts of Laon. Small pitch with some privacy. Good modern toilet block but with no toilet seats or toilet paper (why? - don\'t the owners have these in their homes?), nice grounds seemingly being developed, small heated and covered pool and bread to order. Steep walking access into Laon, an interesting walled town. Would not return because of toilet facilities.

Good sized level pitches, friendly staff, clean showers etc, though cubicles were a bit on the small side. Didn’t use oil, but it looked well maintained and clean. Perfect for a one night stop over on way south.

This could be a really fantastic campsite, but as ever let down by its toilet facilities. They have concentrated on building a luxury swimming pool at the expense of updating the sanitary facilities. Lovely walks around the lake and surrounding grounds for the dogs. Such a pity.

The site was very unkempt. The pool was nice but very small and in an odd position. Main complaint was the toilet facilities which were very dirty and we did not see anyone clean them during the 2 days we were there. Would not go there again.
