Flower Camping La Venise Verte ****

Went for a few days and stayed 11. Superb site right on the River Sevre and Le Marais Poitevein. I was a little apprehensive about mossies what with the water but there were none. Apparently because the water is flowing, all be it - gently they can\'t breed. Facilities are good, with toilet paper. The only down was that the mens showers did not have a rose so the shower was more like a jet wash. A decent enough pool, but spoilt because the steps in were high and there was no handrail which made it awkward for the less mobile. There is restaurant on site open for 5 nights and a pizza van when closed. The food was ok, but very limited choice. Staff excellent and will help out if they can. Nearby Coulon is a small town within walking distance, a bit touristy but ok. The place to go for a guided tour, on water, in the Marais canals. The hire out canoes and can be launched across the road into main river. Get a map from reception and explore, very good-I spent hours in my own canoe watching wildlife.

What a cracking site this is. Plenty of varying sun/shade pitches. Plenty of leccy/water/drainage about. Very peaceful site altogether. The staff are friendly and helpful. Grass is cut and collected seemingly every time a pitch is vacated. The location is great for cycling/walking, and boating, as you want. The local town being maybe half a mile down the road, with good food and drink places.
Two things we found not so good. The pool is quite deep all over. And the restaurant is run by \'Renne\' off \'Allo \'Allo.
You have to prebook meals the day before, (which is not uncommon), but what you get on the day does not necessarily tally with what was booked. \'Renne\' does his best to please, but cannot serve up what they do not have. This is on top of him running about like a headless chicken with wine/bread baskets, whatever, all the while explaining in \'Franglais\' why you cannot have what you ordered. It was comical, but not the best - or cheapest meal i\'ve eaten. All things considered though, we will definitely return.

Very helpful pleasant reception staff, restaurant on site which we didn’t use, pizza van on nights restaurant was closed which served excellent pizzas. Close to Coulon, great area for cycling.

Lovely site and very friendly family owned and run. pitches were excellent size though the electric was alleged to be 10 amp and we have load monitor on the van which we set to 9 amp, the fridge even being the only item switched on was sounding it's alarm even at 2 in the morning regularly. we were not the only tourers to experience this. WiFi hot spot behind reception or basically it's hit and miss. Toilets and showeres a bit tired but very clean. Pizza van when restaurant is closed and ok. Coulon nearby is very pretty and the food establishments are well worth a visit.

Stayed here just for the 1 night on the way north, a lovely site without doubt but I felt that there was nothing there. I suppose having a motorhome you are reliant upon waking, the river was very near and one could walk alongside the river into the village of Coupon on the river Sevre. A lovely walk but the village was a disappointment as there was very little there unless I missed a trick!! Boats to hire or be chauffeur driven the choice is yours. Some small café on the banks of the river and the usual ice cream. The site it self is lovely, flat spacious pitches reception staff very welcoming and spoke English exceptionally well. Again given a choice of ACSI pitches that we chose leaving the motorhome at the gate. Number plate recognition to get into site once you are checked in so remember your registration number! Facilities very good and clean, saw the swimming pool but did not use but it looked good, remember those Speedo's no shorts. the site, it is good. Walk into Coulon about 30 minutes.

We stopped over for one night only on our trip further South - wish we could have stayed longer! Wonderful site, very clean, friendly owners, big level pitches and a wonderful pool. Will definitely stay longer next year so that we can take advantage of all the walking and cycling opportunities near by.

Reception staff very friendly and helpful. We'd a large pitch with tap and electricity point on the pitch. Sanitary block very clean and plenty of hot water. Definitely one to visit again.

One of the best sites we've ever used. Good facilities, well maintained and very clean. Resident managers and staff all exceptionally helpful. Good location with easy walk into Coulon and lots of walking and cycle tracks nearby.

A wonderful campsite in a great location. We stayed two nights here and would love to have stayed longer. Owner very helpful. Great for beginner cyclists like myself. Coulon, the village, is delightful with Le Petit Train and boats for hire. Being a marshy area, mosquitoes could be a problem, There are basic shopping facilities in the village.

We arrived after reception was closed, owners let us in, were helpful and friendly. An excellent stay (2 weeks)
Excellent facilities - showers/toilets, pool, pitch. Generally a friendly site, a lot of English campers. Brilliant cycling routes. Definitely will return
