Campeggio Les Bords de l'Eure ***

Third overnight stop in 6 years on a site that is convenient on a journey, but hasn\'t improved much. We haven\'t found nearby alternatives. They now take plastic and seem more customer friendly but the pitches are rough and uncared for, full of twigs and small branches and last year\'s leaves. We had difficulty finding a level one without ruts. Being a municipal maybe this is the local authority\'s responsibility, but they should be ashamed. Just a few toilets, need renovating and one lady\'s WC was leaking onto the floor. One squatter if that\'s your thing. The walk to the city is pleasant - 30 plus minutes. It\'s uphill to the Cathedral so not just an easy stroll if you\'re an unsteady senior. Our satnav wanted to take a long route to the site from the Rocade ring-road so beware. Also ensure that you know which direction/ town you are heading for when leaving and going out via the Rocade.

Overnight stop to visit Chartres. Site a pleasant 20-25 minute walk alongside picturesque riverbank. Cathedral & old part of city very interesting (pathway very dark on return later in evening!) pitch size adequate although had to move as first choice electric point not working! Toilet/shower block ok hot water (take paper) chemical toilet cleaning area very easy to get to. Reception staff spoke English & gave us instructions on getting into city. Didn’t use shop etc. So no comments on other facilities. All in all a pleasant site to use for visiting Chartres & area. Thanks

The camp seems to have really deteriorated in the 12 months since we were last there. Only one ladies toilet operational. The washing up facilities had no light so I had to use laundry washing area to do the dishes. The camp itself appeared generally grubby and had an uncared for look about it. I didn\'t complain as there was little time between our arrival and departure as we were only there for one night and I just wanted to get away. Would not use again. Does not warrant the price.

Very disappointed not up to the usual acsi standard. On arrival we were not allowed to pay by card even though this is in the acsi book. Lady in reception not at all friendly or helpful. We weren’t given any information about the site and went and found somewhere to pitch up. Toilet facilities are dated and include several squatting toilets. In the men’s there were four toilets , three were squatting toilets and of these , one door didn’t shut. There are outside water points but none of these are working so all water had to be fetched from the dish washing area and camper vans were having to make lots of trips to fill tanks. We arrived just after lunch and found a pitch easily but the site was nearly full be the end of the day. It’s an ideal location for visiting Chartres cathedral which was amazing. Be aware parking in the town is all underground and expensive. There’s a supermarket close to the site.

What a turnaround, been here before because of its convenience but a bit grubby and unsanitary on our second visit it appears to have had a bit of a clear out and conditions are now better. Chartres is well worth a visit and
a pleasant walk along the riverside path.

Municipal site in need of much TLC, but within walking distance of Chartres. Free WiFi at reception. Only one water tap working other than 1 at Flot Blu! Most people took water from mixer taps in toilet block.

When we stayed here 17 years ago in a tent the welcome was pretty unfriendly and it hasn’t improved. At least then when they knew we were Australian the attitude changed....gotta feel for the Brits. The toilets are still awful...no seats or toilet paper. It’s no wonder Motorhomers are choosing free camps. If it wasn’t for the beautiful city centre we would leave. Surely these reviews must hurt their business!

We have wanted to visit the famous cathedral at Chartres for some time, but it has always fallen outside of our main routes from the UK and down to the Mediterranean. Landing at Dieppe, it seemed more logical and we found this campsite through the ACSI network. Situated very close to the town it is perfectly placed, and we enjoyed a pleasant walk along the river into the centre, taking about thirty minutes.

The campsite was easy to find and the office is open throughout the day, even in low season. It seems to attract a lot of British motorhomes for overnight stays, but we’re not sure which route they are taking or where they are going. It is a generously spaced campsite, with lots of electrical points, although there is little in the way of hardstanding. The electricity supply must have been low amperage, as were unable to boil a kettle with the heating on. We soon learned what not to do, but a higher power rating would have been better.

There is free WiFi on the site, but you would need to be in, or near to the office for it to work. There is a small, reasonably priced shopping corner with a few of the basics, and a ‘frites’ kiosk which presumably, is open in high season. The site has ample play areas for children, although on our visit, we were entertained more by ducks, pheasant & woodpeckers.

We were pleased to see a smart, newly roofed toilet block but, sadly, what it housed was a bit old & tired. There was plenty of hot water, but the toilets & shower area were not heated which was such a shame.

We would come again as the overall package was acceptable, but it would be nice to have a little heat and more power.

This campsite is perfectly situated a 25 minutes walk away from Chartres with its wonderful Cathedral. The site itself is fine but our experience was marred by the rather rude and unwelcoming behaviour of the woman at reception. Also at 5.30am on a Sunday morning when it was still dark everyone was disturbed by scores of people arriving in their cars and setting up a boot sale right in the middle of the site about 20 feet away from us. It was incredible! Not exactly what you need on a restful holiday! To cap it all when we went to collect our bread and croissant order at 8.15 the same woman at reception said she had sold them to the boot sale people - no apology. We would not return.

Excellent site for a stopover in July. Easily findable by satnav from the route through Rouen. Lots of pitches, partially shaded. Didn't use the facilities, so can't comment. Had difficulty finding a tap (in the washing machine room) & waste bins.
