Castel Camping Parc de Fierbois *****

Review of the campsite

The swimming pools and slides are nice and the restaurant is good value with decent food. The on site shop during the last two weeks does not restock so food is difficult. The indoor swimming pool is also nice and heated. The zip lines are €20 per person which is expensive I feel. The restaurant in the local village was excellent

The shower and toilet facilities on the premium pitches are anything but premium and poorly maintained. They are beginning to rot and smell as such the decking is also not cleaned so very slippery when wet and the out door lighting was removed as we complained it wasn't working. We paid over €1000 and it was not worth it the pitch was really unlevel (259) and overall I felt there was a lack of value for money for what we paid.

Review of the campsite

Our 5th stay in 20 years. The site is very ‘natural’ with a lovely modern toilet / wash block.

Some areas are looking tired and in need of upgrade, refresh or replacement.

Review of the campsite

Facilities good if they had all been available, but our stay coincided with the last week of opening and some activities were closed, other curtailed as to days / hours available. The shop which the website says is so well stocked was very limited in fresh produce. Bar not opening until mid day. Kids club only until Thursday. Pitches are a good size but ours had significant mole activity meaning muddy lumps everywhere. Main pool very cold, small number of sun beds. Lake very good. The last night was significantly impacted by the staff partying with loud music until 3 am

If the site is advertised as open then ensure all facilities are available and dont make guests feel that you are clearing up and cant wait for them to leave to do so. Had all facilities been available all week rating would have been higher. Suggest you dont stay in the last week before they close ( which this year was 29th August - very early)

Review of the campsite

Easy site with big camping pitches. Lots to do when all open. Very clean shower blocks and pool great (when warm)

Lake is disgustingly and no lifeguard. Site is not “pretty”. Restaurant distinctly average. The paddle boards were not on the week we were there and there was no prior information about this. I hate the arcade. It’s just a draw to kids when it’s not needed. The bar often had long queues and drink choices were poor.

Nothing we were burgled

Everything

Review of the campsite

The lac and activities on the lake. The accrobranche. The amenities of the premium chalets. The quiet

Not as many entertainment or clubs or activities as in peak season despite it still being August. We arrived on 19 August and most chalets were empty and the campsite had a real feel of end of season with some activities not being on the calendar anymore and the paddle board on the lake closing on the Sunday. Maintenance teams starting to empty the chalets.

Review of the campsite

All staff are very friendly and helpful. The pool looks good but it was too crowded for us to use (it is a fair size but is smaller than it looks on the website) - we used the lake instead which was nice. There is lots for families to do here, and we found nice walks through the woodland. The parc should do more with this feature, perhaps create more cycle friendly routes around the woodland. The parc has a business room where you can remote work for free. This is a good feature that more campsites should adopt. It would be good if more was done (shop and Restaurant) for gluten free needs.

The site is very remote and there are virtually no transport links - a car is really needed to get around. We used a taxi once but was ripped off.

Review of the campsite

Place was clean and well maintained, pool was lovely and lots to do.

Wi-Fi is patchy and we had none at our pitch despite complaining for 10 of our 14 days. Golf is dated and on a massive slant with broken edges. Needs more sun beds and drinks hugely over priced. Water on pitch was cloudy and undrinkable.

Review of the campsite

We stay at Parc de Feirbois to break up out longer journey further south! It was brilliant, our two daughter thoroughly enjoyed all the park had to offer, from evening entrainment, to swimming in the lake.! So much included with the stay! Our night away in the tree cabins was just perfect and hoisting up breakfast just the pinical of our stay! Would highly recommend anyone to experience it, we'd definitely return for longer or use again for an overnight stop.

To be overly critical the bedding in the cabins could be more comfortable.

Review of the campsite

There were a wide range of activities for the family to enjoy-just make sure you look at the timetable as not always available. Staff were all brilliant, always seemed so helpful. The shop was well stocked, we especially enjoyed the fresh pastries. Sanitary blocks were fantastic, well cleaned and felt luxurious compared to come campsite toilet blocks!

The evening entertainment was so so noisy at night, our caravan even vibrating from the base, not finishing until 11pm. So whilst great if you want to enjoy it, not great if you have young children that needed their sleep. The pool areas were great, yet in need of TLC, with lots of cracks and broken tiles/floor etc, and quite grubby looking for what you would expect for a 5*

Review of the campsite

The size of the pool was great and my boys loved the slide, but the cold water meant they were freezing after 10 minutes which was a real shame. The lake is excellent along with the space for boules and table tennis. Lovely big pitch and the fridge inside the shed was excellent. The toilet and shower facilities were also excellent.

It was so loud at night......11pm for quiet is too late when you have small children, whi every so often need to go to bed slightly earlier. The music from the entertainment was ridiculously loud and completely changed the atmosphere when we were sitting out playing cards. I felt like we were at a nightclub and not at a lovely campsite in nature. This was a real dissapointment for us having stayed in 3 other campsites just before our stay, this was by far the noisiest. There was no one enforcing the quiet rule after 11, or signs anywhere.

Review of the campsite

Lots to do. Fabulous lake. Brilliant pool area. Large pitches.

Service in the bar area was very slow. Not nearly enough staff behind the bar.

Review of the campsite

Everything you need is on tje campside. Also very nice employees. We had booked a stay with our folding tent, but due to the weather conditions, we wanted to change to an airconditioned caravan. That was no problem en was arranged just hours before we arrived.

The only thing i can think of (due to temperature) is more shadow places near the swiming pool.

Review of the campsite

I wouldn't return. It's not awful. But lots of little disappointments. The Good - Premium Chalet layout is nice. 6 person chalet for 2 adults 2 kids was comfortable. The Lake and water sports - Really nice addition. Laser Tag - amazing, great fun, great space and ran by a very nice man who was extremely inclusive. Good value for money.

Clean the pools. Get the chemical levels right to stop Algee growth, regularly clean the indoor pool area Daily. Improve the shop. Sell more food over toys and clothes, add an automatic coffee machine and a fresh orange juice squeezer. Train your staff and improve customer service. Give them full knowledge and enthusiasm of the site. Many felt like they didn't care didn't want to be there. Tired site - mini golf old, table tennis old, arcade old. All run down. Lack of space - you've crammed pitches everywhere. More space needed for play

Review of the campsite

Lovely toilets and wash area

Little tired around the bar area and pool not enough loungers
