Trip with husband and 2 teenage daughters, age 15 and 19. This  was our second visit to this campsight, last time 10ish years ago. We have been to many other Siblu and other campsites in between.  Our mobile was at the back of the campsite but with no little children to walk it was very accessible. Weather was mixed , dull and raining and hot and sunny. We had a fabulous holiday a lovely mixture of time spent on site and out and about .  The mobile home was spotless on arrival. Equipment provided to cater for cooking in a full oven and hob if we wished. Beds clean and comfortable. We hired linen . Washing machine added bonus. We did a mixture of eating out and catering for ourselves. The highlight for us was the evening entertainment especially the shows. The whole  team are amazing providing professional standard entertainment alongside the kids clubs which we didn’t use this year. We enjoyed having a drink during happy hour and cabaret , before our evening meal, after a day at the pool or sightseeing . Great way to wind down , enjoy the evening sunshine and being entertained. Molly’s collection of songs were great , mixture of French and English too. 
The teams around the whole facility were welcoming and helpful from checking in at reception, security, getting drinks at the bar and the pool staff. Even on the busiest nights the bar staff moved quickly through the customers so you never had to wait long to be served. The pool area was immaculately clean especially the toilets. 
We only ate on the on-site restaurant on our last night but should have been more often , meal was delicious and so reasonably priced. A lovely friendly inclusive atmosphere on the campsite. Shop was small but had everything we need to supplement a big shop off site. We needed our gas changed and it was sorted within 1/2hr. Great rapport between the staff, boss, sales team , pool staff ,reception,  bar staff all present in the evenings and being acknowledged by Ents team. 


Perfect family holiday

Everything was so well organised by Siblu. Our mobile home was perfect and had a welcome pack. The staff at La Pignade were, as usual, totally professional and courteous all the time. Enjoyed our stay and will definitely return. Thank you!

Feel like we're at home.

Family group of 3 adults, 3 under 11’s visited for 2 weeks during high summer. Have stayed at French sites (Yelloh, mostly) over last 8 summers. This was the least impressive. After 2 weeks we all failed to navigate the maze-like accommodation numbering. Clearly the site has hugely over-expanded, and the numbers of the properties make no sense. We had a nice quiet Mobil home at the back of the site. Not a pretty site, but functional. Mobil home great, very clean, everything we needed. Quiet at night, importantly! 
My biggest issue relates to the facilities. I stay at these sites in order to access things like archery (unavailable to under 16’s), kid’s clubs (100% French), the bar (long queues), the on-site takeaway (uninspiring), the evening entertainment (the young site entertainers singing Disney, mostly) but most crucially, the pool. 
We were there during a heatwave, but the pool was dangerously over crowded. They had to operate a one-in one-out policy during afternoons. I complained and was directed (by Siblu Customer Service) to the local beaches (none of which are within walking distance). It was barely standing room in the pool. Certainly no chance of playing or swimming! Not a chance of getting a seat/lounger. We sat on the concrete much of the holiday. Nice play area for small children, sports pitch (which was extremely crowded with kids at night), crazy golf fun, 1 ping pong table, huge (unnecessarily huge!) pétanque pitches. Saw a few aqua aerobics sessions in the pool, but too busy really.
Really disappointing. The lifeguards looked a bit lost, I’m not sure how they managed to keep an eye on everyone. 
I wouldn’t stay at this site again. There are lots of much better sites around France.

Overcrowded

I have never written a review before but after 3 amazing weeks in La Pignade, I had to give a shout out about this super site and their amazing entertainment team.  

The location is super, near two villages in forested countryside.  The site is clean, tidy and very safe for kids.  Bikes are handy as they make the trip back up from the village easier!  The beach in the nearest village isn't the best but you don't have to go more than 5km to find amazing beaches.

The pool area is spotless and the lifeguards are very diligent.  The slides are perfect for kids up to 10 but older ones might like a little more action.  

It was however the kids clubs and entertainment staff that will bring us back....big shout out to Tara, Meille, Alexis, Caroline and all the team.....would have no hesitation in recommending this site!

A wonderful experience - perfect for families

We visited in early August and had a very relaxing break.  Our mobile home was about half way back from the pool etc and it was fairly quiet. I think being too close to the entertainment area may have been a bit noisy at night.  The caravan was very well equipped and had everything we needed.  The site is mainly French with a few English, Dutch and other European visitors and everyone was very friendly.  The pool area was brilliant for all the family, very clean and very safe and the children loved the slides.  There were lot of activities to keep everyone entertained.  We also visited La Palmyre Zoo which was very good and  La Rochelle is well worth a visit.   The weather was beautiful and we were very glad we had the air conditioning and the outside terrace.  The activities team were very good during the day, but we found the entertainment in the evening a bit amateurish.  It was entertaining because some of it was so bad! The bar area in the evening was very busy and had a nice atmosphere and the staff were very efficient and friendly.  Beer was good but some of the cocktails didn’t taste very nice.  We tried to book the restaurant a couple of nights but they were always fully booked, so you must have to book very early!  We had to make do with the takeaway menu or cook ourselves.  The takeaway pizza and burgers were very good, but the menu was quite limited.  If you want to eat in Ronce les Bains in the evening it is advisable to book a table rather than just turn up.  

As I mentioned, the caravan had everything we needed but as we had to fully clean it before we left it would have been good to be given some proper cleaning cloths and some cleaning liquid, and a tea towel would have been good too.  It would have been good to have better Wi-Fi and perhaps Sky or at least one British tv channel (although I understand we were not on holiday to watch tv)! 

Overall we had a good holiday.

Relaxing Family holiday

The accommodation was lovely and had everything we needed with a lovely deck to sit on in the evening. The complex was great with a lot of activities during the day and evening and a great pool area for the children to enjoy.

A perfect holiday complex for the family

Traveled as a family of four with two kids aged 3 and 6. Stayed in an excellence caravan having booked direct with Siblu.

Check in was horrific with no space in the car park and no advance check in despite filling in all details (there was a taped off area in reception when we finally got to the front of the huge queue but with no one manning it).  People were all pushing in and it was chaos.

The caravan was decent although the outside area was a bit shabby. Entertainment team and staff were all friendly and delivered well.

Pool complex decent albeit on hot days overly busy and were waiting for sun loungers if went in afternoon.

Pony riding on site but again semi disorganised. Probably 25% English but that’s not a bad thing. 

A good (may be great) family holiday destination which the kids loved but check in made it 3 not 4 stars. 

A week in August

Welcoming staff, very quiet and clean. All the staff very pleasant, stayed at Les charmettes last year and the park was a total contrast, as Les charmettes can be noisy where La Pignade is quieter and more relaxing. Great base beaches only a short drive away and plenty of places to visit. Rochefort is well worth a visit. 

Great place to stay

Booked really last minute, we have found for the first time the Siblu group. 
We did it and had a great holiday. (2 adults, 2 children 11 and 14).
Stayed from Saturday till Saturday. 1 week. 

Getting the key of our 'house/caravan' was very well organized. very quick. 
Explanation about all activities, great. The entertainment team is doing a very great job.
The pools and restaurant at te site is very good. If you need to get some food, the shop at La Pignade is good. You have everything you need.

What stays for us, is the nice atmosphere, the calmness and the great everyday entertainment. 

The pools are very very safe. Guards watching the kids/people. Realy amazing.

We loved it!

Great stay!

Home again from another amazing stay. La Pignade has everything for a lovely family holiday - great pool, easy access to local cycle paths leading to the beaches, markets and towns and a great entertainment programme. We love the close proximity to Ronce-les-Bains which allows for easy walks/cycles into town where there are plenty of bars, shops, restaurants and a few fair games to keep the children happy. Already booked to go back next year!
