" I love: Thoroughly enjoyed our return trip to Camping Venise Verte, and highly recommend this site for location and amenities. We will return. "
" I love: The location is excellent, very nice bar and restaurant although the restaurant was closed. The reception was run by a brilliant, friendly and helpful young lady who always met you with a smile. She also appeared to run the bar and shop too! She is a real credit to the campsite. "
" I love: We loved this site within walking distance of Coulon where you can take boat trips through the waterways. The young lady at reception could not have been more friendly or helpful. The company is lucky to have her. Compared to other staff at other sites she is a gem! Loved the site also. Huge pitch and lots of shade. Visited the bar in the evening which was lovely. We would definitely return if in the area. "
" I love: We enjoy staying here 3 times over the years past.Very tranquil picture post card area "
" I love: Our original plan was to stay for 7 nights before moving further south. However, due to a problem with our towcar, we ended up spending over 5 weeks at this lovely campsite. Can't think of a nicer place to be 'stuck' at and the care and friendliness shown to us by the owners and staff were exceptional. We can't thank them enough and look forward to returning next year. "
