Beau Rivage, Navarrenx

[Robtel]

Anyone here visited this site recently? It gets excellent reviews elsewhere but would be interested to hear the views of anyone on here who has actually stayed on the site. Would appreciate your general opinion on the site, access to and from it plus any info on the surrounding area.
Thanks

Hi Rob-T
Spent five nights on this site four weeks ago, all facilities are spotless as is the site. Ice cream, wines etc. on site with an occasional pizza night. The owners extremely welcoming and helpful.
On our visit mostly British caravanners etc. sorry but we do prefer a wider mix of nationalities.
Pitches on the lower level look on the tight side, we were on the top level which we preferred.
The town is only a few minutes walk away with a couple of "Bakers" and a selection of shops bars and restaurants, to us a lovely spot and yes we would certainly visit again.
Almost forgot to mention, access all straightforward.

Hi Rob-T,
You will know that I have responded elsewhere, but for the sake of other Francophiles on this forum:-
We stayed at this site for two nights towards the end of May this year on our way back from Andalucia to Calais. It is a very pleasant site, well kept and well run by British owners. It is delightfully situated between the walls of Navarrenx and the river. Navarrenx is one of the 'Bastide' towns, originally a northern outpost of Navarre, and well worth exploring. Access to the site is fine, although you need to follow carefully the direction signs around the town. There is a mix of grass and hardstanding pitches in terraces - the hardstandings have full service facilities. When we stayed, there were quite a few long-term Brits in residence.
Do take up a recommendation from the campsite owners for a meal at the 'Auberge du Bois', just outside the town - 5 course meal plus wine for 10 euros each! (you don't have any choice, but it was all good!)
Campsite, town, area and restaurant all fully recommended.
Cheers
Paul R T

Thanks again Paul. Personal views from folks who have actually been there are, I believe, 10 times better than any brochure or website info.
