Memorable no-fly half term break - loved it so much we will return

Review of Le Camp
5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed Jun 5, 2022via mobile
Stayed here for May half term with two kids (3 and 6) and we loved loved loved Le Camp! Stunning swimming pool, fantastic hosts, so much to do in the local area (if you can leave the pool!). We will definitely be back!
We travelled by train from London (4h TGV from Paris to Toulouse!) and hired a car in Toulouse. The journey was really easy, helped by the fact we didn't need to bring too much with us - we made good use of the on-site washing machine, kitchen equipment and toys and games at Le Camp.
Weather was a bit mixed (20C on arrival climbing to 30+C) but the tents were cosy on the cooler nights with the stack of blankets supplied and also cool on the warmer nights.
We stayed in Massai Mara, sharing the bathroom facilities, although a bit of a walk away were spotlessly clean at all times.
We all loved it so much. Really the first holiday in a long time that we've both been able to switch off. We will return!
Date of stay: May 2022
Room Tip: Night time wildlife can be noisy. Whilst it didn't bother me, the other half did have a problem...

Thank you so much for you review! We had such a great May half term with you guys and the other families - we hope to see you again :)
Also, thank you for the travel tips for future guests. Green travel is becoming more and more important to Le Camp guests and as the Brits return post-covid they are all asking about no-fly options.

      We loved Le Camp! It's the perfect place for relaxing and a bit of peace and quiet. We enjoyed star gazing at night with nothing but the sound of chirping crickets.
      Claire and Nigel made us feel very welcome and were very helpful, especially when it comes to giving tips on activities in the area.
      We enjoyed the Sunday market in Saint Antonin Noble Val, the evening market in the beautiful town of Najac, the canoeing on the l'Aveyron, a few hikes through the hills, the food truck in Arnac and most of all the natural pool at Le Camp. Our 14-year old daughters made great friends at Le Camp.
      Claire is always in a great mood, even early in the morning, when she brought us coffee and hot chocolate every morning. We also enjoyed the pastries she supplies for breakfast.
      We would recommend Le Camp to everyone and wish Claire and Nigel all the best.
      Stan, Evelyn, Nina and Rose

      The safari tents were beautifully decorated and well appointed. I don’t even know where to start on the pool, it is tranquil and relaxing but has an aspect of adventure. As you swim nature thrives around you and there is no feeling better than to dive into the crisp water on a hot day. Nigel and Claire treated all the guests like family, suggesting nearby markets and activities.
      We are already booked for next year!

      Me my wife and our daughter had an excellent and relaxing time here in early September. Claire and Nigel were so accommodating and helpful and made sure we had everything we needed.
      The setting is perfect for kids and families with so much to do. Friendly animals. Love the goats! Kitchen is extremely well appointed. Look forward to coming back with friends one day.

      Great place for relaxed family retreat. Claire and Nigel are wonderful people who really made our stay pleasurable. Clean kitchen, bathrooms and tents. Pool well maintained, clean and lovely change from standard swimming pools. Simple, low key, friendly, small, respectful environment to spent two weeks with our 2,6 and 8 year old boys

      Oh for another two weeks (or months...) in this unique environment. My expectations were high but entirely exceeded. The environment is perfectly balanced - privacy plus the opportunity to be sociable in an unforced way; wilderness and a whole lot of comfort; warmly minded by Claire, Nigel and Seya but without intrusion. The surrounding area has a huge amount of charm and a great selection of activities and places to visit, but no crowds to blunt the experience of discovery. Odd thing to say, but all of us, adults and children, left feeling entirely relaxed and like we had learned a lot. It is of absolutely no surprise that return visits are the norm.
