L'Orée de l'Océan

8.6 out of 10, Excellent, (7)
"Camping agréable. Les bungalows sont toutefois très rapprochés les uns des autres. Manque quelques brise- vue pour des longs séjours. Personnels très accueillants. Nous avons adorés la piscine avec les tobogans, qui était déja chauffée en ce début de saison et la pataugeoire est très agréable/ aménagements très mignons. La proximité avec la boulangerie de qualité est également appréciable."
