Camping Le Lido — Hotel in Fontainebleau

On arrival, impressions were good. A clean and modern office, and a friendly lady booked us in for our 1 night stop over (in a tent). However, the pitches were very wet and under thick pine trees. The toilet block was very dated, not that clean and the worlds smallest showers! I am not a large person, but even for me it was pretty cramped, making changing a bit of a debacle! ||The site was busy enough, with mostly British and Dutch campers, who seemed to be staying longer than 1 night. ||However, the worst aspect of this campsite was the staff. We went out to the local supermarket to get some tea to cook, and when returning, the barrier did not open. Not having been provided with an access card because we were only stating 1 night (apparently we were not worthy), I went in to the office. I waited a while, eventually someone appeared. They said they would open the barrier. I went back to the car, and nothing happened. My partner beeped the horn, and still the barrier did not open. He then went inside and asked again, and then it was opened. This was the final cherry on top of our already jaded impressions of the campsite.||Oh, and to top it off, the campsite is 200m away from a train line that has large, very noise freight trains that run through the night, as we later discovered. Safe to say, we make a quick get away the next morning and headed for a 5 star Castels site on the way home!||We would not recommend, even for a...

After the positive reviews we read before coming on different websites, we came her very positive about it location to Fontainbleau.|The location is good for a lovely walk over the river and a glass of wine next to the Seine in the little bars along the river. in the opposite direction we could walk to the train into Fontainebleau and then a bus up to the Chateau. All good points.|However, when we arrived there was no one speaking English on reception ( I realise this is our issue not theirs!), we were told to just drive into the Motorhome area and choose our own pitch. When we drove in we could see the Mini Golf and Tennis courts all covered in leaves and unused. |When we got to the area for Motorhomes and caravans, we could not even spot where the pithces actually were, we could see the taps and electric points but the area was so overgrown it was ridiculous. We went to look at the showers and toilets and other pitches before we actually chose where to park - we almost asked for our money back.|We asked if we could go on other pitches which looked better and well kempt but was told we had to take out motorhome to the overgrown area.|The showers and toilets were cold and shabby.|The whole site just very run down, the childrens play area covered in leaves and debris from the trees.|Pizzas were available in the evening from reception and bread in the mornings, but our greatest disappointment in a site in a month of travelling...

This is a well-located site for Fontainebleau in particular.||The site itself is largely wooded with a nice pool and centrally located facilities.||The welcome we received on arrival was pretty poor but it may just have been an off-day for the lady concerned and so we will not be too condemning. However, we had had a response to our emailed request several months prior to our arrival, stating that they knew of a vet that we could use for our pet passport, and yet when this was mentioned this on arrival, including showing them the email that they had sent, we were totally dismissed with 'You've have to look for one.'||Whilst noting things to commend this site for - the pool, the location, etc. there are a number of issues that really spoiled our stay:|1. The pitches - most pitches suffer terribly from either being extremely dusty, which is of course unavoidable in consistently hot weather on well-used pitches, to being muddy (the horrible clinging type that sets hard on shoes, wheels, dogs paws, etc.) soiling the inside of your caravan extraordinarily. Awful.|2. The chemical toilet disposal facility is in a disgusting state and had clearly not been cleaned for a very long time. Stomach wrenching indeed.||A...
