We still have spots available for next summer!
Camping, Maison de Charme, Retraites, Sensi-therapy
Enjoy a wonderful holiday at our mini campsite Le Potager. On our natural site of 2.5 hectares with 6 pitches, a large swimming pool, spacious private pitches with beautiful views, you can completely immerse yourself in the peace and wealth of the Creuse with its variety of plants, birds and game. Be welcome and enjoy!
Deafening silence, space, beautiful views, mountains and hills, cozy country roads, curious cows, cheerful whistling birds, chickens that lay eggs for your breakfast, a rooster that crows, a beautiful spacious spot, a lovely large swimming pool, fresh baguette and croissants. Fruit and vegetables from the vegetable garden, blackberry picking all around.
Your mind and body relax, the year of hard work falls away from you. You don't have to do anything, just enjoy, maybe explore some of the beautiful surroundings, have a nice swim with your children in our pool, swing on one of our swings, read, take a bath or fish in the Creuse river just 5 minutes away, one visit the nice French markets or brocantes, immerse your body in a beautiful lake in the region, enjoy French cuisine, go back in time with your children in an old French castle, watch the beautiful sunrise or sunset, Spotting the Milky Way and shooting stars in the dazzling starry sky, stories that arise around a cozy campfire in the evening (with marshmallows ;-).
Fortunately, the Creuse is still one of the least populated areas and the most authentic part of France, even in high season. If you want to see how the real French live, you can see it here.
We are Bas, Marike, Annabel (18), Diederik (16) and Ferdinand (13) and Omi Charlotte and we have a mini campsite with 6 places on which we have three fully equipped retro trailer tents and a few places for tents, campers and caravans available.
We take the time for you, but we also respect your need for peace and space.
Because freedom, peace, space, a good atmosphere, conviviality and of course being able to enjoy the beautiful nature is what our mini campsite stands for!
We have six spacious camping spots with lots of privacy. You cannot see your fellow camper because there are high broom bushes, but also a lot of space between them. We have a total of 9 places, 6 of which we can rent out simultaneously. There are two places for caravan/camper. The rest is suitable for all types of tents and trailer tents.
There is electricity at every site and there are water points spread across the site.
In high season the minimum rental for campers and caravans is 5 days.
Trailer tents
We have three cozy and fully equipped retro trailer tents for 4 people available with beautiful views.
These have 2 double beds (140x200 cm), one or two sub-tents with a single mattress, fine duvets and pillows, fully equipped kitchen with Nespresso coffee machine, kettle and refrigerator.
Bed linen included. We also provide kitchen linen. Shower towels can be rented if necessary.
Are you ready for a special camping experience? Want to camp out in the wild for a few nights on an idyllic lawn in the middle of the forest? Without water, without electricity, without a "normal" toilet?
This is possible in our 1.5 hectare forest next to the campsite and where deer, wild boars, badgers, foxes and various types of birds regularly pass by!
You are the only one there and can enjoy the peace and sounds of nature. You bring your own camping equipment. We provide a shower bag, jerry can and an environmentally friendly version of a chemical toilet (Porta Potti).
All three of our rental trailer tents have the same layout. They are equipped with all amenities, such as:
Nice mattresses, nice duvets and pillows, bed linen (the beds are already made upon arrival), kitchen linen, cutlery (including cheese slicer:-)), crockery, Nespresso machine, kettle and refrigerator with freezer, pans, gas bottle, washing up bowl with washing up brush, garden set with solar table lamp and cozy flower, relaxing chair, clothes racks and compartments, waste bin with two garbage bags, dustpan and dustpan, pee bucket with toilet paper, lamps, battery-powered night light, laundry basket, clothesline or rack with clothes pegs, jerry can for water.

Bread service
A delicious baguette or croissant for breakfast every morning? You can place your order and we will pick it up from the bakery the next day. You will receive the order list upon arrival.
Washer dryer
You can use our washing machine and dryer including detergent.
Freezer
We have a small freezer available that everyone can use to freeze cooling blocks.
Swimming pool
We have a lovely large swimming pool (chlorine) of 10x5 meters with solar outdoor shower and comfortable sun loungers. The swimming pool is not heated, but in the spring and autumn we have the covers on so that the water is heated by the sun and does not cool down.
Sanitary
Our bathroom has a toilet, shower and sink. We (just like you) love clean sanitary facilities and clean this bathroom several times a day. We also replace the bath mat and towel daily. We also have a hair dryer to use.
We also have two compost toilets spread across the site. One in the stable and one in the greenhouse. This way you can experience the real outdoors even more :-).
If you want to rinse off without shampoo, you can use the solar shower by the pool.
The washing up area is in the utility room near the bathroom. We also have a cold water washing up area at the back of the site.
Are you surprised that everything goes well with only one permanent shower and one permanent toilet for all those guests? Yes, that certainly goes well. It is only a small campsite (6 places) and most people completely relax here, so sometimes waiting a little while is no longer a problem :-).
Shared meal
During the high season we plan a shared meal every week. There is also a regular fries evening!
Dogs are welcome
Do you have a dog or two that you would like to take with you on holiday? That's possible at our mini campsite! Maximum two dogs. They must be kept on a leash, because our chickens run free, we have three cats who spend a lot of time outside, three rabbits, a guinea pig, two sheep and our own dog Coco is also there (she loves guests, because they throw things like that). fun with the ball ;-).
Common area
We have transformed the barn into a communal space where people can play games, do crafts, read and take shelter when it rains :-). We collect some craft materials throughout the year, so the children don't have to be bored. We also have a basket with outdoor games such as badminton, beach ball, football, basketball and kubb and even a ping-pong table!
Yoga with Corine
Would you like to join a yoga class in the morning? Which can! Once a week Corine comes to give yoga lessons in Dutch in the forest. When the weather is less nice, it is inside the shed. You can also take additional yoga classes at her domaine, 15 minutes from the campsite.
Campfire
There is regularly a cozy communal campfire in the evening where we always provide some delicious marshmallows!

There are many fun things to do in the area, such as horse riding with Alain, swimming, canoeing, fishing, brocantes, markets, nice restaurants, climbing parks, castles, gardens, wolf park, animal park, labyrinth, cycling, performances, museums, etc.
We will give you an overview of the best activities upon arrival.
Arrival meal
Suppose you have been driving all day and arrive at the campsite tired. You will probably need your time and remaining energy to unpack or set up your place to sleep.
We can prepare a delicious meal (main course and dessert) for you in consultation. How nice is that!
Please let us know in time.
