Camping a la Ferme

Moulin du Pommier has a small Camping a la Ferme with a limited number of places.

Camping is possible in 3 different areas
Near the river and waterfall are places for caravan or tents. These places are not recommended for very small children because of the water.
On the plateau there are places for 2 caravans and/or tents. These are on the same level as the toilet facilities, trampoline and play area. This area is best suited for small children.
On the hill there are places under the oak trees and they are only for tents. This area is fine for children but they are a bit more secluded and shady and a little further from the sanitary facilities.
 
Sanitary Facilities
On the plateau you will find the sanitary facilities for those camping on the plateau and hill. There are two each toilets, showers, wash basins and dishwashing sinks. Trash, glass and garbage containers are also located here.  
We also have a small refrigerator-freezer to rent and places for your camping fridges where you can plug them into electricity. There are also 4 electric sockets (max. 5 amp.) located on the plateau near the toilet facilities where you can plug in extension cords to your caravan or campsite. (see tariffs). 
We do not have a chemical waste depot available. You will find in Confolens (10km) a public chemical waste depot.

tentFurnished Tent  
Since 2008 we have a fully furnished, self-catering bungalow tent for 4/5 persons. It is located near the river with a view of the waterfall. There is a fence between the tent and the river so this place is suitable for children. A smaller pup tent is included close to the big tent. This small tent can be used for older children to sleep in or for storing your baggage. There is a large wooden picnic table and a smaller plastic table and chairs. There is a 3 burner stove, refrigerator/freezer, electric lights a double bed with mattress and two camping cots with mattresses. Beds are made when you arrive. All you need to bring is your own towels, clothes and personal things.
