We got there at 5pm just over 3 weeks ago and there was plenty of room.
Or would have been had there not been a rudy great Palace taking up so much room

 

[Lenny HB]

I went for the first time a few weeks back and thought it was a nice stop over for the night and an easier drive that day than Strepy where we usually go.

Probably won’t go again as I didn’t feel safe when a rough old Bailey van turned up, lowered the tone of the site.
See a few vans pack up and leave

Was only just over 2 weeks, the 7th

 

[orridge]

Never seen it full and now they have the overflow area behind also.

 

[Jo662]

We were there a few weeks ago and arrived about 4pm and there was plenty of room, we even got a spot over looking the marina. We find it's best to arrive at Aires around 3-4pm to stand a chance of getting a spot on busier ones..

Feels like 2 months 26th we will be there so a day short of 3 weeks. Probably 2 weeks shorts of how long we thought we would be away this time due to circumstances.

I should hope so too.

 

[WESTY66]

I should hope so too.

Make the most of it as 4-5 years I’m done, THEN I might have a Tootle round France.






Nah, what am I thinking of, why would one waste any of their 90/180 days in France

Germany is not bad but France has a lot more going for it. Even more Motorhome friendly than Germany, better weather, better food, beaches in the warm bits. The only thing it lacks is all the naked ladies you get in Germany at the beach, lakeside & in the sauna.

Of course it never happens unless there’s pictures….

In Germany it happens everywhere. Occasionally see signs on beaches "textile beach" it means you are supposed to keep your cossie on but Germans still don't bother. In one swimming pool/sauna complex in Germany I had to go down to the locker room to get some cash to pay for the sauna, wife waiting in her cossi, guy comes out from behind the bar and tugs at her costume pointing out they are not allowed in saunas.

No, still a freebie night. Wasn't crowded last week. 3 vans on Quay front when we arrived about 16:15. Quay and grass part both about 30% full by the morning.
