Flooded or Waterlogged Site Report

dennisd

We're at Camping de Tournus. The site is heavily flooded with approx 50% of pitches unavailable. Lots turned away last night. I can't confirm it but I've been told that Camping Pont de Vaux is flooded and closed.

Ok thanks for your help I think we will try Baune  They won't take booking as its too late. If not I have ACSI guide so hopefully we'll find somewhere - just might leave a bit earlier than we normally do as we don't tend to rush.

Does anyone have news of current state of pitches on sites in the Dordogne? Thinking up moving up from near Millau on Monday to la Fage near, Montignac.

Sorry, can't help with Dordogne but we are planning to move to Millau Sunday from here near Avignon. What's it like there?

Been here at Les Peupliers in Rivière-sur-Tarn for a week. Never known it so quiet. No problems with pitches. By river but not too high. Weather cool unless sun is out. Any rain has been mainly overnight. Weather looking to improve from tomorrow but for
how long??

We have travelled up from Austria over last two weeks and no sites affected we have been on in Austria or Germany go
here for recommendations on our latest trip which is just ending. In the Black Forest try Trend in centre of Black Forest it stands on a hill so no flooding.

We went to Camping Vierwaldstattersee on the edge of Lake Lucerne for an overnighter and after navigating through a very busy rush hour Lucerne arrived and found  it was waterlogged and the owner seemed very down beat and fed up, but to his credit he pointed
us in the direction of another site which turned out to be a corker.

What I don't understand is the unwillingness of some site owners to do something about it. We are currently at a site in Verdun, our third visit. Every time we have been here we have experienced heavy rain. Had the owners been proactive in putting some stone
chipping down on at least some of the pitches we would have least had a clean pitch even if still very wet. What we have got is a sodden muddy pitch.

Couldn't agree more DK, here at Lac de Maine some pitches are gravel h/s while the rest are grass with the first 8-10 feet gravel. The idea being you park with your front(drive) wheels on the gravel if its been heavy rain. I wish I could post photos so I
could show everyone the state of the pitch next to us. Its quite clear that whom ever was on that pitch, didn't park that way but went more than halfway down the pitch, there are now huge furrows where they got stuck, you can see where they had been parked
and then attempted to drive off the pitch.  But as you say if the ground is soft why don't they put some gravel down to firm it up, given the amount of motorhomes around these days you would think it would be wise.

Had no problems at le Crotoy  Aire and the excellent municple at La Fleche, the latter is a river side site as well and was still firm ground.

We've stayed at Brantome, ACSI 1638, pitches all ok; Pujols near Villeneuve sur Lot, ACSI 1691 - pitches in the middle were soft, we were told which ones to avoid, others ok, but soft in places.  We got on and off with no problems, as did other MHs.  On
the coast at Marseillan Plage, Beach Garden, pitches ok too.

Weather forecast for the next 10 days in Millau HERE It looks as if it will be dry for at least 10 days even though some days will be cloudy.  Not too bad considering what the rest of France is getting.

Anyone know what the sites are like in Ouistreham, we are getting a ferry there on Tuesday morning so spending Monday night there, I think they have had a fair bit of rain wondering what state they are in, don't want to get bogged down on our final night.

I think a lot depends on how these sites drain, we are at a site on Lake Como which has seen some spectacular rainful but cars and vans are moving around on the grass without a hint of sinking or even leaving the tiniest of ruts and Thursday evening seen
about 13 hours of continuous heavy rain .

Leaving for the Red Bull Ring  via Cologne, and Regensburg (Bad Abbach) both riverside sites any worries on flooding in Northern and South West Germany? Also any reports from South West Austria ie Graz area

I know that you won't be using Les Pommiers but the pitches there were perfect on Tuesday so presumably they are ok on other
sites.

 thanks for that, it would be ironic that after 11 weeks away we get stuck on the last night. Les Pommiers was very soft
when we stayed there in November hence my asking. Don't have a problem with the site itself just the price when the facilities are so bad, I thought the new owners were going to sort it before the main season began but it appears not until winter now.
