Not pleased with our stay.

We didn't really enjoyed our stay in Lou Pantaï.. It al started when we where checking in: "First you pay and then I will give you the information". Okayyy.. Not a "hello, welcome at Lou ¨Pantaï", no it was rather rude. After we payed we got the information and we looked for a camping where dogs were... allowed. She checked out our dog and she said: "big dogs sleep outside". Okay again, why didn't you tell us in advance? plus what is the difference? Little dogs are more likely to jump on beds and sofas than our dog (btw it's a bernese mountain dog). Not very dog-friendly. Then she asked for the dog's papers but they where very good packed away so I told her that I would bring them to her as soon as possible (during unpacking). No smile, not friendly.. At that point all four of us wanted to leave. So it continuous.. "you're vacation will not be easy because your dog can't stay unattended in the chalet and most beaches don't allow dogs". Bam bam bam, it sounded like thunder-strokes, it just kept coming. So we went to our chalet. It was the first in row and not very big but okay. The bed was very hard, so hard that non of us slept well. Also very warm because we were the first in row where the sun got up, it became a sauna! I forgot to mention that when we left to check out chalet the woman at the check in had to reply in a very frustrated tone "don't forget the papers of the dog", Yeah, I know already!! Now we had to find a solution for the dog, luckily we had a long cable and we bounded round a tree, but it was certainly not perfect for a dog, because there is a terras and the dog gets stuck with his cable of jumping on and off of it. It's a camping with many, many rules (swimwear, showering before swimming,...) and you have the feeling that you can't be spontaneous any more. I talked with a family that was also staying and asked about their feelings towards the camping. She told me that she also talked to somebody else and that both of them didn't feel very welcome because thet also got the same message at checking in "first you pay NOW". I told about mine frustrations, she talked about here.. I was happy to hear that other people also had doubts about this camping and that it wasn't just us. Also at checking out, NOBODY askes you about how your vacation was or wishing you a safe ride home. To end with, we were also not happy about the checking out procedures. The campsite closes between 22-8 o'clock, so you can't leave with your car. In other campings they leave it open on days people are leaving or you get a sort of button with which you can open it yourself. Here it is not possible, so if you want to leave at night (so you wan't get stuck in traffic), you have to pack everything, put your car unattended outside and they keep the deposit for cleaning and afterwards they will check if it is okay and maybe you get your deposit back. That's why we decided to leave very early at 19:30.
It's far from the beach and there is no shop at the camping.
We will certainly never go back!
