The park is primarily residential though it is often presented as a holiday park. In fact for much of the year, apart from late June to early September, it is very quiet as most of the original owners come for a month or two at a time. There are three main languages spoken on the park being French, English and Dutch, and there is an experienced park manager on site all year. The park is open all year round and cleaning and laundry services are available if you rent it out. Pets are allowed on the park for both residents and holiday makers.
