Can I arrive after the reception is closed?
If you have a reservation, after the closing time of the reception, a night attendant will welcome you and accompany you to your pitch or accommodation.
If you do not have a reservation, you can still obtain a camping/ motorhome pitch from the night attendant, until as late as 11p.m. (subject to availability at the time).
In both cases, you will need to go to the reception on the following morning to do the formal check-in with your passport or Identity Card.
