From the central wood shack, I could see little wooden tracks leading out into the wood in different directions. Out came Olivier, the guy who runs the place, whom I've been liaising with for my reservation. Barely in his 30s, I think, he looks like someone who embraces a life of 'la bohême' to me. He sports long brown curly hair tied in a pony tail, and unshaven chin. I imagined meeting Jack Kerouac in person, the author and protagonist of the book, "On The Road". It's my new book companion on the road.
Griffon Adventure campground is a communal paradise for those who want to get away from city beat and consumerism. It's a nice break not to see heavy recreational campers anywhere on the site. Even water and electricity is a rare treat. We washed our dishes by pumping water, same with toilet (though I simply just pee-ed in the wild - that's what nature is for). The luxury we had was warm and strong running water for our shower. That won me over in a heartbeat.
Our little site is, appropriately named Panaromix, sheltered by pine trees, peaking out to a panaromic view of the sea, with a campfire clearing to look at the stars. The best part of the campground is the communal playground, which consists of a bar, ping pong table, barbecue pit and terrace with two hammocks overlooking the sea. I was in love with the place the moment I got in the swinging hammock.
On google map, here we were, camping under the stars by the sea...nearly at the end of land at L'Anse Au Griffon.
