In 1992, Denis de Marville – the father of the current director, Eric de Marville – took over and developed it. The outdoor swimming pool, minigolf and the first mobile homes are installed. In 2007, the campsite had twenty-five mobile homes which were beginning to take over from caravans and tents. The following years were marked by financial difficulties. The association can no longer invest and leaves the reins to the specialist Capfun, in 2017. The revolution begins and accelerates.
