  • Simple wooded site on the banks of the river La Manse
  • On-site fishing activities; half an hour's drive from the river Loire
  • Sheep in the meadows and tree plantations for honey production on site
This shaded site on the banks of a river is a mighty nifty base for exploring the Loire Valley... The basic but well-kept facilities are surrounded by a busy and pioneering farm at Camping Le Moulin de Saussaye. It's surrounded by many trees, where agroforestry plots are used to organically sow plants used in the honey production process, such as flower fallows, sunflowers and buckwheat. It's five minutes' drive from here to the pleasant village of L'Île-Bouchard, cut in two by the Vienne river and home to a bakery, supermarkets and plenty of eating places. The winding river trail from Le Moulin de Saussaye, meanwhile, leads to the handsome village of Crissay-sur-Manse, with its white limestone cottages and ruined 15th-century castle; in summer, the river is pleasant so it's possible to go canoeing there. If you prefer to zip around the countryside on four wheels, the historic towns of Tours, Angers and Saumur can all be reached in under an hour and a half's drive. Sensible sorts should also take time to consider what else the Loire valley is famed for: most happily, the farm is minutes away from the Loire's fab 800-kilometre wine route.

What customers say

This picturesque, peaceful campsite boasts large pitches, many with shade, and friendly, helpful owners. Guests enjoy the natural surroundings, the characterful working watermill, and abundant wildlife, including bats and birds. Facilities are generally reported as clean and well-maintained, with hot showers. Some reviewers mention a lack of dedicated chemical waste disposal. While close to amenities and ideal for cycling, some note that sanitary facilities can be a little far from pitches, and one reviewer experienced overnight noise from the surrounding area.

Liked Décor côté acceuil et sanitaires (côté moulin) très mignon.
Sanitaires spacieux, bien entretenus "cosy" Et même avec un petit coin aménagé pour patienter agréablement.
Jolie idée de laisser les excédents du potager à la discrétion des campeurs.
Je ne suis restée qu'une journée, camping sans fioriture (pas de jeux pour les enfants... Etc) mais emplacement très agréable, boisé, avec étang et rivière...
En résumé calme et bucolique.

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked A really nice quiet site, we could set up anywhere. Lots of shade. The owners were most polite. Toilets and showers were fine with a good washing up area. There is a bakery 5 minutes cycle ride away next to a supermarket and petrol station. The village is 5 minutes cycle ride away from the site. A good base for exploring the Loire Chateaus. There are several vineyards in the area all wanting to sell you wine. Lots of wild birds, we even saw a kingfisher on the river. A great place for star gazing too!

Disliked Nothing

From the manager: Bonjour,
merci pour vos commentaires et votre note..
Par contre votre commentaire sur le manque d'arbre ? je penses que ce n'est pas chez nous. En effet notre camping est bordé par une rivière et un ruisseau. Il y a beaucoup d'arbres sur les bords et à l'intérieur du camping. Ils sont grands et notre camping a la réputation d'être très ombragé. Et il n'y a pas de plantation de petits sapins.

ello,
Thank you for your comments and your rating.
However, regarding your comment about the lack of trees—I think you might be mistaken about the location. Our campsite is actually bordered by a river and a stream. There are plenty of trees along the banks and throughout the site; they are large, and our campsite is known for being very shady. There are no rows of small fir trees here.

Local attractions

You can't come to the Loire and not look at a château or two... Villandry is half an hour's drive away and an absolute stunner, specifically for its extensive Renaissance gardens. Château Amboise (an hour), built on a spur overlooking the Loire, was so splendidly well appointed that King Charles VII pinched it off its owner and set up residence there. Also an hour away, Château Chenonceau arguably tops the lot, built on arches straddling the Cher river. Saumur (50 minutes), like most Loire towns, is a lovely spot to wander and window shop; it's also home to the famed Cadre Noir riding school, whose balletic displays of horsemanship draw crowds from all over the world. For something out of this world, meanwhile, the digital magic of Futuroscope, a theme park like no other, is just outside Poitiers (50 minutes). After the châteaux, see how the other half lived in the troglodyte village near Rochemenier (an hour). Inhabited until the 1930s, this rock village has subterranean farms and a hidden chapel to explore. Mind your head. From rare housing to rare inhabitants, ZooParc Beauval (an hour) is home to red pandas and white tigers; the sea lions lay on a splendid daily show outdone only by the birds, five hundred of whom – including owls and pelicans, storks and parrots – swoop over your heads in the avian amphitheatre: best bring an umbrella…
