  • Quiet, dog-friendly site on the banks of the Indre river with woods
  • Walking distance to the Indre à Vélo route; 20 minutes’ drive to Tours
  • Shops a short walk away; bicycle rental on site
Castles, animal parks, vineyards, gastronomy and hikes… it’s easy to list off the sweet parts of the Indre-et-Loire and handily, Camping la Vallee de I’Indre is just the place to soak it all in. Owned by the friendly Julie and Lionel, this Indre Valley site is all ready for relaxation with wooded surroundings and the Indre river flowing through the foot of the site (full of pretty fish, by the way). It’s pretty hush at this three-hectare site, which makes for some quality relaxation for family, friends or couples. At the same time, you won’t have to pass up on the city life, as Tours is only 20 minutes' drive away. As for shops and eateries on a smaller scale, the centre of the local village is under 10 minutes’ walk away. Thanks to the site's central location, you’ll be well-based for both cultural and sporting activities… so some of your excursions might include castles, animal parks and leisure parks. Wine aficionados will be happy to find that as well as all of those vineyards around the region, the site has one of its own. You’ll also be able to get your hands on a rented bicycle at the site, a simple way to whizz off and familiarise yourself with all the local sights.

What customers say

This is a well-regarded campsite praised for its riverside location, proximity to the village and amenities, and friendly staff. Pitches are generally spacious and well-maintained. Facilities, including showers and toilets, are frequently described as clean with plentiful hot water. Whilst many enjoyed the pool and on-site food options, some found the pool overcrowded and Wi-Fi patchy. A significant number of reviews mention mosquitoes, particularly near the river. Some experienced issues with staff or unexpected deposits for private bathrooms.

Leighton M.

Electric grass pitch

Liked Very good facilities, clean and modern. Close to a supermarket. Swimming pool and snacks bar restaurant for delicious burgers and pizzas.

Disliked We were directly opposite the outdoor stage where the kids howled to karaoke all evening. (We're just not into that sort of entertainment and our pitch happened to be close - other folk will not mind it).

Sarah P.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked The staff, the chilled nature of the site, the cleanliness, the town has everything! We the pool - one of the best we have found for capable but not strong swimmers. We came last year and have noticed the improvements they are making to the site. It is 4 hours from Cherbourg so a great first stop for a holiday camping around France.

Disliked Nothing! Second time here and will come back

Electric grass pitch

Liked The on site bar / restaurant had a good choice of food & drinks. Pitches were great size & facilities were always clean & tidy! If you can get a riverside pitch, do! The view is stunning. The town is very pretty & walkable from the site. Would love to return! Unfortunately the castle was closed when we were there.

Disliked Nothing!

Local attractions

Sometimes you just want to stick close to your nest and that’s more than okay here… Montbazon (10 minutes’ walk) has a small fortress and it’s the gateway to a fair few walks, including the riverside Indre à Vélo route and The Way of Saint James. A simple car or bike ride can go a long way too, whether that's over to the Arboretum de la Martinière (10 minutes’ drive), laser games at Laser Game Evolution Tours (15 minutes), the family-friendly rides at Lulu Parc (20 minutes), the Château de Candé (10 minutes) or canoeing and kayaking on the Val de l'Indre (five minutes). Of course, there's a whole league of castles around too, especially the splendid Château de Villandry (25 minutes). There's no shortage of bicycle rentals and bike tours either (or the more unusual go-kart tours) and it’s no surprise when you consider all the beauty spots in the Loire Valley. Where to whisk out the wheels? Perhaps the Cave of Goupillières (25 minutes) for a Touraine cavern? Amboise (40 minutes) for castles and Da Vinci’s former home? While hiking and biking stick to the ground, you’ll take on the treetops on the obstacle courses at Gadawi Park (15 minutes). As for animals, there’s the Safari Train (40 minutes) and ZooParc de Beauval (50 minutes).
