  • Loire Valley family campsite five minutes’ walk from Savigny-en-Véron
  • On the Loire à Vélo route; Château de Villandry half an hour’s drive
  • Sports courts and play area; snack bar in high season and grocery shop
Whether you’re after some Loire Valley château-bagging or you’re keen to cycle the Loire à Vélo cycle route, plumping for Camping La Fritillaire is a good option – because from here you can do either… or indeed both. Five minutes’ walk from riverside Savigny-en-Véron in the Indre-et-Loire, this family-friendly site is also in pole position for hiking in the Loire-Anjou-Touraine Regional Nature Park. However you spend your holiday, you shouldn't have to worry too much about food; stock up on goodies from the grocery shop to grill on communal barbecues or make up a picnic and eat al fresco. The terraced bar (high season only) opens for breakfast (order the night before) and should keep daytime snack attacks at bay. There’s plenty to keep everyone occupied on site too; kids can have fun at the play area or jumping around on the bouncy castle, you can have a basketball knock-around and play volleyball, pétanque or ping-pong, and borrow board games from reception for quieter moments. A bit of practical stuff: handy facilities for families include hot showers, laundry amenities (these incur a small charge) and a baby-changing area.

Electric grass and earth pitch

Liked Lovely shaded pitches, very spacious. Was able to order fresh bread and pastries from reception for collection the next morning which were delicious and baked fresh on site! Sanitary facilities and washing up facilities were excellent, very clean. The owner was very kind helping me with my limited French, and also provided us with some great information on cycle routes in the area, which we used more than once. We would definitely come back here - we loved this site!

Disliked Nothing.

Electric grass and earth pitch

Liked Quiet site (except for temporary drainage works) with ample space and hookups. Central shower/toilet block modern and well maintained. Hosts very friendly and helpful. English spoken. Small bar in reception area where pizzas can also be ordered. Bouncy castle and play area for young families. Lovely quiet lake next door with another children's play area. Lake frogs serenade in the evenings. Easy drive to Chinon. Easy cycling to nearby chateaux and voie vert cycle route.

Disliked Close to a lake so mozzies can be a pain. Take repellent.

Lovely place run by a lovely couple very helpful couldn't do enough…

Dave R.

Non-electric grass and earth pitch

Liked This is one of the best sites we have ever visited. Level grass pitch with electric hook-up. Lovely welcome. Fantastic facilities, including a bar/snack where we had our four-a-clock beer each day. Flat cycle routes in all directions to interesting historic towns. Fresh bread every day, and only a 300m walk into the village for boulangerie and restaurant. Would definitely return.

Disliked All pitches under trees, which is great in hot weather, but in rain the the drip-drip keeps you awake in the night.

Local attractions

So, those Loire Valley castles. Admire the formal gardens at stately Renaissance-style Château de Villandry (half an hour’s drive), and take in the Old Master paintings at Château de Chenonceau (an hour), with its striking setting spanning the Cher River. Saumur (25 minutes) has an impressive turreted castle and is also home to ornate 17th-century tapestries in the Romanesque-era Notre-Dame-de-Nantilly church. When you’ve had your cultural fill, go Anjou wine tasting at one of several vineyards within half an hour’s drive. Kids need some downtime? Treat them to encounters with cows, goats and ponies at Véron Ecomuseum (five minutes), or join them for the Escape Game and other fun activities at the mighty hilltop Royal Fortress fortress at Chinon (15 minutes). For more active pursuits, go river fishing on the Loire (five minutes), cycle the long-distance Loire à Vélo route from your pitch or have a splash around in the municipal swimming pool at Avoine (10 minutes).
