  • Family site on the edge of Mamers next to a pool and swimming lake
  • A 35-minute drive from Alençon and 55 minutes from Le Mans
  • A short walk from shops, restaurants, a sports ground and mini golf
Take a good long look at this lovely setting on the edge of Mamers, next to a swimming lake and a public pool… and then take a look at that wider map, which has Parc naturel régional du Perche on one side and Forêt de Perseigne on the other side. That’s Camping Les Portes du Perche for you. Conveniently positioned within walking distance of the town’s shops, restaurants and other amenities, it’s also well-based for all sorts of outdoors pursuits. Where to begin? First, get to know all the little pieces in the immediate vicinity. The site is next to a free, covered public swimming pool and a supervised swimming pond. There’s also a multi-sports ground and play areas for children a short walk away. For a fee, horse-riding, tennis and miniature golf are accessible around the lake. And as a bonus, the town centre is just 15 minutes’ walk away. Further afield, tackle the hiking trails in Forêt de Perseigne (around 20 minutes’ drive away) or cycle on established local greenways. If you’d rather explore on horseback, there’s an equestrian centre 200 metres from the site. At the crossroads of the A11 and A28 motorways, the site is well-positioned for getting to other sublime destinations in Pays de la Loire. Camping Les Portes du Perche is half an hour’s drive from Alençon and 55 minutes from Le Mans.

What customers say

This is a peaceful, well-laid-out site with spacious, often shaded pitches, located close to the town and adjacent to lakes. Staff are frequently described as friendly and helpful. While many appreciate the clean and quiet atmosphere, a recurring concern is the dated state of the toilet and shower blocks, with frequent mentions of missing toilet seats, toilet paper, and soap. Some guests found the site to be lacking in on-site amenities like a functioning cafe or shop, and Wi-Fi can be unreliable. Despite these points, many guests would recommend and return to the site.

Liked Nice, quiet site in good location. The town was a pleasant, short walk away. We were there in September so quieter than peak summer. No toilet paper or toilet seats in the facilities but they were old fashioned and solid fitments. Hot water was available. Some very pleasant lighting available in the trees overhead.

Disliked Nothing really.

Would stay again as liked the town.

Local attractions

To Bellême (15 minutes’ drive), perhaps, for a town among the woodlands and countryside? Be sure to peer inside the church, which was reconstructed in 17th-century style from its 15th-century original and features an adorable off-centre clock. Lace-making traditions are what bring many to Alençon (half an hour). The town is UNESCO-listed for its arts and culture. There’s a fine arts museum as well as 15th-century architecture to check out while you’re pottering around there. La Ferté-Bernard (35 minutes) is a strong contender for some of the finest views around this region - and that’s saying something, with such strong competition. The Huisne river runs past the medieval buildings and canals also separate some of the streets. Le Mans (55 minutes) may be furthest away out of the bunch, but it’s got lots to occupy your hours, including a museum on the city’s famed motor race, the race track and an old town.
