What customers say

This campsite boasts a beautiful lakeside setting with a beach, ideal for swimming and water sports. Pitches are generally spacious and private. Staff are frequently praised for being friendly and helpful, with good English spoken. While the lake and its activities are a major draw, some visitors noted that toilet and shower facilities are dated and could be cleaner, with a lack of toilet roll. Entertainment and family-friendly activities are highlights for many.

Olivia M.

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked The lake is beautiful and great to swim in! The staff are very friendly and helpful.

Disliked It was quite noisy, residents near the reception drive around a lot and come and go late in the evening and early in the morning. Perhaps they are going to work which can't be helped but then I don't think people with tents should be placed near them - since there are cars being driven, horns being honked, door slamming, all of which you can hear if you're staying in a tent.

The bathrooms near the reception are in very bad condition, quite dirty and not very pleasant to use.

Liked CADRE

Disliked Bruits occasionnés par les employés: ratissage de la plage avec un vieux tracteur à 7h30 le matin pourrai être fait à 9h00 et beaucoup d'aller et venues par un employé ayant une vielle fourgonnette diesel qui claque et pollue pourrai être fait avec une voiturette électrique. Sanitaires vétustes.

Louise R.

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked The lake and scenery is beautiful.
The food at the restaurant is good.
We stop here for one night on the way down to the south of France every year and we always say we should stay longer.
The man made beach is great.
It’s so beautiful in the morning 🌅
There was a bouncy castle for the kids and live music in the evening.

Disliked No toilet paper in the toilets and they are mixed. I don’t mind but my teenage step daughter felt uneasy about it.

Local attractions

This is lush land for hiking and biking, along the Loire riverbanks or among the hundreds of kilometres of trails in the vast forest of Bercé about 25 minutes away. Bercé is a famed and ancient place covering 5,400 hectares, with paths for walking, cycling, mountain biking and horse riding; plenty of picnic spots and – do go to say bonjour – mighty oak tree Boppe, which is around 700 years old. If it's vineyards and vino you seek, drive for about 50 minutes to the east to reach the AOC wine region of the Côteaux du Loir, where Chenin blanc and Pineau d'Aunis (or Chenin noir) grapes are grown for white, red and rosé wines. About an hour from the site, pick up a few bottles of red at Saumur, or wander along the Thouet river from Saumur to the wine cellars of Saint-Hilaire-Saint-Florent. Town days in Tours are 45 minutes' drive to the south.
