  • Stunning luxury site around an 18th-century castle and lake
  • Within 25 minutes' drive of Le Mans and two hours from Paris
  • Free fishing, pool, château bar, restaurant, farm and free tours
Pretty, peaceful and in spectacular surrounds including a château and a fishing lake – ooh la la and then some. Scenic, friendly and fably equipped Camping Le Château de Chanteloup is near Sille-Le-Philippe in the Sarthe department, about 25 minutes' drive from the famed racing track of Le Mans and two hours from Paris. It's on a carefully preserved 22 hectares with meadows, woodland, gardens, an 18th-century castle and a lake for canoeing and angling. Fishing is popular here (and free), so pack your kit and get ready to land carp, roach and tench. There's stacks to do at this luxury park, from strolling or cycling around the grounds to getting active with hours of swimming, badminton, ping pong, mountain biking and pétanque. A football pitch, two volleyball courts and a basketball hoop are also on site: do hone your skills before arriving as friendly competitions are regularly held in these (as well as in pétanque, fishing, basketball and ping pong). More restfully, take yourself off to the pool, or simply have an early snooze instead, as a kids' club for ages four to 10 is run every day in high season by bilingual staff. An evening restaurant and takeaway are in the farm courtyard, and the Chanteloup bar is open throughout the season in the west wing of the castle. For peaceful retreats, a billiards table, TV room and book exchange are in the east wing. Free guided tours of the grounds are available. Guests are also welcome to potter around the miniature farm at the entrance to the property, to coo over the critters and pick up a clutch of fresh eggs.

Liked Omg

I was blown away by this site we only stopped one night. The facilities are fantastic. We used the restaurant and the food was great. Toilets showers etc were all clean. We got there late evening and wished we had booked 2 nights. However we had to move to our main holiday destination.

From the manager: Fantastic review, thank you so much!

Electric grass pitch

Liked Everything about this place! The location, the setting and the services. Stylish without being ‘over-styled’. Simply beautiful.
The pitches are very generous and all placed around the edge of the fields. So spacious and lovely compared to campsites where everyone is crammed in every space.

Disliked It was higher end of our price bracket but we were only staying one night.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you very much, very positive review about Chanteloup, it is really how we want people to see this campsite ;)
About the price, for you to know, the 10€ of management fees for each booking are offered starting from two nights. Compared to many campsites, we accept the one night stays ;)

Absolutely loved it! Would highly recommend…

Electric grass pitch

Liked What a great site - the best from our 2 week tour of France. Large pitches, nice pool, and beautiful scenery.

Disliked Only 1 shower near our pitch so bit of a trek. And avoid the duck on the menu in the restaurant.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you so much for this very nice review of Chanteloup's campsite. About the little shower block wich is a back-up block, the main sanitaries are near the castle, we are going to do something and work on it, thank you for the feedback ;)

Great fun and well thought out but not that peaceful.

Liked Pretty much everything about this place is great.

Disliked Could do with an adult only area. Too many kids if you’re looking for a bit of peace and quiet.

From the manager: Great review and feedback, thank you so much. A little advice if you think there are too many children, try to come in June, it is a very quiet and peacefull period ;)

Fully-serviced grass pitch

Liked Rustic chateau feel and very laid back atmosphere, hosts seemed very genuine and site was well equipped in a great location. Good family activities and a lovely pool area kept two young children well entertained over 4 days. On-site bar/shop/restaurant are great to have at hand, would visit again no question

Disliked Not a huge critique but chemical toilet disposal some distance from our particular pitch, male toilet area grubby and wasn’t spotlessly clean as I would expect from a 5* site, both male/female toilet areas needed minor maintenance seeing to (toilet seats loose, mouldy silicone on sinks)

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Many thanks for this great feedback, thank you so much ;)

Local attractions

You may decide just to stay on site with all the kingly and queenly options at your regal fingertips, but do make some time to get out and about as well – as with the site, there's lots to do in the Sarthe surroundings. Zip along to Le Mans for what the Camping Le Château de Chanteloup owners declare is the most beaut Gallo-Roman spot in France: this medieval city is full of houses from the 16th to 18th centuries. The stained glass windows in the cathedral should enthrall even non-historic kids, and the Nuit des Chimères light and sound shows in July and August are a must-see if you're around these parts in summer. Le Mans racing track is home to the oldest sports car endurance race in the world (since 1923, petrolhead peeps) as well as the track's motorsports museum. Also much recommended is Ferté-Bernard, involved in the world's first motoring Grand Prix way back in 1903; the small city of Montmirail, and traditional villages such as Asnières-sur-Vègre and Le Grand Lucé.
