Camping de la Grange au Maire

View prices & book Last booked 2 days ago 9.9 16 reviews

Secluded site in a rural Deux-Sèvres village in the Poitou-Charentes
A 55-minute drive to Futuroscope, and 50 minutes to Angoulême
Small setting with grass pitches, modern shower block and a library

This is said to be one of the sunniest areas in the whole of France – and while the weather can't be guaranteed, there should be plenty of good times in the forecast for those staying at Camping de la Grange au Maire. This small family-run campsite is in the southern Deux-Sèvres, in the centre of the four departments that make up the Poitou-Charentes, and there's lots for all the family to do and see. The site is in sleepy countryside but just a handy 10 minutes’ drive from the N10 motorway, making it a handy stopover point on journeys to or from the south of France or into Spain. It's also close to the three main airports of Poitiers, Limoges and La Rochelle, which are all within a 90-minute drive. What to expect on site? Spacious grass pitches have parking by your accommodation and access to refurbished showers with a shaver point and hair drier, a washing-up area and a chemical toilet disposal point. Also useful are the 16-amp electric hook-ups for all the pitches. Pitches are within fully enclosed grounds behind large gates and hedges, ensuring that your stay will be a peaceful, secure and secluded one for everybody, especially the children. A communal room has a selection of books and a large selection of DVDs to borrow on any days when the weather’s not cooperating. There is also a dartboard, table tennis (please ask the team for this one) and a games table with table football, skittles and air hockey. Please note, if you're arriving late on Saturdays or after midday on Sunday, there are no shops open in the area, so make sure you stock up before you arrive. The local supermarket is in Sauzé-Vaussais (five minutes’ drive).

Electric grass pitch

Liked: The campsite is in a beautiful quiet rural location. Jo and Chris were so friendly and helpful. We arrived in freezing fog fairly late at night but they were straight out to show us around. The facilities were very clean and the showers lovely and hot! Very welcome in late December. We also really appreciated the community room.

We hope to come back in the summer!!

We hope your ankle and leg recovered after the incident with your motorbike.

The tranquility
Good spacious pitches

Disliked: If anything, the closest place to have a bite is at a fair diastcance (+ 3km)

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your kind review. We are out in the country and you do need to have some means of transport to get to many places nearby that are available for eating. We appreciate that with a Motorhome, that once you have pitched up you don't really want to go off site with it to eat.

Excellent rural site with spotless facilities and great owners

Electric grass pitch

Liked: We had a blissful 2 nights at la Grange au Maire. It is a haven of tranquility and in easy reach of the road north so pretty perfect. Jo and Chris were great hosts and have thought about what motorhomers, caravaners and campers need on a site. Spotless facilities and fantastic hot showers. Fabulous

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your generous comments, we strive to meet or even exceed the expectations of our visitors and are continually looking to improve the facilities to meet the needs of the majority of people. It was a pleasure to meet you both and if you are ever this way again you would be most welcome.

Wonderfully quiet location with great facilities.

Local attractions

There’s so much to do within an hour’s drive of the site. If you’re holidaying with the kids, head for Futuroscope (55 minutes’ drive) for a day on its immersive 4D rides, dancing with robots and playgrounds for younger kids. La Vallée des Singes (half an hour) is the place for feeding sessions with free-roaming monkeys and the chance to see silverback gorillas, while DéfiPlanet' (an hour) has a petting zoo and treetop rope courses. In the walled city of Angoulême (50 minutes), there are comic-book museums to poke around and 30 giant cartoon murals spread across the city. When you’re done with culture, there’s a manmade beach at Nautilis, along with indoor and outdoor pools and paddling pools for toddlers. If you fancy a day at the real thing, the sandy shores of historic La Rochelle are an hour and a half away on the Atlantic coast. Closer to base camp, at Ruffec Rejallant Canoë Kayak (25 minutes), families can kayak down the Charente River to the historic town of Verteuil-sur-Charente and its château.
