Camping Onlycamp La Potinière

No availability at present on Pitchup.com 9.1 9 reviews

Picnic benches by the lake (added by manager 24 Apr 2023)

Peaceful family campsite 10 minutes’ walk from Écueillé in the Indre
ZooParc de Beauval and Château de Montrésor 20 minutes’ drive
Fishing lake, Tourmente riverside walks and bread-delivery service

Calm and peaceful may be the watchwords at family-friendly Camping La Potinière in the Indre, but you’ll certainly never be stuck for something to do. Pitches overlook a fishing lake, you have direct access to wildflower meadows and walks along the River Tourmente (handy if you’ve got a dog with you) and the wetland walkways of the Parc Naturel Régional de la Brenne (25 minutes’ drive) are close at hand too. Once you’ve settled in, let younger kids loose on the climbing frames at the play area, or grab your fishing rod and head for the lake to catch something tasty to cook on the barbecue. If that’s not too successful, cut your losses and head into Écueillé (10 minutes’ walk) to pick up foodie supplies. No need to worry about breakfast anyway, as there’s a delivery service for fresh bread and croissants every morning during high season – just make your order at reception, and while you’re there, you can find out all about the local visitor hotspots. Site facilities include constant hot water in the shower block, a laundry service and a secure lock-up for bicycles.

Liked: Large grass pitches. On the edge of a park which had a lovely lake. Good showers.

Disliked: There’s no staff at the site , communication by text. Facilities are fine but need to be cleaned. Over priced compared to other French camp sites we’ve stayed in on this trip

Local attractions

For a day out with the kids, ZooParc de Beauval (20 minutes’ drive) is ranked among the top zoos in the world and is home to endangered giant pandas, ancient tortoises and African big cats. Alternatively, try to sandwich some crafty learning in with a visit to the detailed model Loire châteaux at Mini Castle Park (50 minutes). If a good run around is required, join in treasure hunts and scramble around on high wires at Clic’Lac Terre d’Aventures (25 minutes), or challenge the family to robust laser games at Terranima (40 minutes). Energy still going spare? Try the obstacle courses at Park-Nat (an hour). And if you’ve overdone it on the activity front, take things easy with a ride aboard the Bas-Berry Steam Train from Écueillé (10 minutes’ walk) to the imposing fortified castle at Argy. Hit a rare rainy day? Take cover among the optical illusions and magic tricks at Manoir de l’Illusion et du Mystérieux (45 minutes), or if the kids are compliant, tour the Renaissance-era interior of Château de Montrésor (20 minutes).
