  • Riverside site on the Loir banks, with fishing direct from the site
  • A 10-minute stroll from Durtal and the 11th-century Château de Durtal
  • Pools, playground, canoe hire, bar and takeaway snacks
If you're off for a riverside hol anywhere in la France, it should certainly be the Loir. Proximity to the Loir valley is fairly fab too (pour les châteaux, and other attractions like troglodyte cave houses), and then there's Loir river fishing, canoeing, bike trails – and wherever you are in the land it's mighty fine to be within strolling distance of town and a swish boulangerie too… That boulangerie is in Durtal and that Loir location is under 10 minutes' amble from town at Camping Les Portes de Anjou, a green and scenic Maine-et-Loire site next to the river. As befits such a strategic waterside setting, you can fish straight from the site here, as well as hire canoes to drift off down the river. The GR 35 hiking trail is accessible from the Portes de Anjou grounds. Around the site, there's stacks to do for all ages, including a big playground with a trampoline and table tennis. There's also an indoor games room with table football, pool and pinball, plus a pétanque court and bike hire. In high season (July and August), take to the water at the site's open-air pool complex, which is made up of a main pool and a paddling area. The complex (which is open to the public throughout the summer holidays) is directly accessible from the campsite. For meals or drinks, you can either order bits to take away or head to the bar (open every evening in July and August). Fresh bread and pastries are also available for delivery every day in July and August.

Power optional grass site

Liked: The location is stunning. The village with a couple of small shops for provisions including a Boulangerie for bread, croissants and cakes all within 10 mins walk. The pitch was a good size and backed onto the river. The bathroom facilities were very clean. The owner is very friendly and accommodating. We want to go there to stay longer next time.

Disliked: Nothing to dislike.

Anonymous The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Power optional grass site

Liked: Mooie ruime staanplaats, telkens met een haag tussen, dus zit je niet dicht bij elkaar. De visvijver straalt rust en kalmte uit. Sanitaire was heel proper en de voorzieningen voor camper ( vuil water lozen en toiletten) alles was netjes. Er is een deurtje die toegang geeft tot de promenade om met de hond te wandelen.

Disliked: Zwembad dicht niettegenstaande de zeer warme temperaturen, restaurant of winkeltje ook dicht. WiFi slechts 1 persoon mocht inloggen maar je betaalt wel voor 2 en belastingen ook voor 2.

From the manager: Many thanks for your note & comment which make us happy and reward our work. We were pleased to welcome you. As noted in website, the swimming pool is a public one opened in July & August only and our bar / snack closed at the end of August. There were restaurant in the village (10min by foot) which are opened during your stay. Concerning WIFI, you did not pay it (you can check your receipt). You have free access for 1 device with a code I give you. For other devices, it's 2€ per day per device but you did not tell me that you want several connexions. Concerning tax, it's the touristic tax as everywhere in France. Looking forward to seeing you again, Kind regards. Yves & Sophie

Power optional grass site

Liked: Well kept site, great fishing location right on the Loir. Excellent service, E.g. when the fishing federation website was under maintenance so she couldn’t issue me a licence, Sophie rang them and made alternative arrangements so I could fish.

Disliked: Trivial really but toilet seats please!

From the manager: Hi Mr GIBSON, Many Many thanks for your note & comment which make us very happy and reward our work. We were pleased to welcome you and meet you.

From the manager: Many thanks for your note & comment. We were pleased to welcome you. We are very sorry that some people walk accross your pitch. You should have told us in order we could stop it !! Moreover, we do not understand your notation about WIFI. To access to the WIFI, you need a code. You do not ask me it so you can not use WIFI. Kind regards. Yves & Sophie

Local attractions

After fishing, canoeing and sampling a wide selection of pastries in town, set off from the Portes de Anjou grounds on the GR 35 trail for a stroll or hike. You're well placed too for woodland walks in the forest of Chambiers, within about 10 minutes by car or 40 minutes by foot, and around the spectacular 11th-century Château de Durtal, under a kilometre away. Then take off on a châteaux trip, to the Château de Baugé, 20 minutes' drive away, and the Château d'Angers, 30 minutes away in Angers. The zoo at La Flèche is 20 minutes from the site.
