What customers say
Praised for riverside setting & bike paths. New washrooms are spacious & clean with good hot water. Pitches are well-sized & hedged, some with shade. Issues noted with peak-season cleanliness, chemical toilet water, inconsistent Wi-Fi/cell reception, and camper noise with little management intervention.

Conveniently located campsite for visiting the local wine region
Power optional grass campsite
Liked Portes de Sancerre is a well organised campsite with helpful reception staff. The campsite is conveniently located next to water sports facilities although we did not do any ourselves. It is conveniently located near the canal cycle path. Shower block was clean and with plenty of hot water.
Disliked We could not access the wifi but I cannot say this was not down to our own lack of technical know-how!

Environnement agréable.
Disliked Groupes de jeunes très bruyantes; jeudi soir jusqu'à 23h musique très fort, à fond...pas d'intervention par le gérant. Vendredi soir jusqu'à minuit hurlements par le même groupe pour un match sportif....pas d'intervention par le gérant du camping.

Could be a fabulous site
Power optional grass campsite
Liked Location along river and close to cycle tracks, superb.
Toilet paper provided in loos.

Hand soap only available on first night.

Good value site but facilities and environment could be improved.
Power optional grass campsite
Liked Lovely location by the river. Good sized pitches. Friendly staff.
Disliked Walkways and footpaths were sandy / dusty so wearing open toe shoes meant dirty feet. Large queues for showers at peak times. Loo roll ran out overnight on occasion. Lack of privacy between pitches. No enforcement of quiet times and some groups of people were loud and disruptive at night.
