  • Peaceful family site on the banks of the Indre, in Indre-et-Loire
  • Five minutes’ walk to Azay-le-Rideau; half an hour to Tours
  • Bike and canoe hire; grocery shop in summer; swimming pool next door
With a lush setting in the spectacular Loire-Anjou-Touraine Regional Natural Park, the tree-shaded grass pitches at Camping Onlycamp Le Sabot sit on the banks of the Indre River, in the department of Indre-et-Loire. A stay at this quiet and family-friendly spot means plenty of things to do with the kids. There’s an inflatable playground for younger offspring, plus a ping pong table and a TV room for older kids to lounge around in. Paddleboards and canoes can be hired on site for forays up the river, as well as bikes for adventures on looped cycling trails along the Loire and Indre valleys. In summer, the local municipal swimming pool (with lessons for any novices) is free for all site guests to use. Other bonuses of staying in peak season include a bread depot with freshly baked croissants and baguettes for breakfast, and a small grocery store selling ice creams, hot and cold drinks and delicious regional products. The historic centre of Azay-le-Rideau village (five minutes’ walk) has a couple of small supermarkets for stocking up on essentials, as well as lots of cosy cafés and bistros for whiling away lazy afternoons over leisurely lunches. The Renaissance-era Château d’Azay-le-Rideau, set on a quasi-island in the Indre River, is worth a visit for its gilded salons and collections of tapestries and portraits.

What customers say

Lovely, quiet riverside spot near charming Azay-le-Rideau & chateau. Spacious, shaded pitches, good amenities. Staff friendly. Showers clean, though some mention missing soap/paper & dated facilities. Occasional dog noise, potential flooding noted.

Power optional grass and earth campsite

Liked Beautiful site, right on the banks of the river. Quiet (we were there at the end of the season) possibly not so quiet mid season as sight has lots of outdoor seating areas for large groups of people. The site is being updated and renovated and some facilities are brand new.
The manager, Claude, was extremely friendly and helpful. Out in the middle of nowhere and we loved it.

Disliked Nothing that could be helped.....it rained all the time we were there but we still liked it.

Local attractions

The castles of the Loire Valley are within easy reach, starting with the Château de Villandry (15 minutes’ drive), a Renaissance structure best known for its spectacular formal gardens. Built in the 15th century, the Château de Langeais (15 minutes) enchants with its slender turrets and parkland with views of the Loire. Stretching on the banks of the Loire, the city of Tours (half an hour) has an ornate Gothic cathedral and timber-framed buildings lining cobbled streets. Pink flamingos and turtles inhabit the botanical garden, while the Centre Aquatique du Lac has swimming pools and other water-based attractions. The Arboretum de la Martinière (half an hour) is the place for lakeside strolls and guided tours among bamboo groves, lush ferns and dwarf palm trees. There are also Japanese maple trees and ponds dotted with water lilies, lending the place a peaceful Oriental-garden vibe.
