Liked Freundlichkeit, Hilfsbereitschaft, man spricht auch Deutsch (ist für uns ältere Leutchen schon recht bequem), Sauberkeit. Dass es unter allen Campern aller Nationalitäten immer mal Schweine gibt, die nicht wissen, wie man eine sanitäre Einrichtung verlässt, dafür kann kein Campingplatzbetreiber.
Herzlichen Dank!

Disliked Die Schließzeit über Mittag ist recht lang. Da wird das Warten vor der geschlossenen Schranke, gerade in diesem Sommer bei 37 Grad und mehr, schnell zur Herausforderung. Gerade bei langen Etappen lässt sich die Ankunftszeit halt nicht so genau kalkulieren.

Disliked Let op de camping gaat pas open vanaf 15:00. Personeel zal niet echt moeite doen om je te helpen. Eet gelegenheid aan de overkant worden alleen maar frannsen toe gelaten. Pizza's en hamburgers bleken op te zijn.

FHU grass campsite

Liked The size of our pitch was great and had shade.

Disliked - Toilet facilities were inadequate for the size of the site considering it was shared for every gender. 2 Blocks with less than 7 toilets and 8 showers in each, hence queuing! Always running out of toilet paper and hand paper towels. Hand paper towel bins too small so always over flowing. weren’t kept clean!
- Sunday evening - the entertainment was so loud and kept going until 23:45pm despite cut off (so say) 23:00!! We had to get up the next morning to leave at 7pm for an 8 hour drive! Our pitch was well away from this but sound travels. I felt sorry for children with small children.
- Rubbish/ recycle bins completely over flowing and not emptied. Health and safety issue!

Liked Pools were great. Pizza was good.

Disliked We have our tent size (8 man tent) when booking but were given a pitch that was too small. They suggested a second pitch that was also too small and then given a ‘not my problem’ shoulder shrug by the manager. Took 3 pitches before we were allocated one that was big enough. I’d normally say this sort of this is an isolated incident, but that was another lady in reception having the exact same problem as the same time as us. Note to the site: read the unit dimensions that customers submit when allocating pitches - it’s not a dark art.

Liked Very easy to find, simple check in and large pitches. The pool was good, there was a little bar and even buggies to rent. Perfect for a night or two while travelling.

Disliked Toilets are terrible ! What a shame ! They were mixed, really worn out and only 3 for a very large area. Always dirty. Very disappointing...

Local attractions

Active families will be happy to hear that Gadawi Park Adventure has high-ropes courses and zipwires for all levels of bravery. Close by is the Parc du Lac des Bretonnières, with a skatepark, waterside walking trails and fishing spots around the shoreline. At the local stables (all five minutes’ drive), you can take riding lessons or head off on a trek through the countryside. You can’t possibly leave Camping la Mignardière without visiting at least one of the famed châteaux strewn around the Loire Valley. Contenders include the medieval/Renaissance elegance and formal gardens at Villandry (20 minutes), the hilltop fortress of Chinon or the exquisite Chenonceau spanning the River Cher. For city wanderings, start in Tours (20 minutes) with a visit to the cathedral, botanic gardens and fine-arts museum, or poke around for gourmet foodie pickings in the covered markets. A little further along the Loire are the medieval centres of Amboise (40 minutes) and Blois (55 minutes, with more châteaux) and Saumur (50 minutes), home of dressage performances at the Cadre Noir de Saumur and pretty of wine bars serving sparkling local wines.
