  • Stunning luxury site around an 18th-century castle and lake
  • Within 25 minutes' drive of Le Mans and two hours from Paris
  • Free fishing, pool, château bar, restaurant, farm and free tours
Pretty, peaceful and in spectacular surrounds including a château and a fishing lake – ooh la la and then some. Scenic, friendly and fably equipped Camping Le Château de Chanteloup is near Sille-Le-Philippe in the Sarthe department, about 25 minutes' drive from the famed racing track of Le Mans and two hours from Paris. It's on a carefully preserved 22 hectares with meadows, woodland, gardens, an 18th-century castle and a lake for canoeing and angling. Fishing is popular here (and free), so pack your kit and get ready to land carp, roach and tench. There's stacks to do at this luxury park, from strolling or cycling around the grounds to getting active with hours of swimming, badminton, ping pong, mountain biking and pétanque. A football pitch, two volleyball courts and a basketball hoop are also on site: do hone your skills before arriving as friendly competitions are regularly held in these (as well as in pétanque, fishing, basketball and ping pong). More restfully, take yourself off to the pool, or simply have an early snooze instead, as a kids' club for ages four to 10 is run every day in high season by bilingual staff. An evening restaurant and takeaway are in the farm courtyard, and the Chanteloup bar is open throughout the season in the west wing of the castle. For peaceful retreats, a billiards table, TV room and book exchange are in the east wing. Free guided tours of the grounds are available. Guests are also welcome to potter around the miniature farm at the entrance to the property, to coo over the critters and pick up a clutch of fresh eggs.

What customers say

Lovely, tranquil site with welcoming staff. Reviewers highlight spacious pitches, spotless facilities, a charming chateau setting & great pool. Relaxed vibe, good amenities. Pool wasn't heated for some, and some pitches were a bit of a trek to the facilities.

Liked Location great for one night stop coming down from ferries to southern France. Easy check in. Shady pitches where we were (not all were). Nice pool and really lovely bar area.

Disliked Shower and toilet facilities were ok but not really enough for amount of campers.

Electric grass pitch

Liked The setting was very pleasant. Staff were friendly although not well briefed- no knew how to book the ‘country meal’ they were advertising. We also had to wait a long time for reception to be manned on arrival (1600).

Disliked There were not enough showers and toilets. 1 disabled shower and 2 toilets for more than 30 pitches where we were. It was 300m to nearest alternative.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you very much for this brilliant review. The staff was all new when you arrived, it takes a litle bit of time to remember everything but they are working hard ;) and at this very busy period, almost everyone arrives at the same time so it is hard to take care of all the arrivals at the same time :)

We spent one night but wished we could have stayed far longer

Liked Sehr schön gelegener Campingplatz im Park eines Châteaus. Schöner Platz unter Bäumen. Nicht alle Plätze sind im Schatten. Saubere Sanitäranlagen, aber nicht viele. Wir wurden super freundlich empfangen.
Würden wiederkommen.

Liked Traumhafte Atmosphäre, wunderschöner Blick auf das Schloß. Sehr freundliche Mitarbeiter.

Disliked Leider wenige Schattenplätze.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you very much for this positive comment. About the shade, especially now with the heat and the drought, all of the shady pitches are already booked. When the weather is cooler, all the sunny spots are in demand, it is alsways like that but we have many pitches with shade at Chanteloup ;)

Clean and beautiful

Local attractions

You may decide just to stay on site with all the kingly and queenly options at your regal fingertips, but do make some time to get out and about as well – as with the site, there's lots to do in the Sarthe surroundings. Zip along to Le Mans for what the Camping Le Château de Chanteloup owners declare is the most beaut Gallo-Roman spot in France: this medieval city is full of houses from the 16th to 18th centuries. The stained glass windows in the cathedral should enthrall even non-historic kids, and the Nuit des Chimères light and sound shows in July and August are a must-see if you're around these parts in summer. Le Mans racing track is home to the oldest sports car endurance race in the world (since 1923, petrolhead peeps) as well as the track's motorsports museum. Also much recommended is Ferté-Bernard, involved in the world's first motoring Grand Prix way back in 1903; the small city of Montmirail, and traditional villages such as Asnières-sur-Vègre and Le Grand Lucé.
