  • Peaceful wildlife haven on the banks of the Petite Sauldre
  • Opposite an 11th-century château and close to a riverside beach
  • Shaded location with play area and pétanque court
Obviously (given the name), this Cher site is in a wildlife haven. One with a green and lakeside setting, a peaceful river valley and an 11th-century château in nature-filled fact – so you can have French heritage as well as wildlife-watching days without having to venture too far from your viewsome base. Squirrels, birds, and butterflies of many species run and flutter around the grounds and surrounds of Camping Paradis Nature, around its riverside setting on the banks of the Petite Sauldre. All this is overseen by the Château de la Chapelle d'Angillon facing the site, an 11th-century fortress enlarged over the centuries and now home to a museum on famed local resident Alain Fournier. There's loads of room on site for serene strolls (grownups) or more energetic dashing around (kids), alongside spacious and level pitches with plenty of room for your kit and in a choice of sunny or shaded areas. A pétanque court and play area are on site too if the kids need to whizz around just a bit more while their owners get prepped for the evening barbecue. For more supplies, the town of Chapelle d'Angillon is a kilometre away and a Tuesday market is at Henrichemont, 10 minutes' drive from the site. The nearest restaurants are 15 minutes' drive away.

Liked: Beautiful setting. Yes it’s quirky but probably one of our favourite stops. The walk around the lake was lovely in the evening. Fishermen and women would love the carp fishing. We cycled through the forest with our tandem. Once you’ve figured out the water it’s plain sailing 😉

Disliked: Don’t know what happened here…. There are accreditations from Tourism France to 2017 - the web still says 9.2 but I’m really sad it wasn’t up to it. There was no running water - at all, and clearly hadn’t been for days. The lady on site was kind and helpful - but didn’t say that and still charged my full fee. It is a beautiful place, and is peaceful and calm but this dear Lady needs a helping hand to get it back on track. - maybe its a post pandemic thing - don’t give up on it just check …..

Liked: Fab location and very peaceful surroundings

Disliked: Very poor facilities. Showers not working so had use of a caravan with one shower there. An old toilet to empty cassette and the grass was up to our knees. Madame came with a strimmer to cut it down but it was a bad job.

Local attractions

You'll probably want to take a wander around the castle opposite the site in between the wildlife watching and riverside walking: Château de la Chapelle d'Angillon is a popular place that has guided tours all round as well as meals for groups if booked in advance – and weddings, should you be so inclined. A medieval festival is held here during the first week of September. Elsewhere around the local countryside, you can go trout fishing in the waters of the Petite Sauldre, hike along the local greenway of the old railway line, or settle down for a day among the waters, sands, picnic tables and volleyball court of the nearby riverside beach. The Loire valley town and white wine vineyards of Sancerre are half an hour's drive to the east. Also recommended are the wineries of Quincy and Menetou-Salon within the same distance, sniffing out the world of perfume at 15th-century Château de Blancafort (25 minutes), or cantering around the countryside via the assistance of the several regional equestrian centres (ask on site for details).
