Sporty family campsite in Vieilles-Maisons-sur-Joudry in Loiret
Château de Sully-sur-Loir 20 minutes’ drive; Orleans 40 minutes
Bar on site; direct access to the Étang des Bois Leisure Centre

Set in Vieilles-Maisons-sur-Joudry in rural Loiret, Camping l'Étang des Bois sits on the banks of the eponymous lake in the middle of one of the largest forests in France. It’s a real back-to-nature sort of place, with a good dash of daily activity thrown in for outdoorsy families. The campsite is right next to a leisure centre on the Étang des Bois lake, where there is supervised swimming and watersports in high season. Other activities to keep you occupied and out in the fresh air include mölkky (Finnish throwing games), tree climbing, walking and cycling tracks through the forest – there’s bike rental on site if you’ve left your wheels behind. You can also fish in the lake (permit required and sold on site), or challenge the kids to a round of mini golf (there are preferential rates for campers). Spacious pitches await you, all with electric hook-ups and sheltered from the sun by mature oak trees. Catering is taken care of too, with a snacking bar for daytime top-ups to keep everybody happy.

Powered grass and gravel site (comfort)

Liked: nothing

Disliked: we arrived mid early may You drive in to reception 5.00pm and it appears to be just deserted. we spent half an hour trying to find someone to no avail. A local gentleman gestured us to go through the woods to a restaurant on the main road about 100m from the campsite and lo and behold the receptionist was there. would it have hurt to leave a note in a couple of languages at the site??? We were given a pitch number ok but when we went back into the site half the pitches were unmarked including ours and so we just had to squat on any. The toilet block had no hot water the showers were about 2 degrees above cold. There were no lights working and the place was depressing. non of the pitches had been attended and were all overgrown with dog mess dotted about.

Local attractions

No visit to the Loire is complete without visiting a château, so when you’ve all exhausted yourselves on the water, how about a visit to Château de Sully-sur-Loire (20 minutes’ drive) for tours of lavish apartments and pinnacled towers? If you’d like to bag another stately pile, Châteaux de Chamerolles (35 minutes) is also worth a peek for its Renaissance-era gardens and exhibits on the history of perfume. Continuing with the cultural theme, consider spending a day in elegant Orleans (40 minutes), where you can learn about a legendary character in French history at the Maison de Jeanne d’Arc, admire the vast Gothic cathedral and take a walk alongside the River Loire to paddle from the city beach at Île Charlemagne. There’s plenty to see in the Loire countryside too; enjoy panoramic views over the Forest of Orléans from the Belvédère des Caillettes viewing tower, or take peaceful woodland walks at the Arboretum des Grandes Bruyères. For rose beds and Japanese water gardens, head for La Javelière (all half an hour), or learn about local crafts at the Musée Poterie et Forêt à Nibelle (20 minutes).
