  • Quiet, dog-friendly site on the banks of the Indre river with woods
  • Walking distance to the Indre à Vélo route; 20 minutes’ drive to Tours
  • Shops a short walk away; bicycle rental on site
Castles, animal parks, vineyards, gastronomy and hikes… it’s easy to list off the sweet parts of the Indre-et-Loire and handily, Camping la Vallee de I’Indre is just the place to soak it all in. Owned by the friendly Julie and Lionel, this Indre Valley site is all ready for relaxation with wooded surroundings and the Indre river flowing through the foot of the site (full of pretty fish, by the way). It’s pretty hush at this three-hectare site, which makes for some quality relaxation for family, friends or couples. At the same time, you won’t have to pass up on the city life, as Tours is only 20 minutes' drive away. As for shops and eateries on a smaller scale, the centre of the local village is under 10 minutes’ walk away. Thanks to the site's central location, you’ll be well-based for both cultural and sporting activities… so some of your excursions might include castles, animal parks and leisure parks. Wine aficionados will be happy to find that as well as all of those vineyards around the region, the site has one of its own. You’ll also be able to get your hands on a rented bicycle at the site, a simple way to whizz off and familiarise yourself with all the local sights.

From the manager: Bonjour et merci pour votre retour même si nous ne sommes pas en accord avec vous ( les autres avis pitchup et nous ) sur la propreté, les sanitaires sont contrôlés 5 fois par jour et nettoyé lorsqu'il le faut, après vous êtes peut-êtres passé derrière des dégueulasses qui ne prennent pas soin des lieux, cordialement

FHU grass campsite

Liked: Layout and location is very good- lovely setting with great walking and cycling areas. This site is well proportioned and had an excellent toilet/ shower/washing block. Nice friendly welcome and no issues. Swimming pool is nice to cool off.

Disliked: Swimming pool is on the small side given the size of the camp. It was very popular and was always overcrowded. Obviously being mid August, it was a peak time to book- and one late afternoon- there was no hot water at all.

Powered grass campsite

Liked: 'meh' is how I would describe it. Not good, not bad. Just average. Thing is I expected a bit more as it was a tad more pricey than alot of other campsites we had stayed in, so I was expecting a bit more, but it offered nothing more except a few goats. The pool was clean, the showers were lukewarm but they did the job. Generally facilities were all clean. We liked the town being nearby, had some nice Pizza at the local Italian.

Disliked: Wifi was terrible. Maybe it was just our pitch (19) but it would take ages to connect, then have low signal and drop out. Big deal made about the food truck that arrived at night. Restaurant prices for a burger van. Mosquitoes were terrible. Luckily we had repellent then it wasn't as bad. Stayed at lots of sites on rivers and were nowhere near as bad. You are basically touching the people on the pitch near door, not much privacy.

From the manager: bonjour et merci pour votre avis avec une bonne note pour la propreté, mais nous avons un peu mieux que nos chèvres pour satisfaire les enfants sauf si vous êtes un peu difficile... en effet à la piscine, il y a une belle pataugeoire pour les enfants sur le thème du zoo de beauvaul ( ouverte jusqu'à 21h pour les gens qui arrive tard ), mais aussi des jeux à ressort, un trampoline, 4 jeux gonflables dont une de 15 mètres, 2 terrain de foot ( petit et grand ) 1 terrain de volley, 2 terrains de badminton, etc..., pour le peu d'intimité, nos emplacements font 100 m2 et l'emplacement 19 ce trouve dans une zone de transit pour les gens comme vous qui ne reste qu'une nuit et heureusement, enfin sachez que ce n'est pas le camping qui met des moustiques mais que c'est un problème dés que l'on est au bord de l'eau, sans rancune malheureusement, à jamais.... cordialement

Liked: Great pitch. Get to the supermarket it is heaven, and within walking distance.

Disliked: Need better hookup for each pitch. Our 10 Mtr cable would not reach. Town easy walk too, but not too friendly and nothing open.

Local attractions

Sometimes you just want to stick close to your nest and that’s more than okay here… Montbazon (10 minutes’ walk) has a small fortress and it’s the gateway to a fair few walks, including the riverside Indre à Vélo route and The Way of Saint James. A simple car or bike ride can go a long way too, whether that's over to the Arboretum de la Martinière (10 minutes’ drive), laser games at Laser Game Evolution Tours (15 minutes), the family-friendly rides at Lulu Parc (20 minutes), the Château de Candé (10 minutes) or canoeing and kayaking on the Val de l'Indre (five minutes). Of course, there's a whole league of castles around too, especially the splendid Château de Villandry (25 minutes). There's no shortage of bicycle rentals and bike tours either (or the more unusual go-kart tours) and it’s no surprise when you consider all the beauty spots in the Loire Valley. Where to whisk out the wheels? Perhaps the Cave of Goupillières (25 minutes) for a Touraine cavern? Amboise (40 minutes) for castles and Da Vinci’s former home? While hiking and biking stick to the ground, you’ll take on the treetops on the obstacle courses at Gadawi Park (15 minutes). As for animals, there’s the Safari Train (40 minutes) and ZooParc de Beauval (50 minutes).
