Disliked: Nothing.

Power optional grass campsite

Liked: Brilliant clean pool, facilities immaculately clean, lovely showers, nice little park and large play area in centre for children. Lovely 15/20 min walk to town can get all you need. Butchers, bakery, bars restaurants shops. Can order bread to collect in the morning at reception and croissants , Will definitely be back.

Disliked: Sad we left after 3 days of being here. If only every camp site was like this.

Would stay again but for a stopover for few days due to location.

Power optional grass campsite

Liked: Nice little site on the river sarthe with a short walk along the river in to the town. Site is well kept and clean, staff really friendly and helpful, good shower/toilet block always kept clean, pitches were great sizes with hedges all round, good playpark and other activities for children.

Disliked: Limited opening hours of bar. Night before we were leaving I put items in my awning I needed next morning and a couple of items were stolen.

Power optional grass campsite

Liked: Pitches are large flat and hedged which gives privacy. Plenty of hot water and cleaning facilities Swimming pool can get a little crowded. Campsite is right on the the river. You can use your own boats or rent kayaks. Staff are welcoming and helpful. A short walk into the town along the river was nice.

Local attractions

There’s nothing like messing about on the river, and you can hire canoes, paddleboards and pedalos on the waterside to potter down the Sarthe, or stroll down to the quay for organised cruises past the grand 18th-century castle in Sablé-sur-Sarthe (five minutes’ walk). There’s masses for culture vultures too, with exhibitions on monastic life at Abbaye Saint-Pierre de Solesmes (10 minutes’ drive), and frescoes at St.Hilary Church in the medieval village of Asnières-sur-Vègre (20 minutes). Le Mans (an hour) mixes up Roman and Renaissance architecture, and in Angers (45 minutes) you can explore castles, museums and botanical gardens. Treat the kids to sea lion shows at Zoo de la Flèche (40 minutes), or take them deep underground to see prehistoric remains in the Valley of the Caves of Saulges (30 minutes). And who could resist the chance to dig into regional shortbread after a tour of one of Sablé-sur-Sarthe’s famous biscuit manufacturers?
