  • Small, friendly family-run site just outside Chef-Boutonne
  • An hour's drive to Futuroscope; 40 minutes to the Marais Poitevin
  • Heated pool and bar/restaurant with live music and quizzes
Get ready with your Poitou-Charentes holiday wishlist, for Camping Le Moulin is a place that ticks many boxes. Small family-run site with a friendly atmosphere? Tick. Rural peace? Tick (and with the bonus of the river Boutonne running just past the site for added prettiness). And it scores well on the convenience front too, as it’s a mere two kilometres from the centre of Chef-Boutonne, a small town that’s big enough to be home to a couple of supermarkets, three bars, two restaurants and a clutch of shops. A smart château and a fishing lake are within walking distance too, and there are plenty of places to go for a bike ride or walk (with your dog if you wish) so you’ll have something to do even if you don’t fancy getting in the car. If even that seems like too much effort (you are on holiday, after all), it’s not hard to amuse yourselves on site: perhaps with a dip in the heated swimming pool, a game of table tennis or some time watching the kids have fun at the play area. As you may have guessed from the name (or spotted from the pictures), the site centres around an old watermill, which has now been converted to house the site’s bar/restaurant, opening out onto a lovely poolside terrace. This is the place to go for meals of local and international dishes, and for the live music and quizzes that run throughout July and August (and once a month in low season).

Power optional grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked: Travelled as a cyclist camping. Great facilities and very friendly staff. Supermarket nearby.

Disliked: No direct power to charge things - you will need a caravan/motor home plug. More expensive for a cyclist as only usually pay €8-9.

From the manager: Thank you. There is power in the toilet block to charge things.

Power optional cement/asphalt and grass RV campsite

Liked: Lovely site, with welcoming hosts. First night stay we had a lovely meal with good service, and food and drink. Chris was excellent with replenishing our drinks, made me a lovely coffee just how his wife liked it 👍 Sara and team were brilliant. Good stopover for route to Spain.

Disliked: Maybe do with replacing the shower head as it dripped.

From the manager: Thank you. Will look at the showerhead.

Local attractions

Make your first port of call the gorgeous Château de Javarzay, a Renaissance gem 10 minutes’ walk from the site. Once you’ve toured the elegant interior, take a wander around the grounds which include an arboretum and a fishing lake (open to visitors subject to certain conditions). If your idea of outdoor time skews more towards the active end of things, there are places for kayaking and go-karting within a half-hour drive, and the Feel Nature adventure park (35 minutes' drive) is a good option for kids who feel inspired to get up into the treetops. Other days out nearby might take you to have a wander around towns like Niort (40 minutes) or Angoulême (an hour) or to explore the waterways of the Marais Poitevin Regional Natural Park (40 minutes). If you’ve brought the kids along, it’s well worth planning a day out at Futuroscope theme park (an hour) too – it’s one of the country’s most visited attractions for very good reason…
