  • Family-friendly Loir-et-Cher campsite on the Renne river in Chémery
  • ZooParc de Beauval 25 minutes’ drive; Château de Chenonceau 35 minutes
  • Swimming pool and fishing pond; wine tastings and snack bar on site
Is it to be château spotting, wine tasting or hiking? It’s often a dilemma deciding what to do on Loir-et-Cher camping holidays, but when you stay at Camping Le Gué on the outskirts of Chémery, you can easily do all three, as elegant Loire castles like Cheverny, a multitude of vineyards and the pine forests of the Sologne are all within half an hour’s drive. Of course, you can choose not to do any of the above and simply laze away summer days on this peaceful, family-friendly site. Play ping-pong with the teens, let toddlers run around at the playground, and cool off in the heated swimming pool (there’s also a paddling pool for non-swimmers). Top up your tan on the sun deck or head to the bar for ice cream, snacks and a glass or two of chilled rosé. Camping Le Gué borders the Renne river and a pond where anglers can test their skill. Frequent fishing competitions are held on site (there’s a small fee to enter), while you can also get your teeth into weekly Touraine wine-tasting sessions, participate in pétanque challenges and enjoy local specialities like Selles-sur-Cher goat’s cheese and pork rillons sausages on communal barbecue days. If you feel like a quiet day with the family, borrow board games and books from the on-site library and settle down together on your grass pitch (shaded or sunny options are both available).

What customers say

Lovely, calm, family-spot with friendly owners. Guests loved the location, clean pool, and fun goats. Showers/toilets could use a spruce-up, with some saying facilities were dated and Wi-Fi was weak. Still, many found it clean with good amenities and a happy vibe, praising the welcoming hosts.

Electric optional grass and gravel pitch

Liked Grandchildren loved the pool. Hosts were very helpful. Having a bar and cafe was good and we ate on our second night. Had problems with electric hook up as our cable not long enough but host provided and extension and when that didn't't work provided the correct adaptor. Visited Zooparc de Beauval which is great and fairly close - 25 minutes.

Electric optional grass and gravel pitch

Liked Nice quiet little camp with a pool and good toilet and shower block. Friendly staff. Well located to visit the towns and chateau in the region.

Disliked Pitches are a little tight but big enough. We have a large caravan.

Liked Les propriétaires sont très sympas. Camping familial calme

Disliked Les douches sont vétustes et l'eau pas assez chaude . Le wifi très très faible

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Nous vous remercions pour votre aimable commentaire.
Nous tentons de faire le mieux possible pour maintenir la température des douches adaptée au désir de chacun mais nous ne visons pas toujours juste, sommes desolés pour ce désagrément. Une prochaine fois pour le wifi, n’hésitez pas venir nous voir à la réception si vous avez des problèmes pour le capter. A bientôt ! Corinne et Pascal.

Enjoyable stay.

Liked Very happy with the welcome and services. Nice little campsite. We enjoyed our stay.

Disliked Would prefer the drinking water taps and hoses to be in separated from the chemical toilet location for hygiene reasons.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your comment. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed our campsite.
Regarding water, there is a fountain and a tap on the campsite that are accessible to everyone, and there is also drinking water in the dishwashing areas. We do not have any non-drinking water points on the camp site, so there must have been a misunderstanding.

James W.

Electric optional grass and gravel pitch

Liked Quiet site for an overnight stop with plenty of space on the pitch. The goats were ace, very entertaining. Staff were friendly and accommodating.

Disliked The pitch had to be cleaned of litter and tent pegs before pitching and we couldn't use the pool because our swimmers were baggy. Speedos only! A bit outdated.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Merci pour votre commentaire.
It should have been interresting to know what kind of litter you find...
Concerning baggy swimmers, please read informations on website...

Local attractions

So you want to bag a few Loire Valley châteaux? Start your discovery tour with the sumptuous apartments and Tintin exhibition at 17th-century Château de Cheverny (20 minutes’ drive). Next up might be fanciful Chambord (35 minutes), with its famed spiral staircase inspired by Leonardo da Vinci, while the elegant, white-turreted Château de Chenonceau (also 35 minutes) spans the Loire River and houses important Old Master paintings as well as intricate Flemish tapestries. If the kids tire of looking at grand old mansions, take them to see the interactive displays on peasant life in the troglodyte caves at La Magnanerie (25 minutes). If that doesn’t have them smiling, it’s time to head for ZooParc de Beauval (also 25 minutes), where you can all get up close to endangered pandas, spot big cats in spacious enclosures and visit Komodo dragons in the soaring glass Equatorial Dome. See mushrooms being grown underground at Cave Champignonnière des Roches Ville Souterraine (25 minutes), and sample more regional produce at Touraine vineyards including Domaine Raphaël Midoir (five minutes) or Domaine de la Charmoise (10 minutes).
