  • Friendly family site three kilometres from Sillé-le-Guillaum
  • A few minutes from a watersports lake and sandy beach
  • Snack bar with terrace, miniature golf, play area and bouncy castles
Strewth, this Sarthe site is rightly sorted for small types. Camping Les Tournesols is a properly family-friendly place, not only crammed with stuff for kids to get stuck into, but with a knowledgeable, welcoming team who'll happily assist on advising you on local destinations desirable for your own brand of munchkins. And if your parlez vous français isn't quite up to scratch? The necessary info can be imparted in anglais aussi. Les Tournesols is a rural site, a couple of kilometres from Sillé-le-Guillaume. Your small sorts should find loads to bounce around at on site (inflatables included, natch), but they'll clamour to get out and about too when they find out what's in the surroundings: a lake a few minutes' drive away has fishing, sailing, canoeing and kayaking, or you could just bask or build sandcastles at sandy Sillé beach. Woodland hikes are close by too, there are loads of walking and cycling routes in the region, and peaceful gardens galore are around Le Mans, the second greenest area in France. Facilities on site include a heated pool (open in July and August), a miniature golf course, a play area and pétanque and volleyball courts. Entertainment for all the family, from foodie nights to jitterbugging at the site disco is laid on in high season, at the snack bar which also dishes up fresh food made to order. For more of your foodie essentials, fresh bread is delivered to the site every morning.

What customers say

Tranquil family spot with great hosts, tidy facilities & kid fun (bouncy castle!). Guests loved the quiet vibes and communal meals. Food quality and tricky electric hookups were noted, plus low branches for bigger campers. Management's on it with training and upgrades. Pool open July/Aug.

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked Very child friendly activities with including bouncy castle. English speaking hosts

Disliked Food was poor. Electric hookup had a low threshold. As soon as tried to boil the kettle it blew! Come on!

Low hanging tree branches not great for a high Motorhome of 3.1m

Staff were rude and cold as soon as we complained about food being undercooked/cold. When I complained, I was presented with a large plate and told to put all the families food that was cold on it and he would heat it back up! So we put our chicken nuggets on and got them re-heated whilst we ate the rest of our meal! No offer of changing it!

From the manager: Dear family, Thank you for your feedback. We apologize for the experience you had during your stay. We take all feedback seriously and are committed to improving our services.

Regarding the food quality, we are sorry that it did not meet your expectations. We will review our food preparation standards and address this with our kitchen staff to ensure this does not happen again.

We apologize for the inconvenience caused by the electric hookup and the low tree branches. We will look into upgrading our electrical infrastructure and trimming the trees to better accommodate larger motorhomes.

We regret to hear about your experience with our staff. This is not the level of service we strive to provide. We will be conducting additional training to ensure all staff handle complaints professionally and courteously.

Thank you for bringing these issues to our attention. We hope you will give us another opportunity to provide a better experience in the future.

Laetitia and Remond

Excellent.

Liked Schöner grasbewachsener Stellplatz mit sauberen Anlagen. Die Betreiber des Platzes waren sehr freundlich und boten die Möglichkeit eines gemeinsamen Abendessens mit anderen Gästen und Animation. Wir würden wiederkommen.

Local attractions

The small fortified town of Sainte-Suzanne, on a rocky outcrop above the Erve river, is just under half an hour's drive from the site. This mighty pretty place has an 11th-century castle, ancient streets lined with handsome buildings, and a fine selection of shops, cafés and restaurants. The Musée d'Auditoire tells the tale of the town including its besieging by the men of William the Conqueror. Le Mans, 45 minutes away, is also a must, for its splendid cathedral (even the kids should like a look at this) and its half-timbered houses from the 14th to 16th centuries. The most famed of these is the red-painted Maison du Pilier Rouge on Grand Rue, a good place to snap a scenic shot. If you're around in July or August, stick around into the evening for the Le Mans light show in the Old Town, a spectacular spectacle that should enthral all ages. If you're a film buff, you might want to see how many movie settings you can spy around the city, such as that of Cyrano de Bergerac: see if you can nose out the right location.
