My campsite location for one night on Monday 10 August 2026, was:


It’s a big site and it’s full. Well run, clean and tidy. Lots of French, Dutch, Italians and a couple of Brits. Very family orientated, I’d guess you’d describe it as. Quiet in the evening, considering it’s busy and high summer. Good staff at checking.

It says on the website that it’s close to Saumur. That’s ‘close’ as in, about five miles. I bicycled in.

Saumur and the Loire are both popular destinations, the town boasts several sites. Previously, I’ve used, Camping L’lle d’Offard. That too is a large site, but an easy (20 minutes) walk into town.


The Offard site was fully booked and / or was unable to accommodate me for just the one night.

Tuesday, and it’s looks like it’s going to be another hot one.

My suggestion, if anyone wants to use this campsite would be to book early, to try to get a pitch on the hill, overlooking the river valley. The downside, if you get the lower terrace, is less shade.

I would have been on the move by now, delayed only because I have a client call at 09:00. Oh well, it’ll have to be another cup of tea.
