Hi. Does anyone know of a nice campsite somewhere in the Loire preferable by a river or lake that is not too expensive? We're not bothered about pools or entertainment and will be driving back from Arcachon so need somewhere pretty to stop for a couple of nights. Thanks
Don't forget to leave a review of the French and other European campsites you have visited!
Azay le Rideau municipal site is alongside the river and chateau BUT be aware that the chateau itself was shrouded in scaffolding In April for major refurbishment work.
Durtal and La Fleche are also good value sites, and both have riverside pitches, and heated pools. la Fleche town is bigger and livelier, with a great market on Wednesdays.
Would recommend Flower Camping sites like one at Saumur. While in this area for motorhome owners there is a lovely free aire at Cunault between Saumur and Gennes on south side of river. It is right down by the river and there are both open and shady areas. very pretty village but bar has shut down so make sure you are stocked up. Boulanger calls most mornings between 8 and 8.15 between now and end Aug - far too early for us. Plenty of nice walks and good open flood plain area for walking the dogs. Site clearly marked by usual aires sign
A day of all things motorhome and campervan. The show is held both in the main indoor arena and across the grounds. Catering, hot drinks and food options are available. Easy access to the site and free parking included. Win one of five pairs of day tickets
