Great little site near Le Mans less than 10 minutes from motorway.
We only stayed one night to break journey further south
Owners very friendly and relaxed. Site has been brought back to life and it's clear they have a passion to make it successful
Power and water convenient to pitches, which are spacious
Showers are cubicles off communal area and well presented, toilets individual outside facing cubicles kept clean with the occasional insect life to be expected.
Space for kids to play, including table tennis, basketball and football.
We used this site for a one night stop over on the way south. The owners are working hard to regenerate the site and are nearly done with renewing everything. The site is very quiet and next to the river and a gorgeous old mill converted to a restaurant. The pitches are spacious and shaded by trees, a blessing in hot weather. The restaurant is under new management and promises take away food for the campsite. From what we saw the local area would justify a longer stay and the site is perfect if you are looking for somewhere quiet and relaxing.
We stayed at this site one night enroute back to Calais from the Pay Basque. My wife found the site on the internet looking for a place to stop over whilst heading home. Reading that the site was reopening after several years closed we were not sure what to expect. Well we could not have been happier and really enjoyed our stay. The owners Martin and Louise are welcoming, happy to give you time for a chat and provide useful advice about the area. They have done a great job with the site so far and it is clear to see how hard they have worked to reopen the site after the years of closure. The facilities are plentiful, they are still work in progress, but very clean and the showers were spacious and always had plenty of hot water with good hanging area and shelving to put soaps/shampoo. The washing up area has a good range of sinks for different cleaning tasks and the toilets are very clean. The things that we were very impressed with were the provision of hand soap at each wash hand basin and at the sink outside of the toilet area plus individual toilet roll dispensers in each toilet. This is very unusual on the sites we have visited in France. Each pitch is very spacious and the serviced pitches provide both electricity and water. Just outside the site is the stunning water mill with race and a restaurant, though we didn't eat there as we were there for just the one night.
The site is easy to access from the motorway and the roads leading to it are wide enough to pass easily. We timed it as 10 mins from pitch to motorway slip road and similar distance to a huge Auchan hypermarket with fuel. The village of Neuville Sur Sarthe is a 15 min walk and has a small supermarket, butchers, bar restaurant and a great Boulangerie. A site that we will be back to and the next time for longer to enjoy the site, area and peace and quiet. Good luck Martin and Louise and thank you for making our stay so good.
We stayed at this site for 3 nights enroute from the Loire valley back to Le Havre. We really enjoyed our stay. The owners Martin and Louise are so welcoming. It is obvious how hard they have worked to reopen the site after so many years being closed. The toilets are always clean and the showers always had hot water with plenty of shelving to put items, including a shelf for shampoo, very rare in France.
Pitches are large with plenty of shade and you don't feel overlooked by other pitches. Plenty of well established trees and shrubs between pitches. There was a temporary swimming pool as the main pool needs work doing on it. Plenty of things to keep the children entertained, a yurt full of toys for little ones, basketball, pétanque, table tennis, football, badminton and free wifi.
The site is right next to the river Sarthe and there is a restaurant across the road from the site. The village is walking distance to the site which has a supermarket, bakery, pharmacy, school and community centre. One of our favourite villages we visited. We took the train into Le Mans with the train station walking distance from site. You can also drive or even cycle in. Plenty of cycle paths from campsite most are off road. Any bits that are on roads had no traffic. We hope to return one day and perhaps take the train into Paris as Paris is less than an hour from Le Mans.
What a fantastic site, we couldn’t recommend it more. I stayed here with my wife and our two daughters, four and six, plus the in laws. We arrived in late July for two weeks. The journey was easy as it’s less than 10 minutes form A28 motorway with no tight road or access issues.
Being a newly reopened site, there wasn’t any reviews to base our decision on, we took a risk booking this for our summer holiday, I’m so glad we did. Martyn and Louise are a lovely English couple and couldn’t have done more to make our stay more pleasurable.
We holidayed with in laws and both our pitches where huge, so much room and no rules on where to place caravan/car. Water and electric points where sited easily on the edge of the pitch, and facilities block was in the centre so easy distance for all pitches as it’s not a huge site.
There was plenty of room for the kids to spread out and play on the pitch, plus a large field to play games and ride around, both our children learnt to ride their bikes in it. The pool was suitable, although above ground, was all we needed for us all to have a splash around and cool off.
The site is fairly rustic, but this adds to the charm, the toilets and showers were always clean and plenty of hot water.
There’s a beautiful river that runs passed the entrance, very shallow and we all enjoyed walking around in it. An after dinner stroll with and ice cream to sit on the benches by the old watermill while the kids played on the banks was a frequent event.
Being situated near Le Mans, there is plenty to do, including the ancient city, theme park, various chateaus or the famous circuit, we were never short of ideas of places to visit.
There’s a small grocery store, bakers and butcher in the village, a few minutes on bike. Bigger supermarkets are less then 10 minutes away with a huge retail park with every shop you could possibly want.
There’s plenty of flat, safe, cycle paths with set routes to try, even both the children managed to do 5 miles and they’d only been riding less than a week. We took our inflatable kaiaks and launched them up river and paddled back to the site a few times, very peaceful and relaxing.
We wanted a quiet site with a pool, close to shops and plenty of ideas for days out without travelling too far. We got this and more, this site made for such a great relaxing holiday we’ve already booked for this year, and we’ve never gone back to the same site before.
My wife and I used the site as a base for the 24 Heures du Mans; far more peaceful than the circuit! Martyn and Louise made our 7 nights stay most enjoyable, as nothing was too much trouble. The village of Neuville sur Sarthe is very pleasant and only 10 minutes walk away. It has an excellent butcher, baker and general store. The site is very peaceful with good sized pitches. It also has a wide variety of trees and very close to the old water mill, with a lovely picnic / relaxation area.
We used train and buses from the village to go to and from Le Mans town. There is an excellent tram service from the town to the circuit.
We look forward to returning.
We wish Martyn and Louise all the best in this new venture.
Hopefully next year Ross will be racing again at Le Mans
What a find! A beautifully clean campsite that has a very French feel to it (even though its owners are English!) Lovely quiet location with river and restaurant very nearby. Extremely large pitches that are nicely secluded with a variety of trees. This site would be very handy for the Le Mans race track and visiting the city itself. This site is not commercialised at all-lovely! Within walking distance of the village of Neuville-sur-sarthe. I would highly recommend this place for a peaceful 'chillout!'
Used as an overnight stop on the way to La Rochelle. Site is set beneath a mixture of large trees and felt very enclosed. The area had been suffering lots of rain when we visited and the pitches were quite wet and muddy. The Toilets although clean were very dated and felt sparse. The entrance to the site is a bit off the beaten track and had to be careful crossing a very narrow bridge,the entry to the site itself is very tight.
There is a restaurant nearby which is alongside the Soarthe river, we didn't try it so cant comment but the setting looked nice.
There are no facilities here and we feel the site could do with updating, the welcome however was very warm and have no doubt the owners (English) would, given the chance, do so.
