We have been to many campsites in France over the last couple of years. Camping Le Cormier was one of our favorites due to it been a lovely immaculate site and lovely location. We took our dogs and there were plenty of walks to do in the lake and woodland surrounding areas. The owners Mike and Cath were the friendliest and most welcoming host we have ever come across. They were so helpful and full of local knowledge. The facilities on the site were everything you needed for a relaxing time. We would definitely recommend Camping Le Cormier if you want to experience a bit of rural life in the loire valley.
This site is very pretty and picturesque, just what you would expect a French campsite to look like. The owners do come across as friendly on first impression. However as our stay continued, we began to feel more and more uncomfortable there as every time my children made even the slightest noise (they're only 4 and 8!) they were telling them off and asking me to keep a closer eye on them, even though they were always within my sight and earshot! They are children having fun on holiday, but by the end of our stay they were afraid to move, play, laugh. ! When checking out, the owners then started up a conversation with me complaining about previous guests who had used the campers fridge, charged phones in the recreation area, borrowed badminton racquets etc etc but these are all things which they say initially feel free to help yourselves! I would not recommend this site
Mike and Cath literally went the extra mile (and more) to help us out when we needed assistance with car breakdown. This is the sort of 'added value' you can't anticipate or put a price on.
It would be hard indeed to find more accommodating and flexible hosts at a campsite. From the welcome pack, with plenty of useful information, to constant awareness of caravanners and campers needs, all aspects are covered.
The site itself is delightful - spacious and tranquil with nice touches such as picnic tables and rotary driers available to use. Close to the Brenne National Park, with its abundance of lakes and wildlife (a treasure for bird-watchers) and relatively near to the southern side of the Loire Valley, it's a great base for touring and exploring. When all else fails, you can always sit back and enjoy the peace! Thoroughly recommended.
We stayed here on our way home from the South of France following a search using the UKcampsite facility.
I concur with the earlier reviews, as the owners couldn't have been more helpful and friendly. I even met the mother-in-law who lives on the end of the row of Gites! There was no toilet block as such, but the gites were empty and we used those: it was just like being at home!
Pitches were spacious, and well kept. There are no facilities beyond those already mentioned, and if that suits you, well fine.
However, the previous week we camped at Moulin Campech in Aquitaine, another British owned site, where for similar money we enjoyed a good, well priced restaurant, a super pool, a trout fishing lake, and shaded pitches. You pays your money and you takes your choice!
The reviews of this site are not wrong! It's a great place to relax and unwind. Mike and Cath have established a lovely site and make you feel really welcome.
My husband and I had a very relaxing week here and I was really glad we chose this site. It's a fairly quiet area of the Loire which means you are away from all the touristy parts and get to relax and enjoy some quaint French villages.
In terms of the positives: The owners could not be more helpful. They came round morning and night to check everything was ok and have a chat about what you have been doing or where you could go. They provided a helpful leaflet with info about shops/ markets / day trips etc. They lent us a parasol, let us use a fridge for free and generally did whatever they could to make sure we had a nice time.
Peace and quiet - the site is so peaceful and is perfect for star gazing on an evening. Although it is a child friendly camp site Mike and Cath clearly cater for children too - with little paddling pools etc - they made sure noise was kept down on a night so people could enjoy their evening meals.
Pitches - were big and really well kept. Mike and Cath did a great job of clearing leaves and keeping it tidy.
Pool - it is as it says on the description - a plunge pool. It was clean and not too chilly! Perfect for cooling down in and never busy.
Other facilities- table tennis table/ darts/ boules/ badminton - all on hand with equipment provided. Bread and butcher van visits the site regularly.
Friendly - it was a really friendly site and everyone chatted on an evening - finding out who had been where and good places to visit.
Negatives. And these are said in the loosest sense as they would not put me off going back.
The facilities (toilets/ showers etc) are fairly basic as in they are more portable cabin style than building blocks as on some French campsites. However I would not let this put me off as they were always clean and always had loo roll and soap. The gite toilets and showers were also available to use if they were not occupied which was really nice. (although on chatting with Mike he said they are only temporary as they are waiting on permission to build a toilet block)
Location - in terms of shops - it's about 15 mins drive to a supermarket or village but there is a bakery 5 mins away. There is nowhere to walk to on an evening for a meal but no need with a bbq, few bottles of wine and a sunset on site! Loche was about 25- 30 mins away and 1 hour to Tours. Again, this depends on what you want as to whether this is a positive or negative. The site itself is beautiful.
I have been to a lot of campsites in France but never been to such a friendly and helpful one where they lend you a fridge for free, you can use a freezer, have picnic tables on pitches and generally make you feel part of what's going on!
There was also a washing machine and tumble drier and lots of books to read.
A great place for a relaxing stay or a good stop over. Thanks for such a great time
This campsite is one of the best we have stayed in throughout the world. The owners mike and kath are incredible, could not do enough for us, brilliant. Facilities are good, we stayed in a tent and one of the studios both fantastic. We will be definitely back. Facilities on site good and surrounding area beautiful. The site is wonderful for children, with ducks and chickens. Our best family holiday and much down to kath and mike.
We booked our stay based on the reviews that had been posted for this site and we were not disappointed.
Mike and Cath, the owners, were very friendly and helpful and our two boys really took to them. I suffered from sun stroke during our stay and they were very helpful providing fans, water sprays etc and kept checking to see if I was OK and if there was anything we needed.
The pitches were extremely spacious and the whole site was well maintained.
The site is next to working farms and our boys loved seeing the fields being harvested, hay being baled and then trasported to the barn down the road.
Obterre itself is very small with few amenities and the other local village - St Flovier, is also quite small. That being said, there is a small restaurant in St Flovier that served a four course lunch, plus wine for 11. 50 Euros - definitley worth a visit!
We tended to head to Chatillon Sur Indre for the supermarket (20 minutes away) and Loches for the market (about 30 minutes), both of which have Donjons to visit.
Our boys found these 'castles' much more interesting than the stately home type chateaux. We visited two other chateaux as well (Bridore and Azay Le Ferron), as well as the lake at Bellebouche, the zoo at Beauval (which is the best zoo I have ever been to) and Futuroscope - none of these required driving for more than an hour.
The weather was quite hot during our stay (as evidenced by the sun stroke referred to earlier!), so the plunge pool on site was used on a number of occasions to cool off and, although it isn't really a swimming pool, it was big enough for our boys to practice their swimming in.
Quite a few people on the site during our stay were people returning to the site so it shows that people rate it, and we will definitely return given the opportunity.
This is a exceptionally well maintained site in a beautiful and peaceful area of central France. The owners are very helpful and friendly and the facilities are second to none.
The pitches are huge and the site is surrounded by many pretty country tracks ideal for walking with or without the dog.
Baker's and Butcher's vans come to the site regularly and major supermarkets are within a 20 min. Drive.
All the big Loire Châteaux are about an hour to the north and the Brenne national park is half an hour to the south and there are many interesting places in between which do not appear in the guide books.
Le Cormier is a very special place to visit, if you want to get away from the rat race then you will love it there,
Cath and Mike the owners will make every effort to make you welcome and they are always there to give information and advice,
The campsite is clean and well kept and the pitches are large and flat, the toilets and showers are good,
The site is surrounded by wildlife and nature,
As for provisions Obterre village has limited supplies and we went to Loches which has all you need about half an hour drive away.
A baker and a butcher visit the site with lovely french fare twice a week,
The location is good for the lakes and there are lots of Chateaus to visit, as it was great weather while we were there it was great to sit in the grounds and soak up the surroundings.
The area is a must for anyone into bird watching or nature,
On the whole it was a great week away and I would recommend the site to anyone.
