 We stayed in the Gite at Le Cormier late July 2011; my Wife and I plus four children aged between 15 and 8; all the kids slept in pup tents on the camp site with their Grand Parents. The Gite was spotlessly clean, well appointed and modern.
Absolutely nothing was too much trouble for Cath, Mike or their daughter, I could have written at length on the merits of this peaceful and rural site however it has already been said many times over in previous reviews and is all completely justified.
At the time of our visit the Splash pool was in use and most afternoons we would use it to cool off.
If you have children and are looking for things to do then the plage at Étang de Bellebouche is well worth a visit as is “Le Haute Touche” at Azay Le Ferron which makes a nice bike ride of about 22 km.
Truly a five star site!

To find something that hasn't already been said about this lovely campsite it quite difficult because we agree with all the reviews 100%. This site has many positives starting with the lovely welcome. I would have said that it would have been nigh on impossible to put a smile on my DH's face after driving from Scotland through the night and a longer than expected 7 hour drive from Calais to find the site. Especially as we got so close and then got lost. To give you an idea of the hospitality, we had already called Cath and Mike once to check that we were on the right road. They advised we were 10 minutes away. 40 minutes later we called again to say that we couldn't find it and Mike was dispatched to come and guide us in. As we arrived Cath came out to greet us and take our drinks order and one unhappy Scotsman started to relax ! Nothing was too much bother for this couple and each evening Mike or Cath or sometimes both did a quick round of the site to check that everything was alright. Mike's Mum Bessie was also very much part of the charm of Le Cormier and added to the family atmosphere.
First impressions were excellent and we were delighted that the site was so picturesque. The pitches are in what probably would have been an orchard and the old farmhouse house and gites are built around a lovely courtyard complete with a duckpond. At the time of year we visited all the flowers were also in full bloom around the courtyard giving bright summary splashes of colour.
All twelve pitches are huge and quite level. Some have good shade and some have full sun. During our visit it June there was a heat wave in the Loire with temperatures reaching 40 degrees so we were very glad of the shade. All have good access to the hook up and the site is quite compact so the water is not far either.
The official toilet block is still under construction so currently the 2 studio's and the gite are open for showers and the loo. The gite especially felt quite luxurious compared to the usual camping showers as its bathroom was very well appointed with a large powerful shower and plenty of space. All showers and loos were spotless at all times. We are sure that the official toilet block will be of the same high standard when complete.
If you are unlucky enough to have inclement weather, the barn doubles as a games room and has a ping pong table, there is also a bookswap table in one of the studios just now.
There is no official shop at the site but local wine is on sale and can be refrigerated for you. They will also freeze ice blocks for cool boxes. Local bakers and butchers visit the site a couple of times per week in high season. The villages of St Flovier and Obterre are just a 5-10 minute drive for fresh bread and croissants the days that the baker doesn't visit. For other shopping, St Flovier has a brilliant alimentation store with good quality fruit and veg, a small butcher and deli counter and some cans and dry goods like pasta. They also have a range of wines and beers. Its worth visiting this shop just because its like stepping back in time- think of Arkwrights in Open All Hours but in a French village. We much preferred this to the expensive and not very good quality shopping we bought at the Casino shop in Azay le Ferron. 15 minutes away from the site, is a well stocked Intermarche in Chatillion sur Indre and if you really need to stock up - less than 30 minutes away is Leclerc on the outskirts of Loches.
The site is near to the Brenne National Park with its lakes and beaches. This is a haven for bird watching and other wildlife but beware if you have a dog- they are not allowed in some of the park (ie the bits we had time to go to!) There are local vineyard visits which Mike and Cath can arrange for you and the famous chateaux of the Loire are about an hour away. We just went there to chill out and its a perfect spot to do this also.
The other big plus for us is that the site was dog friendly. There are two fields one opposite the campsite and one at the back where you can let the dogs off and loads of long walks around and nearby. Cath will also organise vet appointments in nearby Chatillion for dog immigration requirements on the way home. The vet there was very efficient and the treatment cost 54 euro.
The only criticisms - if you could call it that- were:-
Its quite tricky to access the site via St Flovier towing a large caravan. We have a Pennine Pathfinder and found it tight. The tiny roads have very sharp turns going through the village out to Obterre. Try and find a different route in and out if this bothers you.
Its was extremely hot while we were there and the plunge pool was not up. As it was, we took to having lots of cool showers to get comfortable. It was up when we stayed on our way back to Calais.
It was all British people. Not saying that this is a negative, we did meet some lovely people, but sometimes it adds colour to have an international mix.
None of the last 3 points would put us off of going back to Le Cormier - it really was a super site with lovely hosts. We would recommend it to anyone who wants some peace and quiet in a beautiful setting.

Many have mentioned how friendly, helpful and welcoming Mike & Cath are - it's certainly true.
Nothing is too much trouble for them, they even waited at the entrance of the site at 9pm in the evening to make sure we did not drive past! there had been a 'deviation' and we were approaching from another direction
The site has very large pitches, good facilities and many trees.
Sadly we only were passing through and we saw that there were lots to do and see around Obterre - Loches is a medieval city not far away and Chenonceau our favourite chateau near bye as well.
We really disappointment to move on but we had to meet friends further on. However we have booked to return in October 2011 and cannot wait to be back there and enjoy all there is to offer
Thanks again to Mike & Cath for a wonderful stay - we'll be back.

The site is well kept and pitch sizes are excellent with countryside all around. It is very peaceful and the owners are very friendly and welcoming. There is a small games room with table tennis and a dart board for campers to use, also a splash pool to cool down in. Facilities are kept very clean and tidy, there is also a lovely gite on site. We stayed for a week and there is plenty to visit in the area, beautiful chateau's and a lovely town called Loches that has an excellent market weekly. This site is ideal for couples and families with perhaps slightly older children as there is no play areas which does mean it doesn't get too noisy. We enjoyed our stay on this site and would use it when visiting this area again.

Nothing is too much trouble for them, they even waited at the entrance of the site at 8.30 in the evening to make sure we did not drive past!
The site is in a great spot with huge pitches, good facilities and great surroundings.
Lots to do and see around Obterre - Loches is a medieval city that's well worth a visit especially on market day; Chenonceau is a beautiful chateau; the 1000 Lakes are peaceful and tranquil and offer some realxing walks; and the towns/villages of Montresor and Angles sur l'Aglin are beautiful.
Only disappointment was having to lift our corner steadies to leave the place!
Thanks again to Mike & Cath for a wonderful stay - we'll be back.

This is a magical place to get away from it all.
Mike, Cath and daughter Jackie made our six day visit a great success.
You must pay a visit to the Auberge de la Source in nearby St Florier. Monday to Friday they serve an 11 euro four course lunchtime menu which is to die for. (wine included). Make sure you book in advance.
Good biking country.
Fabulous plunge pool for cooling off.
Grounds kept to an exceptionally high standard
Toilets and showers spotless
We shopped in Chatillon sur Indre (15 mins by car}where there is a reasonably sized Intermarche and Netto.
Visit to Loches is worthwhile and the lakes visit must be high on your agenda.Mike will guide you on where to go.
Make sure you take Eco friendly sanitation fluid for your Thetford!
Booking essential in peak season generally.
What more can I say. 5 Star all the way
A bargain at 17 euros a night during August.

Just returned from a fantastic nine days at this site. Almost scared to shout about it too much in case I cant get booked in myself next year.
Pitches are HUGE mostly separated with trees, toilet and shower facilities good and a barn with table tennis and darts that also offers a cool retreat when gets to hot outside. Mike and Cath are fantastic hosts and work very hard to keep everything ship shape and are always on hand making sure they have happy campers. We went before the schools broke up so there were no children until our last day, if you are a family that enjoys being entertained then this is not a site for you. Its a case of pouring your own wine and watching the world go by reading a novel and chilling out in the tranquil surroundings.
The neighbouring town has a good restaurant and a good bakery where you can watch the bread been made through the window. Supermarkets are further a field the nearest been 15 minutes which opens on a sunday morning. Freezer blocks frozen and during our stay there was a fridge available for us to use also. Lots to visit in the local area, a safari type zoo within 8 km and the lakes of the brean parc a little further. Lots of pretty local towns as well with markets.

Mike and Kath and their family were just lovely, the most welcoming hosts we've ever experienced on a campsite! The weather was pretty awful, but had it not been we would have been happy to just hang round the campsite, it's a lovely peaceful place with plenty of room.
The barn with table tennis and darts came in handy in the wind and rain. My kids loved going and talking to the chickens and sheep (and Mike and Kath, they were lovely to the kids, and the eggs were yummy).
Big pitches, plenty of hookups, pretty surroundings round the barns and pond, well-maintained, excellent value. They seem to get a lot of regulars who I can imagine will come back every year.
Overall a very nice campsite.

We cannot agree more with all the comments about the friendliness & the warmth of the welcome provided by Mike, Kath & the whole family.
If you want a peaceful site, which is easy to get to, with good access even for large units. If you only call for a stopover on your way south expect to stay for longer, we did, booked for four nights & stayed for ten & will be returning later this year.

Well - what more can we say? It has all been said by other lucky visitors and it hasn't changed. Every comment is true.
Mike and Kath are attentive hosts and were especially helpful when we had problems with our caravan and, together with other members of their Family, were more than welcoming.
Large flat pitches, peace and tranquillity, loads to see and do (a visit to the Brenn National Park is a must for country wildlife lovers). Add to these attributes beautiful villages, loads of Chateaux and above all quiet roads. If you like fresh produce, there are local producers who call with fresh bread, croissants, meat and other types of food requirements - all brought to your doorstep (well nearly!).
We will return for a much longer period.
