Campsite name is now Camping L'Ile Du Chateau, run by a lovely family who are continually working to keep the site looking well. Pitches were large, those on grass were actually some of the biggest we have seen anywhere, separated from neighbours by low hedging. All have ehu, there are water taps every few pitches and a chem disposal. There is a motorhome service point at the entrance for empty and fill. Wifi across the site, good strong signal. The loos and showers are old, but very, very clean. Plenty of hot water, push button showers but they lasted a few minutes per push. No swimming pool on site but there is a massive pool area just outside the gates for which we understand you are given a pass in with your camping fee. The site is 5 km from Angers city centre, bus run from the end of the road or you can use the cycle paths, took us about 20 minutes, There are cycle paths everywhere, we spent two separate days riding in each direction along the Loire, mainly off road but even when not we saw less than a handful of cars. We were there at a quiet time and loved the site and the area, am sure it gets quite hectic mid season but for us it was perfect and we will visit again.

Really enjoyed the site, the area is a bit quite around, daughter loved the play area and pool. The little bar served reasonable priced drinks ( made me happy at least) You can walk into the small town area but there isnt much there, supermarket is a good 15 - 20 mins walk. If I was in the area I would stay again. Next time I would take bikes with me Didnt do the kayaking as it wasn't particularly cheap and the river looked quite fast not ideal for a young daughter. Weather wasn't the greatest but you cant blame the owners for that. Everything I asked for was given and the staff were extremely helpful

Had reserved our pitch and paid a deposit online but upon check in, and having had 90 mins to kill before we could get in (lunch break!) we saw another pitch we wanted. This was no problem to sort out and we settled in not too far from the gate to the swimming pool complex. This gate has a coded keypad and you are given passes to get in free. There is a security guard there keeping an eye on the teenagers that seem to congregate there. The main gate to it is closed at 8pm which is a good thing because the cars and scooters are up and down, screaming and stuff going on. It was the weekend though so may have had something to do with it. The campsite is in a well appointed position near to the bridges and rivers in the town. They offer a bouncy castle, playground, pedal go kart hire, mini golf, snack bar (not wonderful food but varied menu at least). The showers, toilets, washing up sinks, washing machines etc are all in one 2 storey building centrally located. Showers were fab and always quiet and clean. We do not go out of sites in the motorhome usually and did not need to here either. There is a very long velo route along the Loire in both directions and we wore out the children and the dog with a long 3 hour ride. Supermarkets are within driving distance. I would suggest this is a good place for touring the Loire area. Used by all different nationalities.

We stayed at the Ile Du Chateau campsite for 5 nights in August and would recommend it for tents or caravans. The campsite is actually on an island in the middle of the Loire river near Angers. Very quiet location, lots of trees and shade (although we had rain!). Might want to choose a pitch away from a tree if rain is forecast. Campsite is fairly small. Pitches were fairly generous, and delineated by hedges. Typical pitch size was around 8m by 10m although there was some variation. There is no shop, but there is a small Epicerie which sells bread and croissants in the mornings - but you need to order the evening before! There is a small outdoor bar which also serves pizza and chips in the evening - maybe some other stuff as well, but probably straight from the freezer to the microwave! There are electrical hook-ups for each pitch and BBQ'a are allowed. Facilities are OK and very clean. Take your own toilet roll! One negative point was that the toilets are all without seats, so you either need to develop your thigh muscles, or take some anti-bacterial wipes! There is no swimming pool on the site itself, however there is a large outdoor water park literally on the other side of the fence, and admission is free if you're staying at the site. The water park has a slide, a large pool, and other stuff for kids, plus a playground and lots of grassy areas to sit. There are lifeguards at the pool as well. It wasn't very warm when we were there, but the kids didn't seem to care! There is a kids' playground on the site itself, a games rooms and some organised activities for children (in French). Other than that, there isn't much directly around the campsite other than a few very small French bars and a takeaway pizza place. There is a hypermarket and restaurants within a 5-10 minute drive and Angers itself has loads of restaurants and is about 15 minutes away. Things that we enjoyed with our kids of 6 and 8: 1) There's an outdoor ropes adventure in the woods northeast of Angers (about 20 minutes drive). We'd never done this before, and even the kids' section was fantastic. A definite high point of our holiday 2) Cycle hire - at the Kayak rental place on the island. You can cycle right into Angers, or into the country. All easy cycling 3) Kayaking: The Kayak rental place will drop you off up-river and then you just drift downsteam. The minimum age limit is 7, so we had to travel to Rocheforte for our 6 year old (but they had the same sort of arrangement) 4) Angers: Nice town 5) Tour of the Cointreau production facility. (OK, my wife just reminded me we didn't do this. The English version of the tour was at 1pm daily. Booking advised) Overall, I would recommend this as clean, quiet, pleasant site, with lots of things to do for kids roundabout. I would definitely consider it again if we wanted to visit Angers region.
