The Camper’s take
Updated June 2026
Small 58-pitch natural campsite on the Vienne riverbank, shaded and peaceful, ideal for couples and families. Warm welcome, spacious pitches to choose from, clean facilities with charming retro décor. Snack with local specialities some evenings. Excellent base for cycling, visiting villages and châteaux (Chinon, Saumur). Very competitive rates (16-20€/night). Relaxed, authentic atmosphere.
