The Camper’s take
Updated June 2026
Intercommunal campsite pleasantly located on the banks of the Vienne River, facing Chinon Castle, a 10-minute walk from the medieval town centre. Spacious, shaded pitches on grass. Friendly welcome from new management. Older sanitary facilities with variable cleanliness standards. Noisy in evenings and early mornings. Good value for money.
