Questions:- (This review is from the point of view of motorhomers driving a Bessacarr 769 tag axle – 8.56m)
What are the pitches like?               Â
Perfect – nice and big with plenty of room for our outfit. Total pitches = 110
Grass pitches with a base of sand, so well draining. It’s rained most of the time since we arrived but we have no problems.
Is there water on each pitch?           Â
No but drinking water stands available all around the site. Suggest filling up near reception before pitching up
What is the electric like?          Â
Says 16A, but can’t be more than 10A – we tripped out 3 times, so be careful with electricity use 🙂
Drainage?    Â
Yes – by the car park
What’s the site access like?       Â
Excellent – if you’re arriving from the east you will need to continue up to the roundabout and come back in order to access the access road
What are the Sanitary facilities like?   Â
Excellent facilities; heated, clean; the ladies includes a baby changing station and baby bath.
Toilets:Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 4 cubicles in both ladies and gents (+ urinals to gents)
Toilet paper provided? Yes
Showers:              4 showers in both. Plenty of space, hooks to hang clothes etc. Calv was perfectly happy with them
What other facilities are there?   Â
Bins and CWD
Dishwashing area (and laundry sinks)
Washing machine and drier (7Euros and 4Euros respectively)
Play Area and football pitch. Trampoline
Reception (open from 3pm) with small shop – sells plenty of wine!
Bungalows and lodges for hire
Is there any internet; if so how much and how good?  Â
Yes – free. Not a fantastic signal – but our own is fine
Very friendly, helpful lady in reception. She was happy to help me with my rusty French!
How much is it?    Â
We paid 17Euro per night including electric – using the ACSI card, + 1.10Euro per night local tax
What’s the area like?           Â
Lovely – About 4 miles from Tours (you can cycle there weather permitting – the cycle path runs past the campsite); 12 miles from Amboise in the other direction and about the same distance from Chateau de Chenonceoux (there are numerous other chateaux to visit!) Amboise is definitely worth a visit 🙂
More detail:
We liked:-
The price and the facilities. And the area. Lots of cycle rides possible
The welcome in reception
The general ambience
We didn’t like so much:-
