Summary created out of 163 reviews

The park is beautifully situated along the Loire and the Canal de Briare, with spacious pitches and plenty of nature all around. Guests appreciate the friendly welcome and the tranquility of the grounds, as well as the central location near Briare. Major areas for improvement are the outdated and insufficiently cleaned sanitary facilities, where guests regularly miss toilet paper and soap, and the maintenance of the grass and pool which falls short.

    Contant Campground was very unpleasant.
    A mistake was made during the reservation (my own mistake) -> The campground couldn’t be reached by phone (no voicemail) -> After refusing to cancel the reservation and issue a refund.
    A commercial operation, a victim of its own success?

    Contant camping très désagréable.
    Erreur faite dans la réservation (ma propre erreur) -> Camping n’est pas joignable au téléphone (sans messagerie) -> après refus de l’annulation et du remboursement.
    Usine commerciale, victime de son propre succes ?

    I’m traveling with my little dog through several countries by bike, and I can say this is the most expensive campsite I’ve seen so far. It’s also the only one that charges an additional five euros for the dog and six euros for electricity—in my case, just to charge my phone. There were only 3 public electrical outlets at the swimming Pool area.

    I find it very expensive for what it had to offer (26€ bringing your own tent, with a dog and the possibility to charge your phone) They don’t even provide toilet paper in the bathrooms. Plus no cold water in the shower (temperature was 38 degrees)

    The positive side is that it’s very spacious and has plenty of shade.

    A pleasant, shaded campground. I was able to choose my own spot. There’s a pool, a common area with electrical outlets, and a small kitchen. The restrooms are very nice. It’s ideal for accessing the Loire River, which is right across the street. It’s 15 minutes from town, where you’ll find shops.

    Camping agréable, ombragé. J'ai pu choisir librement mon emplacement. Piscine, salle à disposition avec prises et petite cuisine. Sanitaires très agréables. Idéale pour l'accès à la Loire qui se trouve de l'autre côté de la route. 15min du bourg pour les commerces.
