The Camper’s take

Updated June 2026

Small municipal campsite on the banks of the Loire, 2.5 km from Orléans via scenic cycling/walking paths. Tram and bus accessible nearby. Shaded pitches under large trees, spacious but slightly sloped. Basic amenities (rustic sanitation), very affordable (€17–23). Excellent for visiting Orléans, less suitable for extended stays. Reception quality varies by staff.

Highlights

  • Exceptional location near the Loire river with easy bike/tram access to Orléans
  • Very shaded and spacious pitches under large trees.
  • Very budget-friendly rate for a city visit
  • Reception is generally courteous and efficient (staff varies)

Good to know

  • Facilities regularly reported as dirty, with many cobwebs, insufficient cleaning
  • Reception closed 10 AM–3:30 PM; late arrivals complicated
  • Unpleasant smells coming from the Loire (low water levels)
  • Road noise audible, especially when the ground is wet and muddy with rain, leaves cluttering

Motorhome access : Narrow entrance, tricky maneuver reported. Pitches are tight, mostly level but terrain unspecified. Access possible if arriving late (gate open).
