Montsoreau Sunday market not to be missed

We had not stayed before but enjoyed our 4 days here as it was so convenient for visiting the area on both sides of the river. The pitches are varied with some being a bit small for larger outfits and the site is a busy one. Interesting camping accommodation for cyclists. Good restaurant where we were served a wonderful duck dish. Bar area. Morning baguettes/croissants. Excellent bric-a-brac and vegetable market in Montsoreau on Sunday morning all along the river bank.

Nice site on the river

Stayed in our motorhome for 4 nights in June 2024. Lovely site. Pitches quite small. 5 mins walk to Montsoreau with supermarket and boulangerie. Good base for cycling.

Pleasant site but pitches too close together

A pleasant enough site with good facilities though the pitches are quite close together. Lacks restaurants within walking distance though there is a fantastic butcher’s just a walk away from the site. We probably wouldn’t stay here again just because we have seen a lot of the area and don’t feel the need to come back.

Not a 4star site

Came on recommendation to this site. Pitches are good size. Booked 3 nights Never used the bar or restaurant We were given a pitch directly next to the play park not ideal I asked for a different one of 4 and was told no they are booked. Hmmm I never saw anything in them in 3 days. Rather unkept and charging enough to be better maintained. Would not come back to this site.

Great location right on the banks of the Loire

Very interesting site, located on the banks of the Loire just outside the town of Montsereau. A member of the C’est Si Bon group of sites, it is in many ways a little difficult to complete a review on the site. Let me qualify that by saying there was absolutely nothing wrong with the site or the facilities or it’s location. Unfortunately our allocated pitch was just over the road from the swimming pool complex which was a little noisy and added to that there was a bouncy castle opposite, where the pumps were running from 10 am till almost 7 pm with a continual whining noise. However, despite this we spent four lovely days here. It was less than a 10 minute walk into the village, where there were two bars, a restaurant, patisserie, and a small convenience store. On site, there was a bar restaurant and you could order bread for delivery the following day, but we chose to walk up into town. Staff were friendly English is spoken, all the site facilities were clean, tidy and well maintained. Good location with plenty of walks and cycle trails leading in both directions from the site. Definitely worth a visit, and we would come back again sometime if we visit this area again. There is a mention of the metal bridge over the Loire at Montsereau - It is manageable with care - We arrived and departed over the bridge without any issues.

Still Little Britain

Good area for exploring local chateaux, cycling etc, loads to see. You need to take your own bikes as nowhere nearby to hire them. Reception were always busy, but tried their best .Lovely boulangerie in the village within a couple of minutes' walk, plus other little shops, bars, cafes etc. Good Sunday market, and 2nd Sunday of the month there is a large flea market in Montsereau. It was very hot in June when we were there, so couldn't do much sightseeing beyond midday. As per a previous review, there was a high proportion of British 'vans here, including a specialist caravan rally. Depends on whether or not that would bother you. There were issues with unreliable electricity supply voltage when people started to cook in the evenings and then switch on their Air Con. People around us were having to reset their power at the posts. Don't try to use domestic-style appliances, and electric bbqs are banned. We had a private sanitaire, which meant a bigger pitch and no queueing. Be prepared to clean it yourself at the end of stay - otherwise it's 70 euros. One thing we liked was that the site enforced the 'no arrivals before 1400' rule so you all got a bit of peace and quiet. There is very little off-road waiting area, so usually a queue at 1400, but if you have booked then you'll be OK as the site was full every day we were there. Someone else has mentioned the enclosed steel bridge just west of Montsereau - do not let your sat nav take you that way!

Great site next to the Loire

Spent two nights here early September and unfortunately caught some rain so pitch very muddy - nothing anyone can do about that! We liked the location and found the access to the bike paths excellent. Cycled to Saumur and had lovely lunch before heading back and visiting the troglodyte caves. Fantastic and not to be missed. Restaurant very popular but we didn’t visit. Right on edge of pretty town and lovely castle.

Little Britain

No t the sort of site we like to many British vans/ caravans. Felt like a British enclave. Prefer a smaller site with more international. Location nice but nothing in village but nice if you cycle up to villages further away. Site staff friendly and good cleanliness.( toilet paper provided) if with ACSI don’t book over website as won’t get ACSI price but phone the. Dropped changer there. Would not go back.

Lovely Location

We stopped here just one night between main sites. The pitches were great, large, flat, and some shade. We also liked the location. Our only issue was the evening entertainment - a band - they were entertaining but did not finish until 23:20 - We felt this was late for a family campsite.

GOOD CAMPSITE IN GREAT POSITION

We were in Plot 82 - right opposite the children's play area. My fault for not requesting a quieter position - although that would not be guaranteed anyway. Lots of children were having a great time but unfortunately screamed a lot! On top of that there was a "bouncy castle" affair which gave a continual "whooshing" noise as it kept air pumped into it. It was supposed to stop at 7pm but never did. I saw children, unsupervised, trying to get onto the top of the "wall". Most failed but one little girl did and I feared she would slip onto the wrong side and end up on the hard ground. She didn't but I reported it to Reception. Unfortunately, they only said they put a notice up (too small to see from a distance) telling anyone who sees rules? being broken to report it. Legally, doesn't cover it, I shouldn't think! And I told them I wasn't expecting to be responsible if someone's child falls. They provide the climbing equipment, they should ensure it is used safely. That apart, the staff were extremely friendly and helpful and spoke good english. There was a swimming pool, bar/restaurant, baguettes delivered everyday to order and a small shop with milk (not proper milk like ours!). The toilet block had separate toilets for ladies and gents. The showering cubicles were mixed. It was quite busy and shower cubicles not 100% clean but overall, the cleanliness was of a good standard. The pitches were separated by hedges mostly, which shaded sunshine - although it was a cloudy week so didn't make much difference and would be welcome on hot days. Monsoreau is a pretty place to wander around and there are lots of "Velo" cycle routes nearby and it is flat. Most campers had bicycles and there are safe cycle lanes to use. Quite close to Saumur, which is a lovely town and has a great food and clothing market on Saturday mornings. I would recommend this site to families, but if I stayed again it would be away from the playground.
