Why stay here ...

A touring-only site situated on the banks of the River Cher, Le Moulin Fort is a relaxing place to stay with an emphasis on wellbeing. It’s suited to couples and families with older children looking for a peaceful stay, and many visitors return time and again due to its excellent location, friendly atmosphere and hard-working staff.

The level pitches are of a good size and shaded by trees and shrubs, while facilities are well kept and include a bar and restaurant, pool and mini-golf. Twin-axle caravans and large motorhomes will find access to the pitches straightforward.

The site is a short walk from the Château de Chenonceau, once owned by Catherine de Medici and famous for its fairy tale design. The area is excellent for walking, cycling and kayaking, and you can also take a hot air balloon trip from Amboise or a boat trip from opposite the site and float under the Chenonceau arches.

Terrific, relaxed site on the river. Easy to find and access. Level, shaded pitches. Plenty of facilities including for kids. A lovely stroll to Chenonceau and lots to see a short drive away. Some may say rail noise or older toilet blocks bother them but I barely noticed either. Would... Show more

Lovely relaxed site

We have stayed at this site many times over the years and the new French owners have invested in the facilities, turning the once dingy bar into an excellent restaurant where non-campers are also welcome. The toilets have also been upgraded somewhat, plenty hot water and individual toilet roll... Show more

Peaceful short break.

We used this site as a two night stop over on our return from the Dordogne. We had a warm welcome and bread order taken for the next day. Pitches are large arranged in a series of ‘cul de sacs’ which we liked. There are a number of riverside pitches... Show more

Probably a good location, below average facilities

We only stayed 1 night and it rained pretty much all the time. The location appears good for visiting the Loire valley, but perhaps not a lot to come ‘home’ to. Toilet blocks and showers grubby and slippery and not a lot of care seems to be given which means... Show more

Delightful site

Lovely site in a great location. The pitches are spacious, albeit oddly-shaped in places. The staff are friendly and helpful. Fresh bread can be ordered daily. The on-site restaurant is excellent, although booking is a must as it is also popular with locals and can get really busy. Perfect base for... Show more

Good location, facilities a bit tired

We arrived on the Friday of the Whitsun BH weekend, but rang before to check there were pitches available, which we were assured there were. On arrival check-in was a little slow; we had the impression the young lady checking us in was fairly new to the job and being... Show more

New Owners and a Different vibe

We have stayed here many times over the years and used it as both a stopover and a longer stay site as the site is very relaxing and in a convenient location. I was surprised to see a sign saying that the site was full at the entrance, this was... Show more

Perfect location by the river Cher for exploring Chenonceaux

Great site for exploring the Loire. Don’t forget your bikes! Handy to get to Chenonceaux castle. As we’d visited before this time we hired a boat from the other side of the river from the campsite. Pool great - if a bit fresh!! We ate at restaurant on site ... Show more

Nice site but a bit tired

Lovely location by the river and close to plenty of chateaux and vineyards. Friendly and helpful staff, pitches fine. As mentioned, electricity supply and washrooms badly need investment.
