Why stay here ...

This established site is set in a park with views over the château and a small lake. It’s well-maintained, with huge grassy pitches and a friendly atmosphere. Although it offers entertainment and facilities for families, it’s a relaxing place to escape to and enjoy the natural scenery and local wildlife in the heart of rural France.

The restaurant, housed in one of the estate’s restored outbuildings, serves excellent cuisine, and you can enjoy swimming in the pool or canoeing on the lake.

Fishing is allowed in the lake but the site have a 'no kill' policy.

The medieval town of Boussac is a short walk from the site and has a range of amenities. A 30km drive takes visitors to Montluçon, a sizeable town which is dominated by its 15th century château and home to some fine townhouses and pretty public gardens.

Outstanding Site

Le Château de Poinsouze
We stayed on this site for 5 nights towards the end of June. What a wonderful site. We received a lovely, sincere welcome on arrival, were shown to a sizeable, flat, pitch with full service facilities including black waste. The site was exceptionally, well maintained with regular cleaning of a large shower/toilet block. The restaurant was extremely popular, so much so that , if you were unable to book a table you could always get a takeaway and the quality of the food was particularly good. This was an idyllic site and was extremely peaceful and picturesque. Unfortunately, the weather, during our stay, wasn't particularly kind which prevented us using the swimming pool, but we nevertheless took advantage of the local walks, in this rural part of France. The owners, Claudine, Jean and son obviously took great pride in making sure their guests were well looked after and nothing appeared to be too much trouble. We will certainly be looking to return in the future.

Oasis of peace & quiet

Le Château de Poinsouze
As we were driving towards the campsite, storm warnings had been regularly signposted everywhere on our motorway route. We were allocated a huge super pitch at the far end of the site which provided water & grey water disposal and elsan chemical disposal on each pitch. The pitch sloped towards the lake and was huge (at around 300 sq mts). The storms duly arrived during night one and two!! The toilet & shower block also housed a laundry; dish washing and an information room in the centre of the site. There was also tiny shop (poorly stocked) along with a bar; restaurant and swimming pool at the opposite end of the site (around a 12 minute walk from our pitch). Bread and croissants were able to be ordered and collected through the reception. The area was lacking somewhat in places of interest but within five miles there are two very scenic places worthy of a visit. The first was where truly massive volcanic boulders had been laid down many millenia before and, secondly there is a viewing tower with 360 degree views across the whole region that had the appearance of a lighthouse. Both these places are south of Boussac. Site owners Claudine and Jean were looking forward to becoming busier soon after our stay as we reckoned on no more than a dozen to fifteen units being on site at any one time during our week.

What a gem !!!

Le Château de Poinsouze
What a gem. My wife and I have just returned from 2 weeks at this delightful site. For couples this must be one of the best sites for a relaxed and peaceful holiday. The facilities and site in general are first class & spotless and the staff were always attentive without being over bearing. The weather whilst we were there was not typical, but everywhere seems to have suffered from unreliable weather. We had long hot spells which usually ended in a thunderstorm. I also enjoyed the fishing which will suit the casual fisherman. 9 x double figure carp (best 17lb) in 4 short trips - I found early morning best but also caught during the heat of the day, but be warned there is little shade and it can get hot. All in all a very nice holiday and we will return. CliveNMargaret

Fantastic Poinsouze

Le Château de Poinsouze
We arrived in early July and stayed for six nights. The site was very quite which surprised us, because everything about Le Chateau de Poinsouze we thought was fabulous! The reception staff were very friendly and helpful, the pitch was enormous (leveling blocks required) with uninterrupted views over the lake. The shower/WC/Laundry facilities were all spotless and the swimming pool was never crowded. The local area is very rural with some lovely little villages that are well worth exploring. All in all great location for some R&R.

A beautiful and peaceful site

Le Château de Poinsouze
We stayed here in early July and the site was still very quiet. We had a lovely pitch overlooking the lake - very big although we needed levelling blocks. Views and wildlife amazing. The toilet facilities are very good and clean, the shop well stocked and we had a nice meal in the restaurant. The staff are very friendly and helpful particularly when we needed to visit the gendarmerie to report damage to our caravan on the motorway. We would never have managed on our own without Monsieur accompanying us! We would love to return here.
