Campsites Centre: Chateaus, woods and the Loire Valley

The River Loire is the backbone of Central France and is the source of all kinds of enjoyment around your campsite. Beside its banks, the Loire Valley (Val de Loire), you will not have to wander far from your campsite to find yourself immersed in a fairytale landscape. The French region of Centre is dotted with romantic chateaus: why not spend a day at the 440-room Château Chambort or at the hugely popular Château Chenonceau?

From a Loire campsite, you’re ideally based to enjoy the gorgeous countryside. The area is easily explored by bike, riverboat or on foot. You should certainly take a nice long walk through the deep green woods while camping in central France.
