Nestled along the banks of the river Sarthe, this campsite offers a picturesque and tranquil escape within easy walking distance of the charming town of Sablé-sur-Sarthe. The setting is truly fabulous, with generous, flat pitches bordered by hedges that ensure excellent privacy and a comfortable stay. Immaculate facilities are a standout feature, with visitors consistently praising the spotless toilets, showers, and swimming pool. The staff are exceptionally friendly, helpful, and welcoming, often noted for their willingness to speak English, which creates a positive atmosphere. A clean swimming pool is available for refreshment, though it can feel a bit crowded at peak times. Children are well catered for with a dedicated playground and large play area, making it a family-friendly choice despite its peaceful ambiance. The location is ideal for exploring, with a pleasant 15-minute walk or short bike ride along the riverbank leading to the town's excellent shops, cafes, bakeries, and restaurants. Guests can also enjoy kayaking on the river, with rental options available directly on site. Additional thoughtful amenities include a bread and pastry ordering service, a bar known as the Hippo bar, and a laundry with a washing machine. The site maintains a quiet and relaxing environment, making it a favorite stopover for travelers heading north or south. Practical features like good WiFi, electric hookups on every pitch, and a motorhome service point add to the convenience. Some practical drawbacks include a shower button that requires holding, limited bar hours, and a lack of heating in the shower block. Directions can be tricky, as sat-nav may lead to unsuitable roads for motorhomes, so following local signage is advised. A few isolated incidents of theft from an awning have been reported, though such instances appear rare. The presence of farm animals like goats, sheep, and chickens adds a charming, rustic touch to the experience. Overall, this campsite delivers exceptional value for money with its blend of natural beauty, impeccable cleanliness, and friendly service.
