At the edge of the Indre region, on the banks of the river of the same name, lies Camping Le Val Vert en Berry. This small-scale family campsite - which has the European Ecolabel and the Camping Quality label - is located in a green valley a few kilometres from the charming village of Le Châtre. The surroundings served as inspiration for the French writer George Sand in the eighteenth century. Come and visit us and you will soon see why she was so attached to this stitch.

Friendliness and plenty of space

This terraced campsite exudes luxury and looks very well cared for. The pitches are spacious and you can choose between a shady or a sunny pitch. There are also some log cabins for rent. The sanitary facilities on the campsite are well maintained.

Regional products

Camping Le Val Vert en Berry is strongly linked to the region. This is also reflected in the campsite restaurant. Here, they mainly use local products and serve tasty side dishes. To enjoy the beautiful surroundings while eating, the campsite has a terrace where you can dine under parasols.

From bungee jumping to fishing

On the various lawns at the campsite you can kick a ball or play badminton. For the smaller children, there is a nice field with some playground equipment. But there are also plenty of activities in the vicinity of the campsite. Daredevils can go tree climbing, kayaking or bungee jumping. Or go fishing in one of the surrounding lakes. Back at the campsite, you can cool off in the lovely swimming pool.

Campsite accepts ACSI Club ID

Liked - Really friendly and helpful reception on arrival and was shown all the facilities. The facilities were clinically clean and the campsite itself was week maintained and cared for. The restaurant was excellent - staff were friendly and helpful and food was good and value for money taking into account the quality of ingredients and location. We will be going back in future having found this gem of a campsite
Disliked - The only major improvement they could make is to control the weather which none of us can sadly. A minor suggestion is that manhole cover for the chemical toilet waste water was a bit heavy to lift.

Liked - The gentleman at reception when I arrived was very informative and polite. He explained where everything was and then walked me to the site. The ablutions were spotlessly clean. There was a restaurant on site which I did not get to use but I have heard it is very popular with people from the town.
The swimming pool was great.
If I am ever in the area again I will definitely be going back there.
Disliked - None

Beautiful campsite located a short walk from La Chatre in lovely surroundings. Large pitches, very well cared for separated by clipped hedges. Modern toilet block and amenities immaculately maintained. Pool area is spacious and clean and several mountain bike trails marked from the campsite entrance. On site restaurant of really good quality and reasonably priced. One of the very best campsites I’ve stayed in.

Liked - Fairly small and quiet site with excellent facilities in a very pleasant and convenient location
Disliked - My internet search, via Apple Maps, sent me on a slightly complicated route. But once I found the place I realised how easy and convenient it was.
