Thanks to its location in the heart of the Loire Valley in a beautiful 6 ha forest, Camping La Grande Tortue is the perfect base for trips to the most famous castles of the Loire (Chaumont-sur-Loire, Chambord and Chenonceau). With 169 pitches, including various types of rental accommodation, the campsite has something to offer for everyone. You also have a wide choice of activities and facilities for a lovely holiday.

Special pitches for cyclists and walkers

The restaurant, swimming pool and playground form the pulsating heart of the campsite. This is surrounded by the pitches and the rental accommodation. The pitches are partly located in the shade, but in the centre some of the pitches have to make do without shade. There are special pitches for cyclists and walkers.

Comfort, Grand Comfort and Comfort Premium

The campsite offers pitches in all kinds of shapes and sizes. Guests bringing their own tent can choose between three levels, the standard pitch being at Comfort level, while you have water supply and drainage facilities at Grand Comfort level and Comfort Premium comes with own sanitary facilities. There is a wide choice of rental accommodation: mobile homes, caravans, huts on stilts and so-called Coco Sweet tents.

Restaurant and shop

The campsite has a restaurant where you can have a leisurely meal or enjoy a drink or an ice cream on the terrace. The restaurant also offers breakfast, half board (only in low season) and take-away dishes (including pizzas). The shop stocks local products and daily fresh bread.

€23 per night during lowseason

Liked - A fascinating area and a lovely campsite. Our pitch was huge, the trees are beautiful and give lots of shade (if you want it) and the pool and all amenities are excellent. The staff were all super friendly and helpful.

Liked - We made a last minute booking as the previous site we were on was not satisfactory so we arrived at La Grande Tortue with few expectations. We were given a choice of pitches, since we have a long motorhome, and found a very pleasant pitch near the facilities. These were clean, well-serviced and plenty of hot water. We have recommended the site to family and friends already!

Liked - A lovely site with plenty to keep the kids entertained. We only stayed 2 nights as a stop off before getting the ferry home from Dieppe. The facilities on site were clean, with plenty of showers, toilets etc. We had a live band on site on the Saturday night, and they were brilliant it was the last one of the season. The gentleman on reception was friendly and polite. There are plenty of leaflets in reception to help you to choose where you would like to visit. We will definitely stop here again.
Disliked - It is more an advisory to future visitors. We couldn't get booked into the restaurant on site as we left it too late. I would book early to avoid this happening.
