The French town of Doué-la-Fontaine is located in the Maine-et-Loire department between Angers and Saumur. This region in the Loire is known for its castles, vineyards, and picturesque villages. But also the impressive marl quarry of Falun. The Les Rives du Douet campsite is a small-scale family campsite that can be used as a base for visiting these attractions.

Spacious pitches and camper vans

The Les Rives du Douet campsite is spacious and situated on a site consisting mainly of grass fields with the occasional tall tree. Paved paths lead you to your spot. There are spacious pitche – both in the sun and in the shade. The rental accommodations are situated on al separate terrain. Near the reception are about 20 camper places.

Also for people passing through

With the city just around the corner, you won’t need many amenities on the campsite itself. Within a few minutes cycling distance, you will find numerous shops, supermarkets, cafés, and restaurants. There is a launderette directly on the campsite. There are also shared barbecue facilities and a campsite shop with regional products, groceries, and (in high season) fresh bread. The Les Rives du Douet campsite is also popular with people passing through. Especially for this group of campers, it is possible to order a breakfast and lunch basket.

Water fun next to the campsite

At this campsite, your daily dose of water fun is literally just around the corner. Here, you will find the public indoor swimming pool, which camping guests can use at a reduced rate. The swimming complex has a large (competition) pool, a paddling pool, and a large water slide. You can also go fishing in the Douet stream.

Liked - It was quiet, we were given a lot of helpful information about the site, facilities and the local area. The staff took great care to ensure the site was well maintained and cleaned and they went above and beyond in ensuring we had all we needed. The showers were the best I've found on any site so far and there was toilet paper in the loos. Great!
Disliked - If the showers in Sanitaires 1 could match the ones in Sanitaires 2 in terms of layout, that would be perfect!
