from 3 reviews Write review

Are you looking for the tranquillity and space of the French countryside? You will find it at Camping Du Bois de Saint Hilaire, located in the French department of Vienne. You can also swim some lengths in the swimming pool or take a leisurely walk in the forest. The area is very suitable for cycling trips as well.

Camping in the forest

The campsite is easy to reach via the N-149, which leads you through a hilly and green landscape to a pine forest. The campsite is well maintained, with respect being paid to the natural vegetation of shrubs and tall pine trees. The pathways are partly unpaved and the pitches are very spacious. Each pitch is demarcated with natural vegetation, providing privacy and shade. There are some occasional picnic tables. Rental accommodation consists of a Mongolian yurt and luxuriously furnished glamping tents.

Swimming pool

The swimming pool is a standard type pool, but provides sufficient playing and swimming fun during warm days. It is located in full sun, so sunblock cream is recommended. It is surrounded by loungers with sun umbrellas where you can enjoy reading a book in peace.

Entertainment in various forms

The campsite has a mini golf course, two playgrounds and a recreation area with a table tennis table, table football game, pool table, small library and TV. No excuse to be bored here! You can go for fabulous walks in the adjacent forest.

Pizza from the wood-fired oven

On the campsite you can get a snack or a pizza from the wood-fired oven. There is also fresh bread daily. You will find a supermarket, a bakery and a snack bar within walking distance.

€19 per night during lowseason
Campsite accepts ACSI Club ID

One of the most pleasant sites we have visited in many years. A peaceful woodland setting with excellent pool, bar, free high speed WiFi and mine amiable English host is a great pizza chef! Highly recommended for 5 star.
