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.

The parcel is well situated for enjoying the Loire Valley. Our mobile home was spotless and well equipped, the site was shady with lots of wildlife. We had a great time

Liked - The pool, the location, the pitch and the bar area.
Disliked - Some showers were cold or changed temperature. Soaps not always filled up. Table service for bar would be a good extra service. Service at restaurant could be better at busier times

Liked - Big pitches, i love the private sanitary block, it's such an extra to the whole camping experience. The main sanitary blocks have been redone since last year and they are absolutely beautiful. There's kids- sanitary stations too. Lovely playground for the children, great safe swimming pool. The kids love the bouncy house and the mini disco. Lots of activities to do withing a 30min drive around. Very friendly and welcoming staff, the catering crew is also very hospitable.
Disliked - The animation team wasn't up to par. Usually they're great with children, but this year lacked. I think they've had complaints, because the second week of our stay things seemed improved. Still not the same as usual. This will not keep us from coming back since we know its a different team every year, and the 'lenny club' idea is super fun.
The little camping store could be better equipped, it always looks a little sad, and the bread has gotten way overpriced this year.
The cleanliness of the pool bathrooms should be improved upon too.
None of these remarks are worth staying away over.

Travelling party: Couple

A very good site close to the Loire Cycle track. We rode to Amboise, a lovely town, and back - about an hour and a half each way. The swimming pool was still warm in September and we enjoyed some lovely late afternoon sunshine. Lots for children to do on play equipment during the season which I am sure would be busy. We didn’t use food option but sure atmosphere would be good in August. Not many sites with satellite reception but we found one near the reception. Wifi is good but not free. Staff were friendly and helpful.
