The tranquil, green Le Rochat Belle-Isle campsite is situated in a park-like environment on the banks of the Indre river, which is excellent for fishing. Nearby, in Châteauroux, there are various facilities, so you will not miss them on the campsite. At the reception you are welcomed with a smile and you will be given information about the spacious and flat, well-demarcated camping pitches (80-130 m2) between the trees. Static caravans are also for rent.

The campsite (some 6 acres) is often used as a stopover campsite because of its favourable location along a traffic corridor to the south. The attractive feature of the campsite is the location at the river's edge and its proximity to a lovely recreational lake. Visitors appreciate the campsite for its beautiful location, walking distance to the recreational lake, swimming pool and running track.

Lac Belle-Isle

The nearby recreational Lac Belle-Isle has a large play area, beach showers and play ground equipment. The lake has a demarcated area where children can swim safely. From the restaurant at the water's edge, where the natives also like to eat, you have a splendid view. Guests also enjoy the dance evenings and performances that are organised here on a regular basis.

Wave pool

Opposite the campsite is a large, indoor swimming pool where campsite guests can swim free of charge. The heated indoor pool (750 m2) has water slides and waves occasionally. This wave pool is about a two minute walk from the campsite. Those who stay at the campsite for more than a week can, are eligible for a discount. There is also a toddler pool. The campsite itself offers a lot of amusement for children in the new playground, on the bouncy castle and on the trampoline. Naturally - as on any French campsite – there is also a table tennis table, a sports field and a jeux de boules pitch.

Travelling party: Family with children, 4 – 12 years

Liked - Friendly, quiet camp with lots to do in the area. Lovely old French building but also modern shops. Great for family bike rides and safe for the dog to run alongside. Shops not open all hours though so be prepared.

Pleasant camp site spoilt by the arrival of numerous travellers who took over the area we were camping in . Used all the water taps and electric points to feed their own units with no concern for anyone else

We are staying here for just 2 nights as a convenient stop-over on the way home to the UK. (We have used the site previously in 2015.) Very happy with the experience. A very friendly welcome at reception. Understandably, being January - cold and very few touring visitors - many facilities are closed down However the uni-sex sanitary facilities are perfectly adequate and wonderfully warm! The washing up room/ laundry room offers very hot water. WiFi is free and the signal is good. Our pitch offers a hard-standing concrete block which accommodates our 7.2 metre motorhome provides a good level base. Will happily come again.

If you are visiting this campsite with the silly idea you would like a night\'s sleep then dont. There is a local disco with an incredibly good sound system which does not cease its nocturnal function

Situated next to a lovely park with a lake, great for walks with the dog. The site had 1 mixed toilet block open which had 3 showers and 3 toilets. The site wasn’t extremely busy but there was enough people to warrant more than 3 showers - other toilet facilities had been closed down for the winter I presume. The worst thing was there was no chemical toilet emptying facility, apparently this used to be on the Aire which is outside the campsite but this was closed due to work being done on it. Surely this is not acceptable? The pitches could do with some maintenance i.e. grass cutting and better markings for each pitch. In a great location but needs some work.
