Château de Chanteloup is a castle campsite in the Sarthe close to Le Mans. The campsite is situated on the beautiful estate around the castle with lawns, forests and ponds. The camping pitches on grass are spacious and demarcated by trees, flower fields and woodpiles.

Estate campsite

The camping fields are located around the castle and the historical outbuildings. The history of Chanteloup, originally a small stately home, dates back to 1400, but the main buildings are from the fifteenth and nineteenth centuries. The swimming pool is nicely blended into the landscape and is surrounded by lawns and greenery.

A sense of calmness prevails at the swimming pool. Not far from the swimming pool you will find playground equipment for children, such as a trampoline, bouncer and swings.

Historical guest quarters

Château de Chanteloup has five guest quarters established in the old buildings. They are furnished with antique or rural family heirlooms, yet equipped with modern comforts like television and dishwasher. Almost all quarters have a private garden with garden furniture, loungers and a barbecue. In addition, there are glamping tents which have also been partly fitted out in authentic style. Children will be delighted with their own small tent next to the large tent with all conveniences.

Plenty to do

The campsite also offers amenities for sports and games. There are soccer and volley ball fields and a fitness area. Activities such as sports tournaments, games and building huts, are organised on a regular basis. In high season there is a mini club for children aged 4 to 10. Activities such as canoeing, paintballing or tree climbing are available in the immediate vicinity. Car racing fans can go to the racing circuit of the 24 hours of Le Mans.

Campsite accepts ACSI Club ID

Liked - Beautiful campsite surrounding a charming castle. The campsite has quite a few pitches, but never feels like a large campsite due to the pitches and other accomodations being so spread out.
The saturday evening bbq is wonderful. So was casino night.
Disliked - We went wakeboarding, as offered by the campsite on their entertainment board. We met a reception at the agreed time.
In the end we were just given the address of where to go. We drove ourselves, and made our own booking for the normal price.
What was the point of this being 'organised' by the campsite? We would have preferred to go by ourselves at a time of our choosing.

Liked - We have been coming here for years and despite missing Dominique & Jean-William we feel that the new owners (Benoit & Valerie - 3 years now !) have kept it to the high stands from before and have even improved quite a few of the facilities
Disliked - Only because I work from the motorhome the wifi could be a bit more stable!

Liked - There is a great atmosphere when you arrive at this site. It was our third visit and although we booked high season and last minute they managed to give me my favourite spot in the woods!!! So kind and accommodating. We ate at the restaurant two nights and the food was very good and service excellent. This is a lovely well run site with everything you need. Perfect!
Disliked - All good.

Liked - Wonderful holiday again with Valerie and Benoit and the amazing dream team.
My teenagers thoroughly enjoyed the new activities for this year including the Chanteloup Olympics and the Casino night. Can’t wait book again for 2025
Disliked - The toilet blocks were not as clean as they could have been this year, particularly the block located at the entrance to the site which often lacked toilet paper and hand soap, however, they were very busy and didn’t spoil our stay at all.

Liked - Very relaxing stay.
Disliked - The lake was overgrown and looked stagnant not as seen on the brochure. We wanted to fish as this was part of the reason we chose the campsite.

Liked - We enjoyed our short stay here as a stopover on our way to Dordogne. We had a nice spot in the Bois area which felt very peaceful and the facilities were clean. The bakery visit each morning was appreciated. The staff were always friendly and helpful. We’d recommend.
