Camping de Mars is beautifully situated in one of the most beautiful parts of Central France: the Loire! The camping site has everything one needs for a carefree holiday for the entire family. There is a heated pool for water fun and some small-scale entertainment for children. Nature lovers will also really feel at home here. It is the only camping site in the vicinity with the label 'Clé Verte' as proof of their sustainable policy.

Mars Peninsula

Camping de Mars lies in a very unusual location, namely on the peninsula with the same name at the heart of the largest meander of the Loire River. From here you have a magnificent view of the river and the resevoir below.

The camping site is located in a quiet and natural setting. This feeling is also reflected in the roomy pitches which have been purposefully kept as natural as possible. There are touring pitches for hikers/cyclists and natural sites without electricity for (tent)campers. Rental units are also provided (basic Trigano-bungalow tents, mobile homes and luxury cottages with covered, wooden veranda).

Restaurant

You can find fresh bread, croissants, beverages, ice cream or a lovely meal in the restaurant. The menu includes barbecue dishes, French fries, pizzas and salads. The terrace offers a glorious view of the Loire. After dinner you are treated to a lovely sunset. There is a small supermarket on the premises.

Sport and games

Children will enjoy themselves on the trampoline and bouncing cushion at camping site De Mars. Other activities: games, table tennis, jeu de boules, beach volleyball and table football. There is a small-scale entertainment team that organises all kinds of activities (archery tournaments and visits to an educative farm).

Fraaie camping die prachtig boven een bocht in Loire gelegen is. Sommige plaatsen hebben een schitterend uitzicht op deze rivier. Mooi zwembad dat ook in september open is. Het sanitair is up to date, maar mag wat grondiger onderhouden worden. Inkoopmogelijkheden alleen in Roanne dat zo’n 15 km verder ligt (beneden). Fietsen kan voor mensen met een goede conditie of een e-bike met een turbostand en een zware batterij. Er is een broodservice : de toeleverende bakker is een vakman.

Sehr schöner Campingplatz, tolle Lage, sehr schöner Blick auf die Loire. Die Leiter waren super nett. Für das Fußballspiel von Deutschland bei der em stellte sie sogar ihr Tablett zur Verfügung obwohl parallel Frankreich gegen Portugal lief.

Sehr schön gelegener kleiner Campingplatz mit Wasser- und Stromanschluss am Platz. Die Inhaber sind sehr freundlich und sprechen ein sehr gutes Englisch, was in dieser Gegend wirklich eine Seltenheit ist. Die Sanitäranlagen fanden wir leider nicht so schön. Anfang der Saison waren sie noch nicht vom Winterschmutz befreit, sie sind offen und zugig gestaltet, was Anfang April doch recht kalt war. Auch fehlte Seife im Seifenspender am Waschbecken. Glücklicherweise brauchten wir die Sanitäranlagen nicht so häufig, weil wir alles an Bord haben, aber wenn man darauf angewiesen ist, ist es nicht so toll für einen Vier-Sterne-Platz. Die Waschmaschinenbenutzung fand ich pro Wäsche ganz schön happig. Zumal die Maschine nicht selbst programmierbar ist und das automatische Programm gerade einmal eine halbe Stunde bei Kochwäsche läuft. Da wurden verschmutzte Handtücher und Vorleger (wir haben Tiere) leider nicht sauber. Ansonsten ist der Platz sauber und schön angelegt. Zum Pool kann ich leider nichts sagen, weil er trotz Erwärmung noch zu kalt war. Da es sich um einen Familienbetrieb handelt, ist die Rezeption nicht immer besetzt und manchmal muss man etwas warten. Das machen die Inhaber durch ihre nette, unkomplizierte Art aber wieder wett. Das Frühstück ist gut und schmackhaft, auch kann man ein paar kleinere Sachen vor Ort im Laden kaufen. Abends ist die Bar meist geöffnet und bietet auch ein paar leckere Cocktails an. Das Dörfchen Cordelle ist klein aber schön. In die nächstgrößere Stadt Roanne fährt man ca. eine halbe Stunde mit dem Auto und findet dort alles zum Einkaufen was man braucht. Sehr zu empfehlen ist das kleine Chateau de la Roche in der Nähe, das sich nach Öffnung des Staudammes heute mitten in der Loire befindet. An Ausflugszielen mit dem Auto mangelt es nicht. In der näheren Umgebung befindet sich ein Rundweg an der Loire unten bei einer Wassersportschule. Ansonsten ist es schon gut wenn man mobil ist, um weitere Ziele in der schönen Umgebung zu erkunden. Insgesamt ein schöner Platz mit ein paar Abstrichen, aber durchaus zu empfehlen.

Les emplacements sont bien. L\'environnement est joli mais ce camping qui est loin de tout village ne propose qu\'un resto médiocre et pas du tout italien.
Les douches sont tièdes et les propositions randos fort réduites.

Travelling party: Family with children, 12 - 18 years

Liked - kleiner Camping, ruhig; sauberer Pool
Disliked - die Lage an der grossen Loire-Schlaufe wird grossartig angekündigt, aber nicht erwähnt, dass das Baden in der Loire gerade unterhalb des Campings nicht gestattet ist. Wir sind von der Loire generell als Badefluss (Wasserqualität, Ufer, Zugänglichkeit) an diesem Ort enttäuscht.
