Ranking campsites in Indre-et-Loire without mentioning tourist tax, summer water restrictions, or bike accessibility is not very useful. Our selection is based on three filters: quality of water facilities, relevance of the location in relation to the Loire and Indre Valley castles, and verified reviews. Ten establishments, from the most recommendable to the most specialized.
1. Camping Lac de Rillé – Huttopia
Rated 8.9/10 on aggregators, this Huttopia campsite stands out for its lakeside setting and nature-focused positioning. The Huttopia brand applies a strict set of guidelines for landscape integration: spaced pitches, wooden sanitary facilities, and limited lighting at night.
Lac de Rillé offers monitored swimming access in season, which compensates for the lack of a water park. For families with children, the “camping without an artificial pool” format may be surprising, but the quality of the lake water and water activities (canoeing, fishing) more than make up for it. Be sure to check if you’re looking for where to find a campsite in Indre-et-Loire with this type of nature offering.
2. Camping Château de la Rolandière
Rated 8.6/10, la Rolandière plays the domain card with a heated pool and wooded park. The campsite is located in immediate proximity to the castles of Chenonceau and Amboise, making it an effective base for exploring the Loire Valley without multiplying trips.
The mobile homes offered cover configurations of two to three bedrooms. Wi-Fi is available throughout the site, a point to check systematically as several campsites in the department only provide reception.
3. Camping Les Patîs
With a score of 8.5/10, Les Patîs focuses on a family-friendly format without pretension but with solid fundamentals. The atmosphere remains that of a modest-sized campsite, far from holiday factories.
This type of establishment is suitable for campers who prioritize tranquility and proximity to nature over water slides. The location allows access to the banks of the Loire by bike, a plus for fans of La Loire à Vélo.
4. Camping La Mignardière
Water park and kids’ club place La Mignardière in the category of campsites oriented towards large families. Rated 8.4/10, the establishment offers a complete package with on-site dining and activities during peak season.
Point of attention: during periods of high heat, prefectural orders for water restrictions may affect the operation of water facilities. In Indre-et-Loire, a departmental order dated September 25, 2026, was enforced on September 27. Before booking a summer stay, check the conditions on VigiEau or directly with the campsite.
5. Camping Parc de Fierbois
Fierbois is one of the most well-known campsites in the department. Its water park with slides and heated pool attracts a loyal family clientele. The domain extends over a significant wooded area, with shaded pitches and varied rental accommodations.
On the pricing side, the total cost of a stay exceeds the displayed price: the tourist tax varies by municipality and accommodation category. Data published on data.gouv.fr allows for comparison of amounts voted by municipality for the current year.
6. Camping Le Parc des Allais
Rated 4 stars and managed by the Tohapi group, Le Parc des Allais spans 16 hectares. It offers mobile homes (two to three bedrooms, up to six people) and equipped tents. The establishment accepts VACAF vouchers, which broadens access for beneficiary families.
The Loire Valley, classified as a UNESCO World Heritage site, is accessible from the campsite. The cycling routes of the Indre valleys allow for connecting several tourist sites without a car, provided you check the exact connection between the campsite and the network.
7. Village Vacances Les Violettes
Located in Amboise, this holiday village combines accommodation and supervised activities. The heated and retractable pool has been completely renovated, accompanied by a hammam. Qualified instructors supervise clubs by age group, from 3 to 17 years old.
The activities offered go beyond the standard:
- Introduction to African dance and creative workshops for the youngest
- Mountain biking and slackline courses for teenagers
- Library and insect hotel for calm days
This “holiday village” format distinguishes itself from a classic campsite by the supervision: each age group has a dedicated program.
8. Camping Les Acacias
Les Acacias is suitable for self-sufficient campers looking for a simple pitch at a controlled price. The establishment does not aim for high-end but offers basic services: decent sanitary facilities, defined pitches, and Wi-Fi access in common areas.
Its location places it at a reasonable distance from Chinon and its vineyards, a focus that other campsites in the ranking do not cover as well. For lovers of both wine heritage and castles, this is a key criterion.
9. Camping La Citadelle
Rated 4 stars, La Citadelle is located in Loches, a medieval royal city. The campsite therefore benefits from direct pedestrian access to the historic center, which is rare in the department.
The positioning is clearly heritage-oriented: Loches attracts a clientele more focused on culture than water leisure. The pool exists but remains a complement, not the main argument. This campsite is aimed at those who want to visit southern Touraine without getting back in the car every morning.
10. Camping Parc de Launay
Parc de Launay closes this ranking with an atypical offering: a rural setting geared towards disconnection. The pronounced rural environment appeals more to couples and retirees than to families seeking activities.
The pitches in the heart of nature attract campers in tents or vans. For motorhome enthusiasts, the configuration of access and the size of the plots deserve prior verification with the establishment.
Each campsite in this selection meets a distinct vacationer profile. The choice depends on the location in relation to the targeted sites and the desired stay format, much more than on the number of stars displayed. Before any summer reservation in Indre-et-Loire, remember to check for any water restrictions in effect and to include the tourist tax in your actual budget.
