 The setting of this site is simply lovely. May be best to seek a hard standing pitch as these have views of the château and this meant that we could look out of the lounge window of the 'van and see the early morning sun on the château and in the evening see it illuminated. It will depend which pitch you get and whether another vehicle is in the line of sight but even in that case you will only walk a couple of metres to see the sight - excellent. The welcome was fine and the staff very helpful. The actual town is an easy walk away and has a good collection of shops and some very good places to eat. Wifi was available on the pitch and worked well. A good base to explore this area and a site we will use again.

Second time in 2 years on this site. I love it for it's location to Saumur, lovely and easy on our bikes. Yes there are posh chalets, tents etc on this site but I don't think that detracts from the site. Our pitch was fine, by the river and we got satellite tv. You really don't get a view of the river though so don't be disappointed.
The pool was warm and a great view, bar was good and we didn't eat but it was popular. Shower blocks really good.
Order breakfast by 6pm, great crossiants.
Since arriving home and looking at web site, it seems they have added a sauna spa thing to the site.
Someone on our travels said there is now a new manager on site from Wales.
We were lucky during our 2 night stay there was a music concert on in the old square, picture perfect. I think the best places to eat are around here rather than the main road in where the market is held.
Also heard there are boat tours now running from the river frontage on the mainland.
Would go back again anytime to enjoy saumur.

Sadly not much has improved following our recent visit. The grass was long and we did not hear anyone cutting grass in the 3 days
The pathways were not lit at all. One of the toilet blocks was being converted so was not available. There were many more static units on site than four years ago when we were there last. So So different and disappointing. Other than the bar/restaurant has a new proprietor who is eager to please
Still the most convenient site to visit the Chateau which should be opening the 2nd floor in June

This site may be in the Flower Camping Group but the only flower you will see is on the logo. The plots for tents, vans and motorhomes and surrounding areas are not maintained and when we mentioned it to the reception staff ( who are really helpful and knowledgeable) we were told they did not have a gardener. By contrast the areas around the chalet/mobil homes were much better.
If you return after dark make sure you have a good torch as the pathway lighting is either inadequate or non existent.
There is no on site shop but there are plenty within easy cycling distance otherwise it's a 20 minute walk.
The toilet/shower facilities were excellent and regularly cleaned.
We tried to use the bar/restaurant but the woman running it single handed was totally overwhelmed and after waiting 20 minutes to be served we left.
The town has some lovely shops cafes and restaurants but watch out for the usual beggars and con artists.
All in all, it was ok as a base for a couple of days but you wouldn't want to spend a week there.

Spent 4 nights here having ruled out Chantepie because it was so far out of town. With two 4 year olds we chose a grass pitch next to a play area which was ideal. They were made up with the bouncy castle as well.
Pitches were a good size. Roads were quiet which meant kids could cycle or scoot around in safety. The site is on an island in the Loire, but don't imagine some idyllic setting, you aren't really aware of the river unless you are on one of the few pitches nearish to it. That said it is still nice with a good view of the chateau.
There are some new and old toilet and shower blocks, so make sure you use the new ones! Good, warm showers.
We seem to struggle to find sites that allow charcoal bbq's, but this one does.
Pool seemed a bit hit and miss, certainly when we used it, it was pretty cold, but on other days saw people using it into the evening so assumed it must have been heated then.
Saumur is a 20 min walk or short bike ride away. We went to the chateau which isn't much to write home about, might have been because it was after 31st August. Also visited two nearby caves. The mushroom one has more mushrooms, mushroom curios and mushroom exhibits than is healthy in my opinion. The miniature village cave next door is better, with stone carvings, but really not sure what the fuss is about either.
Only ate at the restaurant once and they managed to send out food at different times. I had finished mine by the time the kids meals arrived. You can order baguettes and patisseries from the bar the night before, but if you have a bike there are boulangeries a couple of minutes from the site, and cheaper too.
All in all, a nice site, safe for kids and near to the town. Made a change from the eurocamp style sites we seem to find ourselves at!

We booked this location for it's proximity to Saumur which was great and cannot be faulted for this aspect. Saumur is a lovely place to visit. The campsite was a bit of a disappointment as we paid extra for the XXL pitch on the river Loire. What we received was a XXL pitch with no view of the river only barbed wire and a path with people walking by on a path constantly, there was no view of the castle either, which was a shame, we certainly wouldn't recommend paying extra to anyone.
Bar opens very late in the afternoon so if you need even water whilst at the pool you will need to wait a long time.
WIFI is free which is great but poor signal but was able to use it on our pitch.
Toilet block was adequate no more no less.
The best thing I can say about this campsite is it's location which won't disappoint you.

Spent five nights here; two adults and two four year olds. Kids absolutely loved it - kids club every week day from 10:30 to 12:30, mini disco, family games in evening. Swimming pool also has toddler pool and heated spa pool. Main pool not heated, so could only spend short time in there unless a hot day. Good family shower/ bath/ toilet room. Adult showers are solar heated and dangerously hot - couldn't stand beneath water! Toilet paper provided but no soap. Large pitches with some shade. Downside was very loud bands in bar until 11:30ish which disturbed children's sleep, on two nights. Saumur & chateaux is gorgeous, but not an awful lot to do in area. Excellent area for cycling. About £30 a night, with no electricity.

Written from the site on a pitch next to the Loire with more space & electric hook-up & water near by-3 Euros extra to normal ACSI rate.
I was quite put off by the negative reviews so here is a 7 June 2012 update. The site is now part of the Flower Campings chain where a good standard can be expected
There is free wifi all over the site with good speed and connection.
The people in the reception area are very friendly & helpful & English-speaking if you need it.
The toilets are clean & fresh-there's a small army of people who also service the statics sorting 'em out. Toilet seats are a rarity on most French sites though strategically placed Andrex soft makes life bearable! Maybe too much Information.
The swimming pool (outdoor) is good-didn't use it-a bit cold & rainy here at the moment.
Ate in the bar cafe-menu Euro 15 & it was 'good enough' on arrival.
Saumur town is 'touristy' & OK if you like horses, tanks & the castle accessible on foot. G20 supermarket took some finding in the centre. It was OK but LeClerc is the place for cheap petrol & the 'big shop'.
In summary, a very comfortable site with good amenities & close to the town.

I had really high hopes for this campsite on reading its facilities etc. We were there 3rd week of May and the pool was empty - infact just getting pressure washed. The indoor pool is only available to use for campers on a monday and Thursday - it did not state this on their website ! Toilet block - only one of three were open - and terrible. It is old, and really smelly ! Men and women use the same toilets and showers, including children ones ! Our electricity cable kept reading external supply off - especially 6-10pm - then would all of a sudden come back on ! I did mention on departure but receptionist was very negative ! The Shop - what shop ? They only sold wine and a few jars of jam. Bread had to be ordered the night before. I tried to get a simple thing like olive oil or salad dressing and nothing. The bar was not even open. The restaurant was opening the weekend we left. Only one rubbish area and a bit of a trek with rubbish and bottles every day. To many and too much attention being spent on static rental homes we think and forgetting the caravans and mobile homes. On the positive - I enjoyed a few days off work and the town of Saumor is lovely. I appreciate its not the height of the season but I feel by May it should all be up and running.

Stayed on this site mid April on a sunny couple of days. It's such an impressive location overlooking the chateau. Pitches were adequate and sanitary facilities good. Reception were really kind a helpful with a nice Welsh lady who assisted you in every way possible.
Yes wi fi was free and all over the site it's a pity a few more don't do it. The town is a delight, the market fantastic such atmosphere even met the mayor on our visit!
We loved it because we could cycle in or walk to town we even cycled up to the chateau which was worth it just for the views. Loved Saumur and ile d'Offard a well organised site even though it was barely open when we were there, definitely go again.
