 We stayed here 8 nights and loved every minute.
We loved the area, Le Mans(for car mad hubby and daughter)also I think Thursday night until Sunday night in Le Mans, the city walls are lit up and are spectacular.
The site had arranged a G0-carting afternoon, which my hubby enjoyed and also a footie game.
The facilities were cleaned constantly, the pool was great, we ate at the little bistro one night and it was lovely. We spoke to lots of people who have stayed there year after year and I can see why.

Family owners who went out of their way to tell us about the local area and the facilities. Good restaurant with friendly service, nice little bar selling expensive but yummy beer. Fantastic facilities, the pool was superb and indoor ping pong tables, you can't ask for more than that! We only stopped for a night but next time will go for longer, it was our favourite of the 4 campsites we went to on our French road trip last summer.

A very nice site with a pool area that is good enough for a hotel - although it definitely wasn't heated when I went in. Bar area is basic and as is usual in France a large beer is fairly expensive (4.70 euros) other drinks such as wine are much cheaper.
Toilet block was clean and modern - the shower blocks were a little more outdated and the sinks had very annoying automatic taps that detected movement of your hands to switch on (hitty missy) and the sinks had no plugs so wet shaving was a complete pain.
There is a restaurant on site which we didn't use but some friends of ours did and they seemed very happy with the food. The restaurant was busy every night and needs to be booked in advance. They do a very limited take away service (chicken and chips).
The staff were all English speaking to the point that they wanted to speak in English rather than let you try and improve your French (opposite of most places we have been in France). The elecric points were all the older two pin style so a converter is still needed. Also the pitches can be a long way from the electric points - I had a 25m cable and still needed to borrow a 40m cable from the site (50 euro returnable deposit for the extension - 35 euros for a two pin converter)
The Sarthe area is very quiet so if you have kids and are looking for fun parks etc I don't think you will find what you want here. Le Mans is 15 minutes drive from the site and has a nice mix of old and new. The station is very easy to find and we booked tickets in advance for the TGV for a day trip to Paris. The return tickets were about 40 euros per person booked from the UK - not bad for travelling at 180mph for two hours. Parking at the small multi storey car park next to the station was 7.50 euros for 24 hours - but be warned like a lot of car parks in France height restriction of 2.1m applies so no roof boxes on your 4x4.
We were pitched quite close to the lake (no bullfrogs evident in August). The shop on site is only open a couple of hours each day in the evening which caused some people a few problems when after stuff in a hurry for breakfast. The nearest supermarket (Shopi) is about 5 minutes in the car.
One of the bar staff while we were there was from Sunderland and he was telling us that when the 24 hour race is on there is hardly a blade of grass visible its so popular - so avoid like the plague if you want peace or book well in advance if you want cars.

Excellent site. Ideal for stop over going to Bordeaux etc. But you will be tempted to stop longer! No entertainment just a typically french site in the grounds of a lovely chateau. Nice small pool, restaurant, bar etc Quiet and clean. Friendy staff- what more could you want?! No shop though-a Casino supermarket is about 5 miles away.Nice walks in the area and it is very rural.No concrete pitches which is lovely. No static caravans etc just real camping. Excellent.

Nice site, but a little on the expensive side at 20 euros a night on their first week of opening. Good showers, loos etc, and their emplacements are on the lawns on umarked areas which gives a great feeling of space. You will need a French converter for the hook ups as they are old. Nice woodland walks.
The bar is nice when you can sit on the terrace and its a nice touch that your order for bread and croissants is taken each night. A word of warning though, as one other reviewer has mentioned, if you do camp next to the pond the noise the bullfrogs make is quite amazing!

We booked in here for 2 nights and ended up staying 6! The site is family owned and the owners are lovely: their teenagers tour the site each evening in a golf cart to take orders for the most delicious fresh bread / croissants etc which are baked to order in the village the following morning. Warning: don't order more than one croissant per person as they are huge.
Although early in the season we used the pool which was quiet and beautiful. The campsite is very open - no delineated pitches - you are just given an approximation of where to pitch but I reckon this would be handy for larger outfits.
The grounds are beautiful - lots of lovely walks which will take you the whole day if you wish. The showers are in the old stable block, clean and hot - with no timers! Beware the tumble dryers though; you put in cold wet clothes and an hour later retrieve hot wet clothes.
Also beware of pitching beside the pond while the bullfrogs are breeding! We wondered why we had this lovely spot to ourselves until we tried to sleep, however after 2 nights of not sleeping we eventually got used to the noise and it seemed to just add to the charm.
This is the site we will remember most of all that we stayed in during our 4 week tour. Also it is very dog friendly with lots of places our guys could run off the leads. We all give it a big thumbs up

Excellent campsite. Have visited the chanteloupe for many years. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Pitches, although not delineated, are large and informal. Toilets and showers are very clean. Pool small but adequate and again well maintained and clean. Large field for games both informal and arranged by staff. My two teenage sons return each year with us because they like the freedom and the fact that have never felt anything other than welcome. Visit Le Mans to see the Old City and a tremendous light show, and Vouvray wine festival, great wine and even better value at 2e for as much as you can drink.

The owners and staff were very friendly and helpful. The on-siterestaurant was good (but do book a table in advance). It is very much afamily site. There wasn't any entertainment the night we were there.
I'd go back to the site for a short stay.
The grounds are big - if you are parked a long way from the house it is a bit of a walk to the toilets/showers.
There is nothing to mark out the individual pitches (e.g. Bushes) - there are just several grass fields with trees.
If you are concerned about marking out your territory take some windbreaks!

We loved this site! We visited as 2 families, with 6 children aged between 11 & 16yrs. On arrival we were greeted at the gate and shown to our pitch before booking in at reception. As we were only staying overnight en-route to the Vendee, we were sited in the outer field to prevent disruption to those staying longer. The pitch was spacious, level & perimeter.
The site is set around a beautiful chateau & is typically French, though English was spoken. Pitches were either in woodland area's, around the lake or on the large lawns. There was a decent pool & terrace area, plenty of hot showers & mixed toilets. Large areas were provided for ball games, there was also a TV/games room & table tennis barn. There was a totally relaxed air but the whole place was immaculate & well run.
A French Boulangier called daily with fresh baguettes & croissants. From booking to the end of our stay everything was managed efficiently & with great courtesy.
We all rated this site as 10/10 & hope to revisit but for longer next time.
