Camping municipal de l'île d'Or

A very convenient site within walking distance of the two chateau at Amboise. It was exceptionally hot during our stay so we were grateful for our shady plot. Mixed sex shower blocks which were modern but not super clean. No toilet paper. Nice cafe on site with bread ordering. Good level of English spoken by staff. The swimming pool is only open from 29th June to the end of August.

We stay a couple of nights, very convenient to walk into town, friendly staff on reception, with good English. Pitches were just marked with stone markers, no hedges etc, luckily we did not have neighbours. Toilets and showers were clean but not spotless, no toilet paper or seats. Not the quietest due to location. Did not eat in the cafe but had a few beers.

This campsite is very central, clean and immaculately laid out in avenues. The facilities are very good but take your own loo roll with you.

Cycle touring through and stayed for one night. Nice big pitches, right at the far end of the site away from all the vehicle folk. A bit of a trek to the amenities block, but the showers were nice and hot. Staff were great. Be prepared to be woken up at 5am by people firing up hot air balloons in the field next door.

Very pleasant campsite Plentiful and warm showers Clean facilities Brilliant pool and slide next door and free to campers Quiet Felt very safe Close to Amboise castle and amenities, as well as to Chateau du Clos Lucé, parc des mini chateaux, Chenonceau and château Gaillard Delicious bakery closeby (Boulangerie Lamotte) - absolutely worth the 5 minutes cycle (with the most delicious croissants, baguettes and cakes) - much better than the baked goods available from the Brasserie de l'Ile d'or, close to the campsite. I highly recommend for a stopover of a few days (for a longer stay I personally prefer quieter spots and the Loire is generally busy in the summer)

Our first time staying in a municipal site and we loved it. Location is fantastic within walking distance of Amboise Town with beautiful chateau nearby. Lovely historic town with lots to do and see. Free WiFi, free use of municipal pool next door (which is lovely) sanitary blocks were grand. There is a big playground in the field next door too, kids loved it. Really good value €27/ night for campervan pitch with 2 adults & 2 children EHU. Pitch was spacious, mature trees but no hedges between. We will be back!

Found this campground at the end of a long, hot travel day. PROS: friendly & accommodating staff; easy check-in; secure; clean facilities; well organized; great walking/biking right from the campground. CONS: pitches aren't that private; was not happy with the $27Euro steak dinner we ordered at the onsite restaurant. Other than that, very much recommended & would stay there again for sure (but eat somewhere else LOLOL)

Great site very convenient for the town and chateau. Helpful, friendly staff. Approx a 4 hour drive to the ferry ports, so a good first/last location
