Camping municipal de l'île d'Or

This is our best site on a value for money basis at €23 per night and whilst it hasn't got a pool you get a wrist band to get you into the municipal pool free. However typical of the council, it has 4 lifeguards, 2 office staff and closes at 6pm 😆 The toilets are brilliant no urinals, no gents, no ladies and loads of showers, motorhome service areas, ehu and number plate recognition and there is a bar/restaurant onsite serving good food at reasonable prices. Oh and there's an aire de camp next door for free 😆 Camping municipal de l'île d'Or 4 All. des Mariniers, 37400 Amboise, France

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.

A nice site with a very friendly welcome at reception. The location to the town and the historic attractions were excellent. All very spacious pitches. There were plenty of toilet/shower facilities however the campsite is huge so these were very busy. They could have been cleaner and you need your own loo roll. There are lots of restaurants and shops just a short walk away. A nice stop over for a night or two.

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.

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.

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)

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.
