Camping de l’Ile Auger

Alan Rogers Review of Camping de l’Ile Auger

This traditional, good value site is well placed for exploring the old Medieval town of Chinon. It lies alongside the River Vienne with views of the impressive château, which has a museum to Joan of Arc and was once the home of England’s Henry II. A five minute walk over the bridge takes you to the château and town centre. The 277 level pitches are numbered but not separated and trees provide some shade. All have 8/12A electricity (long leads may be needed). Four tents are now available to rent. Nearby are châteaux at Ussé, Azay-le-Rideau and Villandry and the abbey at Fontevraud.
