Camping du Moulin de la Gassotte

Alan Rogers Review

Camping du Moulin de la Gassotte is in the grounds of a historic mill, with a hectare and a half of partly shaded space on the banks of the Gartempe river. The old mill once supplied the Vienne town of Saint-Savin, 10 minutes’ walk from the site. The town has shops, bars and restaurants and things to see and do including the UNESCO-listed 12th-century abbey, and the waterslides of the open-air public pool, both within a few minutes’ walk. The riverside setting means that guests can set out on canoe trips or settle in for fishing days (once they’ve bought a permit). Watery views make a pretty backdrop for a picnic too. Part of the ground floor of the old building has been converted into a sociable common room with TV, a library and tables and chairs; it’s also the best place to log on to the free Wi-Fi. The site has 48 touring pitches and 5 lodges or gites available to hire.
