Camping l’Isle Verte

Alan Rogers Review of Camping l’Isle Verte

L’Isle Vert is a beautiful site on the banks of the Loire nestled between the vineyards and the river. There are 114 touring pitches, which are level and spacious, divided by low hedging and shaded by trees. Many overlook the Loire directly. Grass tends to be relatively sparse during dry spells. All have 16A electricity. The site itself is well cared for and has a garden feel about it; facilities were spotless and modern, and check-in was efficient (after2.00 p.m.). Although the site is on the edge of the village of Montsoreau, access is easy straight off the main road. The site offers all you would expect from a site of this quality, but if that is not enough, the village is a very short walk and does not disappoint. The Sunday morning market is well worth a visit. 

The campsite has a pleasant restaurant and bar offering various local dishes and quick takeaway food. The restaurant has a terrace partially covered during the summer and is a great area to enjoy summer evenings. You will also find a communal BBQ area to cook for yourself. The campsite offers wine tastings and a weekly market with local producers in July and August. Once a week, they also have a popular Guinguette evening where you can enjoy a traditional local meal, all while listening to live music. Opposite the bar and restaurant, you will find the heated outdoor swimming pool. In high season, an entertainment team also organises fun activities for kids to enjoy.

Fishermen are particularly well catered for at Isle Verte, with an area to store equipment and live bait (permits are available in Saumur). Cyclists are also catered for with specially designed bivouac tents with space for cooking and keeping food cool.

Directions to Camping l’Isle Verte

Montsoreau lies on the south bank of the River Loire, on D947 Saumur-Chinon road, 12 km. from Saumur. Site is clearly signed on western side of village. Just a note if you approach by the D952-A this is a long single lane bridge and I would suggest avoiding if possible.
