Camping Sandaya Château des Marais

Alan Rogers Review

The Château des Marais campsite is a good base for visiting the château at Chambord and the other châteaux in the Vallée des Rois. The site, providing 115 large touring pitches in avenues, all with electricity (10A), access to water and drainage and ample shade, is situated in the oak and hornbeam woods of its own attractive, small château. Twenty-five designated motorhome pitches are on hardstanding and grass. An excellent swimming complex offers pools with two slides, two flumes and a lazy river. There is an on-site tourism office where bookings can be made. Used by a UK tour operator.

In high season, canoe trips on the Loire are popular and are organised by a local canoe club. A range of other activities including riding, visits to châteaux and gardens, golf, wine tasting and the many other local attractions can be booked on site. The site itself provides a comprehensive range of activities including a wellness centre (advance booking; over 18s only, over 16 if accompanied by an adult). Half-board arrangement is available in a range of rental accommodation, where a ‘comfort package’ can be booked in advance.
