  • Peaceful site by the Loire river, overlooking Métairie island
  • Direct access to the Loire à Vélo bike path to Tours and Amboise
  • Summer restaurant with homegrown and local produce, plus concerts
Take a trip to Indre-et-Loire and base yourself at the lovely leafy surrounds of Camping Les Acacias for prime access to the Loire, tours of Tours and châteaux galore. A friendly welcome awaits a couple of kilometres from La Ville-aux-Dames, close to the riverbank and overlooking the island of Métairie. However you roam it’s easy to get here: it’s close to an exit off the D751, 10 minutes’ drive from an intercity train station and a 15-minute drive from Tours airport. Once you’re through the gates, settle in for a peaceful time on a site filled with trees, grass and plenty of shaded spots. One of the highlights of the site is its food: the Camping Les Acacias owners have set up a permaculture farm with an orchard, kitchen, garden and henhouse, all providing the freshest of produce for the Taverne de la Métairie, the on-site summer restaurant. Pizzas, steak, salad and classic French desserts are all on the menu here, along with a kids’ menu and a concert stage with live music on some evenings. Menus are renewed every week. For some gentle activity, table tennis, pétanque and a well-equipped play area with slides, a trampoline and a summer bouncy castle are all on site. Barbecues are welcome and a supermarket is a five-minute drive or 20-minute walk away for supplies. Tours is 15 minutes’ drive from the site, or about half an hour by bike.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: clean sanitary

Disliked: when we arrived somebody took our pitch already, and we hd to find another pitch that is unknown reserved or not. No information about necessities to have an adapter for the electric if we have a normal plug. so we ended up without electric even though we booked the pitch with electric.
until we checked out nobody on the reception to talked to.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: The was a restaurant that was open, we didn't use it as one of us is veggie and there wasn't much on the menu to suit. But did stop for a beer.

Disliked: No info came on email to us and checking in was a phaff! also our info includes the size of our motor home and for the second time in 3 days the pick allocated was no where big enough so had to relocate.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: Sehr ruhig gelegen und gut erreichbar. Es ist alles vorhanden was man braucht. Die WC -Anlagen werden gerade saniert. Dafür gibt es einen Ausweichcontainer, der aber sehr ordentlich ist.

Disliked: Es wäre gut, wenn eine Einkaufsmöglichkeit in unmittelbarer Nähe wäre oder zumindest ein Brötchnservice auf dem CP angeboten würde.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: Tree shaded, level grass electric pitch close to clean showers and toilets. Within easy reach of Loire valley cycling routes.
Pleasant helpful receptionist - english spoken.
Secure site

Disliked: Close to main roads - noisy until late and then again early hours
We stayed out of season. We wouldn’t attend peak season due to entertainment facilities for families.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: The size of the pitch was excellent, we were only stating one night travelling through from the south of France to the ferry the next day. The email info was great, so the check-in was remote.
There is a large restaurant onsite, which had a good selection of food and drinks, the servers here were very pleasant and welcoming.
Paid about £23 for the pitch for the night which was fine.
Is in a woodland setting and apparently has really good cycle links to Tours, it would have been nice to investigate this but we couldn’t because of the ferry.

Disliked: Only one toilet block was open and it took us 10 minutes of wandering round the site to find it.
There was Karaoke (every Friday) that was very loud - it appeared to attract a lot of locals and went on until nearly midnight, it made going to sleep in the tent quite difficult.

We provide animations free as long as possible so that restaurant can be open in september

Local attractions

Saddle up for a day (or several) of cycling: this is prime territory for biking and the site has adult and kids’ bikes for hire. The big trail here is La Loire à Vélo, an 800-kilometre track flanking the river down to the coast. Don’t feel obliged to ride the whole thing; the seven-kilometre riverside route into Tours makes a most pleasant portion for many guests. Another excellent use of bikes is a tour of the area’s vineyards and wineries – there’s a cluster of them within a 45-minute cycle: source a sparkling wine on your travels and sample it as part of a riverside picnic. The Loire region is rightly famed for its castles, and there are several within striking distance here, either by bike or in the car. It’s 15 minutes’ drive to the gorgeous gardens of Château de Valmer, and 20 minutes (or an hour’s riverside cycle) to Amboise, to visit the medieval Château d’Amboise and Château du Clos Lucé, former residence of Leonardo da Vinci.
