Peaceful, green and under 15 minutes' drive from the historic centre of Tours, Camping Onlycamp Tours Val de Loire is a popular campsite on the banks of the river Cher in France's attractive Indre-et-Loire department. Guests here have a good range of facilities, are right next to a municipal swimming pool and have the surrounding area's châteaux and vineyards within easy reach. The site is on totally level ground, making arrivals and departures easy no matter what you're driving. As well as essential amenities like toilets and showers, Camping Onlycamp Tours Val de Loire has a handy on-site shop where you can pick up ice creams, snacks, drinks and local products. You can also wander down to reception to chat to the site team about any questions you might have or to buy tickets for some of the region's best attractions (several of which offer a discounted rate for Camping Onlycamp Tours Val de Loire guests). The public pool just a few steps away is open all year round, with a large main pool, a paddling area, a sauna and a sun deck to take advantage of. And breakfast? Between April and October you can order fresh bread and pastries the night before and enjoy them on your pitch.

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked: Location beside the River Cher, easy bus ride into Tours, nice flat pitches, some with hardstanding. Clean toilet block and washing up area.

Disliked: You can't actually see the river from the campsite although the drone view picture gives you an impression of river views. Electricity is an extra 6 euros, making it a bit pricey considering there's no bar, bread order, bike hire open yet.
Showers were barely warm.
Couldn't access the site when we arrived until reception opened at 3.30, and once it's closed at 6, if you arrive hoping to get in for the night, you can't, as there's no phone no to ring.
A new pedestrian and cycle bridge is being built just up the road, and when the pile driver starts up with its rhythmic banging (8.20 this morning) it's absolutely earsplitting. It stops at night, though.

Liked: Only a quick overnight stay, the campsite was clean and tidy, it was quiet noise wise. The facilities were good, clean showers etc. When checking in the lady on reception was friendly and helpful, overall an ideal place for our needs as a quick overnight pit stop.

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked: Close to the city - an easy cycle ride. The toilets, showers and washing up facilities were immaculate. There is even a photo exhibition on the sanitare railings. Staff were very friendly. Rang be to check I'd arrive in time. Lots of lovely mature trees providing shade and a touch of privacy

Disliked: It's been a rotten summer. The pitches were a bit churned up and muddy

Local attractions

Tours is very well set up for outdoor living. In the high season, you can hire bikes at reception and pedal three kilometres to the start of the city's designated bike trail, or you might prefer to just head out along the banks of the Loire river and see where you end up. Keeping things alfresco, there's also a large open-air lido 10 minutes' drive away at Piscine du Lac, while watersports fans can hire kayaks and canoes at Tours & Canoë (15 minutes away). The city centre is rich in history, with half a dozen top-tier museums, art galleries and exhibition spaces to explore. Some of the places you'll definitely want to see include the pedestrianised streets lined with half-timbered houses around Place Plumereau, the ornate Cathédrale Saint-Gatien, Saint-Cosme Priory and the gorgeous botanic gardens. Slightly further afield, the Loire region's many castles are close for day trips, with the site recommending spots like the Château de Villandry (25 minutes), the Château de Chenonceau (30 minutes) and the Château Royal d'Amboise (30 minutes). The area has lots of vineyards you can get to know as well – to sample a wide variety of top local wines, head to the Cave de Vouvray (15 minutes) for one of their tasting tours.
