Camping du Chêne

View prices & book Last booked one day ago 8 25 reviews

Family campsite at Saint-Julien-de-Concelles in the Pays de la Loire
Nantes 25 minutes’ drive, Puy du Fou 55 minutes
Direct access to a lakeside leisure centre, walking and cycling routes

When you’re after a relaxing family break surrounded by lush nature, take a look at Camping du Chêne in the Pays de la Loire village of Saint-Julien-de-Concelles. Life on this site is all about rediscovering the ‘slow life’ amid – as its name suggests – oak forest, giving you the chance to recharge your batteries and unfold your holiday at your own pace. But the chilled vibe on site doesn’t mean there isn’t plenty to do. Far from it, in fact. Guests have direct access to the Chêne lake for carp and pike fishing, plus kayaking, catamaran sailing, windsurfing and paddleboarding from the Cap Sport and Nature Leisure Centre (five minutes’ walk). There’s a playground to keep youngsters occupied, plus tennis courts, beach volleyball nets near the lake and a boules ground for family competitions. You can also follow waymarked walks through the surrounding woods – keeping an eye out for the busy bees foraging for nectar from the lakeside hives. If you’re into more long-distance hikes, several are accessible right from the site – and cyclists don’t miss out either, as the Loire à Vélo bike track passes the campsite. Foodie concerns are all taken care of too: there’s a breakfast service (put orders in the night before), a terrace restaurant overlooking the lake and an on-site grocery store for stocking up on essentials.

Emma H. Apr 2025

Electric grass and earth pitch (comfort)

Liked: Welcomed on arrival by the owner , given a choice of pitches .. we stayed on number 22 close to the lake .. what a beautiful view on an evening .
The site is very clean and spacious and offers different options for overnight stays including a motorhome aire.
The showers are hot and there are plenty of plug sockets for straighteners, hairdryers , shavers etc .
We used the washing machine for a small charge of 5 euros.
This really is a family friendly site and also welcomes dogs ...
There is a play area , games and a pool on site, located nearby is a tennis court and by the lake and adventure centre.

The local supermarket , petrol station is directly across the road and the local town is a 15 minutes walk away.

The owner and the staff are really lovely and very approachable .

Would we stay again ..... Absolutely

Electric grass and earth pitch (comfort)

Liked: Supermarkt op loopafstand, Nantes met de auto 25 minuten. Mooie, nette en ruim sanitair.

Disliked: Standplaats pal naast Restaurant (buiten de camping), dat dit restaurant niet altijd open was of niet tot etenstijd en er verder in de wijde omtrek geen eetgelegenheid te vinden was. Veel stacaravan verhuur, dus niet zo sfeervol. Drukke verkeersweg in de buurt.

Electric grass and earth pitch (comfort)

Liked: Large pitches with good privacy. Quiet location with excellent links to nantes. Beautiful lake for walks. Excellent facilities for cycling. Pool is clean and well maintained. Staff are friendly and approachable. Close to supermarket

Disliked: Following Google maps it tried to direct us down a very narrow track. (No fault of the camp site)

Liked: The campsite was very well maintained and easily reachable from the Nantes city centre. Pitches were big enough to fit a car. Very friendly staff and the bathroom facilities were excellent.

Disliked: None that I know

Grahame A. Jun 2024

Electric grass and earth pitch (comfort)

Liked: Location on (in) the lake

Disliked: Building work was going on at entrance but no signs or anyone to show where to go. Tried another entrance then another camper gave us the barrier code. Still no obvious reception, another camper gave us info, found temporary office - closed. Rang helpline, no answer. Eventually found a nice young man who showed us the pitches available. All were boggy and flooded and we knew heavy thunderstorms were due so we decided not the stay. We were told the washing machine was unavailable, the facilities were very basic and the site was unloved.

Electric grass and earth pitch (comfort)

Liked: This was a stopover between Toulouse and Cherbourg, so the location was convenient.

Disliked: Very hard to find reception. Poor signposting around the site (never did find the bins!) Close to roads so not peaceful. A lot of building work being done, and the focus is clearly on chalets rather than camping.
This was the first site I’ve stayed at where I felt I needed to lock my doors.
Facilities weren’t clean.

Site staff, especially young man on reception. Very friendly, polite and helpful. Good…

Electric grass and earth pitch (comfort)

Liked: Site staff, especially young man on reception. Very friendly, polite and helpful.
Good size pitch.
New amenities block. Lots of hot water for both showering and washing dishes.
Good location for cycling.

Disliked: The best way to describe this site is, in transition, and not as described on pitchup e.g no wifi and pool which does not look as if it has been in use for sometime. There is a temporary chemical and grey waste disposal which is not ideal.
However, given what has been done and the work that continues, it is likely to become a very nice site.

Local attractions

For big-city adventures, head for historic Nantes (25 minutes’ drive) to tour the mighty medieval Château des Ducs de Bretagne, towering over the Loire River, and spot the ornate marble tombs of French royalty in the Gothic-style cathedral. Culture all done, hop aboard the gigantic animatronic Grand Éléphant and take a walking tour of the Île de Nantes, before heading to a Place du Bouffay bar for a glass of local Muscadet wine. To see history brought to life in a spectacular way, flit between theatrical extravaganzas – with casts of hundreds – featuring Roman gladiator battles and Viking longboat sieges at Puy du Fou theme park (55 minutes), where you can also watch birds of prey in flight and blacksmiths at work. If a day at the seaside is requested, head to the sweeping bay at La Baule-Escoublac (an hour and 10 minutes), which has beach clubs for the kids and gentle waves safe for swimming. If the tide’s going out, see if you can spot ‘The Ocean Snake’ sculpture by Chinese artist Huang Yong Ping as it appears from the waves at Saint-Brevin-les-Pins (an hour).
