Piscine extérieure ouverte en juillet et août

Snack bar ouvert de mi-avril à fin septembre

Surrounded by hiking and cycling trails and a short drive from Le Mans
Short drive to miniature golf, pony rides, tree climbing and ziplining
Fishing lake, pool and playground with bouncy castle and trampoline

Direct access to a fishing lake? Yep. A packed programme of entertainment and activities? Got that. Outdoor pool? Got that one too. On site, Camping Smile et Braudières has plenty to keep all ages amused… And off? Get ready for lots of family walks and bike rides, for this site’s locale is positively brimming with pretty hiking and cycling trails; further afield is a leisure base in Sillé-le-Guillaume, a zoo in La Flèche and tours around the historic core of Le Mans. Should you be partial to catching poisson or two, the on-site fishing lake is free for guests to use; and as well as a pool there’s a playground with a trampoline, a ping pong table and a bouncy castle too, plus swings, slides and other stuff to clamber on. Of course, it wouldn’t be fair to leave the grownups sans piles to do too, so for all ages there’s also a football field plus pétanque and badminton courts, and during summer an evening entertainment programme consists most crackingly of dance parties, karaoke nights, darkened pool dips and swanky cocktail soirees, plus pétanque, fishing and other sporty tournaments. The seasonal snack bar serves simple evening fodder plus breakfast eats too, and a bread delivery is available as an alternative morning option.

Electric optional gravel motorhome pitch

Liked: Very welcoming owners, ability to order fresh croissants (the best we've had!) For breakfast and evening snack bar. Hot showers, good size level pitches for campervans. Accessible water and power . Lovely walks around the area.

Disliked: No dislikes, be aware there is no wi'fi and the site is very rural although there is an Aldi and services within 4 miles. The site is peaceful and quite homely but that is quite charming.

From the manager: Thank you very much for coming in our campsite. See you soon

Electric optional grass tent, touring caravan or trailer tent pitch

Liked: The owners allowed us to turn up at 8pm from a late ferry. We appreciated that. It was easy to find.

Disliked: It was January, so the site was very muddy and it was difficult to get the caravan out. Nobody’s fault, just an observation when a site doesn’t have hard standing. The entrance was waterlogged too. If you arrive on a cold, dark, wet night, as we did, make sure you are properly prepared.
We turned our heater on and it blew the power, so we had a freezing cold night, and no power, which we had paid for.

Local attractions

Lots of splendid hiking and cycling trails start right on site for easy exploration of these scenic surrounds, and should you fancy something further afield the famed hiking trails around Saint-Léonard-des-Bois in the Mancelles Alps are a scenic 40 minute pootle by car. The vast leisure base a mere 25 minutes’ drive away in Sillé-le-Guillaume has plenty of fun family pursuits to get stuck into both in and out of the water, like boating, pedalo rides, fishing and canoeing, plus a tree-climbing and ziplining park, tiny-train tours, pony rides and miniature golf. The handsome and historic centre of Le Mans and its Bugatti circuit – home of the world's longest-running endurance car race – is 40 minutes’ drive away, and for further history-based day trips visit L'Epau Abbey, just outside the city, or an hour’s drive south of Smile et Braudières the Château du Lude, one of the many famed Loire Valley châteaux. Guests with tiddlers in tow can whisk them off to the 14-hectare Zoo de la Flèche, to gaze upon animal shows and meet the likes of rhinos, monkeys, panthers and elephants, all among a menagerie of 1,500 birds, reptiles and mammals settled into habitats among the zoo's thoughtfully laid-out enclosures.
