Camping Le Serpolin is run by an English family and centrally situated in the beautiful Western Loire. The 12 acres of grounds are set in tranquil countryside and used for both Gite and Caravanning/Camping. We offer 16 Large 10A pitches with serviced pitches and a 3 bedroom Gite, which can comfortably sleep six, with a large lounge/diner, modern kitchen and shower room. New in ground heated pool being installed for 2022!
This campsite is a little gem. If you like peace and quiet and tranquillity this site is for you. We had a lovely welcome from the owners. They really are the perfect hosts and nothing is too much trouble for them. An information booklet that they provide has comprehensive information on the site, useful phone numbers and everything in the area. Donna also loaned me two books with literally everything around the area to see and do. It is only a small site but it has everything you need including a pool for cooling off in. They had a "fish and chip" evening whilst we were there. The campers and the locals are invited and the food is cooked from a van that was bought over from the UK. Fish, chips and mushy peas (wonder what the French think about that?!), burgers and kebabs. The food was lovely and we got a chance to speak with other campers and some of the locals. Donna also arranged a visit to a local vineyard which we really enjoyed. She also drove us there with some other guests and picked us up so no one had to worry about having a little too much! You can pre order bread Etc each night which Donna collects. You do need a car whilst staying here. We visited loads of places plus the Supermarkets are about 15kms away - 20 mins drive. Its in a dark sky area so you get a great view of all the stars. We looked a few nights for Elon Musks' Starlink but never managed to spot it (probably because it was going over Spain and Portugal instead!) Its very reasonably priced too. We would 100% recommend.

Had a fabulous time at Camping Le Serpolin. Donna and Matt were wonderful hosts and couldn’t do enough for you.
Everything you need on site, from clean toilets/showers to little shop selling supplies and plenty of books to read.
Freshly baked croissants, bread and Pain au chocolat delivered to your door in the mornings.
The new pool was fantastic and a great place to relax and sunbathe.
Very peaceful and picturesque surrounded by country side, sunflowers and vineyards (even the roads were quiet)!
Don’t miss BBQ night, lovely food and great way to know the other campers.
Can’t wait to go back.

We stayed here for two weeks in July. This is a fabulous small site with immaculate, modern toilets and showers. The owners cannot do enough to make sure your stay is pleasurable. There is a lot to see and do within a short drive. However we were quite happy just watching the sunsets with a glass on Anjou! We will be back.

Unfortunately were only able to stay one night in this lovely campsite but will definitely be back for a longer stay. Stayed in our touring caravan on route for Portugal in January
So peaceful we overslept! Small site, well organised, great amenities run by an English couple, Mat and Marie who were extremely friendly. Imagine it would be fantastic in the summer with views of terrific sunsets. Highly recommended

This quiet campsite provides an excellent base for exploring the Loire Valley. Facilities are clean and well maintained and the proprietors have thought carefully about what they can offer to make your stay special, for example the provision of a swapping library and a freezer full of ice creams that relies on honesty for payment. The welcome was very friendly and Matt and Donna-Marie could not have been more helpful. Highly recommended.

Just back from two weeks at this delightful site in a lovely part of France. Hosts Donna- Marie and husband Matt go out of their way to make your visit enjoyable. The site is great if you need a well run site away from the hustle and bustle of life. Bread and croissants deliver daily and Super U about 15 minutes away by car. Lots of great cycling on your doorstep. Don’t miss the Wine Tour and the Weekly BBQ! Excellent facilities always clean. Thanks Donna-Marie, Matt and the kids

Visited Camping Le Serpolin for a long weekend break. Stayed in the Gite which is comfy, clean and cosy. The Gite has 3 bedrooms, with very comfy beds, a great bathroom & well supplied kitchen. It has a large, lounge dining area. It has its own private decked area, with access to the pool and stunning views.
The area is quiet and relaxing. With no light pollution you get a fabulous view of the night sky.
The owners Donna & Mathew are very friendly welcoming & will go out of their way to help and to make your stay special.
We went on an organized trip to a local vineyard, which was a great opportunity to try the local wines.
Worth a visit: - Samur a very pretty town with a chateau and good shopping. - Le Lac restaurant, fantastic and beautiful location.
A wonderful break and a great introduction to France.

We were happy to find this small site hidden away in the countryside near Vihiers and were lucky enough to spend two weeks there. Being the end of March we had the site to ourselves for most of the time, but were made so welcome by Donna, Matt, and their family, and especially Fergus their little dog! The site had spacious plots, and the toilets and showers were modern and absolutely spotless. A washing machine is also available if needed. Derek loved spending time by the pond behind our caravan which was full of fish. The outdoor swimming pool opens in the summer months. We were invited to join an outdoor family barbecue, which was good fun. We also enjoyed a tour of the local vineyard and sampled the Brossay wines...and bought a lot too!! A wonderful time was had on this site and we hope to return very soon. Thank you.
