Camping La Citadelle ****

So we came back in June! See my previous review from last October - site was very quiet in early June so we got a pick of pitches which were in beautiful condition. The sanitaires are a bit dark & dated although there are a couple of newer showers. No bar or food facilities were open during our 8 night stay. Bread could be ordered at reception. The site was very peaceful & relaxing. The pool complex was very clean with a new slide addition for this season. It did say in the Acsi book that book 7 nights but pay for 6, however we were there for 8 nights & I did ask if we got one free night but got a curt 'no' from Gilles the owner so not sure why, maybe as we were on a comfort pitch? All in all a lovely stay with plenty of time to explore beautiful Loches.

A good site within walking distances of the town excellent indoor & outdoor pool. Good size pitch’s, toilets are a bit dated but clean We would have no hesitation in staying here again .

What a gem of a site, so glad we decided on a few days here when travelling back to Caen from the South. Very easy to find but access it off the main D road that skirts the town. We arrived on 3 October & it was closing on the 6th so we had just 3 nights here & consequently it was very quiet so great choice of pitches. Reception team very friendly with good English spoken. There was a small shop where bread & croissants could be ordered. This was mainly to have a large open pitch but you also got fresh water & grey water disposal points on your pitch. We had a good look round at the other pitches & there was a good choice of shady or open pitches - all were well cut & good condition grass surfaces. Only 1 wash/toilet block was still open out of the 3 but that was more than adequate for the few people staying on site. The toilets were mixed but the showers separate male & female with toilet paper provided. The pool area was lovely, the outdoor pool a little chilly but the indoor one lovely for a swim. The whole site is kept very neat & tidy right through to the end of the season. The site was very peaceful & quiet especially at night. The town of Loches is wonderful & the market on the Wednesday was fab with a real buzz about town. If you ask at reception they will give you a discount wrist band for some restaurants & the chateau. A site that we want to revisit in the summer months to get the long summer evenings! sk at reception they will give you a discount wrist band for some restaurants & the chateau.

It's an easy traffic-free walk into the town, which is well worth a visit. There are also meadows near the site which are great for letting the dog have a run. Lovely grassy pitches even at the end of the season. The main gripe is that the guy on reception did a really hard sell on 'grand confort' pitches which cost more. He actually said that the standard pitches did not include electricity even with a camping card. The standard pitches seemed fine, so it felt like a rip-off being coerced into an upgrade.

We stayed on this site at the end of August & 1st week of September 2017 in our motorhome. Out son & family were in a tent. The sanitary facilities which we used near the pool area were cleaned everyday but could have done with a more thorough deep clean. The pool was lovely, used it most days, but a bit deep for young children. The toddler slide was rough & my granddaughter scraped herself quite badly coming down it. I reported this to reception but nothing was done to repair it. The grandchildren enjoyed the bouncy castles near our pitch, but unfortunately one of them broke her elbow falling off the climbing frame!! Easy walk/cycle ride into Loches which had a lovely street market on Saturday. Area for dog walking on site or along the river into Loches. Supermarkets 5 min bike ride. If you've got transport it's within reach of many chateau. Would use this site again.

a lovely campsite. particularly good toilets and showers. a good swimming area with 2 pools. the walk into town is easy. the public gardens in town are exceptional. it is a very interesting town with a great market on Saturday.

A very pleasant campsite 10 minutes walk from a fascinating walled town with good restaurants, shops and a Saturday market.

We stayed on the campsite over the Easter weekend 2017 in our campervan. The reception staff spoke good English and were very helpful. The standard pitches were all very big and water points weren't too far away. The shower and toilet block was clean and had plenty of hot water. It was a gorgeous walk along by the river into Loches itself. A town not to be missed. We
cycled each day from the campsite along the 'Velo' route, along quiet roads. We would certainly recommend this site and will definitely return. The restaurant wasn't open but bread could be ordered at the reception for breakfast.

Superb site in great location just a stroll from the magnificent historic centre of Loches with its medieval Chateau and beautiful gardens. Lovely flat grassy pitches, very friendly owners, river runs close by and worthy of a longer stay than just our overnight stop. Highly recommended

Stayed on site end of September, staff helpful and friendly, toilet/showers were kept adequately supplied with paper, but are a little unsure although relatively clean not sure exactly how much cleaning was being done day to day. Would however return.
