Camping L'Île d'Offard

Saumur

A Riverside Stay in the Shadow of Saumur’s Château

Set on Île d’Offard, beside the Loire and just a short walk from Saumur’s historic centre, Flower Camping L’Île d’Offard offers a relaxed way to explore the Loire Valley. This four-star campsite combines shaded pitches with a varied choice of ready-to-stay accommodation, including canvas eco-lodges, wooden cabins on stilts and fully equipped mobile homes. A heated swimming pool overlooking the château, a wellness area and easy access to the Loire à Vélo cycling route make it a particularly appealing base for outdoor holidays.

Island Living Beside Saumur’s Historic Centre

The setting is one of L’Île d’Offard’s defining features. Located on a small island in the Loire, the campsite sits in a green riverside environment while remaining close to Saumur’s shops, restaurants and historic sights. The château stands across the water, providing a distinctive backdrop to a stay that combines nature with easy access to town.

Accommodation ranges from traditional camping pitches to more comfortable rental options. Guests can bring a tent, caravan or motorhome, with shaded and semi-shaded pitches available. For a stay with fewer things to organise, the campsite offers fully equipped canvas eco-lodges, wooden cabins raised on stilts and mobile homes in several categories and sizes. Some premium pitches also provide private sanitary facilities, offering an extra level of comfort for campers who prefer to bring their own equipment.

The heated swimming pool is a central feature, with views towards Château de Saumur. The campsite also has a wellness area with facilities including a sauna, hammam and spa, alongside play areas for children. In the summer holiday period, seasonal entertainment adds to the family-friendly atmosphere. Bicycle hire and services for touring cyclists make it easier to explore the Loire Valley without relying on the car for every outing.

From the campsite, Saumur’s historic centre is close enough to explore on foot, while the Loire à Vélo route opens up journeys through riverside landscapes, vineyards and neighbouring villages. Whether staying for a night on a cycling tour or spending a longer holiday in a mobile home, L’Île d’Offard offers a combination of outdoor living, practical facilities and a memorable Loire-side setting.
