Campsite Le Rochat Belle-Isle ***

In a lovely setting but could be so much better presented. Only stayed on 2 night stopover. First impression was disappointing as there were several long stay ‘vans (workers) on site and pitches had not been kept very tidy (strimmed). Several statics were occupied by groups of workers. I accept it was early season but this did not create a family site feeling. Staff helpful. Easy access to town and park. Pool not used. Food and drink not sampled. Park restaurant looked nice but not used.

We stayed here just one night as it was convenient to our journey. There is a bus stop just a 5 minute walk away with a free bus service into Chateauroux. The site is located next to a lovely public park containing a good restaurant with views across the lake. Unfortunately the site itself was very disappointing being very scruffy and unkempt. However, the staff were very good and most helpful.

A lovely quiet woodland campsite. The proprietor was wonderful she even bought our takeaway food up to our plot.
Super swimming pool as well.

3 toilets ansd showers for whole site.Not clean Many water taps comandeered by travellers with washing machines outside vans. Chemical toilet offsite in municipal site. Site maintenance almost nil and carried out by itinerants resident on site. Sad, was a good site 2015 and 2016

Just an overnight stopover. place quite scruffy with some dubious people pitched around the site.Didn't feel to comfortable won't be going back.

The grounds are unkempt and scruffy. The toilet block that is open offers no hot water for showers and the floor is constantly wet from cleaning with a hose as are the walls and toilets. There is no evidence of a bar , restaurant or supermarket on site. The chemical toilet has to be emptied off site in the aire next door. Roadways are not lit up at night. The staff are virtually non existent and allow their dog to roam the site. Very disappointing.

We used this site as a one night stopover, however, we would have been happy to spend a few days here. The receptionist was helpful in check in. There were plenty of pitches to choose from with plenty of shade. Toilet/shower facilities were shared but that is no problem for us. We walked over to the park & bar/restaurant there & had a lovely evening taking in the sunset over a carafe of wine followed by a nice reasonably priced meal. All in all a good stopover especially if you don't want to cook!

We stayed at this site as it was convenient for a family wedding in a nearby village. In all we were there for 6 nights. Very much a transient site with most visitors staying just one or two nights. The reception advertises English spoken but we did not experience that - not a problem as we always try to speak in French and generally can get by. Close to the historic and beautiful city of Chateauroux and adjacent to an attractive park with a large lake. It sounds an idyllic location but the park - quite rightly - is extensively used and as a consequence the campsite during our stay was noisy by day and night. We experienced 2 days of celebrations for Bastille Day and a weekend international triathlon which necessitated the campsite entrance being closed throughout most of the Saturday and Sunday. There is also a fairly busy airport nearby used for both civil and military aircraft. The toilets, showers and washing up areas were cleaned once daily in the morning. Pitches beyond the first 5 - 6 rows gave a very neglected feel, as did a small children's play area. However, close to the reception, there is a very pleasant and nicely furnished tv and free wi fi room. The local gendarmerie made two daily visits around the campsite, probably as part of there security checks on the adjacent park.

What a great site. The manager greeted everyone with a handshake on arrival, expalined everything about the site and the environs. Super heated shower block, fabulous showers and all in all a secure feeling site right in the heart of a bustling town/city; 10 out of 10.
