Camping Municipal de La Saulaie, Riverside campground in La Charité-sur-Loire, France
The Camping Municipal de La Saulaie is a campground on an island in the Loire River with around 80 pitches beneath trees. It offers electrical hookups, small caravans, fabric bungalows, and simple tents scattered across the site.
The site was created near the town of La Charité-sur-Loire, which grew around a major monastery during the Middle Ages. That monastery was an important place for pilgrims traveling to Santiago de Compostela.
The campsite sits near the Val de Loire nature reserve, a place where visitors can watch birds and explore the river landscape during their stay. The area has long been important as a stopping point along walking routes, attracting people who appreciate the Loire Valley's natural environment.
The site is open from April through September with reception during afternoon hours. The island is easy to reach and has access to cycling routes and walking trails in the surrounding area.
The site sits on an island surrounded by two branches of the Loire, giving it a special setting between waterways. Visitors can explore the Bertranges Forest with its old oak trees directly from the campground.
