Campsite Intro

About

The picturesque Le Lac des Varennes campsite is located between Le Mans and Tours, directly on the lake of the same name. In the warm summer months, the cool water is perfect for swimming and cooling off, while the beach on the lake shore is ideal for relaxing and unwinding. The campsite is kept in its original form and is characterised by meadows and trees. The pitches on the 9-hectare site are very spacious and the campsite has a number of highlights. These include the boat and bike hire, the children's playground, the entertainment programme and the restaurant. In addition to the on-site grocery shop, guests will find further shopping facilities in nearby Marçon.

Camping in its original form and in a magnificent location by the lake.

Review verifications

No verification has been conducted to determine whether a review comes from consumers who have actually used or purchased the service, unless it is marked with the "Check" symbol.

Customer reviews marked with a "Check" come from our partners Ctouvert or iiQ-Check. These partners conduct personal review surveys after the stay to ensure that the reviews are from consumers who have booked the services they are reviewing themselves.

Reviews via PiNCAMP are only possible with a confirmed email address. After publication, our content team checks the content of each review to ensure it complies with our terms of use; however, we do not match reviews with bookings made through us.

Pros

I spent one night during a bike trip. The hiker halt system is a very good solution, the equipped and reserved kitchen along with the storage facility are perfect. The wifi available throughout the campsite is also appreciated. An excellent welcome by a young woman upon arrival. Location/Rental accommodation: A comfortable bed with lighting and a power outlet for charging the GPS and phone.

Frequently asked questions about the campsite Camping Le Lac des Varennes

What is the access to the lake and beach like at Camping Le Lac des Varennes?

The campsite has its own 150-metre-long and up to 50-metre-wide sandy beach with a cosy sunbathing lawn right by the lake. In addition, as a guest, you enjoy free access to the adjacent leisure base on the other side of the lake, where you can go fishing, sailing, ride pedal boats, or play minigolf.

How are the pitches designed at the campsite?

You can look forward to a 9-hectare, park-like meadow area with shade-providing deciduous trees. The pitches are between 80 and 120 square metres in size and are mostly separated by hedges and bushes. They are nice and flat, offering plenty of space for your tent, motorhome, or car with caravan.

What should I know about the sanitary facilities and on-site amenities?

The sanitary facilities are functional and clean, although some of the washblocks are a bit older – however, renovations are already planned here. A little tip for your stay: it is best to pack your own toilet paper and soap, as these are not always provided in the cubicles.
