Camping Le Lac des Varennes
Campsite Overview
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.

Pros
Beautiful view of the lake Campsite/Accommodation: lovely lake
Cons
Dirty and old sanitary facilities Little greenery, we were in full sun Campsite/Accommodation: Honestly, these sanitary facilities can no longer accommodate such a large campsite. Also, there is way too little shade and no privacy.

Pros
Large lake for swimming or paddleboards, man made beach, pitch amongst trees for shade, access to a beach cafe for drinks/pizza. Pitch/rental accommodation: Decent sized pitch. Toilet facilities were clean but basic- you needed to take your own soap and toilet roll. Lots of birds singing in the morning which was lovely.
Cons
Not really the sites fault but the water was thick with green algae and felt a bit gross to swim in. I think it was due to the recent hot weather.

Pros
great welcome at arrival, well informed about the camping. Clean sanitary facilities. Location/Accommodation: clean pitch.
Cons
For the welcome package, we arrived late due to an unforeseen event; my husband had injured himself. A person (woman) told us that it was too late, 30 minutes after. Very disappointed, we went to eat at the lake. Location/Accommodation: lack of a water point.
