The l'Île d'Or campsite is the municipal campsite of Amboise, on the island that separates the two arms of the Loire, right opposite the royal château and a short walk from the centre. It lies on the La Loire à Vélo route and about ten minutes on foot from the station, on the TER line between Tours and Paris, so you can arrive without a car.
Pitches and tents
It covers 3 hectares with more than 280 pitches, almost all shaded and spacious, for tent, caravan or motorhome, with or without 10-amp electricity. It does not admit twin-axle caravans or vehicles, or caravans towed by a van. For those travelling by bike or on foot there is a hiker's offer with equipped tents for hire.
The toilet blocks have showers and access for people with reduced mobility, and there is a washing machine, dryer and iron. Motorhome users have an emptying and water-filling area. Bring your own toilet paper: the campsite does not provide it.
