Camping Le Rochat-Belle-Isle

Welcome to Camping Le Rochât Belle Isle, a charming and versatile camping destination in the heart of Châteauroux that perfectly blends riverside tranquillity with easy access to city life. Set on approximately 3 hectares of green parkland right by the river Indre and adjacent to the beautiful Belle-Isle lake and beach, this campsite invites nature lovers, families and adventure seekers alike to stay amid lush surroundings with a relaxed, welcoming vibe.

This year-round site offers a variety of accommodation options to suit your budget and travel style. Choose from wide, grassy camping pitches (from ~80 m² up) ideal for tents, caravans and motorhomes, to comfortable rental units including mobile homes and cabins with terraces and facilities for groups or families. Whether you’re pitching your tent under shady trees, parking your motorhome on a dedicated pitch, or relaxing in a fully equipped mobile home, you’ll enjoy excellent electric and water connections plus clean, modern sanitary facilities with hot showers.

On-site conveniences make every stay hassle-free. There’s a restaurant and bar nearby (just ~50 m) so you can enjoy local meals without travelling far, and a mini-market and bakery service for fresh essentials. Wake up and prepare breakfast with easy access to washing machines, dryers and dishwashing stations, and take advantage of Wi-Fi zones throughout the campsite. Children are well catered for with a playground, and there’s even a motorhome service terminal for waste disposal and re-fills.

Active guests will love the outdoor offerings including a boules court, pedal boat rentals on the lake, and nearby walking and cycle paths starting right from the site. Pets are also welcome (subject to guidelines), making this a true all-inclusive destination.

Camping Le Rochât Belle Isle isn’t just about its peaceful setting — it also places you close to a variety of attractions and activities. The campsite sits amid the Belle-Isle leisure park, a vibrant hub where you can stroll by the lake, swim from a sandy beach (in season), or hire kayaks and paddle boats to explore the water.

For more aquatic fun, the impressive Balsan’éo Aquatic Centre is just 3 km from the campsite, offering heated indoor and outdoor pools, slides, a wave machine and wellness facilities including a spa, sauna and hammam — perfect for both relaxation and family entertainment.

The campsite’s location also puts you within easy reach of Châteauroux town centre (approx. 2–3 km), where you’ll find a variety of restaurants, cafés, shops, bakeries and cultural sites — all easily accessible by foot, bike, free local bus service or a short drive. If you love the outdoors, the Forêt Domaniale de Châteauroux is around 5 km away, offering scenic trails and opportunities for hiking, cycling and picnicking among nature.

Whether you want to enjoy watersports, sightseeing, dining out or exploring local parks, the area surrounding the campsite is rich with options to fill your itinerary.

Planning ahead ensures you fully enjoy your time at Camping Le Rochât Belle Isle. The site is open year-round, making it a great choice whether you’re seeking summer sunshine or an off-season retreat.

If you’re travelling with a motorhome, special pitches and a service terminal are available, though water refills and electricity may be charged separately depending on your booking. Many campers appreciate that the campsite is both quiet at night and well lit, but facilities such as showers, Wi-Fi and sanitary blocks can experience peak usage during high season — so arriving earlier in the day helps secure your preferred pitch and setup.

Pets are welcome but often require a lead and proof of vaccinations; always check specific dog policies before arrival. For families, local shops, bakeries and a supermarket are only a short walk away (~2 km), making daily errands easy without having to leave the area.

Don’t forget that Châteauroux’s free public buses run until early evening, so you can explore the town without needing a car. And, if you’re planning to visit the aquatic centre or other local attractions, check opening times and seasonal schedules ahead of time to maximize your experience
