Camping Seasonova Étang de la Vallée is perfectly located for discovering the natural beauty and outdoor activities that make the Loiret region so appealing. Right across from the campsite is the Étang de la Vallée leisure lake, a beloved local destination offering sandy beach areas, picnic spaces, and walking and cycling paths through forests and around the water.

From April to October, BSN Aventure (just a short stroll from you) offers equipment rental for canoeing, kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, and electric bikes, as well as family-friendly activities like accrobranche (tree course), axe throwing, and nature escape games—perfect for active families.

If you’re looking to explore further afield, there’s plenty to fill your days:

• Arboretum des Grandes Bruyères (approx. 10 min away) – a 14-hectare botanical garden celebrated as a Remarkable Garden with plants from around the world.
• Mountain biking and hiking trails around the lake and in the forest of Orléans, offering everything from gentle family loops to scenic circuit routes.
• Musée de la Marine de Loire (approx. 15 km) – dive into the history of river navigation and local heritage.
• Belvédère des Caillettes – a short drive for panoramic views over chestnut and oak forests.

For a cultural day trip, the historic city of Orléans is under an hour away, with charming streets, museums, shops, cafés, and heritage sites tied to Joan of Arc and French history.

Before you arrive, it’s helpful to know that Camping Étang de la Vallée operates seasonally (typically early April through late October), so planning your stay ahead is a must for peak months.

• Check-in & Reception: Reception usually operates in morning and afternoon hours; arrival outside these times is often possible via code access if pre-arranged.
• Pets: Pets are generally allowed on pitches during low season and in certain rentals under conditions—perfect for furry family members.
• Family Friendly: With playgrounds, sports zones, and easy access to outdoor adventures, this is a great choice for families—but facilities like pool access and supervised swimming can vary by year, so double-check with reception.
• Eco-conscious Guests: Wi-Fi is limited to central areas or the bar to encourage guests to enjoy serene surroundings and disconnect.
• Transport & Access: Cycling routes begin right from the site; the nearest shops and services in Combreux are just minutes away by bike or car.

Finally, while many services are available on site, additional activities like canoe rental or accrobranche may incur extra fees and require seasonal opening (often April–October)—so booking these ahead can help ensure you don’t miss out.
