Camping Seasonova La Forêt

Camping Seasonova La Forêt is a peaceful 3-star forest campsite tucked into the heart of the Sillé Plage natural area in the Sarthe region, offering guests an idyllic slow-paced escape among trees, lakes and shaded paths. Covering around 4 hectares with 143 spacious pitches and 33 rental accommodations (including mobile homes, cottages, traditional pitches and unusual gypsy caravans), this family-friendly holiday destination promises restful days and active adventures alike.

Just 400 m from the Plage de Sillé (beach and leisure base “Coco Plage”), the campsite invites you to enjoy both natural tranquillity and easy access to a wide range of outdoor activities. Whether you’re camping in your own tent or motorhome, or choosing one of the cosy rentals, every guest benefits from amenities designed to make holiday living comfortable and enjoyable. Pitches are clearly demarcated, shaded by forest canopy and fitted with electrical hook-ups — ideal for classic camping and motorhome services alike.

On site, you’ll find quality sanitary facilities, including accessible showers and toilets, as well as a laverie (laundry) and motorhome service area for greywater disposal and freshwater refill. Free Wi-Fi keeps you connected to the outside world, and shared spaces like a library, games area and children’s playground invite connection and play. A small grocery shop and bakery stand provide daily essentials and fresh bread, while picnic and barbecue areas set the scene for social meals surrounded by nature.

Entertainment is varied: in July and August the team organises family-friendly daytime activities and themed evening events, and there’s a volleyball court, pétanque field, indoor play space with ping-pong and table football, plus outdoor life-sized games for all ages. With both relaxation and fun on offer, Camping Seasonova La Forêt delivers a complete outdoor holiday experience that celebrates nature, freedom and connection.

Step outside the campsite and you’ll find yourself immersed in a world of natural beauty and outdoor adventure. Plage de Sillé lies just a short walk (about 400 m) from the entrance — a sandy beach on a tranquil lake where you can swim, sunbathe or rent canoes and paddleboards. The adjacent Coco Plage leisure base offers a wide array of activities, from sailing and canoeing to zip-lining, climbing and pony rides — perfect for families and active travellers.

The surrounding Alpes Mancelles Regional Natural Park invites you to explore miles of scenic hiking and cycling trails through forests, rolling hills and along lakeshores. Whether you prefer a gentle stroll or a more challenging mountain bike adventure, routes of all levels start right from the campsite’s doorstep.

Beyond natural attractions, you’re also ideally located for discovering local towns and cultural sights. Sillé-le-Guillaume village centre — with its cafés, shops and restaurants — is a short bike ride or drive away and offers a taste of authentic French small-town life. For a broader day trip, the historic city of Le Mans is within easy reach, where you can explore a cathedral, medieval walls and museums, or enjoy lively events such as the famous 24 Heures du Mans motorsport festival.

Whether you’re craving lakeside relaxation, exhilarating forest trails, or cultural outings to charming towns, the area around Camping Seasonova La Forêt delivers both serenity and discovery.

Camping Seasonova La Forêt operates seasonally, generally opening from early April through late September, making it ideal for spring, summer and early autumn holidays. The campsite’s setting — nestled between forest and water — means weather can influence some outdoor activities, but the variety of on-site and nearby options ensures there’s always something to do regardless of conditions.

Accessibility is thoughtfully designed here: wide entry paths, asphalted walkways, adapted sanitary blocks and an accessible mobile home make the property welcoming for guests with reduced mobility. There’s even a reserved accessible parking space, and all common areas are on level ground, allowing easy movement throughout the site.

Pets are welcome on pitches, so you don’t have to leave your furry companions behind, though specific rules may apply in rentals. For families with young children, the campsite offers baby-friendly areas, equipment rentals (beds, chairs, etc.) and play spaces to keep the little ones happy. On-site teams are present daily to assist and help plan your stay, and optional extras like linen rental, breakfast service and local markets add convenience to your holiday.

Practical amenities like a laundry room, on-site store and bakery make day-to-day living easy, and shared areas like the picnic and barbecue zones foster social moments under the trees. For motorhome guests, free greywater disposal and water refill services add further convenience. With such thoughtful facilities and a stunning natural backdrop, Camping Seasonova La Forêt is a superb choice for reconnecting with nature and enjoying good company in the heart of the Pays de la Loire.
