Camping Les Alicourts Resort is a 5-star in the middle of the Loire Valley. This lively Sandaya campsite is located in the heart of the forested Sologne region, about one hour south of Orleans and two hours from Paris. The campground is beautifully landscaped in tropical atmospheres on a very spacious estate and is very child-friendly. Going to the beach in the Loire Valley, that’s pretty tough but at Camping Les Alicourts Resort it can be done! In fact, in the middle of the campsite there is a super nice swimming lake with a sandy beach, where you can enjoy swimming as well as all kinds of water sports. There is also a beautiful water park with several pools, (heated) paddling pools, a wave pool and slides. The campground also offers many activities and the facilities are top notch. The kids will have a great time, so you (almost) don’t have to leave the campsite! The campground is fairly remote so you are always in the car for a while before you get anywhere.
Are you looking for a relaxing vacation amidst the beautiful nature and rich history of the Loire Valley? Then Camping Les Alicourts Resort comes highly recommended! The vast green landscapes are a feast for the eyes. The campground is very spacious and beautifully landscaped in tropical atmospheres. The lovely swimming lake gives the campground that extra something. Enjoy nature, the many castles (Chambord Castle is a tip) and half-timbered houses in the area.
If you enjoy soaking up culture in one of the cities, Orléans comes highly recommended. This city is an hour’s drive from the campground. You’ll find history of Joan of Arc, the beautiful cathedral Le Cathédrale Saint-Croix d’Orléans (which looks a lot like Notre Dame) and you can do some great shopping. It is right on the Loire River and has a beautiful park (Floral de La Source) where the children can play. In addition, in the summer months you can visit the island of Charlemagne where you can swim, play in the large playground and even play paintball and volleyball.
The cities of Bourges and Blois are also recommended for shopping and culture. In Blois, you can tour Houdini’s House of Magic! At this museum you will find a magical, interactive, exhibition of the magic arts, as well as be able to attend shows and workshops. Highly recommended!
If you love zoos, then a visit to Europe’s largest zoo is a must. Zoo Parc de Beauval is counted as one of the 5 best zoos in the world, so it is definitely worth a visit.

At this campground you have a very wide range of great rental accommodations. Additionally, Camping Les Alicourts Resort is a true glamping campground, as you have fantastic glamping accommodations here. Because the campground is spacious you experience a lot of privacy and have plenty of space. The campground is set up in several neighborhoods. You can book rental accommodations with Allcamps and LuxCamp, among others.
If you love nature, want to stay among the animals living in the forest, then you should rent accommodation in the Forest Camp area. You have original rental accommodations and glamping options here. How about fully furnished cottages? In terms of glamping accommodations, rent one of several adventurous lodge tents, or safari tents. This can be done with and without private bathroom facilities. But the absolute highlight, literally and figuratively, are the various treehouses where you can spend the night! These are really super cool and, especially with your kids, will be very popular! At Allcamps and LuxCamp you have the most offerings in terms of glamping accommodations & treehouses.
The Keywest Premium neighborhood is on the golf course side or near the lake. No cars are allowed in this neighborhood, allowing your children to play freely. The Premium Cottage Keywest is a luxury cottage, suitable for 6 people. The cottages are separated by hedges for maximum privacy.
The Keywest Family (Premium) neighborhood offers the same as Keywest and is also car-free. The great thing about these cottages is that they are all laid out around a central playground. While you enjoy your cup of coffee on the wooden porch, you can keep an eye on your child(ren) as they are playing. In addition, more families with children will be staying here, making it easy to make contact.
In addition, there is much more choice of rental accommodations. A variety of cottages, chalets and villas are available for rent. Starting in 2023, the campground will also offer a cottage specifically designed for persons with limited mobility and their families. Ask about Cottage PPE.
If you love swimming, then Camping Les Alicourts Resort is the right place for you! The campground has a fantastic swimming pool, for both young and old. The whole family will have an excellent time here, as there is so much to choose from. There is an indoor heated swimming pool, whose roof can be opened in good weather. There is also a heated outdoor pool, wave pool, lagoon pool and hot tub. For the smallest there is a water playground and a heated paddling pool with play equipment. They can also play in the Pirate Ship and slide down the slide. There are also slides for older children (and adults), including a slide that you go down with a rubber band. Fun guaranteed!
There is a sun terrace with sun beds to recover from all that water fun. Basically there are more than enough sunbeds but in high season it sometimes happens that they are occupied. But really, you don’t need a lounger with all that choice of pools and slides!
You can even go to the beach here! Because in the middle of the campground is a great swimming lake with a sandy beach. You can do numerous water sports here such as canoeing, pedal boats, kayaking and fishing. But there’s also a cable water-ski course, and don’t forget your SUP, because of course that’s also possible here (you can also rent them). And if that is not enough, there is also an aqua park in the water full of obstacles and bouncy castles!
The campground is also known for its luxurious wellness center. There is a lovely indoor pool with a 1,000-square-foot balneotherapy and spa area. For a fee, you can use various hammams, saunas and hot tubs here. There are also hydromassage pools available and you can book various body and facial treatments. That will be enjoyment!
If you don’t feel like cooking, you can eat at the restaurant. There is also a snack bar where you can pick up pizza, among other things. There is also an ice cream stand to buy delicious ice creams.
If you book in advance, you can take advantage of a discount. If you want to make things really easy for yourself, the campground offers half-board: for a flat fee, you can have breakfast and lunch or dinner. That’s easy and luxurious!
In 2022, staff shortages meant the restaurant was understaffed and wait times were quite long. If you want to eat out outside the campground, you have to drive a bit to do so because the campground is in a somewhat remote area.
