The Loire Valley, its châteaux and the Loire à Vélo cycle route have made outdoor tourism a solid business here, and a campsite for sale in Centre-Val de Loire benefits from that reputation. Chambord, Chenonceau, Amboise, Villandry and Chinon draw cyclists, families and foreign visitors every summer, while the Sologne, the Brenne, the Perche and the Berry offer quieter outdoor holidays built around fishing, forests and lakes.
Properties in the region often combine several activities: B&Bs and gîtes alongside a holiday park, large houses whose grounds could host outdoor accommodation, and campsites by the Loire or a lake. This page is for buyers considering a campsite business in Centre-Val de Loire, people investing in a mixed project and owners preparing a handover.

These asking prices often cover estates where the campsite is only one part, next to houses, gîtes or guest rooms, so property value weighs heavily. For a pure campsite business, value rests on EBITDA (EBE in French accounts) over several seasons, plus the land when included. In this region, proximity to a Loire château or the Loire à Vélo route, fast access from the Paris region and a lake or river frontage explain most of the gap between two comparable sites.
The Loire corridor from Orléans to Chinon, largely a UNESCO World Heritage site, concentrates visitor numbers: international guests, cyclists and short breaks support a long season, but riverside plots are flood-prone and covered by risk prevention plans. The Sologne, spanning Loir-et-Cher, Loiret and Cher, offers forests and lakes in a protected setting. To the south, the Brenne and its lakes, the Creuse valley and George Sand's Berry appeal to nature lovers. To the north, the Perche and the Beauce around Chartres attract nearby city dwellers. The A10, A71, A20, A11, A85 and A19 motorways, the TGV stations of Tours and Vendôme and the proximity of Paris make the region a weekend destination as much as a holiday one.
Many campsites here sit beside the Loire, Cher, Indre or Loir, in flood zones: read the flood risk prevention plan at the mairie (town hall). Sites exposed to a natural or technological hazard must follow information, warning and evacuation requirements set by the authorities. Any new site or significant extension requires a permis d'aménager (development permit), including a PRL (parc résidentiel de loisirs), a holiday park for chalets and mobile homes whose plots are rented or sold outright. In the Sologne and Brenne, check the status and upkeep of any lakes. Also review the star rating, valid for 5 years, any septic system inspected by the SPANC service, and the condition of tufa stone buildings, which are sensitive to damp. Our white paper on creating a rural campsite (in French) sets out the steps.
Each activity is valued separately: buildings on the local property market, rental units on their income, the holiday park on its EBITDA and legal status. Commission a professional valuation and test your plan with our financing plan calculator (in French). See also gîtes for sale if bricks-and-mortar lets suit you better.
Proximity to major sites and the Loire à Vélo route boosts footfall and lengthens the season, but the asking price already reflects it. Only several seasons of accounts show real profitability. Test them against your assumptions with the holiday rental simulator (in French) and work with an accountant.
This page lists whole businesses. A park selling plots may appear when it is sold as a whole. For a single plot or chalet, resales often go through the park manager: ask for the rules, charges and occupancy terms, and have a notaire (the public officer who handles French property transfers) check the deed.
