Description 

"The camp site is situated 100 km from Paris, and 40km from Rouen. The domain of "L'île des Trois Rois" welcomes you in the protected site of the 'Château Gaillard', nestled between the edge of the Seine and a private pound.
In a green setting, 300 vasts and shaded places, mobile-home renting out, are at your dispsal for your greater relaxation." - Camping de "L'île des Trois Rois"

This is a large campsite with English speaking administrative staff, numerous toilet facilities plus the advantage of a level site. We stayed during the latter part of June when the campsite was pleasantly quiet, though during the school holidays it will no doubt be much busier.

As I understand it, this campsite was formerly the 'Camping Municipal' for Les Andelys but the site is now being run privately.

Within a 30km radius there are numerous attractions suitable for all age groups. We had taken our bicycles and were pleasantly surprised to discover many quiet cycle routes. The nearby village of Le Petit Andely is just a short walk or cycle ride along the banks of the Seine while the larger town of Les Andelys provides a typical French market, numerous shops and a large supermarket.

Notes 

We originally planned to stay one or two nights but despite some rather poor weather we stayed for a total of 10 nights. We were lucky to get a pitch only metres from the bank of the River Seine where barges still ply their trade delivering everything from construction materials to new motor vehicles, thus removing many heavy goods vehicles from the French roads.
