Dog-friendly site in the town of Paimboeuf, on the banks of the Loire
Legendia Parc 15 minutes’ drive; Pornic 25 minutes; Nantes 55 minutes
Heated covered pool; playground; snack bar and summer entertainment

If you are planning a stay in Loire-Atlantique, try Camping l'Estuaire, a family establishment on the outskirts of the town of Paimboeuf. On site, large pines shade a range of accommodation options, and there are also facilities such as a play area for young and old (including swing-ball and home-ball games), a games room and a reading corner, and a small farm, plus a heated covered pool and two toilet blocks. During the months of July and August, the site comes alive with daytime and evening entertainment, from karaoke to sports tournaments. Or there might be musical artists playing live as you eat your way through a pan of moules-frites at the on-site snack bar, where you can also sample regional wines. This is a popular area for cycling, with trails through open countryside and along the Loire, where you can stop at the Observatoire des Géants industriels (10 minutes by bike) to gaze upon the hulks of industrial structures across the estuary. If you feel active, you can pedal all the way to the Bay of Biscay (35 minutes, or 10 minutes’ drive) and the Serpent d’Océan sculpture in Saint-Brevin-les-Pins. In addition to toilet blocks and showers (including facilities for disabled guests), the site has a launderette.

Electric optional hardstanding and grass motorhome pitch

Liked: Great facilities, pool and toddler pool clean. Good for a walk along the river but the river views not amazing. We went to see the serpent of the ocean the following day.

Disliked: The hand washing sinks behind the toilet so it’s a walk around back of the block which is annoying.

Harry H. Jun 2024

Non-electric gravel and sand tent pitch (no cars)

Liked: Very reasonable price, which included the pool. The facilities were clean, and despite the website saying otherwise, there was free wifi.

Disliked: The pitches for tents were sloping, which is never good for sleeping. They were also all different sizes, so it was hard to know which one to choose.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your comment. Juste to complete : we have many places to put your tent and many are not sloping. The principle of the bike village is that everyone finds their own spot in the entire area

Local attractions

Home to grey wolves, brown bears and meerkats (plus assorted farmyard beasties), Legendia Parc (15 minutes’ drive) organises a number of shows, from swashbuckling pirate extravaganzas to animal-led stories for all ages. It’s also possible to sign up for experiences such as greet-and-meet and feeding sessions. The rugged coastline around the town of Pornic (25 minutes) features several pretty beaches and coves, like sandy Plage du Porteau, sheltered by pine-dotted cliffs, or Plage des Sablons, which is popular with swimmers. When you’re feeling hungry, head into town to sample the local food specialities, from seafood to crêpes. In addition to the elegant Château des Ducs de Bretagne, Nantes (55 minutes) has the Mémorial de l’Abolition de l’Esclavage, a moving underground museum exploring the city’s role in the slave trade. There’s also the Machines de l’Île park, where you can take a ride on an automated elephant complete with spraying trunk.
