Like its motherland the Pays de la Loire region, camping in the Loire-Atlantique is camping in la France in la miniature. Historically part of the Duchy of Brittany, it comes with the splendid capital Nantes (we’re a bit in love with Nantes), has sensational coastline with miles of safe sandy beaches and the wild rocky coves of the Côte Sauvage, includes wildlife havens and heaps of history, and has tasty tasty food and wine to dip into all over – including the Nantes vineyards on the Loire Valley wine route…
Roll up to your Loire-Atlantique campsite in your tourer or motorhome, take your trusty tent or book an on-site holiday home: for any Loire-Atlantique camping vacance we’d recommend a week(ish) exploring the suggestions above, and another week (fortnightish) around the seaside villages, birdwatching on the salt marshes of the Brière Regional National Park and the Guérande Peninsula, and seeing just how many La Turballe sardines/moules one can fit into one’s mouth at a given time. (Tip: it’s easier with a glass of Muscadet.)
