If you are planning a stay in Loire-Atlantique, try Camping Ushuaïa Villages 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.

What customers say

This campsite offers a peaceful atmosphere with clean facilities and a well-maintained swimming pool, popular with families and those seeking a relaxing break. While many praise the friendly staff and enjoyable bar/restaurant, some guests noted a lack of choice on the restaurant menu. Tent pitches have been described as sloping and varied in size. Concerns have been raised about insufficient toilet facilities during peak times and the absence of soap in bathrooms. The nearby industrial setting is occasionally mentioned as a drawback.

Liked Superb campsite, the staff are brilliant, friendly and attentive. The pool is lovely and my kids love it! Night entertainment varies and it’s a lovely atmosphere. We had a wonderful time in this campsite.

Disliked Bring your own loo roll, as most times the dispenser runs out quickly during busy times.

Liked Beautiful location next to the estuary and a 25min drive to St Nazaire. We stayed here to see the submarine base and got a bus there in about 45mins.
The staff here are great and provided us with a good timetable to see the submarine.
There’s not a lot in St Nazaire but near the submarine base is a nice beach.
Facilities at the site were very clean and more than enough for everyone.

Disliked The site was great but the bus schedule was very infrequent due to being a small town. Not an issue for the site but something for visitors to bare in mind

Liked Swimming pool , pitch was shady and showers and toilets clean

Disliked That we were told there was a private trek so couldn’t use bar between certain times - or snack bar . This should have been advised ahead of our visit .

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.
