  • Small site in an adventure-friendly part of Vendée
  • A 40-minute drive from Puy du Fou; an hour and a half from beaches
  • Heated pool, fishing lake and restaurant with a terrace on site
Searching for somewhere small and sweet? Camping L’Etruyère might just hit the spot… framed by greenery, a hilly landscape and a fishing lake, with regular visitors in the form of a cuckoo and a Eurasian hoopoe, this site has a good combo of peace and adventure. In the Vendée (a cycling hotspot, by the way), this site is 40 minutes’ drive away from the Puy du Fou theme park and an hour and a half from the Atlantic's beaches. Cycling mode activated… this region has thousands of kilometres of cycling paths and routes both long and small. Handily, you’ll be able to career off onto cycling or walking routes directly from the site, mapped out for you so you won’t get too lost. However, the outdoorsy activities don’t just start when you head off site, as there’s a fishing lake and a heated outdoor swimming pool with a waterslide on site. When you’re ready to wind down from all the action, the site has a terraced restaurant with a rather relaxing view over the lake (if you’re not too busy digging into the food already). While there’s plenty of peace around the site, you won’t be strained to find somewhere to shop for your essentials. The closest bakery is just 25 minutes’ walk away from the site. After all, barbecues are permitted here too, so you may want to gather together some goodies for the grill.

Local attractions

Adventure isn’t too far away from here, but where to begin? How about the scenic white beaches in Les Sables-d'Olonne (an hour and a half’s drive) and the surf-worthy waves that often start up? Perhaps you may be drawn in by the dreamy coastal town of La Rochelle (an hour and 20 minutes) and its medieval houses, 17th-century arches and old harbour? It may be that you visit the top-notch theme parks first, such as Puy du Fou (40 minutes) or Futuroscope (an hour and a half)? There are other theme parks of a more miniature size around here too, with or without water-themed rides. For something to jazz up the itinerary a little but still just as thrilling, Parc Adventure 79 (10 minutes) has zipwires, treetop courses and laser tag, while Natur'Zoo Mervent (20 minutes) has zoo animals and a kids’ corner with a mini farm and playground. To the south, there’s the green so-called ‘Venice of France’, Marais Poitevin (50 minutes) where you may hike or hire a boat. Then, to the south of the site, Forêt Domaniale de Mervent-Vouvant (20 minutes) keeps a nice trove of walking and cycling trails with shade from the forest canopies.

What customers say

This campsite is praised for its picturesque lake setting, peaceful atmosphere, and friendly, helpful owners. Guests enjoyed spacious pitches, clean facilities, and the on-site restaurant. The swimming pool was a hit with children. However, some visitors reported issues with owner interactions, including perceived pettiness and an unpleasant welcome. Inconsistent restaurant opening times and the lack of toilet seats were also noted.

Electric grass pitch

Liked We had a lovely spacious pitch, close to the amenities. The camp site is picturesque with its position by the lake and has an excellent restaurant adjacent to the swimming pool. We were very well looked after by the owners Arno and Leonor who kept an eye on us during some inclement weather.
We really enjoyed our stay with them on the site.
