  • Family-friendly site a kilometre from the beach in Saint-Jean-de-Monts
  • 10 minutes' cycle from watersports, tennis, golf and horse riding
  • Indoor and outdoor pools, paddling pools, waterslide and hot tub
If your hols involve living in fear of the phrase ‘I’m bored’, consider a stay at Camping La Prairie. An enormous list of activities awaits at this family site outside Saint-Jean-de-Monts, with plenty to sate even the busiest of busy bees. Ready for a whirlwind tour? Start with the multisports pitch, the pétanque court and the outdoor fitness area. Bouncy kids can leap about on the trampoline or hit the playground; meanwhile, those who’ve outgrown such pursuits can head into the games room for various pursuits. More? How about two pools – one indoor and one outdoor for swims whatever the weather? Each pool has a paddling pool, while the outdoor one has a waterslide and the indoor one a hot tub. Still more? You got it. Summer days mean kids’ activities on site – crafts, treasure hunts, games and so forth. Grownups needn’t feel left out though; later in the day all comers are invited to join together for karaoke, pool parties and live music. All this is before you’ve even left the site, of course. When you do venture out, further frolics lie not far beyond the boundaries. It’ll only take you 10 minutes to walk down the wooded path to the beach, or five minutes to drive into the resort for watersports and other antics. For food, easy options are to mosey over to the site’s snack bar for light meals, ice creams and drinks, or pick up supplies at the shop and head to the communal barbecue. If you’re in need of full meals cooked by someone else, there are a couple of restaurants within a few minutes’ walk.

What customers say

This campsite is praised for its quiet and clean environment, with helpful and friendly staff. Guests enjoyed the well-maintained pools, both indoor and outdoor, and the convenience of private toilet and shower facilities on pitches. On-site amenities, including the snack bar and shop, are reasonably priced. The location is ideal for walking and cycling, though the path to the beach is noted as being long by some. Some guests experienced issues with bread availability in late June.

Electric grass pitch (private bathroom amenities)

Liked Excellent sized pitch. The wee toilet block on it was fantastic. Shower great and the fridge and microwave were really handy. Pool was lovely and the staff really helpful and pleasant. The bar area was good and the pizzas were tasty. The bus stop at the front door of the site was so handy to get around and about.

Liked Receptionists very happy and helpful, explained the site very well. Both pools were well kept and very clean. Nice snack bar, shop & bar and very reasonably priced.
Showers were nice and hot, very clean and big too. Great for walking and biking; there is a pine forest straight across the quiet road. 0.8 mile to the beach took 15 minutes.

Local attractions

If you’d like to pedal your way around, hire bikes from the site (or bring your own, of course) and cycle for a few minutes to join the Vélodyssée cycle route. The full 1200km might be a bit of a stretch, but small chunks make a handy way to see some of this gorgeous coastline. First port of call, however you travel, is the small resort of Saint-Jean-de-Monts (it’ll take you around half an hour to walk, five minutes in the car or 10 minutes to bike it). Eight kilometres of sandy beach provide plenty of space for sunbathing, paddling, games and watersports galore. Further along the coast, half an hour’s drive from the site takes you to Saint Gilles Croix de Vie for boat trips to Île d’Yeu, a gorgeous little island with some great walks and bike rides around its moors, marshes and dunes. Head north for 20 minutes or so in the car and you’ll come to the causeway to Noirmoutier island, another fab place to explore by car or on a bike.
