  • Quiet campsite on an old farm three kilometres from the coast
  • Saint-Gilles-Croix-de-Vie 15 minutes' drive; 30 to Île de Noirmoutier
  • Outdoor pool, kids' playground, laundry room and on-site shop
Treat yourself to a top camping break at Le Both d’Orouet, a green and spacious campsite just under three kilometres inland from the gorgeous Vendée coast. Created several decades ago on the spacious grounds of a traditional farm, this family-run park just south of Saint-Jean-de-Monts has held on to its rural vibes and sense of peace. Le Both d’Orouet's well-maintained facilities blend in nicely with its green setting, with highlights including an outdoor pool, a kids' playground, a laundry room and an on-site shop. There's little wonder many of the site's guests return here year after year, sometimes over several generations… An on-site restaurant and bar are also available, and La Bourrine d'Orouët, a nearby eatery a kilometre away from base, is strongly recommended by your hosts for its calm atmosphere and traditional Vendée menu. As you venture further afield, you'll be able to visit sandy beaches with views over the spectacular Île d'Yeu (a few minutes' drive) as well as smart seaside resorts on Île de Noirmoutier (30 minutes) or Saint-Gilles-Croix-de-Vie (15 minutes). While a shop is available on site, if you ever need the services of a supermarket there are a couple within roughly five minutes' drive from base.

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Une équipe très accueillante et souriante
Un emplacement tente assez ombragé et suffisamment grand avec accès eau très proche.
Piscine, bar et activités toute la semaine et toute la journée.
Parc animalier : chèvre et mouton très apprécié par les enfants.
Camping plutôt propre en globalité.

Disliked Pas de livraison de pain (boulangerie à l'extérieur). C'est une activité que mes enfants apprécient de faire habituellement mais devant sortir du camping ils n'y allaient pas
Douches et toilettes plutôt loin de certains emplacements tentes mais plutôt auprès des emplacements mobil-home.
Connexion réseau difficile et pas d'accès wifi gratuit (pas simple pour organiser la semaine tout en cherchant les lieux de réseaux).
Les toilettes par toujours propres (mais cela reste de l'incivilité de certains campeurs).

Local attractions

First, it's time to talk islands. This area has two particular impressive îles that you absolutely must see – the far-famed île d'Yeu, which can be reached by ferry via the terminal at Fromentine (30 minutes' drive), has a rugged landscape that makes quite the contrast with the long sandy beaches of the Vendée coastline. Île de Noirmoutier (30 minutes) is another promising option and doesn't involve boarding a boat, as this marshy island is accessible via a causeway (time your visits carefully if you don't want to get cut off at high tide – or just take the slightly less magical 1970s bridge instead). If remaining on the mainland and admiring the islands from afar is more your bag, you can do just that in resorts like Saint-Gilles-Croix-de-Vie (15 minutes). Alternatively, seek out kid-pleasing day trips at attractions like the must-see Puy du Fou theme park (an hour and 20 minutes), explore culture and cuisine in the large city of Nantes (an hour) or take the time to learn more about the local flora and fauna at Biotopia nature museum (20 minutes).
