  • Quiet, family-friendly site 25 mins' drive from La Tranche-sur-Mer
  • An hour’s drive from Puy du Fou and 20 minutes to the nearest beach
  • Pool with waterslide, games room, play areas, grocers and bar on site
After a quiet and rural style stay that seems just tailor-made for family hols? It may be time to check in for some quality time to the south of the Vendée region at Camping O’Beau Laurier. Here, 50 minutes' drive from La Rochelle, you’ll have the privacy (and shade) that comes along with wide pitches sheltered by mature trees. Plus, there’s pretty much everything available on site that you’ll need for a break en famille. What about those kid-friendly facilities then? Well, there’s a playground and a bouncy castle for bouncing about and a swimming pool with a waterslide and a paddling area for younger children. Around the pool is a sun deck for chilling, and teens can lounge around (just being teens, really) in the games room, playing table football or snooker. A launderette may well make life a little easier for parents, and a handy on-site food shop supplies day-to-day necessities as well as local artisan produce. On the catering front, there’s a snack bar (serving up burgers, frites and ice cream) to keep everyone fed, along with communal barbecues for those who fancy some self-catering time. And things don’t stop after dark either – the owners often organise evening entertainment including themed meals, karaoke sessions and night-time sports events. With its prime location close to the waterslides of O’Gliss Park, long, sandy beaches like Plage de l’Oasis (both 20 minutes’ drive) and the history pageants at the wonderful Puy du Fou theme park (an hour), there’s plenty to keep everyone on their toes when you’re exploring away from base too.

Liked: La piscine, la déco avec les lanternes, les cocktails. L'emplacement était correct.

Disliked: Nous n'avons pas été préalablement prévu qu'il y avais besoin deux rallonge car il y a une seul prise pour 4 terrain la pris se trouvent a deux terrains de nous ce n'est pas pratique. Ni qu'il fallait un adaptateur, pour nous qui découvrons le mode du camping nous aurions préfère être prévenue.

Electric optional hardstanding and grass pitch

Liked: Friendly site, mainly French speaking but a little English. It has everything you need for children. Bouncy castle, trampoline, park, footy pitch,swimming pool, water slide, animals. Very busy, family orientated site which was a last min booking, we had lots of fun but not much sleep!! Quite noisy so if you don’t have younger children perhaps not for you.

Disliked: Lots of dog mess around that I had to clear up, I don’t have a dog!

Electric optional hardstanding and grass pitch

Liked: We stayed for 3 nights in our campervan and loved this campsite. Nice pool and slide. The man who greeted us was very friendly and welcoming, gave us a choice of pitches. They have all sorts of activities and games going on to entertain children. There was even a small market at the site on our first night. Can't recomend enough.

Electric optional hardstanding and grass pitch

Liked: On arrival the owner was really pleasant. We both felt at ease immediately. All the staff were very pleasant and friendly. All facilities were very well maintained and clean. Including the swimming pool as the manager cleaned early every morning ready for each day plus checks throughout the day.

Disliked: The pool is excellent with a water slide. Unfortunately the water slide was only turned on occasionally. Mainly when children were in. As a more mature camper I didn’t want to be the one to ask for it to be turned on but did miss out and didn’t get chance to have a go.

Local attractions

Whether it’s a sandy lounge around or a stroll along the beach, Plage de la Pointe (25 minutes’ drive) is a good place to let down your hair a little. The same can be said for Puy du Fou (an hour), which is packed with theme park rides for some goodhearted exhilaration. Birdwatching fan? There are many species to spot at the Réserve naturelle régionale du marais de la Vacherie (20 minutes). Les Oiseaux du Marais Poitevin (an hour) is another ornithological favourite where birdwatchers should have good luck. Canal cruises also take part of the limelight here, giving you a sense of the river as it runs through a wild marsh. There’s quite the mix of things to do around here, whether that’s golfing 40 minutes’ drive away, looking at the little fishies in the Aquarium La Rochelle (50 minutes) or peering into the historic Château de Terre Neuve (45 minutes). However, it may be that you’re looking for a day trip somewhere further afield. If so, a boat trip to Île de Ré (an hour and five minutes) might fit the bill nicely. This place harbours 17th-century fortifications, cafés on the marina and lots of cycling paths.
