What customers say

This campsite offers a relaxed atmosphere with friendly and helpful staff, and many guests praised the good-sized pitches and pleasant swimming pool. The location near La Rochelle and Île de Ré is considered a significant advantage. However, several reviews highlight that the toilet and shower facilities are basic, dated, and in need of modernisation, with some experiencing cleanliness issues. A few guests noted disorganisation and maintenance concerns.

dave m.

Electric grass and earth touring pitch

Liked Not much

Disliked Arrived on site to a warm welcome but sadly within minutes after parking up i went for a walk with my dog on his lead and he was savagely attacked by a loose pit bull terrier which was owned by a member of the staff. The next day the same dog got out again and ran towards us which caused us to jump in our camper van.
Such dogs are supposed to be banned on site…
My little dog is a nervous wreck as is my wife.
The site itself is ok, mainly an open field with limited shade. Facilities are basic but usable. No toilet rolls supplied or toilet seats.
The nearby village has a small shop but otherwise is devoid of any character apart from the church. The whole area seems to be very tired. The 30 minutes walk to the beach is not very pleasant, walking past half finished construction and run down areas.
La Rochelle is 20 minutes away so one positive.
We have never seen so many bars and restaurants in our lives!

Liked De beschikbaarheid op korte termijn, maar we snapten al snel waardoor dat zo was.

Disliked Wat een puinhoop bij de entree, overal vuil en rondslingerende spullen. Vieze douches en toiletten maakten dat we heel gauw weg zijn gegaan. Helaas hadden we al betaald voor twee nachten….

Local attractions

A good place to start nearby is at the House of the Bay of the Marais Poitevin (10 minutes’ walk) for an insight into the area’s history and its role in the development of commercial mussel cultivation. More history is on display at Fort Boyard, commissioned by Louis XIV in the17th century. The offshore fortress can be visited on a boat trip from Rochefort (45 minutes’ drive). Elsewhere along the coast, you may like to play a round of golf with a sea view on the 18-hole course at Golf la Rochelle La Prée (10 minutes) or spend a day in La Rochelle (20 minutes), visiting the aquarium and maritime museum or tackling the treetop trails of Vertigo Parc La Rochelle Aventure. Alternatively, cross the bridges to explore Île de Ré (20 minutes) or Oléron (an hour). Turning your attention inland is a good idea too, because the lush green landscapes of the Marais Poitevin Regional Natural Park are rather gorgeous. This area, often known as ‘Green Venice' because of its network of waterways, is a wildlife haven alive with birds, butterflies and dragonflies. There are walking and bike trails through the park, or you can join boat tours in Arçais (45 minutes).
