Electric grass and earth tent pitch

Liked Location

Disliked This site is a rundown neglected dump the washrooms are very old neglected and dirty half the sinks have no hot water there is only one male shower with a lock on the door there is a workshop on view full of junk and there are tatty old vans all over the place there is a duck farm next door which produces noise all night long the adjacent farm was spreading manure on the field which meant staying in my van with all the windows shut there is no public transport on Sundays

Electric grass and earth tent pitch

Liked Le cadre, le prix, la gentillesse du personnel.

Disliked Nous avons eu de la chance d'être en fin de saison avec peu de vacanciers. Mais j'imagine comme peut être problématique le nombre insuffisant de douches et de sanitaires lorsque le camping est plein. La piscine est un peu vétuste, froide et abîmée mais c'est toujours sympa d'y piquer une tête. Vu le tarif, il faut demeurer cohérent. Moi et mes enfants on a passé un super séjour avec notre tente !

Electric grass and earth tent pitch

Liked À 20 minutes de La Rochelle en voiture

Disliked Dès l’arrivée on nous dit « couper le contacte, descendez du véhicule » sûrement pas méchant mais assez maladroit sur le ton employé. Camping avec des alentours très bruyant: canard, route, travaux, chasse … Les sanitaire sont très vétuste, toilette à la turque uniquement. De plus pour les emplacements c’est simple ils ne sont pas délimité touts le monde s’installe comme il le souhaite comme pour notre cas un jeune couple ayant passé la nuit à boire rigoler et mettre de la musique jusqu’à 6h du matin à 2 mètres de notre tente (malgré les demandes de plusieurs campeur de faire moins de bruit) la première nuit, donc pas d’intimité et très bruyant en plus d’être non adapté au sardine de tente car trop rocailleux (peut être uniquement où nous avons choisit de nous mettres). Bref, on sent que le camping est là pour faire de l’argent mais c’est pas grave car ils ont une « forêt enchantée » impraticable et une « rivière…. » (je ne me rappelle pas comment ils l’appellent) ultra bruyante car en face d’un élevage de canard/chenil à 5 mètre sur l’autre rive.

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).
