  • Riding school, swimming complex and sports courts; restaurant and bar
If you’re looking to keep the kids (and yourselves) busy in peaceful and secure surroundings, take a chance on Camping Les Embruns d’Oleron, tucked away in a private woodland park on the Île d’Oléron, sitting just off the Atlantic coastline of Charente-Maritime. There’s much sporty fun to be had on site: games of pétanque, tennis, football and beach volleyball will keep everyone entertained and active, and if you need to cool off after all your exertions, there’s always the pool. In high season, much of the camp’s life revolves around the pool, with occasional aqua gym classes and a fun lazy river feature for the kids. Handily, parents can chill on the sun terrace overlooking the pool while keeping an eye on their offspring in the water. Biking families can explore the length and breadth of Oléron on the cycle path straight from the campsite – and if you don’t have bikes, there’s a rental company a couple of minutes’ walk away. Fancy exploring the island on horseback rather than on two wheels? Head for the adjoining equestrian centre, where kids can learn to ride a pony, experts can hone their riding techniques and everyone can trot through the waves on the beach. Catering is all taken care of here too, with a breakfast bread delivery service, a snack bar serving up copious amounts of ice cream to the kids, and a bistro for lunchtime and evening seafood feasting. Anything else you need, there’s a supermarket in Le Château-d’Oléron (10 minutes’ walk).

Electric grass and earth pitch (XXL)

Liked: Very spacious pitches. You can choose where you can be. Very level with plenty of bushes to separate. Bar was closed for the end of season. Toilets and showers very clean. Didn’t use pool but looked really good. Close to lots of beaches.

Disliked: Too many mosquitoes to sit outside

Local attractions

Your Île d’Oléron bucket list may include days on the beach: head to Grande Plage de la Giraudière (10 minutes’ drive) for kitesurfing and sand yachting, go fishing off Plage de Saint-Trojan-les-Bains, or swim in calm waters at Plage de la Gautrelle (both 25 minutes). But the island isn’t just about beaches. Learn of its history with a stroll around the arsenal, chapel and fortified towers at the Citadelle du Château d’Oléron (10 minutes’ walk), completed by military architect Vauban in 1704. Take a boat trip from Boyardville (20 minutes) around Fort Boyard, sitting on a rocky islet just offshore and built in the 19th century at the behest of Napoleon Bonaparte. If you’re looking to explore on the mainland with the kids, treat them to colourful monsters of the deep at La Rochelle Aquarium (an hour), or let them be captains for the day on historic sailing boats at Arsenal des Mers in Rochefort. They’ll also probably jump at the chance to encounter giant otters, orangutans and cheetahs at La Palmyre Zoo (both 35 minutes).
