  • Laidback site centred around a couple of well-stocked fishing lakes
  • A five-minute drive from Montendre and half an hour from Cognac
  • Swimming pools, bar, kids’ play area and plenty of green space
Cyclist, walker, angler or dog owner? Whether you’re one or all of the above, Twin Lakes France, a relaxed site set in the countryside with a couple of catch-and-release fishing lakes (PS: chances to angle for carp and roach are included in the price), is a friendly bolthole in the Charente-Maritime.​​ If you’d rather take to the water than rest beside it with a rod, the park also has swimming pools for a spot of submerging and a bar with a view of the lakes for putting your feet up while sipping a cold beer (or three). When thoughts turn to getting out and about, Twin Lakes is close to many pictureworthy French villages hosting authentic markets, and cycling and walking paths are easily accessible. It’s just over a five-minute from Montendre – stop here for a supermarket – and half an hour from tasting sessions in the liquor houses of Cognac. Back on site after a bit of booze, there’s ample green space next to the lakes for you to spread out on while the dog snuffles about and the sprogs take on the play area. Events are organised through the year, including weekly trivia nights and bingo, and mornings are given a boost with bread delivery from a local bakery (during high season).

What customers say

This is a highly recommended campsite praised for its peaceful atmosphere, friendly and accommodating English owners, and clean, modern facilities including hot showers and fast WiFi. Guests enjoyed the well-stocked fishing lake, on-site bar and restaurant with good food, and organised entertainment. Some noted occasional noise from the bar, and the swimming pool is scheduled for renovation. Wandering goats are present but described as timid and not problematic.

Liked This was our second stay at Twin Lakes and not disappointed, the site is relaxed super friendly site with space and lovey restaurant, the owners were very welcoming. Great site for travelling with pets as they were able to walk free around top lake. Decent WiFi at pitch, nice bar that also sells UK beer. if you have a bike the supermarket and local town is about 15 to 20mins ride on back roads. There is a section where people own holiday homes and they are also super friendly and even did a charity raffle while we were there.

Disliked Dislike or niggle was water points had hoses that kept popping off, and the far one was cut off completely so had to use main one that had multiple connections to other units, if changed each point to fixed stand pipes with two taps at each point, it would solve the problem and enable water access to both points. or install more water points?

Liked The site was one of the best that we have stayed at over the last two weeks. The fishing lake was well stocked, the shop had all you needed and the bar facilities and swimming pools were an added bonus. The site residences even arranged entertainment such as football, quizzes and bingo and made you feel truly welcomed.

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review and for recommending Twin Lakes.

We’re delighted to hear that you found our staff friendly, enjoyed the modern and clean facilities, and appreciated your pitch beside the lakes.

We completely understand that, due to your schedule, you weren’t able to make the most of everything we have to offer, including the restaurant and some of the other facilities on site. We hope that if you visit us again in the future, you’ll have the chance to experience even more of Twin Lakes.

Liked Relaxed super friendly site with space and lovey restaurant, the owners were very welcoming. great site for doggies as they were able to walk free around top lake. also had decent WiFi at pitch, nice bar that also sells UK beer. if you have a bike the supermarket and local town is about 15 to 20mins ride on back roads.
We enjoyed it that much we booked another stay on our return journey.

Disliked The shop is basic and they do not do fresh bread in the mornings, that said you are only a short bike or car ride away. The shower and toilet blocks could do with more space to hang clothes etc but not a show stopper.
Dislike or niggle was water points had hoses that kept popping off so had to use main one that had multiple connections to other units, if changed each point to fixed stand pipes with two taps at each point, it would solve the problem and enable water access to both points. or install more water points?

Liked Had the pleasure of staying here twice within the space of a week - beautiful location surrounded by nature, incredibly peaceful in the evenings. Rob and the team are great hosts, going out of their way to make sure you feel welcomed. All the facilities were clean, hot water for showers in the morning, food from the restaurant was lovely and the whole vibe of the camp was great!

Disliked Only dislikes were me not having time for some fishing and not getting myself a second steak from the restaurant!

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: What a lovely review! Thank you so much Daniel. We loved having you visit our campsite and enjoy a meal in our restaurant. Now you know where we are maybe you could stay a little longer next time and do some fishing. Safe travels and we hope to see you again!

Local attractions

Make your way to the outskirts of Montendre, the local town, to meander around the Mysterra maze set in woodland (10 minutes’ drive) or roam around the Baron Desqueyroux Lake. Set foot in the town centre for a nosey at the castle, then head on a jaunt to Jonzac (20 minutes). This pretty little town is home to the geothermally heated Les Antilles de Jonzac waterpark – visit for dips in the lagoon and wave pools or to bask in the bubbles of the Jacuzzi. To offset all this rather indulgent R&R, channel your inner high roller in the casino or leave town for tasting sessions in a Gironde estuary vineyard like the Maison de la Vigne et des Saveurs in Archiac. Cognac (30 minutes) and its surrounds also have brandy-production places that are open to the public if you’d like to learn more about this famed area’s alcohol-making heritage. If it’s not a holiday without a walk on the beach, bound over to the seaside resort of Talmont-sur-Gironde (55 minutes) or roam to Royan at the mouth of the Gironde estuary (an hour and five minutes). Back inland for more tipple tasting, Bordeaux and local wine villages like Saint-Émilion are around an hour’s drive.
