  • Campsite with Atlantic Ocean views on Poitou-Charentes' Ile de Ré
  • A 10-minute drive to La Rochelle and 15 minutes to Saint-Martin-de-Ré
  • Swimming pool, activities, shop, bar and easy access to Rivedoux beach
Well, what a setting. Just over the bridge connecting the tiny Ile de Ré with mainland France, Camping Le Platin-La Redoute is a smashing Poitou-Charentes base for exploring the island, lazing on the sandy beaches or admiring Atlantic Ocean views from the pitches. For sporty holidaymakers, activities on site include swimming laps in the heated outdoor pool or splashing around with toddlers in the paddling pool. You can take refreshing dips or try high-octane kitesurfing and jetskiing off Rivedoux beach – more sedate types might prefer paddleboarding or fishing – and rent bikes to traverse Ile de Ré, with one bike track leaving from right outside the campsite. In high season, all sorts of fun entertainment kicks off for families, from aqua fit classes to a kids’ club and keenly fought table-tennis tournaments. Night-times are sorted too, with shows and karaoke sessions at the bar. Pick up your day-to-day basics and fresh baguettes at the campsite shop, or if you fancy eating out, there are burger bars and crêperies within a few minutes’ walk.

Liked Everything nothing to dislike. In fact we liked it so much we stayed an extra 5 days (8 in all)
Reception staff were very helpful, toilets and showers were clean. Remember you need your own toilet roll which seems to be standard in France.

Great villages to explore by bike or local bus, great island would def stay here again

Disliked Not really a dislike but the pool is across the road which was fine. There’s not that many sun loungers, so need to get there by 10 if you want to use one.

My only request is to have more sun loungers and maybe a life guard to help organise the pool area - too many kids on their own taking sunloungers but in the pool all day, never using the sunloungers. when there were chairs to put their stuff on.

Very near the beach, although not visible from pitch. A lovely island…

Liked Very near the beach, although not visible from pitch.
A lovely island with many lovely places to visit.

Disliked The pitch we were given was sadly lacking. The bar was about 20 paces from our pitch and it was loud. I felt the pitched lacked privacy. Very little shade.
Noisy site. We had 2 nights, but I would have preferred to leave after the first.
However, if you like a lively site, this one is for you.

Fabulous scenery

Local attractions

The campsite is in pole position for discovering the many attractions on the obligingly flat Ile de Ré, whether on foot, by bike or car. Saint-Martin-de-Ré (15 minutes’ drive or 40 minutes’ cycle) is a pretty oceanside village for a potter around the marina, a walk along the once-fortified defence walls and a bite of lunch in cosy quayside auberges. Take nature-loving kids to Lilleau des Niges National Nature Reserve (45 minutes’ drive) to (hopefully) spy terns and avocets on the salt marshes, climb the Phare des Baleines lighthouse (40 minutes) for views across the island, or simply take a picnic and eat it all together on the quiet beaches of La Couarde-sur-Mer (20 minutes) or La Noue (half an hour). Family trips back to the mainland might include a day on the beaches of lively La Rochelle (10 minutes) and a wander around the city’s medieval ramparts to its famous triumvirate of watchtowers. Other kid-centric attractions in La Rochelle include the Aquarium, visits to the subterranean Bunker La Rochelle to see weapons and uniforms from World War II, or a poke around among eccentric automated models at the Musée des Automates.
