  • 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.

Beachfront beauty, cycle paths & local shops. Stunning views & a heated pool a hit with families. Pitches are good. Facilities, esp. toilets/showers, are dated & need a refresh. Some cleanliness issues & noise noted.

Liked Location is decent

Disliked For the tourists out there, the lady at the reception was extremely rude I hope she can fix that attitude as she claims she doesn't understand English when she is speaking in it just fine. I also don't like how they don't give toilet paper or a toilet seat to sit on for the majority of the toilets. The toilets are so complicated as they are separated from the washrooms so you have to walk to another building just to wash your hands however there isn't even any soap given. It needs a lot of improvement for the facilities cause I felt disgusted staying at the campsite. The smell of the washrooms smelt like urine most of the time and they can't give toilet paper or hand soap? The campsite barely gives information on what to do around the town along with a rude French lady at the reception. It is such an expensive stay for those with family as well. You also have to pay for Wi-Fi? I'm sorry do not recommend, bad campsite.

Liked This was a lovely site in a good location of visiting Île de Ré.
It had a lovely size pool, close to a shop and near all the cycle paths. Bus stop to La Rochelle just very nearby so we did not need to move our camper van once we had set up.

Disliked What lets this site down severely is the lack of cleanliness in the bathrooms.
I don’t think I saw anyone cleaning them in the 3 days we were here and the bins which also were used as sanitary bins were constantly over flowing.
This is made worse by the fact they are unisex bathrooms so my young son was subject to dirty sanitary items. It’s not really good enough, especially as this was the most expensive site we have booked during our stay in France. You’d expect more when you pay more.

Liked Beachfront location
Pool was lovely

Disliked Facilities were very dated, not very clean. Showers had a black sludge in the gully drain. Thankfully we had our own toilet in our camper.
The daily announcements were only in French so we couldn’t understand them. Didn’t really see much staff to comment, but the lady in reception was pleasant on check in.
The walk across the road to get to the pool wasn’t ideal.
Not worth the money paid

Liked The camping Le Platin-La Redoute was very complete in all its services offered, as they have an area for kids with a bouncy castle and a play ground. Also, doing activities for children in the morning. At night, they were offering live music, karaoke, bbq, etc.
The camping is very well located. You can find shops and the beach only 2 min walking. I highly recommend it.

Disliked Toilets a bit old

Liked Plenty of wash and shower facilities, location second to none, adjacent to shops and lovely bakery, good atmosphere. Security personnel.

Disliked Only electric barbecue is allowed that we were not expecting but staff kindly pointed to the area we could cook the meal.
Toll bridge charge crossing to the island and heavy traffic at the weekend but it was inevitable.

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.
