  • Large pitches at a 200-hectare estate near Saint-Julien-des-Landes
  • A 15-minute drive to the Vendée beaches; 55 minutes to Puy du Fou
  • Pool complex, lagoon beach, restaurant and lots of activities on site
Seeking some space to relax? You’ll certainly have plenty of that at Camping La Garangeoire – this Vendée site is part of a 200-hectare estate five minutes’ drive from Saint-Julien-des-Landes, with a rather magnificent historic house at its centre. The large size of the site means plenty of space to spread out on all the pitches, and it also means plenty of facilities for guests. The estate has been welcoming guests since way back in 1964, and in the intervening years the owners have continued to add more and more extras so they can now boast pretty much everything you’d want from a holiday location. On the entertainment front, that means a heated outdoor pool complex (with slides, a paddling pool and various activities including water polo and night swims), a sauna and massage room, two tennis courts, a football pitch, miniature golf, playgrounds, fishing ponds, an outdoor fitness area and trampolines. And that’s not all… there are also daily activities for kids and adults alike (including archery sessions, yoga and football training), plus bike hire, pedal go-kart hire, nature walks and a horse riding centre for kids’ pony rides, adult lessons and trail rides in the forest. And even that’s not all… because you’ll probably also want to leave some time for the beach area, which has a lovely lagoon that goes to a maximum depth of 90cm and is just the place for taking the kids for a safe paddle or swim. Meanwhile, when it comes to the essentials, there are plenty of those around too: the site has a restaurant, bar, wine bar, takeaway, supermarket, launderettes, electric vehicle charging… and a reception area with friendly staff who can help sort anything not on the list.

What customers say

Top-rated, well-kept site with spacious, private pitches, many with own toilets. Staff are brilliant & helpful. Loads to do with pools, lagoon, restaurant & shop. Mostly grand, just a note on cashless, iffy Wi-Fi & busy pools sometimes. A cracking family spot, folks will be back.

Mark H.

Fully-serviced grass pitch (private bathroom amenities)

Liked Pitch was lovely and big, but best was the individual shower and toilet on the pitch.
The site was amazing with a pool, lagoon, horse riding and mini golf to name but a few activities. The takeaway was brill and prices amazing. The bar was cool and prices surprisingly good value.
The staff were fabulous, so friendly and keen to help. Bar guy was so friendly and welcoming.

Disliked Cashless system was a bit of a nuisance until you got used to it. Also the washing machine tokens. If you wanted to wash and shop shut (12-5) there was nowhere to get a token, and €6 a bit expensive. Guy in bar doing Cheese and wine should have had help whilst he did his informative presentation. WIFI only in few places.

Tracey O.

Fully-serviced grass pitch (private bathroom amenities)

Liked Loved the pitch; it had everything we needed and more, super large with a toilet and shower shed as well as washing-up facilities, so we didn't have to walk anywhere if we didn't want to. The estate is stunning. The staff were very attentive; nothing was too much trouble. We couldn't fault a thing. It's easy to see why families have been going back for 40-plus years.

Disliked NOTHING other than leaving

Local attractions

If you’re coming to the Vendée it’s likely that you’d like to spend some time at the beach. The easiest way to do that is to hop on the shuttle bus that runs to local beaches once a week in summer. If you’d rather travel under your own steam, it’s a 15-minute drive to Bretignolles-sur-Mer, or just under half an hour to Saint Gilles Croix de Vie or Les Sables d’Olonne. There are plenty of activities to try over at the beaches – and in the local area too. There’s a circuit of five golf courses around the park, plus go-karting at Circuit Mecamax (20 minutes’ drive), walks and bike rides at Lac de Jaunay (10 minutes) and aerial adventures at Le Grand Défi (five minutes). If you’re after a full-on family day out, plan a trip to Puy du Fou (55 minutes) – the history-inspired theme park is packed with rides, activities and shows so you’ll easily fill a day there with the kids.
