  • Miniature golf and shop with organic local produce
Sick of morning commutes with hours spent behind the wheel? Free yourself from la voiture at Camping le Sorlut, a family-friendly site on the edge of the Charente-Maritime town of Cozes in Poitou-Charentes… to spend your hols in a haze that has nothing to do with exhaust fumes. The sights of Cozes are close at hand, a two-minute stroll leads to the vélorail station (on a line to the vineyards of Saintonge) and a 10-minute saunter to Rue Saint-Pierre puts two-wheelers on the long-distance GR 360 looped route that starts and ends in Saintes. Adventures under someone else’s steam are a cinch too – a bus station about five minutes’ walk from base has routes to the beaches and towns of the Côte de Beauté. On days when moving even that far feels like a stretch, there’s lots on site to entertain: play a round at the miniature golf course, go game-set-match on the ping pong tables, challenge other guests to pétanque and, during July and August, take a dip in the heated, open-air outdoor pool next door, which is a public pool. Foodies are well served here too: there’s a convenience store for picking up organic and local produce (order crates of fruit and veg when home-cooked meals are on the menu); a bread service during high season and ice cream to be nabbed when the heat starts setting in. A food truck visits the site twice a week, so you can stock up on homemade wraps, fries, tapas and drinks.

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked: Staff were friendly and welcoming, making great efforts to communicate despite our poor French. Great entertainment laid on with a hog roast and local musicians.

Disliked: Minor criticism was that the toilet roll dispensers didn’t work, so you had to take your own. Not a big issue.

From the manager: Thank you for leaving a review. Indeed, we haven't been providing toilet paper for the past 2 years! We're glad that you had a pleasant stay at our campsite. See you soon! Thomas.

Matt R. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked: Good size pitches, good location, super U (supermarket) across the road. Fresh fruit and veg on Sundays and rotisserie on Mondays, owner very pleasant, but doesn’t speak English very well

Disliked: Beware!!! No swimming pool, despite pictures and description. The actual pool is next door (not onsite), a municipal pool and 15 euros a day for a family of 4, despite the booklet, given on entrance saying it was free after 2pm (this is not true) . Toilet cubicles and shower blocks could do with being enclosed as letting too much weather in. No toilet paper & taps weren’t all working

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for leaving a review. Indeed, we are close to all local shops. The municipal swimming pool is outside the campsite and is chargeable. WE INFORM YOU THAT ALL THIS INFORMATION IS LISTED ON THE Pitchup site (in the "information" section). The two taps that did not work during your stay have now been repaired. Thank you for spending part of your stay at our campsite! Happy holidays to you and your family! See you soon ! Thomas

Local attractions

What’s a getaway without some sandy days? Luckily no one has to find out round here as the beaches of Royan’s Grande Conche are just a 15-minute drive from base… This is a top spot for watersports and beachy activities, with standup paddleboarding, sandsurfing, canoeing and kayaking trips, and jetski outings along the seafront. Stick around Royan for museums and the Planet Exotica botanical garden and zoo, or opt instead for the sea lions, tigers and polar bears of Zoo La Palmyre, half an hour from base. More family days are within easy reach at Les Antilles de Jonzac waterpark, 40 minutes away. The banks of the Gironde estuary – the largest in western Europe – are about 15 minutes from the site, and the villages that cling to the shoreline are well worth a visit. Start with comely Talmont-sur-Gironde and its narrow streets of white houses with pretty blue shutters, before travelling onwards to Meschers-sur-Gironde and its Grottes de Matata cliff dwellings. For grown-up days, make the 50-minute journey to Cognac for tastings and distillery tours, castles, gardens and stately houses.
