  • Family-friendly site outside Saint-Denis-d’Oléron, on the Île d’Oléron
  • Phare de Chassiron five minutes’ drive; Fort Louvois 40 minutes
  • Dogs welcome; indoor heated pool and wellness area; restaurant
On the north-eastern tip of the Île d’Oléron, one kilometre north of Saint-Denis-d’Oléron, Vacances ULVF - Les Beaupins is a top spot for a seaside-y family holiday. Indeed, there are so many beaches scattered along both coasts of this island in the Bay of Biscay that you can probably choose a different one for each day of your stay. Fancy a sheltered sandy beach with shallow waters where you can have a go at paddleboarding? Head to Plage de la Boirie (five minutes’ drive – or hire a bike on site, so you don’t have to worry about parking; it takes about the same time to cycle as it does to drive). Plage des Huttes (10 minutes, or 15 minutes by bike) is more exposed, and the place to visit if you’re into kite- or windsurfing. Plage de Chaucre (15 minutes, or 25 minutes by bike) has rockpools at low tide, and it is a top spot for sunset watching. The site is so close to the sea that you might be able to hear the ocean from your shaded pitch. On days when the ocean roars (instead of gently murmuring) and feels a little rough, you can head to the on-site heated indoor pool (with a paddling area) or to the wellness zone, which has a sauna and Jacuzzi. Alternatively, take a break from the water altogether and make the most of the other on-site facilities, such as the pétanque court or the multisports fields. This dog-friendly site also has a playground, a restaurant/bar and a food shop, as well as a toilet/shower block and a launderette.

What customers say

Brilliant spot near the beach & town, with brilliant staff. Grounds & heated pool top-notch. Some found pitches tight or awkward, food basic, and a few had noise/toilet cleanliness grumbles.

Robin K.

Electric optional grass and earth pitch

Liked 10 minute walk to St Denis village. Pitches large. Staff very helpful and friendly. We had a buffet dinner at the on site restaurant, which was amazing. Salad, meats, fish bisque, mussels or coq au vin....delicious. Facilities, bearing in mind we stayed at the very end of season, were clean and well tended. Pool was covered and clean. Lovely games area, including immaculate petanque courts?? We hired electric bikes on site and easily rode around half of the Ile . Checking in and out was seamless. Nice place to be, and will definitely be back.

Electric optional grass and earth pitch

Liked Accueil impeccable, camping très bien situé à proximité de l'océan et du phare de Chassiron (pour les couchers de soleil magnifiques). Jaccuzi très agréable. Le seul bémol réside dans les sanitaires qui bien que propres sont un peu spartiates. En fin de saison, le camping est calme, c'est ce que nous recherchons ; il doit être très animé l'été.

Hayley R.

Electric optional grass and earth pitch

Liked Reception staff were friendly and helpful.

Disliked We didn't even stay once we arrived. The camping 'pitches' are spots of grass between static caravans and they squeeze more tents on that they should allow. The site was run down and a brief visit to the toilets only confirmed our desire to leave. They should not really advertise for camping as the pitches aren't designed for tents. Would not recommend the site to others.

Disliked La taille de l’emplacement indiqué n’est pas du tout celle que nous avons eu. L’emplacement était beaucoup plus petit et nous avons dû nous arranger avec les voisins. Les sanitaires étaient moyennement propres.

Local attractions

On the northernmost tip of the island is the Phare de Chassiron lighthouse (five minutes’ drive or a half-hour stroll), built in the 19th century and surrounded by elegantly manicured gardens. It’s worth climbing the 224 steps to the top for distant views of Île de Ré, across the strait. Designed in the 1600s by Louis XIV’s military architect Vauban, Fort Louvois (40 minutes) sits between the Île d’Oléron and the mainland. At low tide, it can be accessed on foot; at other times, you’ll have to take the shuttle boat to visit its ramparts, barracks and powder house. On the river Charente, Rochefort (an hour) is surrounded by marshes and mudflats inhabited by storks and avocets. A nearby hangar houses the aircraft of the Musée de l’Aéronautique Navale, while in town the Old School of Naval Medicine, founded in the late 18th century to train surgeons on board warships, sits in a splendid park.
