  • Covered and outdoor pools, plus 3000m² lagoon with beach
  • Bar, snack bar and shop; entertainment on summer season evenings
Might you be seeking a fabulous family holiday within easy reach of Vendée and Loire-Atlantique beaches? How about some free fishing thrown in? Pack the angling kit and your most fetching swimsuit for a stay at Camping Le Bois Joli. Your closest beach from here is a Loire-Atlantique one, 20 minutes' drive away at Les Moutiers-en-Retz, and it's a cinch to get to the Vendée coast from here too: Saint-Jean-de-Monts is also within 20 minutes, and Saint-Hilaire-de-Riez and Saint Gilles Croix de Vie are each within half an hour. Watersports and beach basking are – but of course – all available around the nearby shores. Camping Le Bois Joli's local town is Bois-de-Céné, less than a kilometre away. If you don't want to stroll even this far for your French baguette fare, you can bag bread and pastries on site daily, freshly baked each morning. There's also a snack bar for light eats, and a grocery corner for essentials and camping gas. Once you're all stocked up, a good range of pursuits await for your leisurely pleasure: you can cast off – gratis – for carp, pike and roach at the on-site fishing pond, or toddle over to the swish pool complex for outdoor and indoor swims, bubbles in the Jacuzzi, or sunbathing sessions on the terrace alongside. The outdoor pool is open late and is where you should head (or stay) for music and other evening entertainment laid on by the site team in high season. And if that's not enough water time yet, there's always the lovely 3000m² lagoon, which has warm shallow waters for paddling and swims, plus soft sand to sunbathe on. Camping Le Bois Joli also has a play area with swings, slides and a sandpit.

Power optional grass site

Liked: L'emplacement était super bien placé, spacieux . Il y a des animations et des soirées à thème. Il y a trois piscines dont une chauffée et couverte. Il y a des aires de jeux pour les enfants. Les enfants peuvent aller jouer pendant que les parents peuvent aussi faire une pétanque ou du ping ping ou boire un verre sur la terrasse du bar. Nous avons passé un bon séjour de 15 jours.

Disliked: On a eu deux petits problèmes de sanitaire pendant le séjour qui ont été réglé rapidement mais je trouve qu'il y a peu de sanitaire pour le nombre de campeurs.

Local attractions

Make for the beach and sea of Les Moutiers-en-Retz first, for summer tours of the surrounding salt marshes, wildlife spotting around the same, and sea fishing from the town foreshore. The tourist office is in Church Square if you need help with booking trips, or you can pick up info on and tickets for several Vendée attractions back at Camping Le Bois Joli. From Moutiers, drive 20 minutes along the coast to Pornic, the port town with an old harbour where you can idle away hours feeling envious of the boat owners. If you're around of an evening, look to one end of the port for the restored 13th-century fortress of the Château de Pornic, which is rather prettily lit up at night. Also around for recommended day trips are the esteemed isle of Noirmoutier, within 40 minutes' drive, and the seaside town of Les Sables d'Olonne just over an hour away.
