Quiet Vendée family campsite half an hour’s drive from Puy du Fou
A 20-minute drive to fishing and golf; La Roche-sur-Yon half an hour
Snack bar in high season; pétanque court; swimming pool next door

Keen to explore the Vendée or visit Puy du Fou theme park with the kids? If you’re looking for a quiet, laid-back (so laid-back there’s no wifi connection, don’t tell the teenagers) base to hunker down for a few days, have a look at Camping Onlycamp Le Petit Bocage. With a few simple facilities (showers and a laundry service), it’s firmly family-friendly thanks to its location on the outskirts of Essarts-en-Bocage, where you can find food shops for picking up stuff to go on the barbecue, or search out cosy cafés and auberges in which to keep everyone fed and watered. In any case, July and August see a constant stream of ice cream, cold drinks and coffee sold at the site’s snack bar, and you can order freshly baked baguettes and pastries for the following morning’s breakfast. On the days when you’re not out exploring the pretty town of La Roche-sur-Yon or watching medieval spectaculars at Puy du Fou (both half an hour’s drive), you can keep the kids busy with games of pétanque or climbing on the frames in the playground, and in high season the swimming pool right next door is free for site guests to use.

Power optional grass site

Liked: We could choose our own pitch and all pitches were well spaced out and felt private. The facilities were very clean and had soap, toilet paper, good showers, etc. The guy on reception was very friendly and helpful. We had access to an excellent pool complex next door. The town is very pretty and has everything we needed. It's close to the motorway so very conveniently located.

Liked: Beautiful, tranquil location. Unbelievably helpful and friendly staff. Great pool.

Disliked: Accommodation was tired but this is reflected in price and star rating.

From the manager: Thank you very much for your kind review ! Contact with people is our priority and we're happy that you mentioned it, rainy weather but you're adding sun by yourselves. You're right about the accomodations, theses are old mobil-homes, we're trying our best to keep them going in time. Thank you again for your kindness, hope we'll see you again ! Manon & Titouan.

Local attractions

Staying at Camping Onlycamp Le Petit Bocage puts you in pole position for a day trip to the big-hitting theme park Puy du Fou (half an hour’s drive), where you can watch medieval jousting, Roman games and Viking invasions recreated by a colourful cast of thousands. History is also brought to life at Château des Essarts (five minutes), with equestrian shows, crossbow shooting and forest trails. La Roche-sur-Yon (half an hour) is a fortified town built by Napoléon in 1804, where there is lots of grand neoclassical architecture to admire. The kids will no doubt prefer a visit to the Chocolate Museum or to meet the eccentric mechanical animals in Place Napoléon. To get some activity in, spend a family day on the rope courses and zipwires of Tépacap Vendée amusement park, or hire a pedalo to explore the lake at neighbouring Pédalo Minigolf - Lac Tricherie (both 20 minutes). Round off your adventures with a stroll around scented gardens full of seasonal produce at Le Potager Extraordinaire (25 minutes).
