  • Campsite with Atlantic Ocean views on Poitou-Charentes' Ile de Ré
  • A 10-minute drive to La Rochelle and 15 minutes to Saint-Martin-de-Ré
  • Swimming pool, activities, shop, bar and easy access to Rivedoux beach
Well, what a setting. Just over the bridge connecting the tiny Ile de Ré with mainland France, Camping Le Platin-La Redoute is a smashing Poitou-Charentes base for exploring the island, lazing on the sandy beaches or admiring Atlantic Ocean views from the pitches. For sporty holidaymakers, activities on site include swimming laps in the heated outdoor pool or splashing around with toddlers in the paddling pool. You can take refreshing dips or try high-octane kitesurfing and jetskiing off Rivedoux beach – more sedate types might prefer paddleboarding or fishing – and rent bikes to traverse Ile de Ré, with one bike track leaving from right outside the campsite. In high season, all sorts of fun entertainment kicks off for families, from aqua fit classes to a kids’ club and keenly fought table-tennis tournaments. Night-times are sorted too, with shows and karaoke sessions at the bar. Pick up your day-to-day basics and fresh baguettes at the campsite shop, or if you fancy eating out, there are burger bars and crêperies within a few minutes’ walk.

What customers say

Great beachfront spot, close to shops and cycle paths for island exploring. Pitches are decent. Staff and heated pool get thumbs up, but loos and showers are a bit run-down. Bring your own loo roll and sanitiser. Music can be loud.

Kim N.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked Loved the view.

Disliked The barrier system was a total nightmare! Very embarrassing and a time waster.
Toilets were the worst we have encountered in nearly three weeks. The smell was atrocious.
I found 1 child’s toilet which I could use.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked It was by the sea, all the facilities were good, the swimming pool was fun, i’d give it 8 out of 10.

Disliked They had a fun run near by and the music was too loud and it did not finish until midnight which i thought was a shame.

Stella S.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked Amazing location, great pitch size, could park our motorhome either way to catch the best of the sun. Nothing wrong with the showers but toilets need updating and you needed to take your own toilet paper and hand sanitizer. Other than that great service points. Supermarket just outside of the site, local beach and bars. We enjoyed a cycle over to La Rochelle and around the island. Would definitely go back.

Recommend to friends Visit again

Excellent site, highly recommended. Very pleasant and helpful staff.

Jason G.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked Exceptional pitch with sea view, great location for getting out and about, very very friendly people and a really good standard of facilities available. Local cycle hire, supermarkets and shops cater for everything and everyone.
Great access to the beaches, and a huge number of quiet and safe cycle paths.

Disliked Toilets and showers are a little run down, and really need updating. With an 8 meter motorhome it is quite tight to manoeuvre around the site, but otherwise there is nothing to complain about.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked The site was in a great location and our pitch looked over the beach with a great view of the bridge.

Disliked The shower, toilet and washing up facilities were in very poor condition. Old and need upgrading. They were also full of cobwebs and dirty. There were birds flying about in one block and there was no toilet paper.

Local attractions

The campsite is in pole position for discovering the many attractions on the obligingly flat Ile de Ré, whether on foot, by bike or car. Saint-Martin-de-Ré (15 minutes’ drive or 40 minutes’ cycle) is a pretty oceanside village for a potter around the marina, a walk along the once-fortified defence walls and a bite of lunch in cosy quayside auberges. Take nature-loving kids to Lilleau des Niges National Nature Reserve (45 minutes’ drive) to (hopefully) spy terns and avocets on the salt marshes, climb the Phare des Baleines lighthouse (40 minutes) for views across the island, or simply take a picnic and eat it all together on the quiet beaches of La Couarde-sur-Mer (20 minutes) or La Noue (half an hour). Family trips back to the mainland might include a day on the beaches of lively La Rochelle (10 minutes) and a wander around the city’s medieval ramparts to its famous triumvirate of watchtowers. Other kid-centric attractions in La Rochelle include the Aquarium, visits to the subterranean Bunker La Rochelle to see weapons and uniforms from World War II, or a poke around among eccentric automated models at the Musée des Automates.
