  • 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.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked Der Campingplatz ist wunderschön gelegen auf der Ile! Man hat einen direkten Strandzugang, was einfach toll ist. Uns hat auch gut gefallen, dass der Entertainmentbereich (Pool etc) ausgelagert auf der anderen Straßenseite ist, sodass die Anlage schön ruhig ist.
Waschmöglichkeiten vorhanden, prima!

Disliked Die Duschen und WCs sind von der Sauberkeit her ok, allerdings kommt es auf die Tageszeit an, abends war es mitunter etwas wild! Insgesamt ist positiv hervorzuheben, dass die Dusche schön heiß war und das Wasser auch in einer angemessenen Länge lief.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked Lovely camping site, very clean and well run. Close to shops, restaurants, markets and bus routes. Heated swimming pool and a nice play area for the younger campers. The site is next to the sea front and cycle paths. Would definitely recommend to others.

Disliked The only downside for me is the shower and toilet blocks being unisex. Although this is something normal in France.

Pitches didn't have their own water tap so if you are camping quite a walk to fill up water containerers.

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.
