- Quiet family-friendly site on Oléron Island, 150 metres from the beach
- A short drive or cycle to Saint-Denis-d'Oléron and Phare de Chassiron
- Seasonal pools, play area, miniature golf and bicycle rentals on site
Whisking the family away to Oléron Island? The final piece in your puzzle may very well be Camping Barataud. This quiet family-friendly site is just 150 metres from Plage des Huttes, a sandy beach which is supervised in July and August.
With two bicycle rental services on site, you could equip each family member with a pair of wheels and go gallivanting around the island’s safe bicycle trails. The site is only three kilometres from the shops in the centre of Saint-Denis-d'Oléron and a 15-minute cycle (or a 10-minute drive) from its marina, which is lined with beach bars, cafés and restaurants.
One of the island’s most iconic destinations is Phare de Chassiron, a lighthouse built in 1836, only a 15-minute cycle away from the site. There are forest hikes and fishing (on land or at sea) to try around the island, as well as restaurants a short drive away serving the likes of oysters and Pineau.
Before you start thinking too much about all the swimming, kite-flying, horse-riding and cycling you have ahead of you, it’s worth noting that Camping Barataud also has a handy set of facilities. There are indoor and outdoor pools (both open during high season only), as well as a play area and a miniature golf course.

Local attractions
If your Oléron Island itinerary isn’t already close to bursting point, go on and pick out a few more splendid family activities to add to the end of a morning or afternoon.
The little train of Saint Trojan (40 minutes’ drive) will take you on a 12-kilometre trip around the island’s forests and beaches. Otherwise, explore off your own back by driving or cycling to villages with typical island architecture and views like La Brée-les-Bains (10 minutes), Saint-Pierre-d'Oléron (15 minutes), Le Château-d'Oléron (35 minutes) and Saint-Trojan-les-Bains (35 minutes).
Want a few clues to the island’s history and traditions first? Pay a visit to Museum Island of Oleron (15 minutes) or La Maison éco-paysanne (35 minutes). The latter is a museum with traditional architecture and a typical island farm with a house, barns and cellars which would have been used by locals until the 19th century.
Get your wildlife-watching fix at the Natural Reserve Moëze-Oléron (35 minutes) or scout out more sandy beaches in Boyardville (20 minutes) and Chaucre (five minutes).
