Chez Sophie au Camping Le Bois Masson

Well-equipped caravans, lots of activities and a beach just down the road… it’s all rather well set up for a family holiday at Chez Sophie au Camping Le Bois Masson, on the edge of Saint-Jean-de-Monts and about five minutes’ drive from the resort’s centre, beach and attractions.

This seaside town is well known for its splendid sandy beach and its excellent list of activities, including watersports, horse riding, fishing, miniature golf and the heavenly waters of Thermes Marins thalassotherapy centre. There are bike paths galore too, and great swathes of forest and sand dune to explore – plus plenty of places to eat out in town.

And there’s much activity on site too: for starters, this site has its own aqua park (with indoor and outdoor heated pools, a paddling pool and several slides) and runs entertainment through high season. And, for the frazzled grownups among you, there’s also the chance to take some proper chillout time at the wellness area, which has a sauna, a hammam, a Jacuzzi and various treatments.

If that little lot isn’t quite enough to keep you occupied, you’ll be pleased to hear there’s yet more on offer at a sister site, which you’ll have access to during your stay (some at an extra charge). And that means more swimming pools, more entertainment, three kids’ clubs, play areas, a tennis court, fitness classes including aquagym, a video games room, a fitness room… and rather handily also a pizzeria, restaurant and creperie/ice cream parlour to keep you well fed.
