campsites near La Rochelle or South Vendee

[Greyandtiredbrain]

Hi, I'm looking to take my son camping this summer, in July.

I was thinking the south vendee or around La Rochelle somewhere but I don't know the area very well. Can anyone give me their recommendations of a campsite in the south vendee or near La Rochelle? Ideally somewhere that does tent or cabin rental, with a decent sized pool and kids club? It doesn't have to be on the beach but a sandy beach nearby would be great.

Also, are there any nice villages or towns worth a visit?

Thanks!

Les charmettes campsite is really really nice

Not sure if its the right are but we have stayed at Le Pin Parasol a few times and its a lovely site, great pool complex, good onsite kids club and very close to a lake, the beach was about 10km away and plenty of nearby towns with french markets to explore. I think Eurocamp and Al fresco still operate on the site

Have you checked out Canvas/Eurocamp sites they probably have a few sites around the area you are looking. Huttopia sites might do too, but these tend to be quieter and im not sure if they offer kids clubs or not but lovely settings

Pin parasol is quite a way from la Rochelle but the area is still lovely and there is quite a lot of good sites in the area so you'd probably find one to suit your needs. When we stayed we found the weather quite hit and miss but there was a indoor pool and always plenty to do regardless

Hi there i can recommend a truly fantastic eurocamp site in the vendee on the coast at st Jean De monts the site is called Clarys plage me wife and two young boys went last whitsun it's so good there's too much to say about it have a look on the internet we loved it so much we are going back this whitsun but we've booked with hello france 333 quid for 7 nights 3 bed mobile home it's a 400 mile drive from calais we had one overcast day it was hot and sunny the rest of the time

would just add a stunning clean sandy beach a 5 min walk away st Jean De monts is a classy little resort no crowds in whit week and normoutier is a lovely town that's acessesed by a lovely tall bridge that over looks sea salt farms
