Just returned from our fourth stay at this site; a brilliant holiday once again. We stayed in a static caravan, which was clean and tidy on arrival - table, chairs, sunbeds and bbq supplied. Despite having a shower in the caravan we used the shower blocks every night as they were clean with hot water and great pressure. Laundry facilities excellent, didn't queue once. Beautiful nearby beach - no problem parking. Onsite entertainment was very good with plenty of activities organised for kids during the day. Staff were very friendly, as were the locals. Only downside was the onsite shop, which was limited and quite expensive. But the hot food takeaway service was good. Hoping to return next year. Would highly recommend going with 'French Freedom'.

First experience of camping in a mobile home on the Vendée coast, and probably the last, as far as the Bahamas Beach is concerned.

No problem with the mobile home, spacious and well kept, nor with the reception, nor the availability of the couriers for Direct Vacances. The cycle tracks are brilliant.

However, we felt like calling the site the "Bruit hamas" Beach ["bruit" means "noise"]. It was impossible to sleep before 1am for 14 nights, of which I had to intervene twice personally around 3am. Groups of people rather overactive, which the night guards could not suppress. Also, vehicles were moving around at midnight, although the sign says that the barriers close at midnight??

In fact, the rules posted at the entrance are seldom applied.

Those used to campsites in the mountains or in the countryside for walking, sport and relaxation should avoid this site.

I spent one night at this campsite, and one night was enough to convince us that there are 4 stars that are not deserved. Continuous noise, the beach is a long way away and doesn’t even have lifeguards, small pool which is occupied when it opens by aquagym courses, toilet facilities that are clean in the morning, but cleaned only once a day, the shop is the least that you could imagine, breakfast in the bar was insipid.

In summary, I have known campsites with fewer stars, and hence cheaper, which are much better.

We just spent a week at this site in a chalet Alizé (in theory!). Our stay was pleasant, despite a few less than ideal details.

We should have been in this Alizé chalet, 35m2, but in fact it was a standard chalet of only 32m2 (written on the electric meter). It was apparently new, but full of problems, screws sticking out of the floor and the walls, etc.

The bedding provided was only suitable for one room, rather than two.

The cleaning had not been done before our arrival, dust and sand under the beds, and on the furniture, dirty windows…

My children are asthmatic, and allergic to dust!

Access to the beach is supposed to be 600m, and perfectly safe. In fact you have to follow a very busy cycle route, then a road where cars pass with difficulty because of others parked, and then it’s at least a km!

With young children, you’ll need to be vigilant, as this is not a safe route!
