1 category for foreigners, good pitches.

2 category for the French, pathetic pitches.

Toilet blocks more of the standard of a 4-star, dirty, mouldy porcelain.

Facilities for washing up were repugnant with old dirt.

Campsite to be avoided at all costs.

Just found this review site while booking this years holiday at Bonne Anse Chalets. This will be our 3rd year in a row and we are all looking forward to it, there is enough on the site for us all to enjoy.

Upon arrival we were shown around and everything explained about the mobile we stayed in, and then if we had any problems/questions throughout our stay we always got a friendly and quick response.

The kids (aged 8, 9, 17 and 20 yrs) love the site, the football pitch is favourite followed closely by the pool, both are popular but never over crowded and a great way for the kids to make friends.

The entertainment was better some nights than others, the foam party was the best night of the holiday, great fun had by us all,and finished at 11.00pm which is reasonable for a family site and the bar closed an hour later.

Due to the pound not being worth much against the euro we only ate on the site once and it was good quality and value but the rest of the time we self catered,including a lot of use of the available barbeque.

The weather was great, apart from the storm on the morning we left, and we are all looking forward to going back again this year .

Visited this site in August this year with two children aged 12 and 8. Had a fantastic time. Pool complex was excellent, good choice of slides for the kids but had to get to pool for 10am when it opened to get a sunbed. Beach at rear of site was a marsh, picturesque and ok for fishing but not suitable for a day out. However, plenty of excellent beaches nearby.

Good supermarket, butchery and fishmonger on site, a little pricey though, as were the bar prices but that was kind of to be expected. The drinks prices were not a problem as we only went at the end of the night for a couple.

Entertainment enjoyed by the children but nothing special.

Brilliant cycle path at rear of site connecting you to nearby beaches. Definitely take your bikes if you can. Kids did, but we didn't and bicycle hire is quite expensive.

Definitely visit La Rochelle if you can, which is beautiful. Kids enjoyed the aquarium as well which was brilliantly laid out. Zoo in la Palmyre is also worth a visit. My only concern was that some of the enclosures were a little on the small side. But plenty of opportunity to get up close and feed a lot of the animals.

We had no problems with noise. We were in a caravan in the corner of the site. May be a different story if you were in a tent. Noticed a few older teenagers heading off to rear of site with booze late at night. But personally, didn't encounter any problems.

All in all, a good holiday. Would definitely return.

Travelled with 3 boys aged 15, 13 and 9 at end of June 2010. They had a brilliant holiday and as a result so did my husband and myself. The boys made loads of friends, loved the sports pitch, the pool, the water slides and the bikes. They even loved the entertainment which to be honest wasn't great. It felt really safe.

Negatives: sports pitch closed at 10pm in June, pool closed at 6pm in June, wine in bar though cheap was awful, also they used their hands to put ice cubes into drinks glasses (yeuch!).

We have already booked to return at same time next year.

Well had a totally fantastic time. 12 in our party from 4 - 14. All had things to do.

Was annoyed at the strict pool opening and closing times. However, despite that a great location.

The near by beaches and town are great, would be there tomorrow.

BTW the evening entertainment was great fun!!!!
