We know this campsite well, and it's very pleasant.

Really close to the sea with a very nice beach.

Staff very welcoming.

Good entertainment.

Nice staff in the shop.

Only complaint: the pool is too small for the size of the site.

Nice children's entertainer.

One more complaint: you have to arrive on a Saturday, and I work at the weekend, so I always lose two days, plus the day of arrival and setting up.

Heated toilet block.

We have stayed twice at this campsite (2008/2009) and always with great pleasure. The pitches are large, the bar is lovely, the entertainment better than in most campsites, and we found the staff very pleasant. We're going back again this year, after a break last year to go to another 4-star site in the Vendée, but considerably poorer and where the staff were not very pleasant, and the entertainment non-existent.

  Remember that people are always more prepared to write and complain than they are to praise good service.  
 

My parents have owned a mobile home here for 17 years. At the start, the atmosphere was very friendly, and the staff also. Unfortunately, this is no longer the case: the atmosphere has certainly changed over the years. My parents have bought a new mobile home this year, and we hesitated to change site. The mentality of the site has changed for the worse. Now it's all about making a profit, which is understandable, but not with these conditions – you have to pay extra for your invited guests, which I find shameful. On site, there is a shop and a pizzeria, but if they were open, it would be even better!

To sum up, I don't think this site deserves its 4 stars.

We also hired a mobile home here in August 2009, but we'll not be returning. Here, the welcome is not at all friendly, except perhaps for the English. In the parc La Foret, the places for cars are very narrow, and there's always the risk of damage. As for access to the pool, you have to slalom between the cars on the main road, despite a tunnel which is very little used. Beware also of the sell-by dates in the stock in the little shop, which are not always respected. If you like a drink in the bar in the evening, I hope you are patient! Being well used to camping, I reckon the 4th star here is not deserved.

We first visited this campsite in 2011. We had booked a specific pitch and were extremely disappointed when we discovered that the previous occupants had not vacated the pitch as arranged with reception. The staff, however, moved heaven and earth to ensure that we had a fantastic holiday. We found the site staff to be extremely helpful and courteous, the shop to be well stocked with a wide variety of items - food and leisure, toys and beach games. We were so impressed that we will be returning in 2012 and have already finalised our arrangements with this excellent site
