Two-star campsite at a good price. Toilet blocks very clean, and mostly sufficient. Pitches are spacious, but a bit irregular, and mostly wooded. This year, they opened a good big pool, and a paddling pool. There is a large bar with terrace, which provides a few supplies (really very few). Bread and cakes available to order. Swing, roundabout, volleyball court, two small boules courts, and one concrete table tennis table. On exit from the campsite, the sea is about 100m away. There is a large sea-water pool with a promenade in wood (very pretty and clean) and just beyond it, the ocean. On the other hand, nothing but a snack bar/ice cream shop and a pizzeria. It’s a shame, because you have to take a vehicle, because the town of Marennes is a bit far, and even there, there’s not much (10 or so shops). Not much in the way of activities at the campsite: in two weeks, there was one boules tournament, one paella evening, one karaoke evening, and the election of a Miss and Mr Campsite. What’s more, the bar closes at 10pm when there’s nothing on, and that’s a bit early. There’s practically no one at the children’s club, and the teenagers are just about allowed a snooker competition and one of mini-football, which was then cancelled due to lack of participants. It’s a very peaceful campsite, with a majority of mobile homes, and the owners are friendly. In conclusion, I would say that it’s not a good place for teens and adults who want active holidays, but better for younger children and those who are looking for peace and the benefits of bathing close by. The campsite accepts animals, but they are completely forbidden on the beach. Very few foreigners, and a complement of campers of every social level. Which provides a very good friendly atmosphere. Small downer - no take-away, chippie etc on site, just a pizza van that comes Saturday evening.
