Summary created out of 192 reviews
The location amidst the salt marshes and proximity to cycling routes are frequently appreciated. Staff receive both compliments for friendliness and criticism regarding competence and availability. The pool is spacious and clean, though supervision and hygiene occasionally fall short. Animation is praised by some as dynamic and child-friendly, while others find the offering limited outside the peak season.

We had already stayed here three years ago in a cabin on stilts. It was already in terrible shape and infested with ants—so much so that there was food under the furniture and under the sink and fridge—but we wanted to give it a second chance. The welcome when we arrived to pick up the keys was a bit cold, and unfortunately, our spot wasn’t ideal. … Located right on a curve, with cars coming from both directions—some head-on and others pulling over to the side to navigate the turn—we were constantly exposed to the nonstop traffic of vehicles and bicycles right in front of our bungalow, which made eating outside truly unpleasant.
Upon entering the accommodation, we got the impression that the bungalow had just been vacated without any prior cleaning. Cleanliness was clearly lacking: there were cobwebs, crumbs, and numerous dead flies and other squashed insects on the interior walls, both on the kitchen ceiling and the bedroom ceiling. When we unpacked the towels—which weren’t clean either—and the sheets (even though they were in sealed packaging), we discovered shoe prints, large grease stains, and bloodstains. In the bedroom, the light fixture wasn’t even attached to the ceiling anymore; it was dangling in midair. The curtains, when pulled down from the outside, were covered in mold stains
As for the bathroom, the shower was truly appalling: the bottom of the shower wall (the seal) was completely yellowed, with pubic hair and other strands of hair still stuck to it, and the faucets were covered in limescale that felt very unpleasant to the touch. The exterior wasn’t much better, with trash piled up behind the mobile home, a very dirty outdoor dining table, and green spaces that could use some maintenance (the plants—such as yuccas, banana trees, and hedges—looked a bit neglected). Inside, the dishes were also dirty (some teaspoons still had Nutella stuck to them), which forced us to wash everything again, including the toilets, before we could use them.
As for food, the snack bar offers very little variety (only pizza and fries) and requires payment in cash (no credit cards). The pizzas were decent without being extraordinary, but the fries were really not great.
Overall, the staff we encountered were generally friendly and said hello, but with so many young employees, it felt like there was a lack of accountability and supervision. In fact, when we checked out, the bungalow was barely inspected: the staff member just picked up the linens and did a quick walk-through without looking closely, which probably explains why we found it in that condition upon arrival. A manager who’s a bit more present to check on things, reinforce the rules, and oversee general maintenance would be essential.
It’s a shame, because the campground is in a great location. As for us, the four of us thoroughly cleaned the bungalow, doing far more than had been done before we arrived. I’m not saying I won’t come back, but I really hope there will be significant improvements for the comfort of future vacationers.this is a translation, click here for the original
Nous étions déjà venus il y a 3 ans dans une cabane sur pilotis. Il était déjà dans un état lamentable infesté de fourmis, tellement qu'il y avait de nourriture sous les meubles et sous le lavabo frigo nous avons voulu laisser une seconde chance .Notre arrivée a été un peu froide pour la remise des clés, et notre emplacement n'était malheureusement pas idéal. Situés exactement dans un virage, avec à la fois des voitures arrivant de face et d'autres venant sur le côté pour négocier le tournant, nous étions constamment exposés au passage incessant des véhicules et des vélos juste devant notre bungalow, ce qui rendait les repas à l'extérieur vraiment peu agréables.
En entrant dans le logement, nous avons eu l'impression que le bungalow venait tout juste d'être quitté sans aucun ménage préalable. La propreté laissait clairement à désirer : présence de toiles d'araignées, de miettes, ainsi que de nombreuses mouches mortes et autres bestioles écrasées sur les parois intérieures, que ce soit au plafond de la cuisine ou de la chambre. En déballant les serviettes — qui n'étaient pas propres non plus — et les draps (pourtant dans un emballage fermé), nous avons découvert des traces de chaussures, de grosses auréoles de graisse ainsi que des tâches de sang. Dans la chambre, la lumière n'était même plus au plafond, elle pendouillait dans le vide les rideaux quand on est baissé de l'extérieur, il y avait plein de taches de moisissures
Côté sanitaires, la douche était vraiment à déplorer : le bas de la paroi (le joint d'étanchéité) était complètement jauni, encore avec des poils pubiens des cheveux collés et la robinetterie était remplie d'un calcaire très désagréable au toucher. L'extérieur n'était guère mieux avec des déchets accumulés derrière le mobil-home, une table de salon de jardin très sale et des espaces verts qui mériteraient d'être entretenus (les plantes, comme les yuccas, les bananiers ou les haies, font un peu abandonnées). À l'intérieur, la vaisselle était également sale (certaines petites cuillères avaient encore du Nutella collé dessus), ce qui nous a obligé à tout relaver, de même que les toilettes avant de pouvoir les utiliser.
Du côté de la restauration, le snack propose très peu de choix (uniquement des pizzas et des frites) avec une obligation de payer en espèces (pas de carte bancaire). Les pizzas étaient correctes sans être extraordinaires, mais les frites étaient vraiment pas terribles.
Globalement, le personnel que l'on croise est plutôt gentil et dit bonjour, mais avec beaucoup de jeunes, on sent que cela manque de responsabilité et de supervision. D'ailleurs, lors de notre départ, le bungalow a été à peine vérifié : la personne a juste ramassé le linge et fait un tour rapide sans regarder en profondeur, ce qui explique sans doute pourquoi nous l'avons trouvé dans cet état à notre arrivée. Un responsable un peu plus présent pour vérifier tout cela, redonner des consignes et veiller à l'entretien général serait indispensable.
C'est dommage, car le camping bénéficie d'un bon emplacement géographique. Pour notre part, nous étions quatre à nettoyer à fond le bungalow, faisant largement plus que ce qui avait été fait avant nous. Je ne dis pas que je ne reviendrai pas, mais j'espère vraiment qu'il y aura de nettes améliorations pour le confort des futurs vacanciers. -

The campground is in a great location in the Île de Ré area—it’s quiet. The mobile homes are very nice, and we were in the pedestrian-only area, which, honestly, isn’t bad. On the other hand, there was very little dishware inside (not enough); upon our arrival, the griddle on the patio was dirty, the staff was practically nonexistent and not very … friendly—especially at the front desk—and there were no activities on the campground. But overall, we had a great vacation—it’s a beautiful region. I’ll end on a positive note, though: the campground isn’t bad after all.

Le camping est très bien situé secteur de l île de ré calme. Les mobil home sont très bien, et nous étions dans le secteur piétonnier, et franchement c'est pas mal. par contre la vaisselle à l intérieur est très réduite, (pas assez) à notre arrivée la plancha sur la terrasse était sale, personnel quasi inexistant, et peu souriant surtout à l accueil, aucune activité dans le camping. Mais dans l ensemble nous avons passé de très bonnes vacances région magnifique. Je finirais quand même sur une note positive, le camping est pas mal quand même.

The cleanliness of the shower and restroom areas needs improvement. The dishwashing area is disgusting—full of bugs and very dirty—and needs improvement. In short, I was very disappointed with the overall cleanliness. This needs to be addressed by 2027.

A revoir, la propreté de l'espace douche, toilette. A revoir l'espace vaisselle dégoûtant, plein de bêtes, très sale. Bref , très déçu de la propreté en général. A revoir pour l'année 2027.

Comfortable mobile home with very comfortable beds; everything you need is there—it just could use a few more sets of cutlery and a little more space around it.this is a translation, click here for the original
Camping à taille humaine, très bien situé, permettant de visiter l'île du nord au sud sans faire trop de route.
Mobil home confortable avec une très bonne literie, tout le nécessaire est présent, manque juste un peu plus de couverts et d'espace autour. -
