From the port of Saint-Martin-de-Ré, just 13 km from the campsite, various guided tours depart along the Charente-Maritime coast.

The La Rochelle Aquarium is a fantastic outing for camping guests who want to discover something special.

It’s an educational and fun experience for the whole family, perfect for a day away from the campsite. In addition, the aquarium is close to the charming old center of La Rochelle, where you can enjoy a lovely stroll or a delicious meal after your visit.

Vineyards & Weekly Markets

The vineyards surrounding Île de Ré and the Charente-Maritime mainland are not far from the campsite. This region is known for its delicious wines, including the famous Cognac and Pineau des Charentes. Visiting local wineries is a wonderful way to learn more about the production and to enjoy tastings. In addition, the weekly markets in villages like Loix (Saturday), Saint-Martin-de-Ré (Wednesday and Saturday), and Ars-en-Ré (Thursday) are a must. Here you will find fresh local products, crafts, and a lively atmosphere. For campsite guests, it’s the perfect opportunity to experience the local culture and enrich your holiday with fresh ingredients.

Summary created out of 158 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.

    A pleasant stay at a quiet campground with all amenities on-site, except for the phone service and Wi-Fi, which are both poor.
    The campground manager and facilities are top-notch.

    We’ve been guests at Camping Les Ilates (Flower Campings) for over 20 years. We look forward to returning there every year to see our friends and enjoy the campground’s atmosphere. This loyalty makes our disappointment all the greater this year.

    Upon arrival, we were told there was no availability. The next day, a solution was finally offered to us for 10 days, but with eight scheduled site changes. We accepted despite this complicated arrangement.

    After a few changes, I noticed that plot #225 seemed to be available. I asked the front desk to check. After reviewing the system, it turned out there had indeed been an error and that this plot could be assigned. If I hadn’t checked, it would likely have remained empty for several days.

    What’s most disappointing is that after this incident—after more than 20 years of loyalty, and despite all the customers we’ve referred over the years—we haven’t received any gesture of goodwill or special consideration from management. No gesture from the manager, no recognition for customers who have been loyal for so long.

    With rates that can reach nearly €100 per night for a campsite, we expect a minimum of consideration and an organization that lives up to expectations.

    We love this campground and its atmosphere, but this year we’re leaving with a real sense of disappointment and regret that the loyalty of long-time guests no longer seems to be a priority.

    Nous sommes clients du Camping Les Ilates (Flower Campings) depuis plus de 20 ans. Nous y revenons chaque année avec plaisir pour retrouver nos amis et l’ambiance du camping. Cette fidélité rend notre déception d’autant plus grande cette année.

    À notre arrivée, on nous a indiqué qu’il n’y avait aucune disponibilité. Le lendemain, une solution nous a finalement été proposée pour 10 jours, mais avec huit changements d’emplacement prévus. Nous avons accepté malgré cette organisation compliquée.

    Après quelques changements, j’ai remarqué que la parcelle n°225 semblait libre. J’ai demandé une vérification auprès de l’accueil. Après contrôle du logiciel, il s’est avéré qu’il y avait effectivement une erreur et que cette parcelle pouvait être attribuée. Sans ma démarche, elle serait probablement restée vide plusieurs jours.

    Ce qui est le plus décevant, c’est qu’après cette situation, après plus de 20 ans de fidélité, et malgré tous les clients que nous avons pu recommander au fil des années, nous n’avons reçu aucun geste commercial ni aucune attention particulière de la part de la direction. Aucun geste du directeur, aucune reconnaissance pour des clients pourtant fidèles depuis si longtemps.

    Avec des tarifs qui peuvent atteindre près de 100 € la nuit pour un emplacement, nous attendons un minimum de considération et une organisation à la hauteur.

    Nous aimons ce camping et son ambiance, mais cette année nous repartons avec un réel sentiment de déception et le regret de voir que la fidélité des anciens clients ne semble plus être une priorité.

    A beautiful campground, but the information about the beach being “750m away” is way off. It’s actually more than 1 km away along a trail that’s impassable for small children because of the brambles and prickly plants. And what a disappointment when we got there! A muddy beach where swimming is impossible because there’s no water!!!!
    Another downside: there’s supposedly a compost bin on the campground, but no one on staff could show it to me, despite my requests. So I was forced to empty my compost bin into my household trash.
    Furthermore, there were no cleaning supplies in the mobile home—not even a sponge. All that was provided was a broom and a mop. Luckily, I’m a forward-thinker and didn’t rely on my previous experiences, where I’d found a spare bottle of dish soap, detergent, a sponge, and trash bags upon arrival.
    On the plus side, the campground is clean and quiet, well-equipped, and on a human scale. Ideal for a family vacation.

    Un beau camping mais des informations largement erronées sur la plage "à 750m". Plus d’1km sur un sentier impraticable par des petits à cause des ronces et des plantes épineuses. Et quelle déception en arrivant! Plage de vase et baignade impossible car pas d’eau !!!!
    Autre point négatif : il existe soi-disant un bac à compost dans le camping que personne parmi l'équipe n’a pu me montrer, malgré mes demandes. Donc je fus dans l'obligation de vider mon bac de compost dans mes ordures ménagères.
    De plus, aucun kit de ménage dans le mobil home, pas même une éponge. On n’y trouve qu’un balai et une serpillière. Heureusement que je suis prévoyante et ne me suis pas basée sur mes précédentes expériences où je trouvais en arrivant flacon de liquide vaisselle d’appoint, détergent, éponge et sac poubelle.
    Quant aux points positifs, le camping est propre et calme, bien équipé et à taille humaine. Idéal pour un séjour en famille.

    The evening activities leave something to be desired. The mobile home was a mess. They should set up a separate area for guests who want to enjoy the evening instead of complete silence. They accepted vacation checks at the restaurant, grocery store, and bar. Other than that, it was fine.

    Activité le soir laisse a désirer. Mobilhome le ménage nul. Il devrait aménager un coin mobilhome pour des vacanciers qui aime profiter le soir au lieu du silence complet. Accepté les chèque vacances au restaurant et épicerie et barr. Sinon ça va.
