    Excellent friendly campsite in the quieter end of the Ile de Re. Very close to the sea - note the beach is sandy at the top but rocky lower down at low tide. The site is sandy with some small trees/shrubs to provide a bit of shelter from the sea breeze but limited shade. We enjoyed the sounds of the sea on what was a very peaceful site. Pitches are well separated and ours had electricity and a picnic table. Toilet, shower and washing up facilities are good and very clean. A small bar at the back of reception sells good beer/wine at usual, ie expensive, Ile de Re prices. Pizzas were excellent but our order had been lost so wasn't made until we chased it up, staff apologised and gave us free drinks in compensation. Ars-en-Re is a reasonable walk, but only 10 minutes on bikes. Great location for exploring the top end of the island including the Phare des Baleines, Portes-en-Re and Loix.

    An affordable campground in a great location on Île de Ré. It’s extremely secluded and very quiet—not a sound to be heard. For those looking for peace and quiet, it’s perfect.

    We arrived very early, but they still let us in. The lady at the front desk was friendly and explained everything clearly. She suggested a few different sites and told us to walk over and check them out. So off we went in the sweltering heat to find a spot with a little shade.

    It might have been nice if they offered bike rentals or some other form of transportation, because in this heat, it was really tough.

    It’s also worth noting that there are very few shaded areas.
    The campsites have a lot of sand, so be careful not to get stuck.

    The restrooms are clean, but there are a lot of bugs (good luck to those with arachnophobia!).

    There’s a beach 50 meters away if you’re near the campground entrance. Otherwise, you’ll have to walk all the way across the campground. A quick tip: bring your bikes—there’s a bike rack right next to the beach. Bike rentals are available on-site, but I find them extremely expensive: €33 a day for an electric bike. In the end, that’s almost more expensive than the price of a campsite with electricity.

    In short, I don’t particularly recommend this campground, except for those who are primarily looking for peace and quiet and a stay surrounded by nature. For a simple overnight stopover, it’s perfectly acceptable.

    Camping peu cher et bien placé sur l'Île de Ré. Il est extrêmement isolé et très calme : pas un bruit. Pour ceux qui recherchent la tranquillité, c'est parfait.

    Nous sommes arrivés très tôt, mais nous avons quand même pu entrer. La dame à l'accueil était sympathique et nous a tout bien expliqué. Elle nous a proposé différentes parcelles en nous disant d'aller les voir à pied. Nous voilà donc partis sous une canicule pour trouver un emplacement avec un peu d'ombre.

    Peut-être que prêter des vélos ou un autre moyen de transport aurait été appréciable, car avec cette chaleur, c'était vraiment compliqué.

    On notera aussi qu'il y a très peu de coins ombragés.
    Les emplacements contiennent beaucoup de sable, donc attention à ne pas s'enliser.

    Les sanitaires sont propres, mais il y a énormément d'insectes (bon courage aux arachnophobes !).

    Une plage se trouve à 50 mètres si vous êtes près de l'entrée du camping. Sinon, il faudra le traverser entièrement. Petit conseil : prenez vos vélos, il y a un parking à vélos juste à côté de la plage. Des locations de vélos sont proposées sur place, mais je les trouve extrêmement chères : 33 € la journée pour un vélo électrique. Au final, c'est presque plus cher que le prix de l'emplacement avec l'électricité.

    Bref, je ne recommande pas spécialement ce camping, sauf pour ceux qui recherchent avant tout le calme et un séjour en pleine nature. Pour une simple nuit d'étape, c'est tout à fait passable

    A great place—we'd definitely come back anytime! We stayed there for 10 days and really enjoyed our time there. The location right on the beach and the proximity to the town of Ars-en-Ré can't be beat. We'll definitely be back!
