We spent a week with our family at this campsite located in a peaceful setting among the pines ... very relaxing ... heated swimming pool, bar, games, very clean mobile home ... very modern and functional ... if you're missing something, there's everything you need at the campsite grocery store ...! The beach is a 20-minute walk away... a pleasant little forest path to cross... Nice bike ride to Sables d'Olonne... through the Olonne marshes and forest... a change of scenery... Very lucky to have had good weather in April...not many people...👍 And I'll finish with the welcome and kindness of the owners... They are very attentive and available to customers... We recommend this campsite..and we'll be back with great pleasure... Les Tourangeaux

We've just returned from a stay at this campsite, ideally located among the pines and very quiet. Our mobile home was very good, the managers and the maintenance man (long hair) were very kind and accommodating. We had a problem with the seal on our fridge when we arrived, but it was changed within the hour. The bar is pleasant, with a big plus for the board games available (ideal with a 4-year-old)! The indoor pool is fine, only the Jacuzzi liner needs changing. The pizzas are very good, and so are the beers. The grocer's corner is great to tide you over if need be. We can feel that the managers are going out of their way to satisfy their customers' needs, and that's the main thing. The campsite is located 1 hour from Noirmoutier, 1 hour from the puy du fou, and there are lots of nice markets in the area. Thank you for a great stay!

Nous revenons d’un séjour dans ce camping, idéalement situé aux milieux des pins et très calme. Notre mobile home était très bien, les gérants ainsi que le Mr de l’entretien (cheveux long) étaient très gentils et arrangeant. Nous avons eu un soucis avec le joint de notre frigo à notre arrivée, celui-ci a été changé dans l’heure. Le bar est agréable, gros ++ pour les jeux de société à disposition (idéal avec une enfant de 4 ans) ! La piscine couverte est bien, seul le Liner du jacuzzi mériterait d’être changé. Les pizzas sont très bonnes, et les bières disponibles aussi. Le coin épicerie est top pour dépanner si besoin. Nous sentons que les gérants se donnent du mal pour satisfaire les besoins clients et c’est la l’essentiel. Le camping est situé à 1h de Noirmoutier, 1h du puy du fou, et beaucoup de marchés aux alentours très sympa. Merci pour ce séjour !
