Summary created out of 68 reviews

Park 1007 is beautifully situated in a forested area with shaded spots among the pine trees, within walking distance of the beach via a scenic forest path. Guests particularly appreciate the friendly and helpful staff who are attentive and welcoming. The heated swimming pool with jacuzzi is a major highlight, as is the peaceful and relaxed atmosphere the park offers. However, some guests find the silence rules quite strict, and the sanitary facilities are described as outdated and not always clean.

    We were disappointed.
    I think it’s important to know what to expect.
    There weren’t many activities offered. The pool is small for the number of guests, and the rule requiring men to wear swimsuits is rarely enforced.

    Be careful with the estimated time to get to the beach: it took us over 25 minutes. So we didn’t try going again.

    However, the mobile home is modern. And the staff are friendly.

    Nous avons été déçus.
    Je pense que c’est important de savoir à quoi s’attendre.
    Peu d’animations proposées.la piscine est petite pour le nombre d’occupants et la règle du maillot de bain pour les hommes est loin d’être respectée.

    Attention au temps indiqué pr se rendre à la plage : nous avons mis plus de 25’. Nous n’avons donc pas retenté l’expérience.

    Cependant le mobilhome est moderne. Et les équipes sympathiques.

    I don't particularly like what you're doing; what you're doing is unacceptable. My family and I have had cockroaches in our bedrooms.

    Shaded and sometimes narrow sites. The Juen campground is well-located for exploring the surrounding area: Les Sables-d'Olonne, Brem-sur-Mer, and St-Gilles-Croix-de-Vie. However, the beach is quite far—a 30-minute walk.
