Camping holidays in Vendee, France
Vendee
is one of the most popular destinations for a camping holiday
in France.
The region is easy to get to - it is found on the Atlantic coast south of Brittany and north of Poitou-Charentes - and has many miles of long sandy beaches, many that gently slope into the sea and are perfect for children.
Due to its unique microclimate the Vendee gets almost as many hours of sunshine each year as the Cote d'Azur.
VENDEE CAMPSITES - NORTH TO SOUTH
St Jean-de-Monts and the northern Vendee coast
There is a selection of campsites in and around this popular location. All the Vendee campsites listed are available through KeyCamp Camping Holidays or Siblu camping - click on the site name for full details.
- La Yole is in a woodland seting perfect for families and children at 2 km from a beach; the modern site and impressive pool complex at Le Clarys Plage is just 10 minute walk from the beach; the campsite at Les Genets is a stroll from the beach and popular with teenagers and older children; Zagarelle is close to a very good beach, and has an on-site gymnasium as well as pools etc
Siblu have two campsites here, one action packed at Le Bois Masson and the other peaceful and calm at Le Bois Dormant. Le Bois Masson is closer to the beach and has all the lively atmosphere you could hope for, while Le Bois Dormant is set in attractive grounds and still only 1.5km from the beaches. One possible option - stay at Le Bois Dormant and you can still use all the facilities at Le Bois Masson, perhaps the best of both worlds!
