A camping holiday in the Vendée is a popular option for many. Any one of the
many excellent campsites will be busy with British, French and Dutch holiday makers,
with a smattering of people from other countries, all enjoying what this coastal
region of Western France has to offer.
The obvious attraction is the long wide beaches of white sand where the Atlantic
rolls in, creating some great surf on some beaches, but still with plenty of beaches
where swimming is safe for everyone. Behind the beaches the sand dunes offer endless
fun.
Kids love this part of France, where the resorts such as Les Sables d'Olonne,
Saint-Jean-de-Monts and St-Gilles-Croix-de-Vie are very child friendly, with restaurants,
pizzerias and burger bars serving everything form budget grub to quality cuisine.
The campsites are all along the coast, many with direct beach access. Some are
very large with every possible amenity, swimming pool complexes, kids clubs, discos
and activities of all sorts, while others are quieter and geared more towards the
older family or couple. Click the links above to find out which ones offer your
perfect camping holiday.
La Vendée is not just about the coast, however. The turbulent history of the
region is spectacularly re-staged during summer evenings at Le Puy du Fou show near
Cholet. Inland from the coast are the atmospheric marshlands of the Marais Poitevin,
home to a variety of birds and best explored by flat-bottomed boat. Just off the
mainland, in the North of the Vendée lies the Ile de Noirmoutier, great for cycling
around.
Most people come for a camping holiday in The Vendee by car. Your choice of ferry
crossing will probably be determined by where you live, as even from Calais it's
only about a 6 and a half hour drive, (excluding stops), less than 4 hours
from Caen and 3 from St Malo. Check out our
