On the French Atlantic coast, less than one hour from Nantes, is the de L’Hermitage du Dunes campsite located right by the sea. From the bar, the restaurant, and some of the camping pitches you have a breath-taking view over the ocean, which has very strong tides here. Local tip: gather your own seafood by ‘foot fishing’ on the beach.

View of the sea

When you find your pitch, you will immediately notice how nice and quiet the atmosphere on the campsite is. The pitches are spacious, and some have views of the sea. The campsite also rents out a number of mobile homes. In the summer, you will find many French families with children. In the low season, it is a popular place for rest seekers from all over the world. The plumbing was refurbished in 2019.

Swimming and foot fishing

Do you like swimming? Thanks to the heated and covered pool, you can enjoy the water starting in April. The little ones can splash and play in the paddling pool. And, of course, you can enjoy the beach and the sea. The beach is only 50 metres from the campsite. You can walk there through the gate of the campsite.

Depending on whether it is low or high tide, the beach varies considerably in size. You can sunbathe and swim or walk and bike. Foot fishing is also a popular activity here. That means you can collect your own shells and seafood while you’re hiking and then prepare a fresh meal at the campsite! Because of the many sharp shells, water shoes are recommended for the little ones.

Liked - Perfect place for our tent. On 1 min walk from the beautiful ocean beach.. perfect surf spot. Loss s of things to do at the camping and around in town. Dog friendly camping. Everything was clean and well maintained. Friendly maintenance staff. 10A power. Perfect and clean shower and toilets.
Disliked - Not every night a good rest. During the late evening hours loud music played. We payed for two weeks, but moved out after 6 days. Receptionists did not (want to) understand our concern. We know afterwards that we are not the only ones. We moved further south to a camping at Biarritz. Here we met others also coming from the same camping St. Martin.

Liked - Accessibility to the beach. Friendly welcome. Easy to walk into the village for a drink and a meal. Traditional, small village with cafes/bars/restaurants on a pretty place by the church.
Great cycling routes all well signed and easy to follow.
Mobile home was very clean and had kitchen equipment for a limited amount of cooking.
Disliked - Provide tea towels, washing up liquid, dish cloths and a spare loo roll. Fortunately we had been camping so had these things with us.

Liked - Pitch was in trees so my solar wouldn’t work. Electric hook up was old 2 pin and wouldn’t work even though all around were 3 pin that would have been ok. Left after 1 night as we told reception but they didn’t help. There were other pitches empty that would have been better for us. I think we were placed on a tent pitch.
