from 104 reviews Write review

In the southern part of the Vendée, towards the bordering Charente-Maritime region, you will find a former municipal campsite, now called Camping L’Ile Cariot. The campsite is only five minutes from the centre of Chaillé-les-Marais. The campsite resembles an island in the heart of the Marais Poitevin, the renowned marshland. You can go for endless walks, cycle rides or road trips.

This friendly family campsite has virtually only tourist pitches. These are nice and spacious pitches on which you can easily park your car and caravan, or even a large motorhome.

Never too young to learn

In low season you will mainly find seniors of all nationalities, whereas in high season there are many families with young children. The campsite is mostly geared towards this target group, although the activities on and around the campsite are fun for children of all ages. Enjoy fishing in one of the creeks or play a game of pétanque. You are never too young to learn; this applies here, too.

Grilled chicken

In the shop you can buy lovely regional products; fresh bread has to be ordered a day in advance. On Sundays you can buy grilled chicken for lunch. Bon appetit!

Jewellery making and archery

There is a small heated swimming pool. In peak season you can design and make your own jewellery. Fun for both children and parents. On Fridays you can take archery lessons. Tennis enthusiasts take note: at a distance of some 100 m from the campsite you will find a tennis court which you can freely use. Great 'service'!

Travelling party: Young couple

Liked - Friendly- good size pitch- rural
Disliked - Was looking forward to a swim in the pool, but it was quite smaller than we thought and heaving with people so not very inviting.

Liked - Peaceful and quiet. Welcomed by manager when we arrived early and allowed to choose a pitch and set up.
We were out of season and the pool was therefore quiet and a great facility. Lots of cycling round and about.
Particular mention has to be made to the sanitary facilities which were great and the cleanest we had come across! Witnessed them being cleaned several times a day! Lovely site, will return.
Disliked - No

This is a very small campsite, but one of the very best. The pitches are well laid out, Valerie at reception is so helpful and couldn\'t do enough for us. The toilets and shower block are absolutely spotless with great showers. We stayed for 9 nights and will definitely be back.

Travelling party: Family with children, 4 – 12 years

Liked - We liked almost everything. Everyone was friendly, the site was immaculate and we would certainly return.
Disliked - Rather frustratingly, the water temperature in the showers tended to be variable.
