The La Forêt campsite and caravan site is a small-scale family campsite in a convenient location in the Vendée. A beautiful forest path of four hundred meters separates the campsite from a wide sandy beach. This campsite has a peaceful atmosphere. Furthermore, this campsite has a wide variety of trees and plants, a modern heated swimming pool with jacuzzi, a luxury sanitary building and neat camping pitches.

Fine camping

When you walk or drive to your pitch, you soon notice that this is a small-scale campsite with a friendly atmosphere. The grounds are beautifully landscaped and there is a wide variety of trees and shrubs. The pitches are well maintained and separated from each other by hedges and trees, which is a nice way to achieve some privacy.

Ideal for those seeking peace and quiet

Thanks to its natural and small-scale character, this campsite is ideal for people seeking peace and quiet. They tend to come in the off-season. In July and August, families with (young) children know exactly where to find this campsite. Nevertheless, the relaxed atmosphere is maintained, partly due to the campsite's quiet-time rule between 11 pm and 8 am.

Modern swimming pool with jacuzzi

In 2020, a new, heated swimming pool was constructed at the campsite. This is a nice pool in a mostly sunny spot, though there are also shady spots. The showpiece of the pool area is the Jacuzzi. In addition, at the campsite, you will find a small playground, recreation room, bowling alley and table tennis table.

Where can you get food?

La Forêt offers fresh bread and some groceries. In the high season, you can also buy some take-away food. Want to get a bit more shopping done? Then it's best to head off to the supermarkets in Notre-Dame-de-Monts (1.5 km).

Campsite accepts ACSI Club ID

Travelling party: Family with children, 4 – 12 years

Liked - On a passé une semaine de rêves chez Camping La Forêt. Les enfants ont beaucoup apprécié la piscine et la forêt juste en face qui mène à une plage superbe. Le mobile home était immaculé et bien équipé. Le site était calme et bien maintenu, et les propriétaires et tous les employés souriants nous ont fait nous sentir très à l’aise. On a apprécié la salle à jeux, le bar-snack et le service boulangerie. On espère revenir l’année prochaine!
Disliked - Le SEULE chose serait que la température de l’eau à la douche était difficile à régler. C’est tout. On a adoré notre visite!
