from 69 reviews Write review

Saint-Jean-de-Monts is a beach resort in de Vendée, located in the Pays de la Loire, on the Atlantic Coast. Saint-Jean-de-Monts was already discovered as a beach resort in 1867 and its popularity has only increased since then. Camping Le Bois Joly is not directly located at the coast, but is separated from it by a forest. However, it is only a 1300 m walk to the wide beach and the attractive promenade. The centre of the town is also no further than a ten minute walk.

Water fun!

The campsite is clearly geared towards families with children, but teenagers also enjoy themselves in the outdoor pools with slides. The regular outdoor pool has a slide. In addition, there is a white water ride with a very high and slightly longer slide. The more senior guests mostly make use of the indoor swimming pool. The swimming pools are located at the front of the campsite with adjacent the restaurant (bar) and a terrace. Beach lovers get their money's worth as well, as it is only a 10 minute walk before you feel the sand between your toes. The area is excellent for long cycling trips.

Entertainment for all

The campsite has an extensive entertainment programme for small children and teenagers. In peak season they even have an entertainment programme for adults.

There is no shop on the campsite, but this hardly matters; the village is within walking distance. The campsite restaurant serves pizzas, hamburgers and other small fare. Take-away meals are also available. The small town offers ample alternatives with a wide choice of restaurants.

Travelling party: Young couple

Liked - Sadly not a great deal . Could never get a seat round pool , anytime of the day due to towels being left for hrs and no people !
Children - teenagers running amok late at night - after midnight x hanging around the toilet blocks .Security were informed a few times but to no avail . Appreciate they were on school holidays but we were on holiday too !
Appreciate end of season but shutting shower block and restaurant whilst a few people on site didn’t seem very good .
The site is either open or closed - surely .?
Disliked - Not allowing towels to be placed for hrs and hrs .

Relevant teenagers to be advised and their parents that this behaviour in early hrs of the morning isn’t acceptable .

Liked - Lovely place nice and clean and lovely people. Good size pitch and fab water park! Loved our stay and would happily go back again
Disliked - Needs more sunbeds/seats and to stop people leaving towels and going out for the day. Also could do with a shop on site but other than that all good

Liked - A nice quiet site, with a good size pitch. The facilities were clean and tidy and the swimming pool area was great. We stayed midweek and had the pool to ourselves.
Disliked - Everything was shut, not the swimming pool, couldn’t even buy an ice cream.
We should have just arrived instead of booking and paying a fee.
