Camping Puits de L'Auture

Camping with motorhome

Reviewed By Tony F

Site situated off main road but pitch was quiet and facilities good. On site shop basic and supermarket 2 miles distance. Good and reasonably priced restaurants within walking distance. Site was busy and not much space between pitches but some shade from the sun in the hot weather. Very helpful staff. Mix of cabins and camping pitches

Great little site

Reviewed By Paul S

We were camping with a ten. Pros: Very, very clean facilities. Spacious pitches. Plenty of shade. Lovely pool. Plentiful supply of very hot water. Supermarket 800 mtrs away. Well stocked bike hire facility. Excellent, if rather overpriced, pizzas. Lovely 20 minute stroll through vineyards to Ars-en-Re and its lively daily market or through a forest to the beach (at low tide it is rock pool heaven!) Cons: Traffic noise from road, more noticeable at night. No hand washing facilities in toilet blocks (but strangely there are potable water stands directly outside the blocks that people were seen using to wash hands after using the toilets, which is not particularly hygienic). No bins in toilet cubicles for feminine hygiene use.

Camping au Petit Port de l'Houmeau

Nice site a short distance from la Rochelle

Reviewed By riley317

Enjoyed our stay here, extending our stay by 4 nights. Reception was perfect, young lady jolly and helpful, just right here. Our 4 berth mobile home was cosy, but there was no excess space, not much room around the beds for example, and pretty close to neighbours, so considerate neighbours have to be hoped for. We particularly wanted somewhere close to la Rochelle, and this was ideal. Nice country walk nearby, great for our dog. The mobile home was clean and well equipped, only item we could think to be added would be a hair dryer. Beds are a good size, comfortable, and new duvets were supplied.

Au Pays Des Bulles

Between Bordeaux and La Rochelle, in Montendre, "Au Pays Des Bulles" is an unusual eco-friendly lodging. This place offers all the comforts of a hotel in a transparent bubble wilderness for a night under the stars.

A night under the stars in a bubble - never had anything like it - brilliant.

Reviewed By Dean H

My wife and I decided we would do something different and so we booked into the bubble for one night. We were welcomed by Pierre and Anne-Valarie who showed us around the place. They were wonderful - spotless English and some English humour to - we felt very much at home. You could not ask for better hosts. Then we were left alone in the privacy of our bubble in the forest. We sat out side on the veranda and drank some wine while the sun set and then went to bed gazing at the stars. It was breath taking! Below - I have ticked the Hotel boxes even though it is not a hotel but a private bubble in the forest grounds.

1st time camping in 20 years

Reviewed By Rebecca C

This is a spotless, tranquil campsite with good ameneties and friendly English speaking staff. The swimming pool was lovely but the near by beaches were more of a draw for the children. The only negative comment is that they really need a second toilet block.. It was a bit far from the actual camping area, and the little shop was rather expensive. The on site cafe we would have used but it never seemed to be open when we wanted anything. The pitches are shady and large and the site and well lit at night. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at this site.

Time stands still here

Reviewed By Ttbba

We stayed in the main castle (not the cabannes in the forest which were sold out). It was a wonderful and magic day and overnight stay. We participated in the treasure hunt around the castle grounds and forest which is lovingly organized by family members of the owners. It was fun, entertaining and educational for young and old. We also had a wonderful dinner and breakfast. Time really seems to stand still in this place. The hosts (Catherine and Denis) are thoughful, attentive and lovely. We can only recommend this place.

Camping A La Corniche

Great stay

Reviewed By kamac1970

L01 PMR chalet Excellent break away, sadly the shower raiser was broken and towel hooks are definitely needed in the shower room for damp towels. The play area was quiet for our first 2 nights which was bliss, but on our last night a group of adults turned up and started playing basketball making a noise until it got dark. Sadly this ruined an otherwise quiet break. We will definitely book here again, but as the only 2 PMR chalets are next to the play area this may be difficult at the moment.

fraudulent insurance payments demanded even though we said we were separately insured

Reviewed By Bridgeybarnes

I made a booking for 16 people for our annual easter cycling weekend and we chose this site in Il de Re. I challenged the addition for insurance for the site despite saying all of the people coming have separate insurance policies. They said if we didn't pay for the insurance they will just cancel our booking. For the sake of c.5 quid I thought it wasn't much in the grand scheme of things so we begrudgingly paid the money. COVID came and our booking was cancelled. This was ok however the camp site were not forthcoming with providing the necessary documentation to process our claim with the 'insurance company'. I decided to pursue the refund through my credit card provider (CCP) who were happy to process the claim. My CCP contacted me to let me know that Les Grenettes were contesting the refund stating that we have rescheduled for end of July / beginning of August. This was not offered before nor confirmed by us. Note the dates as this is peak season for the camp site. We were going to go in Easter when it was cheaper. No price was agreed with the campsite either. The last communication we had was that we can claim our money back from the 'insurance company'. I can see from the latest reviews here that these people are shiesters at best. These people are greedy and are still giving me a headache until now. Stay somewhere else in the island. It is beautiful and I can't wait to go back. Unfortunately there are people like Les Grenettes who take advantage of this.
