Camping Les Écureuils ****

Lovely family campsite on the Atlantic coast

This lovely family campsite is located on the Atlantic Coast close to the towns of St. Nazaire and Nantes. The sea, beach and centre of the village of La Bernerie-en-Retz are within walking distance (400 metres). You and your family will not be bored at this campsite in France.

Wonderful water park and leisure pool

Camping Les Écureuils has a fully renovated water park and leisure pool with heated swimming pool, slides, jacuzzi, waterfall and a safe children's area with games. You can relax on the loungers around the swimming pool. Adults can take part in water polo and aqua gym during high season, and if the weather is not so good, you can go to the indoor pool.

Nice and busy

There is an entertainment programme for both young and old and you can enjoy a drink at the bar. If you don't feel like cooking one evening, you can get a take-away meal. Sports enthusiasts can play tennis on the new tennis courts. You can also play boules on the new bowling green, enjoy the trampoline and the multisports field . And don't forget: table tennis!

Mussels and other shellfish

The Atlantic beaches are just 400 metres away. You can swim in the pool filled with sea water and learn to sail at the sailing school. At low tide, you can go fishing for mussels and other types of shellfish! There is plenty to see in the area. You can enjoy the nearby fishing villages. The charming fishing harbour at Pornic is highly recommended. You can also visit the Noirmoutier aquarium, explore the islands or visit the salt museum in Batz.

Family with children, various ages

The campsite is very well located within easy walking distance of the beach and the town. It is maintained to a high standard of cleanliness and the pool, bar and games areas provide excellent on-site facilitates. We would have welcomed an on-site shop for everyday food.
