Camping Sandaya Séquoia Parc *****
General information
Parkland grounds around an old castle
The word 'park' in Camping Séquioa Parc is very appropriate: the five-star campsite is situated on 45 hectares of parkland with woods and fields of sunflowers around an old castle. The castle itself and the outbuildings are a part of the campsite amenities.Authentic France
The Charente Maritime is situated on the west coast of France. Possibly not the most well-known holiday region, but that's definitely undeserved. It is a region with something for everyone: the campsite is located just 5 km from the Atlantic coast, by the beach at Marennes and just south of Rochefort and La Rochelle. The Charente is also a region of old fishing villages, oyster farms and culinary delights. Cognac comes from this region.Spectacular water park in castle setting
It is difficult to say what makes Camping Séquioa Parc so great: is it the stately castle, or the lovely swimming complex with its spectacular slides? 3 of the 4 swimming pools are heated! Swimwear such as long shorts, Bermuda shorts and T shirts are not allowed in the swimming pool.Wellness and fitness
This French campsite is a real paradise for children, full of activity and fun. A children's club is available throughout the campsite's opening season. To celebrate the campsite's 20th birthday in 2017, Sequoia Parc opened a beautiful wellness and fitness centre: ‘Les Brises’ offers many opportunities for sportive activity or quiet relaxation.Sunny islands
The surrounding area is variable and attractive. Just off the coast are the four islands of Oléron, Ré, Aix and Madame. The two biggest, Ile-de-Oléron and Ile-de-Ré can be reached by car over a dike. This French region has a mild climate and is second only to the Côte d'Azur for sunshine hours! There is always a fresh sea breeze.

Beautiful setting. Fantastic entertainment and kids facilities. Superb pools and extremely professional staff consistently and politely enforcing policy. Extremely busy at pool areas from July with average queue time at the bar in the entertainment space >12 minutes in the evenings. Would definitely consider a return though.

Be a conscious traveller
How much CO2 will you be emitting with this trip? We calculate that for you (departing from Dover). Make a conscious choice by choosing greener transport options and decrease your CO2 emissions immediately.
How are CO2 emissions calculated? We base our calculations on a family of four persons. We calculate the following amount of emissions per person:
Train: 0.03 kg per kilometre
Car: 0.137 kg per kilometre
Airplane: from 0.59 kg to 1.04 kg per kilometre, depending on the distance
A lower CO2 emission is better for the environment. Will you choose an experience that is significant?
