Stay: May 2016
"In the shadow of the lighthouse - The elongated site lies behind a dune, so there are no pitches with a direct sea view. It is divided into plots of different sizes. Shade is only provided by a few small trees; overall the site is sunny. The very well-kept sanitary facilities without gender segregation with large shower cubicles are divided into three small houses in the typical local architectural style. Coin-operated washing machines are available at the site entrance. Chemical toilets can only be emptied at the disposal station for motorhomes. The level ground is gravelly with a thin layer of sand/soil, so sturdy tent pegs are recommended. The access roads are asphalted. A rather weak WIFI is only available free of charge for guests in the vicinity of the reception and the playground. There is a small playground, boules court, mini golf course and beach volleyball court, but no swimming pool. Barbecuing is possible in several places at fixed barbecue stations. As is usual on French campsites, there are mobile homes or cabins and also permanently erected tents for rent. Swimming is possible on the pebbly, unguarded beach, which is directly accessible from the campsite. As the Atlantic meets the land here practically unchecked in conjunction with the strong tides, you should be careful! Apart from a small snack bar and the option of ordering bread, there are no other facilities on site. Smaller purchases can be made in a small Epicerie near the campsite (Rue de la Plage) and otherwise only a little further away in the villages. The stores at the nearby Phare des Baleines are typical tourist traps. Two large shopping centers are located in the east of St.-Martin-de-Ré. Overall, the site is quiet out of season; in season it is likely to be packed due to its convenient location. I found the operators to be friendly and courteous. Two small details: the entry and exit barriers are controlled by an automatic license plate recognition system (the license plate is entered into the system when you register) and there is the option of renting a small electric car at the site, which allows you to drive over the bridge to and from the mainland toll-free and park for free in some places in la Rochelle.
