Is L'oree du Bois the site next door to La Foret Indienne? You probably could cycle to the beach from there, but the road can get busy, although at the end of August it may be ok. There's a great site right next door to the Cote Sauvage, which would give you access to one of the best beaches I've ever been to, but I can't remember what it's called, so I'll have to ask my friends and then let you know.
We don't mind the pool at Logis, as to be honest we are more beach poeple and only go there for a quick swim at the end of the day. We have never spent the day there in all the 3 years we've been.
How much is Bonne Anse Plage by the way? I have to say that, whilst the slides are great, some of the pitches were tiny and the beach with site-access wasn't the best, in my opinion.

hi Askhill, Bonne Anse is out as OH says its too big and he wont set foot on a Haven/Siblu site LOL. I've also read about the beach being mud. Have a look on the Siblu website as it appears to be the only way to book (cant remember the price just how expensive it was!)
Looking like it going to be Seqouia Pk, Marennes. Other than shop within walking distance it ticks all the boxes and there will be lots of other brits there for daughter to play with.

The only problem with Sequoia Parc is the location - Marennes isn't the nicest bit of this area by any means, and the best beaches are a fair drive away - probably half an hour, and not a direct route.
Logis is about 70% Brits in my experience, with quite a few Dutch and a few French.
Swaying towards L'Oree du Bois as I've spotted they take camping cheques which makes it excellent value at £13.40 a night plus 8 euros extra for our 10 year old.

I have been looking at sites in a similar area to yourself for the end of August. I really want a site next to the beach (similar to the C&CC site at Normans Bay if you have been) and they are few and far between.
Another site we have found and like the look of is Bois Soleil; they take camping cheques and are in the Alan Rogers guide - http://www.bois-soleil.com.
I'd be interested to know if you find any other good sites.

I don't think you'll do much bodyboarding at St Georges de Didonne beaches.
Only as I said on the other thread - Bonne Anse Plage - not used it myself but know people who have and they seem to go back regularly. There aren't really any sites on the Cote Sauvage as such.
Hi Donna most pitches are the same size it really depends on how much or little shade you want, or do you want to be near the play area or under the trees. THis will be our third year in August and we have been on V13 the past 2 years which is semi shaded we booked again as we where leaving but have opted for a pitch nearer the play area and not as shaded as by the end of August out pitch was very dusty with very little grass. We asked for certain pitches but some where booked already with families who having been going in excess of 10 years.
Pitches D12 and D13 are both very large full service pitches in the woodland area with part shade.
We were on D13 last year and were dogged with misfortune the worst being my wife falling and breaking her arm. Obviously we don't blame the site for this but being superstitious, we could not help but think that this number had some influence. We're going back this year but staying on the adjacent D12.
Whatever else, we loved the site and the area, hence our return to it in late June this year.

When we had our frame tent, we always had pitch C4, which was a mix of shade and sun. It was quite near to the playpark, as well as being convenient for the showerblock. We requested that pitch for 3 years. Now we have the caravan, we prefer to be in the rows of caravans L-P (I think, can't remember where my map is). We had a lovely pitch there last year and have asked for the same one again. Mind you, towards the end of August you can pretty much pitch where you like, it was so quiet.
