We'd not planned to go across to France but someone is selling a holiday at this campsite for the last two weeks of August £500 including ferry crossing in a 6 berth pre erected tent + all the equipment. Which is tempting me.
Thanks for any info.

Don't forget to leave a review of the French and other European campsites you have visited!
We went about 8 yrs ago when they were just building the indoor pool. Our lads enjoyed the pool with slides immensely and the site itself was fine. We had a nice shaded pitch and the facilities were good and the bar area although small if I remember, was more than adequate.
We were on the side of the road where the small swimming pool was but as someone has said there is a safe crossing under the main road to the other side where the other two pools are.
we stayed in a eurotent on this site 5 years ago nice site good pools and slides not alot going on outside the site just lots for campsite its on busy road short drive to beach we licked this area
We are due to go to Les Amiaux at the end of this month for 15 days.Have 1 x 13,1x16, and1 x19 year old children.Is there plenty for different ages to do? Is site kept well? Weather good?.
Anything else you can think of for first timers to this site.
Although i havent stayed on this site, i have driven past it and stayed in the area on many ocassions.
The beaches are great around here, windy at times but good for swimming and laying around.
Lots of activities nearby try
Canoeing on the nearby river (forgotten the place but there are posters all over the place)
Day out at the lake at Apremont
parcs les Dunes at Bretignolles

Quad Biking very nearby
Horse riding nearby
Are you going in a tent or staying on an onsite static. The camping pitches are well maintained the static pitches could have done with a mow. The water slides are popular my kids bought infaltable rings from the site shop and had great fun going down slides on them. There is a 5 a side pitch and some table tennis tables - take your own bats. There is a tennis court. Beach is 10-15 min walk through forrest. You need a gas BBQ if you are wanting to BBQ (normanl for most French sites now) We took our cadac and used it every day. There is a new toddler outdoor pool and a large rectangular outdoor pool, as well as slides and heated indoor pool. We never use the bar or onsite restaurant so can't comment.
Swimming at lake Apremont is great. There is also the velo track but we have never been on that. Noirmoutier is nice for a day trip with the Passage du Gois (which the tour went over). Super U is near by take a euro cent for trolly and carrier bags for shopping.

there are lots of tent pitches all over the site, there seem to be plenty of toilet blocks around although can't comment on the quality as we have never used them.
Amazing family weekend with old steam engines, classic car displays, market stalls, and full catering and bar. And camping on site - Save £25 by booking in advance.
