Has anyone visited Ile Cariot at Chaille les Marias? I have found a few reviews on Zoover but none on here. What I am looking for is a site in that area where we can walk into a village in the evening. We also need a pool as have teenagers with us. Any recommendations of alternative sites in the area are welcome. Or alternatively somewhere towards La Rochelle.

The campsite looks to me like a perfectly nice, normal, small, rural French site, but in the wrong place, and I don't think you will find much in the village when you walk in there in an evening. If you have a tent you may want to stay in one place, but with a caravan we would go there for a day or two and decide whether to move on or not. It's an area we drive through every year but aren't really tempted to stop. It's simply flat, agricultural farmland

Marans is a bigger place nearby, with shops and a market and traffic jams. The municipal site there has a pool and gets good reviews. So does the municipal site at Maillezais, which is also nearby, but I don't think that has a pool.

Would you consider going an hour further to somewhere like Camping La Palombiere at Les Mathes which is close to the surfing beaches of the Cote Sauvage?

We liked the campsite at Pont L'Abbe d'Arnoult, Camping La Garenne. It's about 20 minutes from the coast in a lovely old town with a brilliant market. The site has lots of shade & 3 pools attached.

Thank you to you both.

I will go and have a look at your recommendations.

Camping La Palombiere, I think is already on the list of possibles. I seem to keep drifting around and am finding it difficult to make a decision this year.
