Hi as you're probably aware i'm new to camping abroad ................... but with the help of you guys have found a site that i quite like the look of Les Brunelles in Vendee, i was wondering if anyone has been there and what it is like.

Also do you think it is too far for my first camping trip to France??

Site is brilliant, so too is a smaller more quaint site under the same management, M Guinard) called le Petit Rocher, in nearby Longeville-sur-Mer. http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/sites/details.asp?revid=6677 . Access to some pitches is a bit tight, depends how big a unit you have.

I inspected almost 60 sites in this area last year for the Alan Rogers Guides.

Hi Di,

We stayed here last August for 12 nights, pitches ok but some can be some way to your hook up, luckily we where able to thread ours through a bush into the site next door, they never realised. Plenty going on on the site we found it to be too noisey for us Entertainment every night (in French) small shop on site, nice pool area and lovely beach just a couple of mins drive at Le Rocher. Loads of cycle routes and pretty Marine at Jard Sur Mer.

The area is lovely the people where friendly the showers and loos where fine it was just not our type of site too much going on we prefer the quieter side. Ideal if you have teenagers as there is a football pitch/ Basketball pitch.

We drove from Le Harve to Les Brunelles in a day and we towed the TT.

 For the quieter site I would also recommend Les Ecruiels at Jard Sur Mer just 10 mins away.

Thanks guys that's fab..................... i'm going to try and book it either now or tomorrow morning!!

We have to try and keep the kids happy and mine like entertainment on nights, through the day they are quite happy with either the pool, beach or even visiting other places.

It all comes down to trying to keep a happy medium for everyone although personally oh and i prefer quiet sites which is what we do when the in laws have them for the weekend!!

Cheers ur help is appreciated.
