Stay at the Award-Winning Le Marais Sauvage***: Voted #1 Campsite in Pays de la Loire & #2 in all of FRANCE!**
Are you dreaming of an authentic escape where nature, tranquility, and genuine hospitality meet? Welcome to Le Marais Sauvage*** (The Wild Marsh), a charming 3-star destination recently ranked by as the top-rated campsite in the Pays de la Loire region and the 2nd best in the entire country! Nestled in the peaceful village of Le Mazeau, often described as one of the most preserved and beautiful spots in the Marais Poitevin, our campsite is a human-sized haven designed for outdoor lovers and "slow tourism" enthusiasts. Located in the heart of the legendary "Green Venice" (Venise Verte), we offer a serene retreat between the iconic villages of Coulon and Damvix. Here, you don`t just book a pitch; you embark on a unique journey where the beauty of the landscape dictates the pace of your day.
Authentic Camping & Boutique Glamping At Le Marais Sauvage, we celebrate the true spirit of traditional camping with a strong eco-friendly commitment. We offer 54 spacious, grassy, and well-defined pitches, ensuring every camper enjoys their own slice of paradise.
Traditional Camping: Whether you arrive with a tent, caravan, or motorhome, our pitches provide the perfect blend of shade and sunlight.
Motorhome Facilities: We are fully equipped for road-trippers with a dedicated service area (waste water disposal and fresh water refilling), making your stopover seamless and professional.
The "Glamping" Experience: For those seeking a cozy, "no-fuss" stay, fall in love with our unusual accommodations. Our Vintage Caravan or our Canvas Tiny Houses offer a snug, stylish nest for a "glamping" holiday—perfect for a romantic or relaxing getaway without the logistics.
The Ultimate Hub for Slow Travel The greatest luxury here is freedom. Once you arrive, you can leave your car keys behind:
Cycling: Directly from the campsite entrance, you can join a vast network of cycling paths that wind through the shade of the iconic pollard ash trees. It is the perfect place to explore the Marsh at your own pace. Our partner, Original Velo Tour, also offers fascinating guided bike tours to help you discover the hidden secrets of the region.
Boating & Canoeing: Just a few steps from your pitch, the Venise Verte pier (embarkation point) awaits. Paddle your own canoe or take a traditional guided boat trip to discover the secret canals. It is a magical experience where the water turns a vibrant green under the canopy of trees.
Local Flavors & Friendly Atmosphere We believe that good food is the heart of a great holiday. In our bar and restaurant area, we offer simple and delicious homemade cuisine. Don`t miss our authentic buckwheat galettes and sweet crepes, prepared on-site in a relaxed atmosphere. Our convenience store highlights the best local products from the Marsh, and every morning, you can enjoy freshly baked bread and pastries delivered to the site for a perfect breakfast on your terrace.
Modern Comforts in a Natural Setting While we focus on nature, we don`t compromise on your comfort:
Free and unlimited Wi-Fi accessible throughout the entire campsite.
A modern laundry room, a dedicated nursery for families, and refrigerator rentals.
Pet Friendly: Dogs are full-fledged members of the family here! Proudly holding the "Qualidog" label, we are delighted to offer free stays for your pets on our pitches.
Come and enjoy a "slow life" break where the atmosphere is warm, the landscape is lush, and the welcome is always personal.
