Camping Le California

The swimming area at this campsite in Saint-Jean-de-Monts is extensive, with separate shallow pools for the youngest and a large deeper area with slides for those with swimming certificates. Should it rain one day, the indoor pool offers solace. The kilometre-long beach, about 7 minute drive away, is a feast for water sports enthusiasts, sand castle builders, and sun worshippers.

Theme nights and daytime entertainment are provided for your camping holiday and that of your children. The team welcomes young holidaymakers at the Kids Club and they will meet new friends on the bouncy castle. There is a playground and for yourself, a game of petanque, bowling or table tennis is a fun way to get to know other campsite guests. You can hire bikes and go-karts at reception. Restaurants and a supermarket with fresh bread are available.

You are a stone's throw from the roller coasters of Atlantic Toboggan amusement park, so treat the whole family to a day out. You can also do so at Le Grand Defi or Parc des Dunes. Popular zoos are Planète Sauvage or L'Ile aux Papillons. In pretty Nantes, shop to your heart's content against a backdrop of stunning architecture. If you like nature, there is the Pays de Monts national park, a vast forest. In the evening, strolling along the promenade of Saint-Jean-de-Monts is also a must.
