  • Peaceful site with easy access to Côte de Beauté beaches and resorts
  • Zoo, museums and amusement park of Royan within 20 minutes
  • Miniature golf and shop with organic local produce
Sick of morning commutes with hours spent behind the wheel? Free yourself from la voiture at Camping le Sorlut, a family-friendly site on the edge of the Charente-Maritime town of Cozes in Poitou-Charentes… to spend your hols in a haze that has nothing to do with exhaust fumes. The sights of Cozes are close at hand, a two-minute stroll leads to the vélorail station (on a line to the vineyards of Saintonge) and a 10-minute saunter to Rue Saint-Pierre puts two-wheelers on the long-distance GR 360 looped route that starts and ends in Saintes. Adventures under someone else’s steam are a cinch too – a bus station about five minutes’ walk from base has routes to the beaches and towns of the Côte de Beauté. On days when moving even that far feels like a stretch, there’s lots on site to entertain: play a round at the miniature golf course, go game-set-match on the ping pong tables, challenge other guests to pétanque and, during July and August, take a dip in the heated, open-air outdoor pool next door, which is a public pool. Foodies are well served here too: there’s a convenience store for picking up organic and local produce (order crates of fruit and veg when home-cooked meals are on the menu); a bread service during high season and ice cream to be nabbed when the heat starts setting in. A food truck visits the site twice a week, so you can stock up on homemade wraps, fries, tapas and drinks.

What customers say

This clean, well-maintained campsite is praised for its peaceful atmosphere and spacious, grassy pitches. Staff are frequently described as friendly, welcoming, and accommodating. Its location is convenient, close to a large supermarket and a public pool next door, though it's noted the pool is not part of the campsite and incurs a fee. While facilities are generally found to be clean, some reviews mention issues with toilet paper availability and a lack of enclosed shower cubicles. Some guests were disappointed by the advertised but non-existent on-site swimming pool.

Liked Les propriétaires et gérants de ce chouette camping, sont très accueillants et à l’écoute. Ils sont très bien organisés et accomplissent toutes les tâches à eux deux.
Le camping est très calme, même lorsqu’il est complet, et les sanitaires sont toujours impeccables.
Nous reviendrons l’année prochaine avec plaisir !

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked Camping familiar, muy tranquilo, limpio y en una buena zona para descubrir los secretos de esa pequeña zona de Francia.
El propietario muy atento y amable durante nuestra estancia.
Recomiendo dar uso de las barbacoas.

Disliked Advertencia: en la piscina municipal contigua al camping, los hombres no pueden llevar bañador tipo bermudas, tiene que ser ajustado.

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked Friendly family running the site.
Big swimming next door (not free though).
Huge supermarket next door.
Nice sized campsite with a nice mellow/chilled vibe.
Lots of toilets and showers which were clean.
Nice mix of various nationalities (guests).
Some nice beaches not too far away (20-40 minutes).
Pitches are in between tress which provided lots of shade.
Nice playground area for kids including basketball hoop and table tennis table.

Disliked Had to pay for the pool. Apparently it used to be included with camping but not anymore.
No toilet paper or soap provided, so take your own each time.

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked Sehr großer Stellplatz für unser Zelt und Auto. Duschen sauber, ebenso Toiletten. Möglichkeit für Abwasch. Steomanschluss.

Disliked Nahegelegener Supermarkt früh morgens extrem laut (leere Flaschen). Keine Gemeinschaftsküche auf dem Platz. Platzwart sehr wortkarg. Keine Backwaren morgens auf dem Platz zu erwerben, Supermarkt öffnet erst 8:30 Uhr, leider kein Bäcker, nur Supermarktware.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Nous vous remercions pour votre chaleureux avis. En effet, notre camping est arboré, ce qui a été particulièrement appréciable durant la période de canicule. Nous sommes navrés que vous ayez été dérangé par un campeur de passage en raison de son quad.
Au plaisir de vous revoir parmi nous !

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Merci d’avoir précisé que l’ambiance au camping est superbe . Cependant, nous aurions apprécié en savoir davantage sur le manque d’organisation de l’équipe. Cela ne vous a tout de même pas empêché de rester plusieurs jours parmi nous :-)
il ne semble que nous avions repondu à toutes vos demandes lors de nos derniers echanges ( frigo, emplacement....).
Bien cordialement

Local attractions

What’s a getaway without some sandy days? Luckily no one has to find out round here as the beaches of Royan’s Grande Conche are just a 15-minute drive from base… This is a top spot for watersports and beachy activities, with standup paddleboarding, sandsurfing, canoeing and kayaking trips, and jetski outings along the seafront. Stick around Royan for museums and the Planet Exotica botanical garden and zoo, or opt instead for the sea lions, tigers and polar bears of Zoo La Palmyre, half an hour from base. More family days are within easy reach at Les Antilles de Jonzac waterpark, 40 minutes away. The banks of the Gironde estuary – the largest in western Europe – are about 15 minutes from the site, and the villages that cling to the shoreline are well worth a visit. Start with comely Talmont-sur-Gironde and its narrow streets of white houses with pretty blue shutters, before travelling onwards to Meschers-sur-Gironde and its Grottes de Matata cliff dwellings. For grown-up days, make the 50-minute journey to Cognac for tastings and distillery tours, castles, gardens and stately houses.
