Peaceful setting in the Marais Poitevin
Under 45 minutes' drive from La Rochelle
Pool, playground, fishing and restaurant

Prepare your paddling arm: Camping l'Île Cariot is in the Marais Poitevin, the second biggest wetland in western France: here you can/certainly should take a canoe out, or a kayak, or perhaps just relinquish the paddle and allow yourself to drift dreamily down its waters on a guided flat-bottomed boat… Camping l'Île Cariot is a friendly and easy-going site, in a peaceful place about 20 kilometres from the beaches and watersports of the Atlantic coast, and 40 minutes' drive from the smashing port city of La Rochelle. Countryside and coast activities like fishing, hiking, riverside cycling and birdwatching are all around in the surrounding area. Among the many facilities on site are a heated pool with a shallow pool for kids (open from June to September), a food shop, a playground, a pétanque court, a TV room and a restaurant. Fishing is also available on site. The site also has shower and toilet blocks, disabled facilities and a launderette.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: This is a very well run site with immaculate toilets and showers and a lovely clean municipal pool. Although a fairly small site they had regular entertainment such as bingo and karaoke. They have a bar, serving food in the evenings and a snack bar open at lunchtimes. The staff were lovely and very helpful. The pitches were nice and shady. The site is walking distance to the village with convenience store and bakery. It's a great place to stay for a peaceful holiday

Liked: Nice big pitch, convenient pool with no extra charge, friendly campers and team. Great library of books and games. Loo roll, loo seats and soap - rare on a French campsite!

Disliked: Our pitch wasn’t grassy, though it was a very hot time and I’m sure others had been on and off wearing the grass down

Electric grass pitch

Liked: A nice clean, quiet site, that's good facilities and well maintained.

The pool was closed during my visit mid-June. Probably not much demand typically, but 20 degrees is tropical in Scotland.

Disliked: Booking through Pitchup gives a location that Google maps misinterpreted. Make sure you're in Chaillé-les-Marais not Champagné-les-Marais. This isn't a campsite issue, however.

Local attractions

Whether your tastes are ticked by a peaceful stroll along country lanes, a whirl around lively La Rochelle, gently stalking local wildlife or basking on the beaches of the southern Vendée, Camping l'Île Cariot is well placed for weeks' worth of active and chilled out days. The famed old abbey buildings of Maillezais, Nieul sur l’Autise and Saint Michel en l’Herm are also within easy reach. Boats of all sorts should be investigated around here too, first up with a canal trip along the rivers of the Marais Poitevin, then with a lazy afternoon being rowed around the Venise Verte, the marshland crisscrossed with teeny canals. Or take the binoculars to the wetlands of La Baie de l’Aiguillon Natural Park, home and migratory stopoff to thousands of wading birds and waterfowl. Just along the coast, have city days out at Fontenay le Comte and La Rochelle.
