Camping Campiotel des Dunes ^★★★★

14. August 2018 um 07:21:36

We were camping with a ten.

Pros:
Very, very clean facilities.
Spacious pitches.
Plenty of shade.
Lovely pool.
Plentiful supply of very hot water.
Supermarket 800 mtrs away.
Well stocked bike hire facility.
Excellent, if rather overpriced, pizzas.
Lovely 20 minute stroll through vineyards to Ars-en-Re... and its lively daily market or through a forest to the beach (at low tide it is rock pool heaven!)

Cons:
Traffic noise from road, more noticeable at night.
No hand washing facilities in toilet blocks (but strangely there are potable water stands directly outside the blocks that people were seen using to wash hands after using the toilets, which is not particularly hygienic).
No bins in toilet cubicles for feminine hygiene use.

The facilities at Campiotel des Dunes are immaculate and every aspect for a relaxing holiday have been well considered.
The shower blocks are excellent with plenty of room to change, nice clean outdoor washing up sinks with plenty of hot water and good laundry facilities. Credit must be given to the... outstanding standard of cleanliness and hygiene throughout.
The pool and its surrounding terrace is a great place to relax at end the day after exploring the nearby woodland and wide sandy beaches or cycling through the Marais and Nature Reserve. Very competitively priced cycle hire is thoughtfully provided on site.
The nearby village of Ars en Re has a good range of shops, cafés, restaurants, galleries and wonderful harbour-side walks.
The camping pitches are shaded and have good surrounding vegetation and electrical hook ups if required. The new bar and cafe is a great convenience. Madame Barbotin and her family are continually investing in the latest chalets and cabins, including the CoCo Sweet tent-chalets, which are great.
A very peaceful location and a great place to be based for many island adventures. Thank you for another wonderful holiday.

Nice site, clean, lovely people running the site but very very noisy after 10pm until midnight. Unsupervised youngsters running wild around the site. Parents leave them on the site and go off to local restaurants etc. Site rules are everywhere suggesting absolute quiet after 10pm. This review is being... written at 11pm and site restaurant is playing very loud music. We had booked for longer but have left early.

Went to this camp-site for the second time; rented the Mobile Home (PMR) with disabled facilities.
Master bedroom, bathroom, & kitchen/living area all spaceous enough for wheelchair. FIrst year we stayed, bed was very small (140x190). Second time we asked the owner for a larger bed and if it would be... possible to have a fixed 'veranda' at the mobile-home (due to location in sun). When we came: 160x200cm bed was placed and a 'veranda' was installed. Campsite is clean, nice pool with bar (with drink, snacks and (simple) take-away meals). Beautifull surroundings, small cities and much more.

We've been 3 times to this campsite in the last 4 years. Ile de Re is one of our favourite places, especially the far north western part of the island, including and beyond Ars-en-Re.

The campsite has great facilities. It is relatively small and intimate, and the family who own it are friendly and... helpful. For us its hidden secret is the walk through the pine forest and dunes to a fantastic, isolated long beach - La Cote Sauvage. As the name suggests it can be wild and windswept, but also a great place to spend a warm summer's afternoon and body board in the sea.
