Camping Signol ^{★★★★★}

I had high hopes for this place but was left feeling disappointed. We booked to stay 6 nights but left after 5 but this was mainly due to the fact we decided to book a 1 night stop over further north so the drive to the ferry wasn't so long. We were camping in our campervan, the pitch is sandy and there... is lots of ants. The toilet block was most of the time kept clean but it was rather frustrating that although masks were required nobody wore them and none of the staff were enforcing this. The drinking water stations were spread out amongst the campsite so had a little walk to these, I would invest in a water carrier to make this easier as we didn't have one and had to walk back and forth everyday to fill up bottles. There is no local bins to the pitches so you have to carry your rubbish through the bar/restaurant area, to the far corner of the car park to dispose of it! Why not have bin areas near to the pitches!? You are given a gate code for the barrier on arrival to get in and out of the campsite, this worked some days and not others so you was stuck in or out if it decided not to work! We was the only English on site and although I don't mind this, we felt it was sadly just was geared up for the French and made the atmosphere unwelcoming. My daughter tried to make friends but with great difficulty. The campsite with the right atmosphere has the potential to be good, the splash park pool area is really good and kept spotless and the park is really good for the kids.

Stayed here recently in our camper van with two teenagers. Booked a standard pitch with fridge, we were surprised when we arrived to find our fridge in the middle of the pitch!
Cleaned it up and managed to get it plugged in, but the cable wasn’t very long so might be something to note if going in... the future!
Pitch was okay, electric point was 2 pitches away so a bit of a struggle but all sorted!
Shower block / toilets are close by and are good - regularly cleaned and plenty of hand sanitiser!
Not always hot warm available if showers busy!
Facilities on site are basic but good, very few English speaking, but we managed. Reception gets busy and very little staff around so had to wait a while for service.
Bike hire appears to be reserved before arrival, so although there appeared to be a lot of bikes waiting, we couldn’t book them as they were all reserved, which was a bit frustrating!
Surrounding area is beautiful and the site is just a short walk from a lovely beach, great choice of bars and restaurants and a evening market is held most nights.

Would visit again but maybe just for a couple of nights.

We booked a Premium Trio mobile home and were very impressed with both that and the campsite itself. Lovely clean mobile home with excellent wifi and air conditioning which was invaluable on the hot days. Brilliant campsite with mobile homes nicely positioned for privacy and a fantastic swimming pool... area. Lovely beach on 15 mins walk away, as well as many others a short drive or cycle ride away. We hired bikes and loved the safe cycle routes we followed with our children. Fantastic holiday and we will definitely be back.

Our "prestige cottage" was extremely spacious, clean and comfortable - and the camp is situated in a lovely part of Ile d'Oleron. Take-away meals were very big portions! Our only, very slight, criticism would be that the campsite seemed to be a little bit overcrowded with various accommodation types... being set very close to each other - but this did not bother us.

We stayed 6 nights in the Camping Signol. We were given a choice of pitches. All were very good. We just chose the biggest! The toilet block was nearby and provided very good hot showers and toilets but the temperature of the water in the washing up area was only “warm” at best. We didn’t use... the restaurant or swimming pool but the little shop (and it is small) was great for fresh bread and a few odds and ends. Don’t expect a big supermarket. All in all, we’d give the campsite 9.5/10 and would have no hesitation in returning again ourselves and recommending it to others.
