Family-friendly Charente-Maritime site in St-Georges-de-Didonne
Royan 15 minutes’ drive; Zoo La Palmyre 25 minutes
Waterpark with slides; activity programme; mini market and snack bar

Shaded by the tall maritime pines and holm oaks of the Forêt de Suzac, Ideal Camping has spacious pitches on the outskirts of the seaside resort of St-Georges-de-Didonne, in the Charente-Maritime department. What’s your pleasure? Sandy beaches, perhaps? Then you'll be pleased to hear that the long crescent of Plage St-Georges-de-Didonne is only 200 metres away. You can unfurl your towel and relax on the golden sand as soon as you arrive – or, if you feel active, walk (or cycle) to the lighthouse at the northern end of the beach, then continue on past the headland to another sandy beach at Royan. Whatever you do, it pays to stay at the beach until early evening, as there's often a spectacular sunset. There’s also plenty to do on site, starting with a waterpark with pools (including a paddling area), slides and a Jacuzzi. Kids can also let off some steam in the well-equipped playground, or challenge their mates at the ping-pong table or on the multisport field. During peak season, the site also runs a lively entertainment programme with such activities as boules competitions, live music events and themed soirées. Barbecues are allowed, and a mini market on site sells a wide range of foodstuffs (including buttery croissants and freshly baked baguettes for breakfast). Alternatively, the snack bar serves burgers, pizzas and pasta dishes, or you can explore the restaurants and cafés in the centre of St-Georges-de-Didonne (five minutes’ drive). The site has twelve well-equipped and well-maintained toilet blocks with hot water and select equipment adapted for people with reduced mobility. There's also a launderette.

Local attractions

With its coastal habitats, inland seas and mudflats, the Parc Naturel Marin de l’Estuaire de la Gironde (10 minutes’ walk) provides shelter to a large number of migratory birds, including ducks and geese. If you’re lucky, you might also be able to spot bottlenose and common dolphins, plus grey seals. Sitting on a small island in the middle of the Gironde estuary, the Cordouan Lighthouse can be accessed only by boat from either Royan (15 minutes’ drive) or Le Verdon-sur-Mer (50 minutes). Climb the 301 steps to the top of this elegant 17th-century beacon (a UNESCO World Heritage Site) to take in far-reaching views of the coastline. Zoo La Palmyre (25 minutes) is home to hundreds of animals – from big cats to primates, and from crocodiles to birds like colourful flamingoes and macaws. There are shows featuring sea lions and bird displays, or you can feed zoo-supplied corn to the resident giraffes and zebras.
