  • Quiet Île d’Oléron family campsite with Atlantic Ocean views
  • On the edge of Saint-Denis d’Oléron; direct access to a sandy beach
  • Swimming pool with waterslides; play areas and a multisports ground
Heading for the Île d’Oléron in search of some gorgeous sea views, plus some proper peaceful space? Take a look at Camping Phare Ouest, on the edge of Saint-Denis d’Oléron, right up at the very tip of this lovely nature-filled island. Being right up at the far end of the island means this site has a fabulously remote and relaxed vibe – something that’s further boosted by the gorgeous ocean views and access to a soft sandy beach just next door. It’s a nicely landscaped and leafy place in private parkland with lots of mature trees, and it’s within easy strolling distance of several local landmarks including Chassiron Lighthouse and the Brée-les-Bains salt marshes. Down on the beach there’s a playground for younger kids and a multisports ground with basketball hoops and handball goals to keep teenagers out of mischief. And if you’re not a fan of swimming in the sea, no worries – the site also has a palm-tree-lined pool complex with waterslides and a paddling pool, a Jacuzzi and a suntrap deck with loungers. For a bit more activity, have a game of pétanque or take to the jogging track that wends its way around the campsite. Saint-Denis d’Oléron has all the amenities you need for carefree holidays, including shops, a daily market (in summer) and cruises from the marina, where you can also hire boats, bikes, scooters and quad bikes to explore the rest of the island. Shuttle boats also connect the village to La Rochelle on the mainland, Île d’Aix, Île de Ré and Fort Boyard.

Local attractions

You’ll easily be able to walk or bike around several of the attractions up at this end of the island – Chassiron Lighthouse and its beach are about half an hour away on foot, as is the beach in Saint-Denis d’Oléron. Have a stroll around the market and marina while you’re in town, and see what’s on offer in terms of boat trips to Fort Boyard and the other neighbouring islands. Other nice places to have a walk nearby include the salt marshes around La Brée-les-Bains (10 minutes’ drive), the seaside trails and beaches of Prairie des Anges (20 minutes) and the birdwatching hub of Natural Reserve Moëze-Oléron (40 minutes). Of course, there are also lots of lovely beaches to explore on this laidback island – perhaps you fancy cycling to Plages des Huttes (15 minutes by bike) or Plage de Chaucre (25 minutes), maybe also taking a short diversion to see Moulin de La Brée (15 minutes). For a grander slice of history, wander around the gardens of Chateau de Bonnemie (15 minutes’ drive) and admire its classic turrets, then visit Musée de l'Ile d'Oléron (20 minutes).
