    • At the foot of the famous Baleines lighthouse on the Île de Ré, you'll discover the charms of our island, Ré la Blanche. Our various rentals, such as mobile homes, lodge tents, and even cozy wooden cabins, will allow you to unwind and relax for a peaceful and exotic vacation. Committed to responsible and sustainable tourism for 10 years, you'll appreciate the serenity of the place.

      Sheltered by the dune, you benefit from 2 direct accesses to the seawall and to the small wild beach of the whales to admire fabulous sunsets.

      We have been committed to an eco-responsible and sustainable tourism approach for 10 years through the European Ecolabel, member of 1% for the planet, we are supported by Fredon Nouvelle-Aquitaine for a plant expertise of our campsite and are finalizing our CSR approach in 2023.

    Once again, we were able to appreciate the quality of this campsite, which prioritizes the tranquility and natural surroundings. The team is excellent, both in welcoming and listening to guests and in maintaining the facilities. We really appreciated the new 4-person Comfort mobile homes. The layout is nice, with plenty of practical storage space and a large terrace. As always, the sound of the waves and the sumptuous sunsets on the lifeboat beach are a bonus... What more could you ask for, except to come back next year! JM&MO

    Fantastic stay at Les Baleines campsite! Ideally located, right next to the Les Baleines lighthouse and a 20-minute walk from the magnificent beach of La Conche des Baleines, which you can reach via a coastal path passing the lighthouse and the fish lock. The sunset on the beach right next to the campsite is splendid. A warm welcome upon our arrival. The pitches are spacious, well-appointed, and well-maintained. New toilet facilities and impeccable cleanliness. Bread and pastries in the morning. Friendly and very peaceful atmosphere in September. What a pleasure to find a campsite with more pitches for campers than bungalows! A whole spirit that is lost and that we rediscover with great pleasure in this charming campsite of
