    • What could be better than a holiday at the foot of the famous Phare des Baleines lighthouse on the Île de Ré to truly disconnect ? Our charming, family-run campsite, with its traditional atmosphere and 149 camping pitches and only 24 rental accommodations, is ideal for a relaxing and rejuvenating getaway. You'll appreciate the tranquility of the setting. With no organized activities or swimming pool, nature and peace will set the rhythm of your stay. From the campsite, the cycle path offers numerous opportunities for rides to the salt marshes or the market in Ars-en-Ré.

      In the morning, our bakery opens at 8:00 am and offers breakfasts on our lovely terrace.

      We offer large camping pitches, 3 new sanitary facilities also equipped for babies and people with reduced mobility, a motorhome waste disposal area and a laundry.

      We are committed to eco-responsible and sustainable tourism through several initiatives. For 10 years, we have been certified with the European Ecolabel and for 6 years, a member of 1% for the Planet.

      In 2023, we partnered with Fredon Nouvelle-Aquitaine for a plant assessment of our campsite and finalized our CSR approach. We are also committed locally as a responsible stakeholder, working towards a more sustainable region.

    This was our second time at the campsite, and we're still thrilled. It's a small, manageable, and reasonably priced site, very relaxed, lovingly designed, with very clean and modern sanitary facilities, and a super friendly young team. The location by the lighthouse is also lovely; it's a nice walk along the dike/causeway to the next larger town (St. Clement), and in the other direction, you can cycle for just under 2 km along great bike paths to a fantastic, seemingly endless beach (Conche des Balaines). In the off-season, it's also great for dogs on the beach, as they're perfectly tolerated. Okay, there isn't a proper shop on-site, and the dike/causeway means there's no sea view, but that's really nitpicking, and you can shop elsewhere. The island is small and has a perfect network of cycle paths. A big thank you to the team at Les Balaines; we'll definitely be back!
