La Garangeoire reviews

La Garangeoire is by far the best campsite we have ever stayed on. We went for 2 weeks in July and mostly had nice weather throughout. The facilities were second to none and even though the campsite was full it was always lovely and clean, toilets and shower blocks plentiful and spotless. It's location is inland from the coast but local beaches were only a short distance away. Les Sables beach was delightful and usually quiet up to 3pm (ish). There was ample to do on the site that kept the children constantly busy and entertained. They loved the horse riding, swimming, football camp, table tennis, basketball and the Thomson kids club - I even got to read 4 books which is usually unheard of on our past family holidays! Can understand why other reviews suggest there is not much in the evening for teenagers, but our eldest two still loved it - think they had zapped most of their energy from the day events. The staff on the campsite are really friendly people who surprisingly speak perfect English. We stayed in a Thomson Al Fresco mobile home which was on a large peaceful pitch set back from the main site facilities. The mobile was new and modern with decking and a outdoor heater for staying out in the late evenings. We only got to use it twice as the evenings tended to be a pleasant temperature.

To summarise the campsite facilities are first class and entertainment fantastic! If you need any further proof we never go anywhere twice, but we were that impressed we have booked again for next year .

My family and myself visited the Vendee for the 3rd time as a family in late June and decided to stay in a more countryside location for 11 days at La Garangeoire. It was excellent weather although I believe even the UK was scorching too, typical timing hey! We stayed in a static caravan and booked with Keycamp. We would certainly recommend Keycamp as the holiday reps where very helpful and we did our research before hand and discovered they offer a soccer school at the campsite, which both my sons loved.

The location of the campsite is very picturesque and well away from the hustle and bustle of the coastal campsites which myself and my man have stayed at before but much prefer the life and scenery at Garangeoire campsite. It has three beautiful lakes which are great for canoeing and one lake has lots of fish for keen fishing if you like that sort of thing. We hired a car, which I would recommend if your not going in your own as it’s much easier to get to the beaches and quaint towns along the coast. If you have youngsters that are very energetic then this is definetly the best site in the Vendee area! At first we wasn’t sure about staying here due to it being away from the coastal areas but it worked out to only be 15 minutes away from the beaches and less than 10 to a supermarket. .

This campsite was Grand! Fantastic countryside location with a great pool, nice restaurant and even my tootsie joined in with the diving lessons. The views are literally breathtaking! We went in the kids holidays and only really saw couples and families with small littl’ns, not many teens although I guess their isn’t as much for them to do here. Tons of stuff for younger families though, and would highly recommend it! Very flash campsite!

This is a very lovely campsite, maintained really well and kept very clean. The static mobile pitches are very spacious, we stayed with Eurocamp but the Thomson al Fresco mobiles seemed to have better placements. We took our 11 year old son and 9 year old niece. I would suggest this campsite is aimed around kids no older than 13 with plenty of fun activities and lots of kids clubs available. There wasn’t many activities for teenagers, and the scarce few that where there only hung out at the pool in the day and vanished at night. The cycle hire is very cheap at 8 euro’s a day and there are some cracking routs along the lakes. A brilliant location and a fabulously kept campsite, a must for young families!

Excellent facilities and very, very clean, staff extremely friendly and would go out of their way to help as much as they can, not much evening entertainment apart from an occasional group performing at the bar, wonderful woodland setting with fantastic cycling routes and walks, Côte de Lumière is a must visit, in summary this is our best holiday to France so far.
