We visited Camping Les Chouans 11 years ago and had a good time so decided to return in 2023, 2024 and now 2025. Over the course of the last 3 years we have seen the site gradually change with the âClico Chicâ takeover. We loved the pool now itâs been re-done. Some of the things we enjoyed over the previous two years were not available this year and so unfortunately we wonât be returning next year. Having said that, this is an excellent site if you want a) a pool that has slides and is not too deep for young children, b) family friendly fun such as dancing in the pool or c) a good base to explore local areas and beaches in St-Gilles-Croix-de-Vie of Saint-Jean-de-Monts (both are lovely!)||Some of the changes we were disappointed with:|English-style swimming trunks/shorts no longer allowed. We had to shell out âŹ25 on the first day for the boxer/brief style fitted trunks at the local supermarket. |No camping pitches anymore - all different types of cabins instead so it can feel a little squashed at times, whereas the tent pitches dotted around have the illusion of more space.|With the removal of camping pitches came the removal of the shower block. Yes, all cabins have showers but when 4 or 6 people are sharing, it was handy to send a few to the shower block to enable a quicker turnaround!|In 2024 we were able to arrive on a Saturday and leave on a Wednesday - now all arrivals and departures are Saturday only.|We were also able to rent a bbq for 2 days in 2024 which gave us some variety in cooking- no longer available in 2025. We were told at check in that we could be put on a waiting list but we would have to rent it for the entire week and after we were put on the waiting list, we never heard anything. ||Weâll take a break elsewhere next year and keep an eye on how the site changes over the next few years. Maybe we will return, but not in the...
   Read moreExcellent site. The only criticism I have is the welcome talk was in French. Luckily my partner is French so could translate otherwise I would have had no clue about kids clubs etc... there were German guests and British there so maybe a British welcome evening would be advantageous. Again the site is advertised as English speaking kids clubs but they spoke a bit of English to our kids but mainly in French and they didnât like it as didnât understand. They found the amount of children in the club a bit much. They only went once. Our eldest though loved the day out with his club to the feeling forest. It was worth the 18 Euro extra. All entertainment also in French so didnât go much. The space for entrainment was a bit cramped too. The camp itself is lovely and safe and lots to do for the kids and they loved renting bikes for the week. Unfortunately you are told to leave your shoes outside the pool on a public pathway and our eldest sons haviana flip flops got stolen! We then took our shoes in a bag into the pool. Apparently this has happened before so maybe this needs to be reviewed?! Lots to do locally and lots of cycle paths to enjoy. Overall we loved our stay and the kids loved the pool. The slides and lazy river were a bonus. All staff very helpful and friendly. Excellent...
   Read morePour commencer nous confirmons le ressenti de certaines personnes. Le camping pourrait descendre dâune ou deux Ă©toiles. Pour rĂ©fĂ©rence nous avons fait les biches Ă 1 ou 2 km lâannĂ©e derniĂšre et pour 4* il Ă©tait superieur en beaucoup de points. La piscine est belle mais uniquement pour les enfants car peu profonde, les gens viennent « rĂ©server » les transats au matin (les biches en ont beaucoup plus donc il y en a assez avec une piscine intĂ©rieur et 3 bassins)
Il manque pas mal de matĂ©riel en arrivant dans le mobil home que nous devons rĂ©clamer. Cela dit, une fois rĂ©clamĂ©, câest arrivĂ© en express Le restaurant ne devrait pas porter la mention restaurant mais plutĂŽt snacking Ă©tant donnĂ© la qualitĂ© des repas assez moyen (encore une fois les biches Ă©taient au dessus) Le patron du bar (le plus jeune) nâest pas trĂšs souriant contrairement Ă son collĂšgue plus ĂągĂ©. Ils ont souvent lâair dĂ©bordĂ© et effectivement une vodka red bull sans Red Bull (crazy tiger : sous marque) Les soirĂ©es sont difficiles Ă apprĂ©cier, en gĂ©nĂ©ral les tables sont prises dâassaut. Beaucoup restent debout. Les toilettes sont trĂšs sales Ăa manque dâanimation pendant la journĂ©e. Le wifi est payant et vraiment nul (sauf au bar oĂč il est gratuit et de bonne qualitĂ©). Pas plus de deux utilisateurs par code fourni (nous sommes 4) Un congĂ©lateur a la supĂ©rette pour des produits surgelĂ©s serait le bienvenu. Au passage la caissiĂšre est extraaaaa sympa elle coche toutes les cases en relation client. Idem pour la jeune fille de lâaccueil et les maĂźtres nageur
Les stores du mobil home un peu rouillĂ©s et les « portes pare vue » (ce qui est une idĂ©e gĂ©niale) grincent. En dehors de ça le mobil home est propre et accueillant, lâemplacement est large on pourrait y mettre deux voitures et la terrasse couverte est top. On notera juste les accoudoirs de chaise un peu cassĂ©s, les rideaux trouĂ©s au niveau des attaches et ces petites pointes de pins qui traĂźnent partout et que lâon ramasse sous les chaussures. Ne pas se balader Ă pied nus car quand ça rentre, ça fait un mal de chien. Nous sommes quand mĂȘme trĂšs proche dâun autre mobil home avec vis Ă vis sur les terrasses et que ce soit chambre, toilettes, salon ou cuisine, une fenĂȘtre donne sur lâemplacement tente Ă moins dâun mĂštre malgrĂ© un brise vue qui arrive en dessous de la fenĂȘtre (un peu inutile)
Le personnel est trĂšs accueillant et toujours souriant et ça câest un vrai bon point. La location de vĂ©lo directement au camping est une bonne chose aussi. On a apprĂ©cier le petit sac pour le recyclage, le dynamisme des Ă©quipes, la propretĂ© de la piscine et des mobil home, la grandeur du terrain de pĂ©tanque, le vigile qui fait bien son mĂ©tier le soir vis Ă vis des ados (prĂ©vient le bruit)
Un camping oĂč repos pour les plus ĂągĂ©s et piscine pour les enfants. Il faut ĂȘtre senior ou moins de 10 ans pour apprĂ©cier tout ce quâil a Ă offrir. Nous avons plutĂŽt passĂ© un bon sĂ©jour mais les activitĂ©s Ă©taient surtout extĂ©rieures.
En espĂ©rant que vous travaillerez sur ces points pour les prochains vacanciers, lâannĂ©e prochaine nous repartirons tout de mĂȘme aux biches et son...
