Camping Les Places Dorees
Camping Les Places Dorees is a large, lively park in Saint-Jean-de-Monts in the Vendée. Its heated water park is the big draw, with four family slides and a covered pool. Toddlers get their own splash playground. The beach is under 1 km away.
The aquatic area is heated and has a large outdoor pool with a bubble bench. A covered pool stays open all summer, so wet weather need not stop swimming. Sunloungers line the pool terraces. Adults can slip away to the sauna or steam room.
The bar restaurant serves daily specials and regional dishes. A takeaway counter does burgers and pizzas, while the snack spot by the pool sells ice creams and crêpes. You can pre-order fresh bread a day ahead. In July and August the evenings bring live shows and karaoke.
Pine forest wraps around the park, with car-free paths leading to the beach. Bikes can be hired on site. Saint-Jean-de-Monts is 3.8 km away, so a car is recommended. Day trips reach Noirmoutier and the Île d'Yeu, while Puy du Fou is 109 km away.
