Why stay here ...

Set on the borders of the Brière National Park and overlooking the sea, Les Iles is a lively campsite with lots going on in high season. The heated outdoor pool complex has a water slide and whirlpool, organised entertainment takes place in the daytime and evenings, and adults can enjoy a relaxing massage at Chalet Zen, the onsite spa.

Off peak, the site is popular with couples and the facilities are kept open. Pitches vary in size and those with larger caravans and motorhomes are advised to book well in advance to ensure an adequately sized pitch.

The site has direct access to cliff-top trails and it’s possible to walk to the islands at low tide. Carnac, famous for its standing stones and oyster farming, is an hour’s drive, while a little over an hour to the south-east is Nantes, one of France’s culinary centres.

Disappointed to say the least

Les Iles
Arrived 6th September after travelling from a lovely site in Pontorson with friends. On arrival it looked like the site was closed for winter. Had to wait an hour for reception to open so we could check in. Receptionist was not very helpful and provided no information about the site or facilities other than handing out a leaflet in French. We were given pitches 26 & 27 opposite the facilities block. Pitches are so narrow our small two Berth van was touching the hedge on one side and our sun canopy the other hedge as they are completely overgrown and in need of cutting back, we are so close to the neighbours we can almost hear them breath. All the facilities were closed for the winter but there was no mention of this on arrival so no food or drink available. When we asked about WiFi we were told that because we were on the pitches allocated to us we would have to pay 5 euro per device per day which is completely outrageous in my opinion. Glad we are only here for three nights before moving on to La Rochelle.

Disappointed - access VERY tight & small pitches

Les Iles
Been caravanning in France for 13 years so think we're pretty experienced and open minded...however have been very disappointed with this site (August visit).. some of which the C&MH Club have not made clear on their website: - entrance and exit barriers are very, very tight, our van is 2.23m wide - not sure how we'll get out yet without damaging van (Motorhomers - beware!!) - most pitches are very small so you are VERY close to your neighbours, even with hedged pitches (can touch next doors van out of the window). We only have lightweight curved awning and not able to put up guy ropes as not enough width. You wouldn't be able to put up a full awning. - can be very difficult to drive through site and pitch van without a motormover as vehicles are parked along grass verges making access/turning tricky (thankfully we do have a mover) - banging very loud Euro-pop music from entertainment until gone midnight - no bakery/shops etc nearby to cycle to get bread etc in mornings as campsite shop never open. - no restaurant in the eves - but from the Google reviews prob not a bad thing! - probably most suitable for small 4 berth vans, transporter size campervans or tents - on the beach but it is a working mussels farm - better beaches a short walk along coast path - for us, we would probably really enjoy this site out of season, too crowded and noisy in August (as long as we didn't have access issues). (For info: we always come over in August so have experienced many different French sites inc Chadotel)

This site we like a lot, we took a sea view, extra €10 for 2 nights, the only down side is the barriers are to narrow, towing a 7.28 mte caravan was the tightest within inches of the barrier, car was scrapping the bushes coming in, coming out was just as bad, the pitches are only small, about 6mtes wide, other than that its a very nice site, good walks on the beach, ken and june caravaner Liverpool.

Disappointed in Les Iles, Penestin

Les Iles

Booked this site for 8 nights. First night we discovered that a group of some 35/40 people (other than campers) were staying for weekend. First night they were very noisy (until 3 AM) we thought this was a one off. Next night, site had laid on a meal for them and a disco. Disco started at 11PM (very loud) and was still going at gone 12 PM. Management were clearly aware but seemed to accept situation. Fortunately the group left on next day, so things were quieter. Overall, the site seems to be turning more into a holiday camp rather than a normal type campsite. Issues with washroom and toilet cleaning and shop, bar and restaurant closed once the group had left. Pitches not well tended. Staff very friendly and helpful, but management seems clearly steering the site in a different direction. We left after 5 nights and shall not go there again. Many other sites locally, so will go to these in future ! This used to be a good site, but commerciality seems to have become more important than customer satisfaction !

Response from the Club:

The site has now been bought by the small Vendeen chain Chadotel and this is a family orientated organisation and will hopefully steer the site back in the right direction.

It was OPEN.

Les Iles

Motorhomers, over 60, no kids, as were most of the campers- site was full so something is right - beach is very close and great - reception closed 1200 - 1500 but if you have booked, your pitch number will be on the door so go on in - the fact that the site was open in all respects if a little depleted in stock at the shop and a bit short of staff - typical end of season but a good site - can imagine it being a bit manic with families on site - so us oldies can go when the schools go back, purrfect, pitches are sized when camping units where smaller but our 7.0 metre motorhome was fine.
