Quiet out of season.
La Yole St Jean de Monts
We stayed here for 7 night nights in April/May and liked the site very much. We arrived a couple of minutes before reception closed for lunch but the young lady on reception quickly checked us in and allocated us our pitch. That was great but unfortunately the pitch was waterlogged as was the approach and was unacceptable and so the hour gained was then lost whilst we awaited her return from lunch. It did allow us time to select a pitch of our choosing however and that was readily allocated to us without a problem. The manager even cut the grass for us beforehand. Pitches are of a good size with full services and delineated with shrubs and trees.
We didn’t use the toilet/shower facilities as we prefer to use our own but they appeared well maintained and clean.
There are a large number of static caravan/chalets across the site as with many Continental sites. We were one of only 4 units that weren’t French, and the only Brits at this early point in the season.
There are various entertainments for families including an excellent games and play area and the extensive pool facilities are excellent and were operating and heated despite it being early in the season and the long period of cool, wet weather that preceded our visit.
The beaches here are the main attraction and the town of St. Jean de Monts has a very long and attractive promenade from which to enjoy them. We drove north to Pornic and south to St.Gilles Croix-de-Vie both of which were interesting fishing ports to visit.
We would be happy to return.
