Why stay here ...

This small family run site is only 200 metres from the attractive village of Vaux sur Mer, perfect for the market and eating out. It’s quiet in low season, becoming livelier in the summer months when it offers a kids’ club and evening entertainment. Nauzan Plage is 1km away and is a sheltered cove that provides a safe place for children to play.

The staff are pleasant and helpful, and keep the facilities clean throughout the season. Although limited, they include a shop and restaurant and provisions can be found in nearby Vaux-sur-Mer. It’s worth noting that although the campsite allows dogs, the local beaches do not.

There’s a daily market at Vaux-sur-Mer, which is a lovely place to pick up food or simply stroll around. Further on are Royan and the Planet Exotica Zoo, both of which make for a good day out. Those wishing to travel further afield can visit the Cognac vineyards, an hour’s drive from the site.

Dog poo on pitch

Le Val Vert
First impressions not great. Lady in reception nattering to friend which after a long drive is not what you need. Husband sitting waiting patiently in motorhome at gate with air con on in cab as warm and dog was panting whilst i was despatched to book in - when receptionist finally turned her attention to an arriving guest she tutted at us having the engine running outside - would have said something about customer service and heat but French not that good. Most expensive site i have stayed at for having a dog with us which I would not have minded but the stench of dog poo as we got to our severely tight pitch was overpowering. There was dog poo all over one side of the pitch so we had to put the motorhome over the mess in order to put the awning up on the cleaner side. Facilities okay - quite a walk to beach if hot but some beautiful places along the coast line. Wouldn't stay again - due to dog poo on pitch and the tightness of the pitches - they really did cram you in You get one chance and this site blew it - my husband was heaving.

Needs refinement......

Le Val Vert
Firstly, the staff at the campsite do not speak any English at all. Secondly, the campsite does not provide any toilet roll in any of the sanitary blocks, so do not get caught out (no pun intended) We stayed here for 7 nights in mid June and it was a very quiet campsite. The pitches vary in size, but we picked a very good sized pitch which had plenty of sunlight available. From what we saw, most pitches had a slope of some variety. There are plenty of standpipes available for getting water from. There are 2 toilet blocks, one near the pool and one towards the back end of the campsite. The second block was only partially open and there were enough facilities, but I would imagine it can get very busy in peak season. The pool is adequate for the size of site and is a decent enough depth. The facilitilies for emptying your chemical toilet are a bit primitive. There is basically a 6 inch diameter pipe that comes out of the ground by the toilet blocks. Basically, unscrew the lid and pour empty your toilet into it......check your aim if you are wearing flipflops. Breakfast is available everyday at reception from 9am. The Nuazan beach is around a 1 mile walk away although there is a steep hill involved, but there are alternative ways of getting there. There is a supermarket (Intermarche) around 1 mile from the site which also has fuel. The entrance to the campsite is quite steep which is not a problem entering the site, but when leaving the site it will give your clutch a good workout at the top. There are miles and miles and miles of segregated cycle paths in the area. It is easy to cycle to Palais Sur Mer, Palmyre Zoo, Phare du Coudron, Tremblade to name but a few.

Green not sandy!

Le Val Vert
Lovely campsite with friendly welcome laid on by the hosts. This was in French but we got most of it. Felt that the pictures were a bit misleading - beach is about 15 min walk. Also in middle of local houses, although this also means that its only 5 mins from the small town with its market and other useful shops. Park behind with link from the site, although clearer signing to get into it would be useful! Didn't use the restaurant but heard some praise and others not.

Dogs not allowed on beaches

Le Val Vert
Lovely little site with good facilities & extremely helpful staff. At time of staying no shop or bar/snacks open. Very disappointed after a half hr walk to the beach in 30 degree heat that dogs not allowed on the beach at all. Walked back to site & hosed them off . For this reason only would not pick this town again.

Lovely site but I've only given 4 star overall as we camped in high season mid august. Camp full to bursting and we struggled to get on and off our pitch with a caravan. To be fair we were right at the very end of the site in a really tight place. Overall the site once a bit emptier was lovely. Showers and toilets very clean and good. Vaux sur mer daily market very good and a lovely park running alongside the site. Beware because of stream and ponds running between the site and the park mosquitos are out in abundance at night. All in all a very clean and friendly site, staff very helpful.
