Parc Highlights

  • Enjoy the short walk to the beautiful Plage de Pont Yeu

  • A small and quiet parc to relax and enjoy the sunshine

  • Visit St Jean de Monts for excellent restaurants and bars

An excellent choice when you want to be able to combine relaxation with discovering the many interesting towns nearby.

Camping la Forêt is a pleasant parc with a friendly, family atmosphere and good facilities. The pool area is quaint, with its small fountain and lovely sunbathing terrace, which is the ideal place to laze in the sun while the children enjoy the heated pools. And when you’re ready for the long, sandy beach, you’ll find it just a short stroll away down a path through the pine forest. There are plenty of other beaches nearby too, some sandy and sheltered, while others have small coves and rock pools. For a little more excitement, you can visit St. Jean-de-Monts to the south, with its excellent range of restaurants, and you’ll find the attractive resort of Notre-Dame-de-Monts just a couple of kilometres away.
