Camping La Côte Sauvage (Mathes)

 Whether you're a water rat or prefer lounging by the pool, this water park is the beating heart of the campsite.  Inside you will find a 200 m² heated indoor pool, with a paddling pool for the little ones, a soothing running river and relaxation benches to take a break. Outside, it's one big water party: a spectacular pool with five slides, including a tire slide, aquatube and pentaglisses.

Children prefer to go down the children's slide a hundred times in a row, while adolescents see the pool as the place to meet up. There's even a separate water playground with fountains, buckets and sprinklers, perfect for endless water fights.

And as if that weren't enough, you can walk right from your accommodation onto the beach. Really, flip-flops on, towel along, and you're feet in the sand. The bay of Bonne Anse is calm, ideal for young children. Older kids can surf or SUP at the surf school, within walking distance of the campsite.

From crafts with the little ones to beach volleyball with teenagers, the entertainment clubs are perfectly tailored to every age. For children ages 4-13, there are creative workshops, dance parties and fun sports activities every day. Teens (14-17 years old) have their own club with a cool chaperone who makes sure no one feels left out of the group.

In the evening, the campsite écht comes alive. We danced in the foam, laughed at a magic night and even did an evening of karaoke (tip: let your teens choose, success guaranteed!).

Sports enthusiasts get their fill at the new gym overlooking the bay or at the street workout park. You can take part in aquafit, yoga on the beach, or just enjoy a bike ride through the pine forest.

Are you in the mood for something tasty? The restaurant serves everything from fresh salads to savoury seafood dishes, and the snack bar is ready for a quick bite. Don't forget to visit the sweet corner, the churros are a favourite with kids! At the campsite shop you can get fresh bread, a newspaper and everything you need for a relaxing day in the morning.

La Palmyre is a surprisingly diverse destination. Just 3 km from the campsite is the famous La Palmyre Zoo – one of the largest zoos in Europe. Kids stand here open-mouthed watching the giraffes and sea lions.

Fancy some action? The Coubre forest, right next to the campsite, is theé place for bike rides, hikes or a climbing forest adventure. The Coubre lighthouse is a 15-minute bike ride away and gives you a panoramic view of the ocean. A nice reward after 300 steps!

In Royan (17 km) you can stroll along the promenade, shop or enjoy an ice cream at the port. And those who love markets can indulge in Les Mathes or at the evening markets by the sea.

Do you prefer to get out on the water? Then book a surf lesson at Loulou Surf School or go on a sea expedition by boat. Eating tapas at sunset after a surf session? Unforgettable!
