Camping in St Hilaire-de-Riez, Northern Vendee
St Hilaire de Riez is a charming little place, just a few kilometres south of St Jean de Monts and right next door to St Gilles Croix de Vie. This area is ideal for camping and mobile home holidays, and the town is at the heart of the Côte de Lumière in the Vendee.
The whole area around St Hilaire is suited to a camping holiday with the outskirts being surrounded by freshwater and saltwater marshes (as is a great deal of the Vendée). There are many opportunities for walks around St Hilaire, suitable for all types with small and large walking paths (including the Côte de Lumière) that cross the 600 hectare-wide maritime pine forest. This forest also includes a horse riding trail. The coastal path allows you to walk along the entire 12 kilometre coastline from Sion sur l'Océan to the Demoiselles and get to the resort's nine supervised beaches (supervised in high season). Cycle tracks also abound in the area.
Camping Les Ecureuils is a small, friendly park located in St Hilaire de Riez and provides a relaxing atmosphere for your camping holiday.
 
There's a sandy beach just opposite the park whilst onsite there's a swimming pool complex with waterchute and indoor pool. There's a spacious sun terrace and a poolside bar.
