Camping in Charente-Maritime
 The Charente-Maritime is one of four departments in western France which go to make up Poitu Charentes, as our link to a map of the area shows, and of those four departments it is the Charente-Maritime which is most visited by holidaymakers and those taking camping holidays.
The region faces the Bay of Biscay, Atlantic coast and the northern part of it joins the southern part of the Vendee. The Charente-Maritime boasts high levels of sunshine throughout the year and is home to some popular campsites!
The Royan area is where all of our campsites are located and it lies at the northern mouth of the river Gironde.The city of Rochefort lies between the two a little way inland. This region also takes in the Ile de Re and the Ile d'Oleron.
The town of Cognac, famous for the drink of the same name, lies to the south east of the department, so on your travels you can expect to come across quite a few vineyards dotted around.
To book any of our campsites in the Charente-Maritime region of France, select France and Gironde in the booking engine at the top of this page.
Most people opt to arrive into the port of Caen which leaves you with a drive of approximately 6-7 hours to your campsite. We always suggest that if you have a long journey, young children or an early/late ferry crossing you book into a hotel for the night.
