If you love fresh mussels and oysters, you've come to the right place at Camping Au Port-Punay. And you'll easily find the necessary relaxation on the beach (only 200 metres away), in the charming villages on the Atlantic coast and the large campsite swimming pool with comfortable loungers. The campsite is located between the city of La Rochelle and near the charming fishing village of Les Boucheleurs. The village is known for its oysters and mussels. This is reflected on the menus of most of the restaurants in this area.

Up in the air

Camping Au Port-Punay has put up inventive lodge tents on the campsite. These tents are on stilts of 1.20 metres high, and you access them via stairs. Inside you'll find all you need for a relaxed, comfortable holiday.

Camping Au Port-Punay naturally also welcomes campers who bring their own equipment. There is also a camper service station where you can refresh your water. You will get a free token for this service point for each stay.

Plenty of cooling down

Because the beach is only 200 metres away, you can easily reach the beach for a refreshing dip, to build a sand castle or play a great round of beach volleyball. The water on the Atlantic coast can be a bit cold, especially at the beginning and end of the summer. The campsite swimming pool can remedy that. There is a separate section for the little campers and plenty of space around the pool to enjoy the warm summer sun.

Detail information about this campsite

Availability

Inspected annually

"Pleasant family campsite with predominantly still real camping plots, partly under high trees on 150 m from the sea. Perfect sanitary facilities and spacious plots. Charming little fishing village, very suitable as a starting point for a visit to the islands of Ré and Aix. Located between the historic and tourist towns of La Rochelle and Rochefort. Châtelaillon and its surroundings are very good to explore by bike."

Brilliant campsite with the loveliest and friendliest staff.

Very busy in early September, we only just managed to get a pitch after calling five times the day before and the morning we were arriving - our persistence paid off though!

Great location - you can walk to Châtelaillon-Plage in 30 mins approx and it’s along a flat path. Two minutes outside of the campsite gate there are also 3 or 4 bars/restaurants. Bus stop just outside the gate which takes you to La Rochelle, 2 people and the bus takes about 50 minutes.

Close proximity to the beach as well.

Swimming pool heated which is a bonus with plenty of beds around the pool area. Only downside is that it closes from 1-2pm, not really sure why!

Whilst we were there we had a torrential rainstorm and the pitches got really muddy.

Toilets, showers and pot-washing etc good.

The bar area is really nice - we didn’t eat there but had a few drinks and again, really friendly and helpful staff. Small shop for the essentials and you can order bread of course!

Travelling party: Family with children, 12 - 18 years

Liked - This is our 5th stay with only COVID preventing us visiting for the last 2 years. This year we stayed in one of the premium accommodations and it was well worth the additional money. Staff, as usual, very welcoming and the ground staff keep the site tidy and clean. Great location for exploring and close to beaches and restaurants if you don’t want to cook although food on the site is excellent. Counting down to next year.
Disliked - Wished we’d stayed longer

Travelling party: Family with children, 4 – 12 years

Liked - Loved the vibe of the campsite. Well organised. Onsite food and drink option welcomed. Pool was fantastic - we even appreciated the break between 1 and 2 for cleaning. Excellent time.
Disliked - Each time a family left a plot, the grounds people would rake over the ground and whip up loads of dust. This was a daily occurrence for us as the campsite is quite transient. Maybe an idea to just put a small spray of water down to limit dust?
Seemed really strange and unhygenic not to have soap dispensers by the basins outside the toilet blocks.

Travelling party: Family with children, 4 – 12 years

Liked - All staff are friendly and welcoming, site is constantly kept clean, pitches are a generous size. Campsite is just a very short walk away from the beach and some restaurants. Bus stop nearby to catch the bus to La Rochelle (check timetables though as not all buses return to Les Boucholeurs). Can also follow the coastal path to the centre of Chatelaillon Plage (30/40 minutes walk) or can cycle. This was our third stay at Port Punay and will be returning in 2023.
