Imagine yourself in a historical place on this castle camping site near the Atlantic Ocean. A swimming paradise with sauna, hammam, Jacuzzi, massages and face cares, fitness area and solarium and the many organised activities will ensure a top holiday on Camping Séquoia Parc. The camping site is situated in the French Charente-Maritime region, renowned for its large number of sun hours per year. The beach of Marennes in its sheltered bay is only 5 km away from the camping site.

When you arrive at the camping site, it feels like you are standing in an authentic village. The historical courtyard, the castle La Josephtrie and the adjacent farm buildings create a wonderful atmosphere. The green plants on the camping site complete the picture.

The camping pitches, measuring an average of 140 m2, are very spacious. The pitches are mostly separated by hedgerows and they all have electricity. Rental accommodation is also available on the camping site.

Swimming paradise and lots of entertainment

The camping site has a large water park of no less than 200 m2. There are five swimming pools, three of which are heated. In the swimming paradise you will find slides, play equipment and a exciting Lazy River where you get carried along on an inflatable tyre by the current.

Oysters and Cognac

From the camping site you can make some lovely culinary excursions. Marennes, only 5 km away from the camping site, is the oyster capital of Charente-Maritime. So, if you like oysters, you just have to enjoy this sea delicacy at a pavement cafe. A bit further inland lies Cognac, famous for its alcoholic beverage. You can go on a guided tour in several cognac houses and round this off with a testing session.

Liked - Pool is amazing! Beautiful campsite. Great kids club.
Disliked - No WiFi working. I paid for it but it never worked. Extremely slow, had to sit inside the info point.
Staff didn’t have enough English plus were slow and unhelpful!
“Lifeguards’ at the pool should be on duty and not just checking towels and giving out to people if their child was unsupervised for 2 minutes. (Kids do sneak away from their parents, that’s why life guards are important)
Restaurant was a joke! Service was extremely slow considering there was hardly anyone there. However, Food was excellent!!
Evening entertainment was poor.

5.8

Travelling party: Family with children, 4 – 12 years

Liked - The setting is beautiful and the flowers particularly are lovely.
Disliked - The mercenary nature of the park; the (lack of) customer service. The exorbitant fees for a visitor - even just for someone to come and meet you for a coffee.

BUT MAINLY:
My aunt and uncle arrived to visit for lunch. I was asked to sign them in by the security guard. I forgot, but as I knew you had my credit card details AND plot number, I wasn’t too worried. However, CHRISTOPHE (reception) stormed down at 22h00 to our chalet and was EXTREMELY rude about it. I was VERY upset and WE WILL NOT BE RETURNING TO SEQUOIA PARC. Disgraceful behaviour.

Travelling party: Family with children, 12 - 18 years

Liked - Very overpriced considering the facilities/pool area’s are so over subscribed.
Disliked - Only managed to use the vastly overcrowded pool and sun beds once! This was not an issue 3 years ago on our first visit.
Showers very poor for regulating temperatures, but modern and clean.
