It's a lovely, natural site with good facilities, right next to the best sunset-viewing beach we know.
The shop and cafe were both unexpectedly closed.
Spacious, attractive pitch.
Bonjour Mme FRASER, Toute l'équipe du camping vous remercie pour votre note ! Nous sommes ravis que votre séjour se soit bien passé et que le camping vous ait plu. Concernant l'épicerie, ce service est assuré par une gérance extérieure du groupe, nous leur transmettrons votre remarque afin qu'ils puissent en tenir compte et améliorer leur service. Pour le bar il est en effet fermé depuis mi septembre. Au plaisir de vous revoir dans notre camping chadotel. L'équipe de la dune des sables

I came to have a quiet relaxing holiday but able to go out and about. I achieved all this where I was able to relax and swim on the site , plus I achieved a lot of walking and cycling in the surrounding area.
More information about events in the surrounding area.
Clean, tidy and well arranged accommodation.
Would have liked larger cups, a kettle and as there was no oven I would have liked an air fryer.
Hello Mr. Lodge, The entire campground staff would like to thank you for your review! We’re delighted that you had a wonderful stay. We have brochures about local events available right at the front desk. We do not provide kettles, as they cause the circuit breakers in the mobile homes to trip. We look forward to seeing you again at our Chadotel campground. The team at La Dune des Sables campground :)

Right next to the sea. Pool was lovely and warm. Pitch a good size.
More staff at reception needed. It took us nearly an hour to book in as there was only 1 person until nearly an hour had gone by. Facilities were closed.
Good to have our own facilities. 100 euro deposit was returned promptly with notification by email the same day we left.
Having to clean it ourselves. If you could put on the booking form at the time of booking that a 100 euros deposit will be required. I know it is in the small print but it's better to have it on the booking form.
Hello, Thank you very much for your feedback and for enjoying our beachfront location, the pool, and the size of your campsite. We apologize for the wait you experienced upon arrival. We have two staff members at the front desk, but during the off-season, there may be times when only one person is present. We understand that this wait may have been unpleasant, and we thank you for your patience. Regarding the €100 security deposit, this is clearly stated in the booking terms and conditions and in the information provided at the time of booking. We are nevertheless pleased that it was refunded promptly and that you received confirmation via email on the day of your departure. We look forward to welcoming you back! The team of la dune des sables : )

Lovely mobile in a perfect pitch. As it was end of season the site was very peaceful & the pool area not busy 😎
None!
The sea view & the kitchen area.
Some rusty hinges on cabinets, drawers difficult to open & close, needed a sharp knife. Nothing serious ☺️

Near beach
The music was far too loud till 1pm you could still hear it. Bought a hamburger for €14 waited 50 minutes and to get it back to the van the bun was stale and crumbling had to bin it. Rip off. Never bought any more food on site. On boiling days there was no ice left for drinks from bar..not 5 star service at all. Pool closed due to seaweed? impersonal atmosphere too corporate and the main thing no shelter. You need trees or some form of shelter over the play area. No children wanting to hang out as no shade. Everyone can see and hear everyone business not at all private. Sorry we won’t back
Ok small dusty section. Good water and electrics.

Pool is great, location near the beach is amazing, only a few minutes walk. Perfect site.
More activities like exercise classes
Comfortable and easy.

Perfect location on the beach and 10/15 mins cycle into the town. Facilities were very clean and of a good standard.
Quite a lively site with lots of late teens sat out on their pitches until 2/3am but not Too much bother and far enough away to not hear them. Always. Long queue at reception with only one staff member.
Pitch was ok. Decent enough size. Electricity supply was good.
Awkward to get into with a large vehicle without encroaching on someone else’s pitch.

View of the sea
Everything feels tired and poorly maintained. Massively overpriced.
Decent size.
No shade or shelter from the sun and wind on pitches.

Direct access to beautiful beach. Large bar and snack bar. It is a busy site with reasonable but not large pitches. Would return
Pitch wasn’t huge but ok.

Nicely close to the beach, helpful
Seemed to be more 'resort', longer term stays in campervans. A bit loud when you're trying to sleep in a tent.
Flat, and a little shade
Only a little shade, none in many pitches

This campsite is a lovely spot to have a chilled time away from the stresses and strains of normal life. The campsite is situated right on the coast with superb walks in either direction. If you cycle it is a fantastic base for exploring the Vendee coastline. The campsite itself is a lovely quiet site with a nice pool and bar area. There is also a small shop, restaurant and takeaway on hand for your basic provisions. A supermarket is within 5 minutes drive and the resort of Le Sables D'Olonne is just over 10 minutes drive away. We have just returned from a 2 week break at the campsite.
I don't really think there is a lot to improve. As UK holidaymakers, we disagree with other reviewers demanding more English to be spoken. You are on holiday in France! Make an effort to learn some basic French!!
Pristine, clean, superb air conditioning
Absence of a kettle

Very quiet when we visited with possibly 10 other vans and a handful of mobile homes occupied. The electricity was not working when we arrived however this was fixed later that evening. The staff in reception were very welcoming. The site is not located close to any shops within walking distance a Leclerc supermarket is a 5 minute drive. Bread and pastries can be ordered the night before. An easy drive into the town for shopping etc. Good access to the beach which is dog friendly and good pathways over the dunes or on designated walking area alongside the coastal road.
The campsite is exactly as described so no comments. The price per night reflects the private sanitary pitches.
During the bad weather it was great to have access to our own toilet, shower fridge and washing up area.
The pitch was not very well maintained compared to those pitches without private sanitary facilities. It was overgrown with weeds and not very pleasant to walk on or over. It was disappointing as we had paid extra for the private facilities and expected the pitch to be tidy. We ended up pulling up large weeds ourselves to pitch our awning and flooring and seating area.
Hello Ms MANNING, the whole team at the campsite would like to thank you for your review! We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay. We have taken note of your comments; your feedback helps us to improve our facilities. We look forward to welcoming you back to our Chadotel campsite.

Fantastic pitch & facilities. Great quality food from the snack bar. Friendly staff. Motorhome pitches very tranquil (early May visit). Stunning sunsets from West facing pitches & the beach which is minutes away.
Tranquil

Good access to beach
Good sized pitch. Lovely views. No issues with electricity supply.
Distance to fill up water. Need more water points.

Very close to the beach, great shower facilities, all very clean. Lovely swimming pool. Bouncy castle and park for the children was great. Laundry facilities good and efficient.
Service in the restaurant was not great. Long wait for our order, especially the dessert, no glasses brought for the wine, despite asking a few times - I had to go to the bar to ask for some myself. No cutlery brought with dessert and again didn't bring a spoon even when asked. Not much stock in the shop.
Pitch was quite small but fine for what we needed. Tent pegs went in easily unlike some other sites we had visited before.
