Last year we stayed just outside Royan at a site called Le Clos Fleuri in the village of Medis.
This was quite a quiet site with a modest pool but suited us fine.
You should be aware that in August this part of France is hideously busy. We've never experienced traffic in France like it, parking in town was a real challenge and sitting in queues to go anywhere took the gloss off what was otherwise a really great holiday.
The beaches on the Atlantic coast were quite wild with large waves, which may not be a problem with older children, and the beaches on the river estuary were inundated with jellyfish.
On the plus side Royan and the towns along the estuary were quite pleasant at night with great seafood restraunts and the zoo at La Palmyre is well worth a visit, just go early to avoid the traffic.

I can remember when this was all fields.
