In another post someone asked about sites in France which have extra large pitches.  Rather than hyjacking that post I thought I would start a new one.

La Garangeoire, St Julien des Landes, Vendee = Massive Pitches

Another vote for le Logis de Breuil in St Augustin Sur Mer. Huge pitches and a good choice of sun, shade or a bit of both.

Wishing you a fab holiday Andy R!

Not always! We booked La Garangeoire many months in advance, told them the size of our van and awning and then found on arrival that we had been allocated a tiny corner pitch, just near the toilet block, where we had great difficulty siting the van and could not possibly pitch the awning! We were a family party of seven, so had paid not just for the pitch but also per person, yet still we had this postage stamp pitch!

We had a walk around the site, witnessed tiny tents pitched on huge pitches and asked why management had given us such a ridiculously small pitch. We weren't alone either; another British family arrived at the same time as us, and also found they could not swing a proverbial cat on their pitch, hence we stood in line to ask for a move (which they wouldn't grant, said they had no other vacant pitches).

We had no option but to leave, but had to argue for refund of our payment, which had been settled in full prior to arrival.

We were very disappointed.

Our experience at Ty Nadan was quite the reverse, we had a lovely, spacious pitch with uninterrupted views of the river. I must admit though that some of the pitches nearer the pool and bar area were much smaller. Best to ask for the newer end of the site, much more open with larger pitches and new loos and showers.
