Does anyone know where this is?

I once found it using the Camp Site Search on here but now can't even remember which region it was in.

I think the pool area has a huge galleon and lots of other piratey stuff

I know a little boy (OH aged 36!!) who would be very,very happy if I booked this for next year

Thanks guys

Hi,
Are you sure it was in France? only asking 'cos there is a campsite on the Adriatic coast in Italy which has a pirate ship in the pirate themed kids pool(my son is desperate to go there!). It's called Ca'Savio & if you go to Keycamp website you can watch a video (can't do links sorry). Hope this helps

I've seen this myself within the last few days, but like you - can't remember where! I'm pretty sure I was trawling through the campsite search on the Keycamp & Eurocamp websites so you might want to try there.

Let me know if you find it!

I have looked at it to, it is definitely the Vendee.
Is it Bahamas Beach?
Will do some investigating for you, I would like to look at myself for next year!

La Paillote campsite on Lake Souston in the Landes has one of these. We visited there last year. And I believe the company that took over the campsite is installing them on a lot of there sites. (Franceloc.com)

It was a nice site. We stayed in one of their Lodges overlooking the lake and the kids loved it. However, I believe that some of the lakeside tent/caravan pitches which were opposite us have now been replaced with more statics. Not sure how this looks now. Pool area is lovely and the nearby beaches, although very rough (surfing country) are lovely. Also cycle hire beside site. We visited late June, so can't speak for high season.

I will help if I can. What would you like to know? Can't comment on toilets /wash facilities as we didn't use them but there are some changes/upgrading taking place, eg pool area. There is a fairly decent restaurant on site but menu a little restricted while we were there. Some low key entertainment which was quite pleasant. Mainly french on site at the time, with some Dutch/German and a scattering of english/Scot/Irish. Keycamp are the only tour operator and are at the back of the site. Apparantly there was an area away from the site where they had some entertainment for teeagers (high season only). Some nice lakeside pitches while we were there. Good spot for windsurfing/canoeing and they have a few for rent on site.
