In August we stayed at La Pointe St Gilles in Brittany, some of the elements we loved was the proximity to the beach, a beautiful town area nearby (Benodet), and the water park, epecially the slides for the kids. However we did not feel the service was very good, the pitches were cramped, it was very busy and commercial, often noisy at night and our tent was constantly illuminated by a security light.

I was wonderering if anyone could recommend a site for us, I have done numerous searches and cant seem to find a hapy medium! I suppose our list of wishes would include, pool with slides, town nearby, close to beach, drive up to around 4hrs from ferry port, and somewhere a little less commercial!

Its no wonder I cant find what we are looking for is it! Sorry to seem picky sometimes small things can make such a difference, i so want to choose the right place, maybe I'm over thinking things! What do you think?

It's funny you mention Bordeaux as we've found a lovely looking site called Panorama Du Pyla, and its just the drive that's putting us off! about 6 1/2 hours according to multimap. I suppose if we planed a stop over it wouldn't be too bad?  

Might start looking a bit further inland also!

I hope the photo works you can just about see the troublesome light, its a street light style one, which they said they couldn't do anything about, as it was for security reasons, the entrance was just the other side of the fence on the left. They refused to move us, we had no choice over pitch in the first place and said we could leave early but wouldn't get any refund. In the end we opened up our roof box to stop some of it from shining directly into our bedroom compartment.
