Really only go to Bel in that area its so convenient and the kids have regular guys who go back yr on yr, le bai de nuit is supposed to be good less structured
depending on what you want as theres only really a basic pool on both these and they tend to be UK/dutch dominated and quite busy School hols
both these are a 10 minute nice seafront walk to restaurants/town centre etc
the other sites in the area are supposed to all be good but ( and i know its a stupid thing to say) very french and further out again
Jard does have its own restaurant bar area close by but its a bit of a strip effect rather than a town centre , and it is possible to walk into la tranche in 30 mins or so.

We like this site and have been there 2 years running.
Walk to the beach, walk to Le Griere Plage , free (air-conditioned!) bus to Le Griere Plage, La Tranche and past. Go throughout the day.
Went to La Tranche beach but it was just 'busy' and much preferred the walk to one.
Play park is in the middle of the site - so no losing children with a playpark near the parking or the enterance. It is big (not ginormous) and is shaded.
The front 2 washblocks are quieter as they are more mobile homes there - so we visited these more. The one at the back is older and gets smelly just before being cleaned.
It has toilet tissue all day IN the toilets (none of this outside the toilet & decide how much you will need) and soap sometimes. Wash hand basins are also inside the same building, you will pass them when going back outside - so no excuse for children. Toilets have seats too.
Not many water taps on site.
We have hired a fridge and get an under-counter sized one with an ice box to keep the ice creams and ice blocks frozen.

one thing to mention is that the beaches near the site ( la Griere Plage ) is south west facing and the town beaches are south facing so all generally very flat and safe, even though if you want to swim it can be a walk to get deep enough at the town beach.
if you or anybody with you want a more normal beach to swim to body board or surf then la terrire which i just 2-3 kms round the coast is brilliant ( cafe/bar and surf school on beach) just a bit rougher.
all the beaches and car parks get very packed on the weekends up until the 15th august.
Fire works on the 14th are brilliant
I'm in town 26th -14th

14th August.
Usually the buses show on screens the times of the free showings of music/ fireworks etc and there details.
If watching from la Griere Plage at night you can see the ones from the Island opposite and the main ones at the main beach at Le Tranche. Beach is COLD - think English autumn. You can JUST get your car back before the barrier shuts at the campsite.
Last summer there was an entertainer who was a fire eater - heard about it as we don't do entertainment stuff.

. We're off on 7th August , can't wait, although it apparently the last time my daughter is coming with us (so she says, she's 17) so it'll be the end of an era holiday 
Andy, are the fireworks on 14th July or 14th August?
