Hi, just checked and PP has two EV charging points.
We have stayed nearer the coast in the Vendee but as mentioned you will not get such a decent sized pitch.
We know from experience that often the appeal of the pools, and other children, has a often greater draw with children than days on the beach and PP was ideal for this but with the beach not far away.
The nearest town Bretignolles Sur Mer is attractive and has a pedestrianised Main Street which is great when herding small children!
As mentioned Puy du Fou is not too far and is well worth a visit, we went with daughter, husband their three young children and two older teenagers staying with us. Next day my daughter said the children could not stop talking about it and all agreed it was the best ever family day out.
It’s not cheap but very good value and a lot of sites, including PP, do discounted tickets. It is a huge place so pre planning, using tinternet, will pay off.
On arrival pick up an English language guide, in a display near the entrance, as theses are printed every day as timings can change.
Would advise going as early as you can, take plenty of food and drink and stay on to see the night time display on the lake which is quite magical.
Oh, and download the app.
If it sounds like we enjoyed our visit, in 2018, the next year we went with friends, stayed nearby and got three day tickets!

Hi,
We reguarly arrive in St Malo and then travel for 4-5 hours and then stop and have an adventure for a few days then travel on.
I would highly recommend these if you have kids/family and a caravan or trailer:
1) Stop off and visit Pay du Fou, we have stayed at a number of sites near it but our favourite is Camping du Vallee Poupet. It is by a river with a pool and if lovely (it's a bit hidden and relaxing)and only 10 mins from P d F. Pay du Fou is just awesome and I'm not into theme parks but it brings history alive.
2) Camp on the outskirts of Nantes (we chose Camping Belle Riviere) and visit Iles du Machine (you may need to pre-book the elephant and the carousel) Nantes has this amazing arts trail around the city and you can choose where you want to go and which bits to follow. This includes mueseums, castles, mirror pools, childrens play area's based on dragons, and wacky football pitches, the list is endless, Jules Verne mueseum.
3) Marais poitevin, or France's green venice. It's a longer drive but completely relaxing, stay at the Venice Verte for easy access to hiring a barque and having a picnic on the side of the river.
One other tip and sorry if I am telling you to suck eggs, but before you travel check with Bison Fute https://www.bison-fute.gouv.fr/calendrier-bison-fute,10739.html that you are not travelling on a Black Saturday otherwise you may find yourself sitting in traffic for a long time.
Basically choose where you want to stop, google campsites and read the reviews, then make your choice.
Have fun
