Hi lou bee thx for the info on the park. i wish thay would tell us more in the book thay gave us. can you tell me what the drive down there was like, and was it easy to get to. many thx shreko......... oops its 9days not 7days

Hi again,

    I thought the drive down was really easy but then I don't drive hubby did it all!! He was not keen when I booked & wouldn't (& still won't) entertain Dover to Calais, but he found it easy ,the roads were quiet compared to what we are used to here -A30 Cornwall  in the summer hols!We used a Tom Tom Go but also printed off maps from Michelin & they were fine. The site was well signposted & we had no trouble finding it. It took about 5 hours with a couple of short stops. If there is anything in particular you want to know about the site let me know & i'll try to help. We would definately go back but I don't think our tent would fit on all of the pitches don't think this would be a problem so long as they know when you book.All the facilities of the quieter site over the road are available to use & that was also very nice , when I phoned Haven said they were no longer taking tourers/tents over the road.

   Can't wait for next summer Vendee here we come!!

Hi shreko,

I have stayed in le Bois Masson 3 times, mainly because kids love it (9,13 & 17) and picked it the 2nd and 3rd times.

Make sure that the pitch you get is big enough as there are some small pitches there.

Drive down is fine, its mostly motorway standard to Nantes and toll free, takes about 5 hours with stops.

Nice bakery, bar, takeaway and restaurent onsite too.

Never found site too noisy as site security people were excellent. Gates close to cars around 11pm, but Haven will leave keys out if you arrive later.

Bicycles are useful too, as the beach is about 2 km away, loads of other cycle paths there too. I must have cycled around 200 km this year.

Great Bars close by that show all Soccer matches too.

Hi,

I've just tried booking le bois masson, unfortunately they are fully booked for our two weeks the beginning of August, wife isnt happy because she told me to book it three weeks ago, can anyone else suggest any other sites in the area that are along the same lines, ive looked at Le Clarys Plage but it doesnt look like I can book in advance any ideas would be greatly appreciated to save me major grief, as I've already booked the ferry

Thanks

Daz

Hi shreko,

We have stayed st le Bois Masson 3 times and loved it, once you are not beside the bar, the campsite is great. Security is very good and they maintain control at night.

Facilities are good onsite too, with plenty of English spoken. If you need any moe info, let me know.

Joe
