Camping Brandais

A human-scale campsite 800 metres from the ocean

Camping Le Brandais is located on rue du Sablais in Brem-sur-Mer, in the immediate vicinity of the Atlantic Ocean. Its uniqueness lies in its intimate scale: human-sized, the establishment favours conviviality and a family spirit over the scale of a large tourist complex. The park spans a bright, unspoilt setting typical of the Vendée coast, with pitches shaded by maritime pines and Mediterranean trees. Accommodation ranges from contemporary mobile homes to more spacious versions for large families, laid out to preserve everyone’s privacy. This human scale lets holidaymakers quickly feel at home and partly explains why regulars keep coming back. Open for a shorter season centred on the fine weather, from 7 May to 30 August 2026, the campsite holds a rating of 8.8/10 across nearly 800 customer surveys, a mark of consistent hospitality quality and high customer satisfaction season after season.

Bar-snack bar, friendly entertainment and practical services

Camping Le Brandais offers a bar-snack bar, open throughout the season from 7 May to 30 August 2026, with takeaway pizzas, appetiser platters, ice cream and drinks to enjoy on the terrace. There is no restaurant on site, but the proximity of Brem-sur-Mer and Saint-Gilles-Croix-de-Vie makes it easy to enjoy the surrounding restaurants: crêperies, seaside bistros, fish restaurants and family brasseries are within a few minutes by car or bike. On the entertainment side, the Capfun team runs a programme suited to the establishment’s intimate scale, with friendly activities rather than mass-scale evenings: kids’ clubs, a teens’ club, sports entertainment and themed evenings a few times a week. Practical services include a convenience store, a daily bread delivery service, a launderette, wifi in communal areas and bike hire for reaching the sea and the cycle paths that criss-cross the Vendée pine forests.

Brem beach, Île d’Yeu and Vendée heritage

The location of Camping Le Brandais puts holidaymakers just 800 metres from the beach at Brem-sur-Mer, reachable on foot or by bike within minutes. The Côte de Lumière unfurls its fine sandy beaches, small coves and coastal trails for walks facing the ocean. Saint-Gilles-Croix-de-Vie, nearby, is the main embarkation port for the Île d’Yeu: a day trip lets you discover this must-see of the Vendée coastline, its picturesque harbours and coastal paths. Further north, the Île de Noirmoutier and its legendary Passage du Gois offer another memorable escape. Les Sables-d’Olonne, famous for its harbour and aquarium, is twenty minutes away and well worth a full day. The Puy du Fou, around an hour away, is an absolute must-see: plan a day for the Grand Parc and an evening for the Cinéscénie. On the campsite, a multisports pitch, pétanque and table tennis tables keep sports fans busy every day. For children, the Vendée theme parks round out the offer.
