The Île de Ré, linked to La Rochelle by a bridge nearly three kilometres long, is one of the most sought-after seaside destinations in the Charente-Maritime department. Of the campsites listed here on this portal, twenty-seven are linked to the sea and one has direct beach access, in keeping with an island entirely geared towards the coast and its wide stretches of sand.
The island alternates white villages with colourful shutters, salt marshes and vineyards, across a flat area very popular for cycling. It's an upscale camping destination in Nouvelle-Aquitaine, between beaches, well-preserved maritime heritage and cycle paths linking all the island's villages.
The villages of the Île de Ré, such as Ars-en-Ré or Saint-Martin-de-Ré, have kept their white houses with green or blue shutters, originally protected by strict rules preserving this distinctive architectural style. Saint-Martin-de-Ré, the citadel fortified by Vauban, remains listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site under the Fortifications of Vauban.
The Phare des Baleines, at the island's north-western tip, overlooks a landscape of dunes and pine forests battered by Atlantic winds. The salt marshes, still worked by salt farmers, recall the island's salt tradition, while the network of cycle paths makes it possible to link most sites without a car. Between typical villages, fortified heritage and large beaches, the Île de Ré brings together the best assets for a camping stay.
