La Vertonne

La Vertonne campsite is at Grosbreuil, a small commune in the Vendée, on the road to Poiroux. Les Sables-d’Olonne is about twelve kilometres away and the Atlantic coast about ten, making it a quiet base for exploring between ocean and hinterland.

According to the listing on a camping website, the site has about 80 pitches, including around forty unequipped ones, and nine rental units: chalets, mobile homes for 4 to 6 people and fitted tents. Reviews mention spacious, well-kept and fairly shaded plots, and a welcome that guests appreciate. Pets are not accepted in most accommodation, and the site is non-smoking.

On site there is an unheated outdoor pool open in summer, a paddling pool in high season, a play area, a laundry room and a communal barbecue area. The bar, snack bar and bread service operate only in summer.

Opening period: this is a seasonal campsite. The advertised season runs from April 2 to October 31, 2026; the official website was unreachable when checked and other sources give slightly different dates at the start and end of the season. The campsite is therefore closed in winter: to stay in March, in November or later, you need to contact it on 02 51 22 20 59.

The services are those of a small seasonal campsite. An unheated outdoor pool is open in summer, with a paddling pool for children in high season. The bar and snack bar, as well as the bread service, operate only in summer. A laundry room and a communal barbecue are available, and the wifi covers only the main building. The play area can be used throughout the opening period.

On site, table tennis, pétanque and pool fill the days, and a programme of activities for 3 to 12 year-olds is offered in July and August, with themed evenings centred on calm and well-being. Around the campsite, Lake Finfarine at Poiroux, about 6 km away, offers fishing; Veillon beach, at Talmont-Saint-Hilaire, is about 12 km away. The Puy du Fou, O’Gliss Park and Le Grand Défi are among the outings in the region.
