Camping Sandaya Les Amis de la Plage

Alan Rogers Review of Camping Sandaya Les Amis de la Plage

Camping Sandaya Les Amis de la Plage, a former municipal site, is located on the southern side of the Ile de Ré at Le Bois-Plage-en-Ré. The site has direct gated access across the sand dunes to a superb sandy beach.

There are 160 pitches, some of which are occupied by mobile homes, chalets and fully equipped tents. The 31 touring pitches are sandy with varying shade; some are a little small, and others can be on undulating land. Just over half have electrical connections (10A). The island’s largest market is held daily, just 500 m. from the site.

The Ile de Ré is well known for its cycle tracks and a number of these pass close to the site. It is a great way to explore the island. Also recommended is the Maison du Platin, an interesting eco-museum, dedicated to the Ile de Ré’s heritage and traditions. The island’s capital Saint Martin is an easy drive away and provides a wide range of shops, boutiques, bars and restaurants; it is an attractive town whose life centres round the thriving port and marina; there are also buildings of historical interest, not least the fortifications by the military architect Vauban.
