Bontempo Village la Yole

A last minute 5 night break for us, booked with Eurocamp and we loved it. We stayed in the safari type tent, it was brilliant, spacious and comfy beds. the site was great, not over crowded like others we have stayed in in the south, swimming pool area was great, big hit with my boys, bar and food was fine. nice walk to the local restaurants and beach, for the price we paid this was completely amazing, the week before we’d done a weeks all inclusive in mallorca, and enjoyed this more for a fraction of the price.

Brilliant place. Great pitches, clean. The pool is great, the bar and restaurant are great and sensibly priced. Plenty of clean showers and toilets. There’s a barbecue area, play area and pétanque/boule areas too. The location is good la Mouettes beach - 20 min walk, St Jean de Monts 15 mins drive, St Gille 15 mins drive. Theres a free bus to St Jean de Monts in high season but it isn’t that frequent. Very Family friendly.

We arrived on the 23rd of may for an 8 night stay. Accomodation lovely. Stayed in a mobile home. Was clean on arrival, beds comfortable and overall spacious Swimming pool we used everyday, sometimes twice. Both indoor and outdoor. My ONLY fault with the pool would be the cleanliness is slacking specifically within the indoor pools jacuzzi area. Around the edge of the jacuzzi on the wall side was pretty grim and needed a clean. Food at the restaurant was fabulous. Staff were all lovely everywhere on the campsite from the shop to the restaurant staff. We've been visiting la yole for many many years now and will be back again in the near future i am sure.

This was our second visit to La Yole. It is a very nice site which is clean, tidy and well presented. Shower blocks were always clean, toilets also. In agreement with some other reviews the site is busy and there are lots of children enjoying their bikes so caution needed when driving. We found the pitches a good size and water and electric well placed for our touring caravan. Most pitches we saw were mown and flat so vans can be manoeuvred easily. Reception staff friendly and helpful and gate security good. Shop well stocked and good selection of everything available. Not too pleased with: Having to use adjacent carpark whilst booking in. Our prior visit it was a big open space to turn around a big caravan. This year, cars parked both sides and turning space reduced at the top so had to mess about to turn round to then drive on to site. Needs a bit of thought! Not keen on the 6 minute shower timed wristbands. You have to be quick, if you have long hair you don’t have time to wash and condition! You are allowed 2 showers a day but just feels a bit authoritarian. Before the eco warriors shout, I do understand the need to economise with water but 6 minutes, really!! All that said, we like the site’s atmosphere and enjoyed our stay.

We have just arrived home from a fantastic 10 night stay at La Yole. Where to start… On the day we were due to arrive we had a problem with our car which resulted in us just about making it to the site but then needing to arrange to get our car into the garage to be repaired. The reception staff at the site were incredibly helpful, offering to contact a local garage and translate for us. They went above and beyond what we could have ever expected, liaised with the garage for us throughout and even came to our pitch to give us an update which they’d phoned for without us even having to ask. The site is spotlessly clean and very well maintained - there are groundsmen/women working day in and day out to keep the site tidy and welcoming. This also goes for the pool area - we observed one afternoon the lifeguard entering the one pool which wasn’t being used and cleaning it, along with the jacuzzi. We didn’t visit the onsite restaurant due to a poor experience there when we visited last year, however, the food did smell and look delicious so it would appear that the staffing at the restaurant has changed/improved. We found the best time to visit the pool was around 12-2pm if you like it to be quiet. On 3 occasions we had the entire pool to ourselves between this time. There is a slight lack of sun beds during busy times however people do come and go quite frequently so you can usually find a bed without having to wait too long. We’ll certainly be visiting again in the future and we’d like to say thank you again to the fantastic reception staff who really did save our holiday with their kindness and willingness to help.

We stayed for a week at La Yole just returned yesterday. The approach roads are narrow and uneven throwing our Motorhome all over the place. Pitches large (we had an all service pitch) and well placed. The pool was a bit of a free for all and getting a bed wasn’t an option most days so we gave up. The bar we found charged different prices on each round of drinks even though we were drinking the same and the restaurant area was a in need of a facelift. Shop was stocked quite well but when I went to get bread on our last morning at 7.45 I was told I couldn’t have any until 8am despite all the baguette’s being cooked and out in the rack ready to sell. Our last night we did have a bit of an issue with some men and boys who were playing football right by the side of us in the road and the ball kept hitting our van and going underneath it. They were noisy and it was almost 11pm so wasn’t happy about that. All in all a good site in a lovely area of the Vendee
