The treasures of the Île de Ré Located on the eastern side of the Île de Ré, Le Bel Air Campsite makes an ideal base for exploring the wonders of this pearl in the Atlantic Ocean. The campsite offers traditional tent/caravan pitches but also the Freeflower all-canvas holiday home as well as beautiful cabins and lodges. From La Flotte-en-Ré you can enjoy the charms of the local ports and villages with their brightly painted shutters and narrow, wallflower-lined streets. The Bel Air is also a ... great starting point for exploring the island by bicycle or boat. For those interested in swimming, the long, sandy Plage de l’Arnérault is located just 900m from the campsite

Love this site and island
The shack we stayed in was untidy and unclean in places. We reported this via the app but nobody responded. I mentioned this to Reception and asked for my broken mug to be replaced. Nobody helped me i had to go back to Reception and the lady said she forgot. On the last day we cleaned. The lady said we had to clean the hair in the plug hole in shower bung even though she said it wasn't our hair as we clearly don't have any! So I reluctantly cleaned it so we didn't loose our deposit. This also wasn't made clear that we had to pay €300 deposit.

Great location, clean and well planned campsite. The staff were very friendly and close to great amenities! Would recommend:)
We flew to La Rochelle, however Beale missed out flight due to no taxis and buses not turning up. Not the campsites fault but might affect future stay. Also some showers did not work and often ran out of toilet roll. Also many signs and app were in French, however there were many English speaking guests. Might be useful and less burden on reception for a few more translations, including on the app I.e. link to inventory, hiring of bed sheets etc. But these are minor things.

We have stayed at this campsite many times. As a family we all love it, the accommodation is so very comfortable and the location I think is the best on the island.
No I loved having our own bathroom and cooking facilities but still the feeling of open living under canvas. Beds were very comfortable

Restaurant staff were very friendly.
Arrived early with a caravan and was told to go away and come back later. The overflow carpark was full. So with a caravan it was a bit difficult to turn around.. the receptionist was not friendly and didn't give us any information about services on the campsite.

My only comment would be the tent was amazing ( cotton cabine ) but the canvas flaps were on the outside - so when going to the toilet - to get privacy - you would have to go outside the tent - unroll the canvas flap then go back into the tent to go to the toilet . Would be a better design if the flaps were on the inside ?
My sisters tent had plastic over the fly sheets which did not allow for any air to circulate - new addition I believe

Location is great. The site is a short walk from the quay side in La Flotte with a good supermarket behind (gate through fence open during day). Town is very active with markets, restaurants and bike hire. Nice to have a pool. Reception has friendly staff.
Access to a pool was good, but it’s smaller than photos may appear and it gets pretty busy, expect to wait for bed spaces, some toilet blocks ran out of paper and showers activated by a push button with a very short blast of water, somewhat tedious.

Accommodation review
The part of the table and kitchen is very helpfull
The shower of the guinguette didn't work properly, all the water run through the floor and became disgusting and really dirty. We paid for a service that we couldn't enjoy at all. In the reception didn't offer us any solution morè than a mop (not change emplacement, not return part of the money paid, not even clean it) even though they recognized the guinguetta had a serious problem in the shower and they won't be able to fix it until autum. Really dissapointing

Very convenient for La Flotte and cycle routes. The Touring pitches have been sacrificed to make way for and touring pitches are generally not good.
The pitches were too crowded and not in good locations compared to cabins. There was no hand washing facility in the toilet area and often no toilet paper. The clothes washing sinks were used for dishes and often had food left in them. I had to clean them before I could wash my clothes.
Accommodation review
A little shade available from a pine tree in the morning only
The pine tree shed cones and needles on the roof of our camper van and awning that was a hazard to our roof (light) windows. I had to remove the debris every day.

The friendly staff, staying in a Sweetflower, walking distance to town , restaurants and beach and a supermarket. Peace and quiet - most of the time. Proximity to St Martin. Amazing beaches and sunsets.
Heavy clumpy dining chairs inside and uncomfortable mattress on double bef
Accommodation review
Being in the outdoors but with style and comfort
Needs more comfortable seats outside for relaxing. Deckchairs are never comfortable and very low Making them hard to get out of. Also the mattress on the double bed is uncomfortable. We both leave the campsite with backache and whilst we are ageing backache isn’t one of our normal ailments!! We also wish that the double bed had been centrally placed which would have allowed for a table at each side . It would be better to have a lights hanging over each side of the bed and a secondary switch to turn them off whilst In bed. Someone always has to get out of bed to turn them off !!!!

The accommodation is first class and the campsite situated in an ideal place to explore the island by bicycle.
Please give some thought to having some more staff on duty at reception. After the peak season there are still a lot of people wanting to check in and out. We had to wait a long time at the beginning and the end because over ten people waiting to be seen and only one overworked member of staff. It’s not good for the site, the customers or the staff. We waited nearly twenty minutes to get someone to raise the barrier so that we could leave. Thank you. See you next year!

Space in the bedroom and also the covered area.

Size of the site was perfect and despite being full during our stay it never felt busy. We had a free camping booth which has its one bathroom (shower, toilet and basin) as well as a good sized table, kitchen and full sized fridge. The short walk into the port town of La Flotte was a huge bonus. We hired bikes from reception and rode around part of the island, which I would highly recommend. Our only regret is that we only spent 2 nights so we are already planning on coming back next summer for a longer stay.

The size of the facilities you get with the free camp pitch are amazing for the price. It’s like your own private hut with everything you need.
