Camping in Les Achards: stay between nature, lake and ocean
The Communauté de Communes du Pays des Achards, ideally located in the heart of the Vendée, halfway between Les Sables d’Olonne and La Roche-sur-Yon, offers a rich natural and architectural heritage. On the doorstep of the Atlantic Ocean, the Pays des Achards and its bocage landscapes are home to the Lac du Jaunay and its valley — a unique natural site in Vendée. Nestled in this beautiful environment, in Saint Julien des Landes, is Camping Village de La Guyonnière. Close to La Mothe-Achard, La Chapelle-Achard and Les Achards, this 5-star lakeside campsite has a lot to offer.
A 5-star campsite in the heart of the Vendée countryside
Camping Village de La Guyonnière welcomes you in a peaceful, green setting. Located in the Jaunay Valley, our campsite in Les Achards spreads across more than 30 hectares of nature. You’ll enjoy spacious, tree-lined pitches for tents, caravans or motorhomes, as well as a wide range of comfortable accommodation options. Here, space and tranquillity are key — perfect for a relaxing family holiday. As a 5-star campsite, we offer a premium experience just a few minutes’ drive from the Atlantic Ocean and within walking distance of the Lac du Jaunay.
Just steps from Lac du Jaunay: paradise for nature and outdoor lovers
Only 200 metres from the campsite, the Lac du Jaunay is easily accessible via marked trails. It’s the perfect playground for outdoor enthusiasts or for a family picnic by the water.
Several mountain bike trails run around the lake, along with a network of hiking paths. Children will love the geocaching routes that turn exploring into an adventure. On the water, you can rent pedal boats, canoes or stand-up paddleboards.
Fishing lovers will enjoy the variety of fish in the lake: pike, zander, roach, carp, black bass, bream and perch.
The lake’s proximity makes Camping Village de La Guyonnière a perfect base for exploring the natural beauty of the Pays des Achards.
What to discover in the Pays des Achards: nature, heritage and local produce
The Pays des Achards offers an authentic insight into its history and rural landscapes.
This discreet but rich heritage includes churches, chapels, washhouses, mills and traditional homes — known as the region’s “small built heritage”.
With 26 labelled hiking trails, 3 cycle paths and 8 geocaching courses, there’s something for everyone.
Families with children will love visiting the educational farm “Le Potager des Z’Animaux” or meeting donkeys with “Au Tour des Ânes”.
For thrill-seekers, the “Le Grand Défi” adventure park offers tree-top courses and many other outdoor activities.
Adults will enjoy meeting local producers and tasting the flavours of Vendée.
Pools, slides and relaxation: our water park for all ages
One of the highlights of any holiday is the pool — and ours won’t disappoint!
Our water park includes two heated, supervised swimming pools.
The indoor pool features a slide and paddling pool for little ones, while waterfalls, swan neck jets and misters create a relaxing atmosphere for grown-ups.
Outside, there are dedicated spaces for young children, with a paddling area and water play zones to gently introduce them to swimming.
In the outdoor pool, a counter-current river leads to a grotto and waterfalls, and the water slides provide hours of fun.
SPLASH!
Dear parents, you’ll also love our solarium and artificial beach for sunbathing. For pure relaxation, head to our spa: sauna, steam room, jacuzzi and heated seats are available upon reservation for 1.5 hours of total well-being. In July and August, our beautician offers treatments and massages by appointment.
And since water fun builds up an appetite, stop by our outdoor bar for refreshing drinks, snacks and ice cream!
