Discover the Marais Poitevin!

Located in the heart of the Marais Mouillé, in the most wild and protected part of the Green Venice, our family-friendly shaded campsite is the ideal starting point for a boat or canoe trip through the Green Venice of the Marais Poitevin, a unique natural site in Europe.

From our private pier, you can safely board and explore the canals, right from our fishing-friendly campsite.

With numerous walking and cycling routes, flat and shaded, nestled in unspoiled nature, you can also set off on foot or by bike from the campsite near Charente-Maritime to explore the lush green landscapes.

During your holiday in Charente-Maritime at Camping Le Lidon, you can discover not only the Marais Poitevin, but also the islands of Charente-Maritime and the sandy beaches of the Vendée coast.
