About
La Madrague is on the chemin de la Madrague in Sainte-Marie-sur-Mer, in the town of Pornic. Perched at the top of the cliff, facing the ocean, the campsite calls itself the only one in Pornic right by the water: a cove lies at the foot of the site, and the coastal path leads straight to two coves. The big beaches are about 500 metres away. This Capfun campsite has 270 pitches. The water area includes a heated outdoor pool, a heated indoor pool, two paddling pools and two multi-lane slides, including the Spacebowl, from 1.20 m tall. The Clapou club welcomes 4 to 10 year olds four days a week, the Nobodys 11 to 17 year olds, and an indoor play area is used on rainy days. Three free shows take place every week in summer. The bar-snack opens from April to September, and the centre of Pornic is about 4 km away. The campsite is accessible to people with reduced mobility. Nearby, the Château de Pornic is about 11 minutes by car (6 km), and the Roche Percée in Préfailles about 11 minutes by car (8.4 km).
