About
The Mazerolles campsite is in Saint-Mars-du-Désert, in Loire-Atlantique, on the Marais de Mazerolles farm. In a soothing natural setting, you pitch your tent right next to the farm. It is a tiny campsite: 6 pitches, 3 of them with a bungalow tent to rent. Groups are welcome, but pets are not allowed. French and English are spoken, and payment is by cheque or holiday vouchers. The Mazerolles marshes, along the Erdre, are an important area for birds. More than 160 species have been recorded here, many of them migratory, along with a few rare and protected plants. The farm also welcomes families, schools and groups looking for calm and discovery. The motorway is 8 kilometres away, and Nantes half an hour’s drive.
