Camping Bel Air in Pornichet: a 4-star holiday just steps from the beach 

Just 50 metres from Bonne Source Beach in Pornichet, Camping Bel Air welcomes you to a unique seaside holiday on the Atlantic coast. With its direct pedestrian access to the beach, its warm family atmosphere, and its top-class facilities, this family-run campsite has been delighting holidaymakers for almost 90 years. Here, comfort, relaxation, and entertainment come together to create unforgettable holidays for couples, families, and groups of friends.

A historic campsite in the heart of Pornichet 

Camping Bel Air is much more than a holiday destination – it is part of the region’s local heritage. Founded 89 years ago, it is recognised as one of the oldest campsites in France. This remarkable history reflects both its expertise and its ability to adapt to changing times. Today, as a 4-star campsite, it offers a modern, comfortable holiday experience while preserving the warm and welcoming spirit that has built its reputation over generations.

A prime location, just 50 metres from the ocean 

One of Camping Bel Air’s greatest assets is its exceptional location. Nestled along the Atlantic coast, the campsite has direct pedestrian access to Bonne Source Beach, one of the most stunning beaches in Pornichet. A short footpath from the bottom of the campsite takes you to the sand in just a few minutes, no need to take the car.

In summer, children can make the most of the beach club set up right on the sand. For every stay of seven nights or more in rental accommodation, they even receive a free week at the kids’ club. Parents can enjoy some well-deserved relaxation while the little ones play and socialise in complete safety.

Accommodation for every style of holiday

At Camping Bel Air, there is a wide range of accommodation designed to suit every taste and budget.

• Budget rentals: practical and affordable, perfect for holidaymakers who want comfort without overspending. 
• Comfort cottages: modern, well-equipped, and ideal for families, available with or without sea views. 
• Premium rentals with private hot tubs: for a luxurious stay, some cottages even come with a breathtaking sea view. 
• Year-round villas: perfect for those who want to enjoy Pornichet in any season.

Traditional campers are also welcome. The site offers 30 pitches for tents, campervans, caravans, and motorhomes, all equipped with the facilities needed for a comfortable stay.

More flexibility for your holiday 

Camping Bel Air understands that modern travellers need more flexibility when planning their trips. That’s why the campsite has relaxed its booking conditions.

During the high season (July and August), you can now: book stays from just two nights and arrive any day of the week, not just on Wednesdays or Saturdays. It was already the same during the low season.

This means more freedom to organise your holiday to suit your personal schedule, the weather or simply your preferences.

A water park and activities for the whole family

Swimming enthusiasts and sun-seekers will love the campsite’s water park: a heated outdoor pool complete with lazy river and paddling pool, a heated indoor pool (perfect for cooler days) and relaxation areas for parents to unwind.

But the fun doesn’t stop at swimming. The campsite also offers a wide variety of leisure facilities and activities: a children’s playground, a multi-sports pitch and pétanque courts, a kids’ club with age-appropriate entertainment and a full programme of activities for adults, including sports tournaments, themed evenings and live shows.

Whether you are travelling with children, teenagers, or friends, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
