The adventure begins<\/div>

The campsite was founded by two passionate couples of friends. Initially, the campsite offered 115 pitches and an outdoor swimming pool, providing a welcoming environment for its first vacationers.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div>
Second expansion<\/div>

A new major milestone was reached with a second expansion of 53 plots, reaching 215 locations. That same year, we invested in an indoor swimming pool, a multi-sports ground, and a new playground, confirming our commitment to families and leisure enthusiasts.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div>
A new breath of fresh air<\/div>

Nadine and Franck took the reins of Bird Island alone. They injected new life into the site with a new visual identity, the creation of the Enchanted Nest, the friendly "Nest" relaxation area, and the redesign of the activity room. That year, the campsite also received the Tourism and Disability label, a testament to its accessibility.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

2016<\/div><\/div>
<\/path><\/svg><\/div>
<\/div>
A new space and a new label<\/div>

A veranda was built to accommodate the kids' club activities. The campsite also obtained the Accueil V\u00e9lo label, allowing us to welcome visiting cyclists.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

2019<\/div><\/div>
<\/path><\/svg><\/div>
<\/div>
Year of great changes!<\/div>

The campsite has been awarded the Qualit\u00e9 Tourisme label and is opening a new outdoor aquatic area with a unique and innovative design. With the addition of 11 new plots, the campsite's capacity now stands at 226.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

2021<\/div><\/div>
<\/path><\/svg><\/div>
<\/div>
Unprecedented comfort for all<\/div>

We are innovating again with the creation of 3 plots dedicated to motorhomes and the installation of 6 private toilets to guarantee comfort and privacy on 12 bare pitches (tent and caravan).<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/path><\/svg><\/div>
<\/div>
Even more comfort for our vacationers<\/div>

Nadine and Franck continue their work of beautification and renovation to provide an ever more welcoming environment. In 2024, two new restrooms will be installed on the pitches.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>
