1 – The charm of nature: camping VS holiday home in Vendée

What could be better, to fully recharge your batteries, than to be in a natural setting ? If that’s what you’re looking for, it’s up to you to see what you prefer!   At Le Tropicana campsite, you are in the heart of nature. The songs of the birds, the sound of the leaves in the wind, the sweet smell of the pines … It’s a real breath of fresh air. You can wake up with the sun and spend your days outdoors.  On the contrary, in a holiday home in Vendée, you are a little more isolated from nature. The environment may be quieter, but you probably won’t be in the heart of a pine forest!   So it all depends on what you want.

2 – Activities within reach

When it comes to activities , there’s no time to be bored at the campsite. Sports activities, theme nights, games for children … We take care of everything at the Tropicana!   And for those who love to relax, how about a good nap by the pool ? Here, we have fun from morning to night, at any age.  In a holiday home in Vendée, you organize your days as you wish. No imposed program, you are masters of your time. Which also means that if you want to do something, it is up to you to do everything prepare and organize.

  A responsibility that is not necessarily ideal, when the objective is to to clear the mind.

3 – Quality meetings

At the campsite, you never stay alone for long. Your tent or mobile home neighbours quickly become friends. The children make friends at the swimming pool, and you share an aperitif with friendly people.  It’s the perfect place to meet people and create memories together.  In a holiday home, it’s quieter. If you’re looking for solitude, the setting is perfect! But it will be a little more complicated to build relationships.

4 – A lighter budget for peaceful travel

Between a holiday home in Vendée and a campsite, the budget has nothing to do with it!   Camping is often easier on the wallet. You can choose between several options: tent pitch, mobile home , chalet… There is something for every budget. And then, cooking yourself allows you to save money on meals.  Plus, on-site activities are often free or inexpensive. At least, that’s the case at the Tropicana.   Of course, renting a holiday home in Vendée will be more expensive. It’s up to you to see what you prefer!

5 – Proximity to the beach: holiday home in Vendée or campsite?

When it comes to proximity to the beach, there’s no comparison: booking a stay at the Tropicana is the best option.   Indeed, our campsite is only 800 meters from the beach of Saint-Jean-de-Monts. Suffice to say that you can go there on foot , by bike , or even running if you are the sporty type! It is perfect for families with children or for those who like the sea bathing as soon as you wake up.

6 – The atmosphere

As for the atmosphere, there is nothing in common between a holiday home in Vendée and a campsite . Do you prefer peace and quiet, or friendly and warm entertainment?  Camping has a unique atmosphere. Everyone is there to relax and have a good time. The evenings are lively, laughter is shared, and friendships are made. It is a real holiday village where good humor reigns.  In a holiday home, the atmosphere is more intimate . You can enjoy your loved ones without outside distractions. It is ideal for families who want to get together or couples looking for peace and quiet.
