Where to find the charging stations

The campsite’s charging points are located in two areas:

This setup makes charging more convenient for guests staying in different parts of the campsite. If you are arriving for the first time, it is a good idea to identify your preferred charging location soon after check-in so you can plan your first session without rushing.

Because the campsite is a 5-star family campsite on the shore of Lac du Jaunay, many guests use their car during their stay for day trips in Vendée. Having charging available directly on site helps you return, plug in, and prepare for the next outing.

How to start a charging session

Using the €0.40/kWh electric vehicle station is straightforward, but there is one essential step: charging sessions operate via VIRTA.

What you need before charging

Before you begin, make sure you:

  1. Create a VIRTA account
  2. Install the VIRTA app
  3. Bring your vehicle and charging cable as usual
  4. Follow the instructions shown on the charging station

The charging stations operate with the VIRTA operator, and the app is used to start your session. During charging, follow the instructions displayed on the station carefully so the process runs correctly.

Why the VIRTA app matters

The campsite recommends using VIRTA to benefit from the best rates, as some other operators may apply additional fees beyond the campsite’s control. In practice, that means the simplest option is also the clearest one: set up VIRTA in advance and use it when you arrive.

For many EV drivers, preparing the app before travel removes one of the most common charging frustrations. It saves time, reduces confusion at the charging point, and makes it easier to start charging as soon as you are parked.

How much does EV charging cost?

The charging price is € 0,40 per kWh.

That means you are billed according to the amount of electricity your vehicle uses during the session, rather than paying a flat rate. This usage-based approach is easy to understand and helpful for guests with different charging needs.

What that means in practical terms

Your total cost depends on:

Because the price is set per kWh, you can decide whether you want a shorter top-up or a more complete charge, depending on your travel plans.

What does 22 kW charging mean?

Each charging station provides 22 kW of power. In general terms, this is considered a solid destination-charging option for guests who want to recharge while enjoying their stay rather than waiting beside their vehicle for a very short ultra-fast stop.

For campsite travel, that is particularly practical. You can start a session, head back to your accommodation or pitch, enjoy the facilities, and return later once your charging session is complete.

When should you plan your charge?

One of the easiest ways to make your stay more comfortable is to plan charging around your daily schedule.

Good moments to charge during your stay

You may find it useful to charge when:

Charging during natural downtime often makes the experience feel seamless. Campsite stays are ideal for this because your vehicle is usually parked while you are enjoying the accommodation, outdoor spaces, or family activities.

Useful arrival and access information

A little logistical planning can help your EV charging experience go more smoothly.

Key practical information

If you expect to arrive later in the day, it is worth keeping the barrier hours in mind. Guests who like to organise everything in advance may also want to review practical stay information such as accommodation details, pitch options, and arrival timings before departure.

Why on-site charging makes a difference during a camping holiday

Travelling by EV is easier when charging is part of the destination, not an extra detour. At Camping Village de la Guyonnière, on-site charging helps guests combine comfort, flexibility, and day-trip freedom.

This matters even more in a destination like Vendée, where many families use the campsite as a base for local exploration. The area offers a variety of outing ideas, including:

When you can recharge on site, it becomes easier to leave for the day with confidence and return without needing to search for another charging solution on the way back.
