Camping Qugydo Ranch
A Quiet Site in Charente-Maritime
November in Charente-Maritime features shorter days and cooler temperatures, suitable for peaceful camping. Qugydo Ranch provides a small-scale option with rural surroundings and basic comforts, located away from major tourist areas.
Location and Access
The site is at 14 Rue des Mille Fleurs, Saint-Léger, accessible via the D137 road. It lies near wheat fields, vineyards, and forests, within a few minutes’ drive of the village center. Six pitches support tents, caravans, or motorhomes. Owner Maureen Zwennis handles check-ins and allows flexible stay lengths.
On-Site facilities
Animals on the grounds include horses in pastures, goats at fences, roaming chickens, a resident cat, and dogs. These elements create a farm-like environment.
Facilities include:
- Hot showers with fixed temperature (no adjustments; use a towel if needed for cooling).
- Clean toilets and washbasins.
- Free Wi-Fi in the common area.
- Small on-site grocery and laundry services.
Pitches offer visibility to the grounds while providing basic privacy.
Local Area Highlights
Saint-Léger includes cafés, bakeries, and Le Rustica restaurant, serving regional dishes such as cognac-based meals and local wines. Nearby vineyards and a cognac distillery offer tours and tastings, reachable by short drive.
Potential Drawback
The fixed shower temperature may feel too warm on milder days, though water flow remains consistent.
Booking Recommendations
Qugydo Ranch suits those seeking simplicity and animal interactions. In November 2024, it accommodated extended stays easily. Use it as a base for Charente-Maritime exploration, prioritizing low-key rural experiences.
