Ile De Ré or Ile D'Oleron? Recommended campsites??

We have been to this campsite on Ile de Re' 5 times. https://www.campdusoleil.com/campsite-re-island-ars-en-re
It is a short walk to a small beach and to Ars (Always tickles me) which has a market, restaurants and a nice little port. The site has a pool and a small restaurant/bar. (serves warm croissant in the morning)
It's a nice cycle to the lighthouse (Phare du Baleine) and the 'Conche' beach which is fabulous. San Martin is a short drive away and there are other towns a short cycle away (St Clement(with a great little market for fresh olives etc), Les Portes and La Couarde (with a bigger but slightly more tacky Market)
If you like cycling this is a great location, but beware of the wind. There is usually a predominant westerly which picks up in the evening in the summer which makes La Couarde a proper schlep on the way back cycling.
The pitches are typical french style segregated by tall bamboo and the facilities are always clean and functional.
There is also a supermarket which is a short cycle away.
This picture which is on their website is actually our pitch pre VW with our Outwell tent and Gazebo setup.
It's pretty much a park the Van and cycle everywhere location.
Needless to say I kind of like it there!
Also been to Soleil before and will always go back when on Ile De Re - a lovely site and ideally situated for walking and cycling.
