Where is the Landes located?
Les Landes is part of one of France's largest departments, located near the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region, south of the Arcachon basin and the Gironde (south-west France). Les Landes contains three main towns: Biscarrosse, Dax and Saint-Paul-Lès-Dax. It borders the Atlantic Ocean, so you can enjoy the great beaches of Biscarrosse, Messanges and Hossegor, or the surrounding forests such as the Pignada forest (maritime pines). These beaches and forests are among the largest in Europe. In particular, you'll enjoy a breath of fresh air thanks to the ocean, which is located close to the starred and unstarred campsites we offer.
What are the activities to do during a camping holiday in the Landes?
At the various campsites on offer, children's clubs are available depending on the season. Take advantage of the heated swimming pool, the campsite facilities. Take advantage of the best offer on the Landes coast! On a campsite, it's a bit like in a village club, you'll have every possible comfort except that you'll generally be staying in a mobile home, or sometimes a chalet. The establishments are often located on large estates offering plenty of opportunities for outdoor activities. You and your children can enjoy the beaches, which are often close to the campsite. On the other hand, a car is often recommended to take advantage of the region's attractions. However, the campsite can arrange free shuttles depending on the period.
The Landes department offers plenty of opportunities for swimming! Mind you, who says beaches in the Landes says waves. And yes, the main activity in the Landes is surfing, so whatever the season surfers will always be on the beaches! So why not give it a go? There's no age limit for surfing. If you're afraid of the waves, or prefer the safety of the pool, that's fine too. But also, why not, just enjoy the Aquitaine coast and stroll along the beachfront, or the dunes.
With the presence of numerous lakes, you have the possibility of canoeing in the heart of lakes often close to your rental.

It's a traditional festival that takes place every year, the Landais and Landaises are dressed in red and white in connection with the Basque country and Pamplona (Spain) and to further liven up and amuse children and adults a bull run follows the festival. When you're out and about outside the campsite, don't hesitate to take a stroll through the local markets or the large pine forest. A free outing to enjoy the charm of the traditional village!
