  • Friendly site in a pinewood forest less than 2km from the beach
  • Within an hour of Médoc vineyards and 3km from Soulac-sur-Mer
  • Heated pool, paddling pool, playground and sports court
Welcome to the land of joie de vivre (that's the good life for non-natives who haven't brushed up on their French just yet…). Set among a pine forest, this family-friendly resort is less than two kilometres from la mer, wide sandy beaches and water-based activities like surfing, canoeing, paddleboarding and yachting. Its Médoc peninsula location is among vineyards, historic châteaux and local farmers’ markets too, and plenty of scenic cycle paths lie nearby. This pristine family-run park has been happily and warmly welcoming guests for more than 25 years and has added plenty to keep both littlies and large ones entertained: a heated pool with neighbouring paddling pool for starters, plus a playground for the under-12s, a sports court, a pétanque pitch and ping pong tables. You can also rent bikes on site (as well as trailers and seats for tiny ones to tag along in), making pedals to the seaside a cinch. Rumour has it that the site’s bartender is an expert mixologist, serving up cracking cocktails alongside good Médoc wines, beers and other crisply cold drinks to keep you nicely supplied all day and into the evening throughout the dance and live music nights put on at the park in high season. Also during the school holidays, the Camping des Pins team organises regular entertainment and activities for the kids' club. The site restaurant serves up pizzas and local cuisine; otherwise you can cook on the communal barbecue, or eat out in nearby Soulac-sur-Mer.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: Clean, friendly staff

Disliked: Pool area and location. The pool was small and had a total of 6 lounge chairs to sit on. So most of the time was spent laying on the concrete. For the hundreds of people the camp accommodates this seems a little poor to me. E specially as the beach was a good 45-1 hour walk away as well as the shops.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: camping et personnel très agréable. Tout était bien organisé et notre emplacement bien situé selon nos demandes.

Disliked: Nous étions broyés entre votre organisme et le camping: votre calcul ne correspondait pas au leur et il fallait payer 20 € de plus par rapport à vos calculs sans qu'ils puissent m'expliquer les précisions de leur facture ni les erreurs de la vôtre. Donc, je ne passerai plus par un intermédiaire comme vous - c'est trop peu transparent.

Local attractions

Plenty of cycle paths lie nearby for two-wheeled tours of the local area – and the splendid seaside spot of Soulac-sur-Mer is a mere two kilometres from the park, so it's also easily bikeable. The Médoc peninsula is perhaps most famed for its top-notch vineyards so you’ll be able to do a lot of wine sampling and vineyard touring while you’re here. One of the region’s best-known wineries, Château Lynch-Bages, is less than an hour’s drive from base for tastings and guided tours (advance bookings essential); Château Lanessan, 55 minutes' drive away, is also well worth checking out. Depending on how far along the waterway you want to travel, you can take guided boat tours of the Gironde estuary and its islands from the ports of Pauillac, Blaye or Bordeaux, about an hour and three quarters away.
