Quiet Landes family campsite 20 minutes’ walk to a beach
Dinosaures Parc and adventure parks within a 15-minute drive
Snack bar on site; Messanges shops and dining five minutes’ drive

Ingredients for a happy family seaside holiday? A beach within easy walking distance, somewhere to eat close by and plenty of cool shade to relax in for a siesta and a good night’s sleep, perhaps. And that’s a trio that’s on offer for guests at Camping Albret, barely 20 minutes’ walk from sandy Plage des Sablères in the Landes region. This site has been run by four generations of the same family, and they’ve learned a few things about what makes a holiday go smoothly in that time – simple grass pitches are shaded by pine trees and have access to a small shop and a snack bar to keep everyone fed. There’s also a play area, and a TV room for those times when you need a bit of downtime indoors. The beach is a lovely one for families, but it’s also something of a draw for watersports nuts – it’s a popular base for kitesurfers, jet skiers and surfers. Meanwhile, novice sailors can learn their craft on the lakes of Hossegor, Léon and Soustons (all around 20 minutes’ drive). Back on dry land, cyclists have the choice of myriad traffic-free bike tracks and keen riders can trek through forested Landes countryside. If you’re not so keen on that level of activity, simply head for the beach, lay down your towel and snooze in the sun. However you’ve filled your day, you may like to bring along a barbecue to get the evening going with a grilled dinner – there are shops for supplies in Messanges (five minutes’ drive or 35 minutes’ walk), which also has several eateries if you’d rather have a meal out.

Kerry L. Aug 2023

Electric optional gravel and sand pitch

Liked: Leaving this morning!

Disliked: We weren't allocated a pitch although booked a few weeks back just put somewhere in amongst young campers without children who were noisy. No electric although paid for it. There was a problem we asked for help and got none. Showers and toilets were dirty. No laundry although advertised as being laundry facilities. Tents so close together so no fire break areas just incase.

Electric optional gravel and sand pitch

Liked: Nice surfer-mentality an atmosphere. Many surfer families. Staff was plesant and cafe served good croissants and baguettes

Disliked: Only 5, not 6, amps could be pulled. Bathrooms were clean but spartan. The trek to the beach was made more ardous due to sand pavements.

Local attractions

Once you’ve spent a good few hours on your local beach, you may like to set off in search of a change of scenery – perhaps the sands of Plage de Soustons (10 minutes’ drive) or a stroll through the dunes of Courant d’Huchet Nature Reserve (15 minutes). A little way back from the coast, Marais d’Orx National Nature Reserve (40 minutes) is a haven for birdwatchers. Need a little more activity in your life? Head for Adrénaline Parc (10 minutes), the largest tree-climbing park in the Aquitaine with quad bikes and paintballing as well as the treetop courses. There’s another chance to get up into the trees at Parc Accrobranche Là Haut Aventure Park (15 minutes). Back down at ground level, a walk in the forest takes an unusual turn at Dinosaures Parc (15 minutes), where you’ll come across huge dinos and dragons hiding among the trees; there are also things like bouncy castles and go-karts to play with.
