  • Family site in the Landes de Gascogne Regional Natural Park
  • Bar/restaurant, swimming pools, multisports pitch and playground
  • Bike hire on site and several cycle paths nearby
A peaceful family vibe prevails at this quiet site near Parentis-en-Born in the Landes, along with a plethora of pursuits for all ages... you and yours will have access to two heated pools, a playground, a multisports pitch, table tennis, a pétanque court and a TV room… and a kids' club, activities for teenagers and family-friendly evening entertainment such as themed dinners, board game nights and bingo in summer. Activities of all sorts are all around too, as Camping L'Arbre d'Or is in the Landes de Gascogne Regional Natural Park, between the towns of Parentis-en-Born and Lake Biscarosse-Parentis, a short drive from the coast and within walking distance of fishing, sailing, windsurfing, canoeing and parasailing on the lake a few hundred metres away. Several cycling trails start just outside the gates, so hire bikes on site to pedal to the lake, beach and into the surrounding countryside. Food options on site cover all tastes: you can eat at the bar-restaurant, use the takeaway service, buy supplies at the mini market or cook on the communal barbecues.

Simon D. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Electric grass pitch

Liked: Big sites, lots of shade and good facilities. Pool area was very pleasant and well maintained.

Disliked: Restaurant food was not very good and a rather overwhelming small from the drains. Seem to run two systems for power, so a bit of a pain when trying to sort out a connection. No taps for water on the site.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: In walking distance to the lake and beaches and the cycle path is right outside. pitches are a good size, mostly shaded by trees. Indoor and outdoor pools.

Disliked: Restaurant was closed although stated on website it was open. Toilets and showers very dated and half were closed, unisex. Reception didn’t open until 4pm.

Local attractions

Lifeguarded beaches are at the Lac de Biscarrosse et de Parentis 400 metres away, where you can also go sailing, windsurfing, canoeing and parasailing, or hike into the forest surrounding the water. The 3,540-hectare lake is named after its two local towns, the oil town of Parentis- en-Born and the seaplane settlement of Biscarrosse (planes took off from here in the 1930s for the 60-hour transatlantic flight to New York). The Museum of Petrol is at Parentis- en-Born and the Hydroplane Museum at Biscarrosse if you want to investigate further. Horse riding is available within five kilometres of the site, and a golf course within 10. For more sands, drive the 15 kilometres to Biscarrosse beach, on the edge of the lake. If you're here with kids, they'll likely love a whirl around the Landes Aventure tree climbing park (20 kilometres) and the Aqualand water park, 30 kilometres away. Dune de Pyla, Europe's tallest dune (35km) should also be a sandy hit. Arcachon is 35 kilometres from the site and Bordeaux 75.
