Five kilometres from Lac de Léon and a short drive from the coast
Pool, paddling pool, pizza snack bar, shop and bike hire

A riverside setting, near Lac de Léon and long lengths of beaches within easy reach: watery fans, you're sorted here. Set in woodland and on the banks of a small river, Camping Landes Sud is near the Landes town of Saint-Michel-Escalus and five kilometres from the fishing, windsurfing, sailing, swimming and birdwatching of Lac de Léon. The Atlantic coast at the seaside resort of Vielle-Saint-Girons is a couple of kilometres further and has five beaches running for a total of 17 kilometres. And if you'd rather wander around small and traditional Lande towns and villages like Seignosse, Mont-de-Marsan, Hossegor, Biscarrosse, Capbreton, Mimizan and Dax are all day trip doable from the site. Among the many facilities at Camping Landes Sud are a heated pool and a paddling pool, open from June to September and surrounded by sun loungers. There's also a new recreation lodge where you can bring your coffee or book, play a board game or use the free wifi. Reception has plenty of tourist info and a computer with free internet. Sports are sorted at the volleyball and pétanque courts and the tables for football and ping pong, and food at the pizza-grill snack bar open during high season for takeaway or meals on the terrace. A grocery shop and a bread and croissant delivery service are also available. The site has bike hire.

Local attractions

Get out onto the lake for watersports, bask on its beach or have a dip under the French sun, all within five kilometres of base at the nature reserve and Lac de Léon. For ocean dips, the team recommends Vielle-Saint-Girons or the beach at Moliets. Loads more is around to do in the Camping Landes Sud surroundings: if you're a hiker or a cyclist, make for Landes Forest, the biggest maritime pine forest in Europe and ablaze with different colours throughout the seasons. More cycling and hiking can be had at the Courant d'Huchet nature reserve, joining Lac de Léon to the Atlantic. For town day tripping, visit St-Michel-Escalus surrounded by woodland, Dax with its festivals, Seignosse Mont-de-Marsan, Hossegor, Biscarrosse, Capbreton and Mimizan. The cuisine of the region should be thoroughly investigated too: try asparagus mousseline or a Landes salad with a slice of foie gras; millas from the north; Landes pastis with crème anglaise or apple tourtière with Armagnac flambé, all washed down with local wines like Tursan, Côteaux de Chalosse and vins des sables.
