  • Family-friendly site in the Landes department
  • Swimming pool, paddling pool, play area, kids' club and restaurant bar
  • Minutes away from the beaches of Aquitaine and near Lake Aureilhan
Forest, river, lake and the splendid sandy beaches of the Atlantic coast – if you like your landscapes, the Landes department's Camping La Clairière is un bon place to be. The site is set right in the Landes forest, only a few minutes from the sands and sea of the Atlantic, and near the watersports and splendid scenery of Lake Aureilhan. It also stretches over three and a half scenic hectares bordered by a river – it's pretty much a given you'll find a fair bit to see and do in the area here… A fair bit to see and do for all sizes is on site too, including a big outdoor pool, a mini golf course, a pétanque court, a volleyball court and ping pong tables alongside a paddling pool and large well-equipped play area for les enfants. A kids' club runs in high season as well as family evening entertainment including karaoke, concerts and theme nights at the spacious bar and restaurant. Wifi is available on site for an extra charge. La Clairière also has bike hire: just the ticket for pedalling off towards the coast or along the many trails encircling Lake Aureilhan.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: Was nice and shaded.

Disliked: There’s a curfew on when you can drive cars through the camp site (2300-0700), but absolutely nothing to stop people making noise all night. The bar stays open longer than you can drive through the campsite. We stayed for 3 nights and barely slept due to people making loads of noise all night. Would never go back to this camp site. Also states it’s minutes from the beach and lake. It’s a 20 minute drive from the beach and 15 minuet drive from the lake. No bike hire near by.

From the manager: Hello, We are very sorry to read that you didn't like to stay at the campsite. We have to tell you we are very surprised because a lot of information you give in your comment are wrong. Firstly you were sleeping in the middle of the campsite, very far away from the bar and there are not animations every evening so this is not a problem normaly. Secondly, we watch the campsite by night but infortunately we are not responsible for the lack of respect of people around your pitch. Thirdly, the ocean is at 20 minutes from the campsite by car but the lake is only at 5 minutes (even less) by car (and not 15min). Finaly, we propose bikes to rent into the campsite, but we didn't saw you at the reception, you had never come to ask for bikes or to tell us for the noise. Best regards

Disliked: Les sanitaires ne sont pas propres. Le camping n'est plus accessible en voiture après 23 heures. Nous étions en van, nous sommes arrivés après 23 heures. Nous avons dû dormir à l'extérieur du camping. Si l'horaire est choisi pour le calme du camping, pourquoi la musique était elle alors à fond dans le restaurant jusqu'à minuit passé ? Mimizan plage se trouve à plus de 20 minutes du camping, si on veut y passer la soirée, il est difficile d'être rentré avant 23h, je ne conseille donc pas ce camping pour les personnes en van.

From the manager: Bonjour, Nous sommes navrés que vous n'ayez pas apprécié les horaires de fermeture du camping. Pourtant ces horaires sont les mêmes dans la majorité des campings, pour certains sites dans les environs l'horaire de fermeture est même de 22h30. Nous vous invitons pour la prochaine fois soit à vous renseigner en amont lorsque vous faites ce type de réservation sur les horaires de fermeture, soit de sélectionner des aires de camping-car accessibles à toutes heures mais bien souvent sans électricité ou bien de choisir des camping plus proches de Mimizan plage mais qui coûtent alors bien plus cher que ce que vous avez payé dans notre structure. Nous accueillons beaucoup de van dans notre camping, et les horaires n'ont jamais été un problème. Nous vous avons prévenu dès votre arrivée pour les horaires de fermeture et vous auriez donc eu la possibilité dès ce moment là pour changer de structure (ce que vous n'avez pourtant pas fait). Pour finir et en ce qui concerne les sanitaires, 2 à 3 passages sont réalisés chaque jour, nous faisons au mieux pour qu'ils restent propres mais nous ne sommes souvent pas responsables de l'irrespect des campeurs qui parviennent souvent à tout resalir en moins d'une heure. Nous vous remercions pour votre compréhension Bonne continuation

Great site in a nice shaded location. Short drive to lakes and the sea

Local attractions

On land, on water, by foot, pedal or hoof… a heap of outdoorsy options is around La Clairière: Landes is fairly well known for its horse riding, hiking and cycling, so get stuck into one, two or all three at countryside or coast. Lake Aureilhan is also a well-known spot for active days out in this part of the Landes: make your way here for watery sports like paddleboarding, swimming, rowing, canoeing, pedal boating and taking out a Hawaiian pirogue canoe, or for casting off for fishy specimens such as carp, pike, perch and eel. The trails around the lake are fine places to take your wheels or feet for scenic afternoons. For indoor and/or cultural days, the nearby Prieuré Museum is filled with medieval arty bits including 15th-century mural paintings, or, a bit further away, you could cross the border into Spain for a day in San Sebastián, a former European City of Culture.
