About this campspace

3 NIGHTS MINIMUM.
My campsite and gîtes are registered with the Pontenx les Forges town hall and are partners of the OIT tourist office in Mimizan.

Very comfortable, quiet, secure, well-equipped, fully fenced campsite, accessible 24 hours a day through a digicode gate.
Possibility of privatizing the site. Quiet groups accepted (up to 20 people).
A place that aims to reduce its carbon footprint as much as possible. Successfully tested.

This year, new facilities have been added for your comfort, which I haven't yet photographed, including: a large 6m x 6m barnum with lighting, under which you'll find tables and chairs for shade from the sun or shelter from the rain.

A second dry toilet, a cooking area (with your own stove) and a stainless steel double sink for washing up.
Come and recharge your batteries far from the crowds, in a quiet airial 20 minutes from the ocean, under hundred-year-old oaks and hazel trees (shade available).
At the end of our flat, sandy terrain, against the forest, far from the turpitude of seaside resorts or crowded campsites.

At the end of a residential cul-de-sac, against the forest, within walking distance of the village center.

English spoken - Hablo espagnol un poquito lo entiendo bien - Io parlo un poco italiano pero lo capisco abbastanza bene

Ideal for a quiet stay in a charming, well-equipped location.
Small campsite registered with the town hall.

Quiet location suited to customers keen to enjoy the coast, ocean, lakes and forest.

Unfortunately, children under 9 cannot be accommodated.

Pets are not allowed - even if they are small, friendly and well-behaved...

There are no vans or vehicles on the property, only tents. Vehicles are parked at the entrance to the property to respect the peace and quiet of the campers.
However, if you would like to stay in a caravan, van or camper van, please contact me to find out how this can be done. The idea is that there should be no "traffic" near the tents.

Secure, fenced plot, against the forest, in a quiet location. Direct access to the bike path and village center via the forest (10 min. walk), as well as to the sports center and children's park.

2 very pleasant dry toilets and 1 dry pissoir (always clean and odorless), large outdoor showers (with hot water available), toilet area, dishwashing area with 2 large sinks, storage shed for your equipment, and this year a large 36 m2 barnum will protect you from the sun or rain during your meals, with tables and chairs and of course sunlight.
A freezer is at your disposal 24 hours a day to freeze your ice creams, and you'll be able to recharge your phones and external batteries autonomously.
There is no electricity on site.
Drinking water on tap, and hot water from a dedicated tap.
I can lend ice packs and a cool box.

There are solar-powered lights wherever needed on the site.

We look forward to welcoming you to a charming and tranquil space, designed to ensure you have an excellent vacation.
If you have any special requests, please do not hesitate to contact me.
It is possible to privatize the entire site for family reunions, yoga classes, workshops of all kinds (camping site only or site + 4-person canvas bungalow), as long as the activities do not generate any nuisance.

The activities
Of course, cycling - the cycle path can be reached directly from the site in 3 minutes through the forest.
The ocean is 18 km away (on flat ground) by road or cycle path (50 mn by bike or 20 mn by car).
The beaches of Les Lacs - Gastes - Parentis - Biscarrosse are also accessible by bike, with a section on a small road.

Other things
Please note that the prices quoted are for a tent pitch.
Prices vary according to the season (high season from July 15 to August 19).
Unfortunately, the site does not allow you to allocate a price according to low or high season.

I give a discount depending on the length of stay.
Very long stays are possible (over 15 days).
For all other types of vehicle (caravans, vans and camping cars), please contact me, as I can accommodate them under certain conditions (no camping cars in high season).
For requests of more than 14 nights, please contact me to offer you a discount depending on the length of your stay.

The campsite is located equidistant between Bordeaux and Biarritz/Bayonne, south of the Bassin d'Arcachon and a good hour from Spain.
A few chickens will be your companions.
On the route of the Velodyssée.
The charming village offers all amenities and more - except ATM and gas station.
Tourist tax is charged in addition to the pitch price between June 15 and September 30.
Please be sure to give us your telephone number when you register on the site or when your reservation is confirmed, so that we can get in touch.
Gamping - gamers welcome.
