A tranquil campsite on the Atlantic Coast with all-weather watersports and cycling action to enjoy

Aire naturelle campsites appeal to anyone who rates personal space above fancy amenities and organised fun. Typically found in attractive back gardens of French family homes, only 25 pitches are permitted and they’re spacious. To find a peaceful, unspoilt aire naturelle site so near to beaches and lakes is as good as it gets for nature- loving campers en France.

Welcome to the home of affable hostess Aude Libante. Her garden is a pretty, asymetric field with a few trees at each end and a couple of barns in between. When the weather is so hot that only sea breezes will keep you from melting, the coast is just 3 miles (5 km) away. And when the Atlantic currents are too strong to swim in, you’re on the middle edge of the biggest natural lake in France, Lac d’Hourtin-Carcans. Hourtin beach, to the north, is a family favourite and further south lies Lac de Lacanau, famous for international surfing competitions every August. White, sandy beaches and still waters offer supervised swimming and water sports. The nearest is Maubuisson; turn right out of the campsite and follow the signs and you’ll be windsurfing in minutes.
