Camping Les Dunes, Biscarrosse
A large well-equipped campsite in the Landes pine forest close to Atlantic surf beaches near Biscarrosse, with wooden chalets, pitches, and a range of facilities including a pool, bar, and sports areas. An excellent budget option for families visiting the coast.
Camping Les Dunes is a well-equipped campsite set within the pine forests of the Landes département in Nouvelle-Aquitaine, situated on Route des Lacs near Biscarrosse, one of the region's primary Atlantic resort towns. The site lies a short distance from the Atlantic surf beaches for which Biscarrosse is celebrated, as well as the large freshwater lakes — Étang de Biscarrosse et de Parentis and Étang de Cazaux — that define this distinctive stretch of the Landes coastline.
The campsite offers a range of accommodation options to suit different budgets and preferences, including individual pitches for tents, caravans, and motorhomes, as well as self-contained wooden chalets and mobile homes for families who prefer not to bring their own equipment. The chalets are simply but adequately furnished, featuring basic kitchen facilities, sleeping areas, and small terraces overlooking the pine trees.
A substantial outdoor swimming pool complex forms the centrepiece of the site's leisure facilities, providing a popular gathering point during the peak summer months of July and August. Additional amenities include a bar and snack area, multi-sport courts, children's play areas, and a laundry facility. A communal kitchen and BBQ areas serve guests in pitches and chalets who prefer to self-cater. WiFi is available across main areas of the site, though coverage may be limited at more distant pitches.
Biscarrosse's large surf beach is accessible by bicycle through the forest tracks that crisscross the Landes pine trees, and the campsite's location makes it a practical base for exploring the Atlantic coast by bike or car. The town of Biscarrosse itself is approximately 5 kilometres away, offering supermarkets, restaurants, and the Musée Historique de l'Hydraviation, which celebrates the area's seaplane heritage.
Camping Les Dunes is primarily a family-oriented site with a lively atmosphere in high season. Advance booking is strongly recommended for July and August as the site fills rapidly during the French school holiday period. The site operates seasonally, typically from late spring through early autumn.
