Pitches with plenty of greenery (added by manager 31 Mar 2023)

Oysters, a specialty in bassin d'arcachon

Family-friendly site five minutes’ walk from the beach in Arcachon Bay
15 minutes by public transport to reach Arcachon and Gujan-Mestras
Play area; barbecues provided and restaurants a five-minute walk away

What’s on the menu at Camping Arcachon La Hume? Direct access to a sandy beach, sublime sunsets over Arcachon Bay and plenty of oyster-eating in Gujan-Mestras, 15 minutes’ journey away by public transport, for sure. Water activities, coastal walks and more mouth-watering cuisine are likely too. You see, this small, quiet and family-friendly campsite is based in La Hume in Gironde, just five minutes’ walk from the town's beach, which is lined with tamarisk and pine trees. Access is through a gate located at the bottom of the site, so families, couples and friends have easy access to the fine sand and the water (which handily has supervised swimming). You might want to leave your car behind, as the site is also a 10-minute walk and a five-minute train (in total, a 15-minute journey) from the centre of Arcachon (a shopping hub with gorgeous 19th-century villas and a lively shopping quarter). In the other direction, Gujan-Mestras (a 10-minute walk and a five-minute train – 15 minutes in total) is a hub for oyster farming and has clusters of tasty oyster restaurants. Adventurous sorts can jump right into watersports in Arcachon Bay, whether they fancy sailing on a catamaran, windsurfing or surfing. No matter how wet or wild the activities, back at base, this peaceful place is a top spot to recharge your batteries (with a belly full of oysters, of course, or something else tasty that you’ve sourced from the restaurants within five minutes’ walk of the site).

Electric optional hardstanding and grass pitch

Liked: Nothing good about this site

Disliked: It was difficult to find as it didn’t have the same name as the pitch up site. The site was not well kept with small pitches. The welcome was not friendly or helpfully the electricity needed really long cables to reach - too long for us. And then they kicked us out at 9.30 which meant a very unrelaxing morning

Disliked: Horaires de chek UP tardive, difficulté pour sortir la voiture du camping si accueil fermé.

Electric optional hardstanding and grass pitch

Liked: Great location by the beach. Good, clean facilities. Friendly and helpful staff.

Disliked: Took a while to locate the campsite as the name on the gate isn’t the same as the one on Pitchup. For location, head to the municipal campsite and it’s the one next door! Couldn’t park next to the tent, but car was in a secure car park close by.

Local attractions

Kids (and big kids) can greet the lambs, calves and piglets at La Coccinelle (35 minutes’ walk). The farm park also has slides, log flume and rollercoasters for a bigger thrill. With more leisure parks and inland lakes in Arcachon (15 minutes’ journey by public transport), this site is set up nicely for family breaks. Being positioned right on the coastal path, there are lots of places your feet can take you, too. Wild landscapes include the Dune of Pilat (around two hours and 20 minutes’ walk), the tallest sand dune in Europe, or the Réserve Ornithologique Du Teich (an hour and 45 minutes’ walk or 15 minutes’ drive), a favourite dwelling spot for a variety of birds. Take the ferry over to Le Phare du Cap Ferret (two hours’ and 35 minutes’ walk and ferry ride) to get some fabulous views of the bay (after climbing 258 steps). Port de la Teste (45 minutes’ walk) is closer by and packed with oyster farmers lugging around oyster sacks, as well as a fair few waterfront oyster restaurants.
