  • Small, quiet woodland site edging Saint-Christoly-de-Blaye in Gironde
  • Lac du Moulin Blanc 20 minutes’ walk; historic Blaye 20 minutes’ drive
  • Pétanque, playground, ping pong and small animals on site
Whether you’re searching for a peaceful bolthole, a family-friendly vibe or a small site set among a Gironde woodland, they’ve got you covered at Camping Le Maine Blanc, a laidback spot with no on-site entertainment, five minutes’ drive from Saint-Christoly-de-Blaye. The pitches are shaded from the heat of the sun by a canopy of trees alive with the gentle chirping of birds. With only a handful of pitches on site, it’s also a quiet hideaway where you and the kids can chill and enjoy life at your own speed. Foodwise, between mid-June to the end of September, food trucks roll up to sell burgers on Friday, Saturday and Sunday and pizzas on Thursday evenings. The restaurant-bar, with its informal terrace, is open during high season. An outdoor swimming pool (open during high season only) will keep families busy, and you can play ping pong or pétanque while younger guests meet the resident ducks, goats and rabbits or let off steam in the playground. Rest time required? Read a book borrowed from the reception, or play a board game with the kids.

Electric grass and earth motorhome pitch

Liked So friendly and amazing staff.. but the fresh bread and pastries baked that morning and collected from reception is a hidden gem.
The site was basic but had everything you needed. We came out of season so missed the food trucks pool and bar but still as a stop off location it was pure perfection for a night in the wilderness

Recommend to friends Visit again

Cheap, bar at weekends I think, was a nice vibe when it was open

From the manager: Hello,
Thank you for the feedback about us and our campsite. It's just the two of us, my husband and I, who manage it, so it's a pleasure.
As for the somewhat dilapidated accommodations, we're slowly removing everything, and as for the bathrooms, we're trying to find a solution to renovate everything.
As for the Wi-Fi, yes, we apologize. The equipment was damaged during a storm, and it took the technical service 10 days to respond. Again, our apologies for this inconvenience.
Best regards,
Franck and Isabelle

Bonjour,
Merci pour votre retour sur nous et notre camping. Nous sommes seuls, mon mari et moi, à le gérer, c'est donc un plaisir.
Pour ce qui est des hébergements un peu vétustes, nous procédons progressivement au démontage, et pour les sanitaires, nous essayons de trouver une solution pour tout rénover.
Pour ce qui est du Wi-Fi, oui, nous nous excusons. L'équipement a été endommagé lors d'une tempête, et le service technique a mis 10 jours à intervenir. Encore une fois, nous vous prions de nous excuser pour ce désagrément.
Cordialement,
Franck et Isabelle

Local attractions

Anyone content to while away their time lakeside can wander through pine forest to Lac du Moulin Blanc (20 minutes’ walk), where there’s a sandy beach for soaking up the sun, fishing piers, swimming areas, hiking trails and a bowling alley. Take a picnic to eat on the shore or head to the restaurant for a chilled wine on the terrace. If you’re looking for more sporting action, Natéa (five minutes’ drive) is a 20-hectare park with treetop rope courses, archery boards and the thrills and spills of laser games. Take younger kids to Asso Califourchon (15 minutes), a children’s farm with curious goats, camels and handsome Highland cows to feed, as well as ponies to ride. If you have teens, introduce them to the joys of wakeboarding at Castor Wake Park (20 minutes). Sneak some history into your holiday with a stroll around the Vauban-designed citadel in Blaye, or wander the historic lanes of gorgeous Bourg-sur-Gironde (both 20 minutes), with a spectacular location on the side of the Dordogne River. Wine buffs may want to tour the Cité du Vin in Bordeaux (an hour), where there’s also an intriguing water installation in the monumental Place de la Bourse.
