  • 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 five minutes’ drive from Saint-Christoly-de-Blaye. The site is open all year round and all the pitches have electric hook-ups; they’re also 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, 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 also open from June to October. 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 reception, or play a board game with the kids.

Stephen B.

Electric grass and earth motorhome pitch

Liked Easy to find and in a great location, very friendly welcome with good size plots near facilities. The pool is well kept and plenty of seating around it. There is some food and drink available if you don’t want to go to the nearby supermarket. I would definitely come back

Disliked Wifi wasn,t the best

From the manager: Bonjour à vous,
Merci pour ce retour indiquant que nous sommes facile à trouver et l'accueil très chaleureux que vous avez reçu.
Oui, nous avons de beaux emplacements spacieux.
Nous avons effectivement le food truck de présent sur le camping les vendredis, samedis, dimanche et mardis sur place pour vous restaurer.

Nous sommes navrés de voir que la wifi n'était pas top.

Au plaisir
Isabelle et Franck

We're sorry to see that the Wi-Fi wasn't great.

Best regards,

Electric grass and earth motorhome pitch

Liked Lovely relaxed site with large pitches and very warm welcome on arrival.

Disliked Shower and toilet facilities while clean and with lots of hot water are very tired indeed and really need to be refurbished.

From the manager: Hello Madam,
I remember you coming with your little van. Thank you for this feedback.

Regarding the restrooms, I agree with you; they are original to the campsite (1986). We bought the facility four years ago, and as stated in March 2025, we have decided to close in December 2025 (because we are open year-round) to renovate them..

Hoping to see you again,
Isabelle and Franck

Bonjour Madame,
Je me souviens de votre venue avec votre petit fourgon. Merci pour ce retour.

Pour ce qui est des sanitaire, je suis d'accord avec vous, ils sont d'origine du camping (1986), nous avons racheté la structure il y a 4 ans et comme indiqué en Mars 2025, nous avons pris la décision de fermer au mois de décembre 2025 (car nous sommes ouverts à l'année) pour les rénover.

Espérant vous revoir,
Isabelle et Franck

Phillip H.

Electric grass and earth touring caravan or trailer tent pitch

Liked Warm and friendly welcome at reception. Large well maintained grass pitch, water and grey on pitch. Clean and well kept facilities, plenty of hot water in showers. Bar and food on site. Swimming pool being prepped for high season looked good. Supermarket and cheap petroleum 5 mins away. Would highly recommend this site and we will return to explore further as this time was just an overnight stop. Wish we had booked longer, but a good excuse to come back.

Disliked Nothing to dislike

From the manager: Bonjour Phillip
Merci pour votre petit message et merci pour votre confiance, c'est agréable de savoir que nos clients sont heureux au sein de notre hâvre de paix, tranquille, en pleine forêt, ou vous pouvez trouver tout sur place.
Au plaisir,
Isabelle et Franck

Electric grass and earth motorhome pitch

Liked Peaceful site.

Disliked Sanitary facilities pretty basic, toilet brushes could do with a clean. Pitches were muddy. Motorhome service point, not large enough for 7 metre van and not level, so unable to completely empty grey waste

From the manager: Bonjour Madame
Nous prenons connaissance de votre retour, mais après deux jours de pluie intense, les sols sont effectivement humiques, mais non boueux...et sur herbe....
En ce qui concerne l'air de vidange, la dalle de vidange est d'origine et les campings cars sont de plus en plus grands, nous allons remédier en faisant un marquage au sol de façon à ce que les prochains clients aient un point de repère pour bien se stationner.
La direction.

Für die Durchreise auf jeden Fall gerne wieder.

Electric grass and earth motorhome pitch

Liked Sehr schön angelegt mit einem sehr guten Preis. Kleine Anlage, das ganze Jahr geöffnet.

Disliked In die Jahre gekommene Sanitäranlagen die erneuerungsbedürftig sind.

From the manager: Bonjour Georg,

Merci pour votre retour et merci pour votre confiance, puisque vous avez, avec votre compagne, repris une nuit supplémentaire dans notre camping.

Concernant les sanitaires, nous avons prévu de faire des travaux, mais pour ce faire, il faut couper les arrivées d'eaux et donc fermer à la clientèle le temps de les rénover.
Ce qui n'est pas évident car, comme vous l'indiquez, nous sommes ouverts à l'année.

Mais nous allons devoir envisager de fermer le camping à la clientèle de passage, le temps de faire les travaux.

Au plaisir de vous revoir.
Isabelle.

Simon C.

Electric grass and earth motorhome pitch

Liked We were greeted by a lovely host, very friendly. Nice size pitch which was private with hedges on three sides. Very quiet and peaceful. The showers were lovely and warm. The Bordeaux wine in the shop was nice as well .

Disliked Didn’t dislike anything, although the showers could do with being updated but they were very clean

From the manager: Bonjour Simon,
C'est vraiment très plaisant de lire les commentaires sur l'accueil que vous recevez et cela me touche énormément. Merci à vous de votre confiance.
Oui, le cadre est vraiment magnifique avec les petits oiseaux qui chantent.
Nous avons prévu de faire des travaux dans les sanitaires, mais pour ce faire, il faut qu'on ferme à la clientèle le temps de les rénover. Ce qui n'est pas évident car nous sommes ouverts à l'année. Mais nous allons devoir l'envisager.
Au plaisir de vous revoir.

Jacqui C.

Electric grass and earth touring caravan or trailer tent pitch

Liked Large grassy pitches, excellent free WiFi on the pitch. EHU and water close by. Can collect warm bread, croissants, pain au chocolate from reception after 830am. Log burner in toilet block to keep warm!

Disliked Although on the map this site is just off the motorway, because of the toll booths you cannot rejoin until the next peage. However this was a 15 minute easy drive with a large caravan along country roads.

From the manager: Bonjour Jacqui
Merci à vous pour ce magnifique retour et cette jolie note.
Ce fut un plaisir et vous accueillir.
J'espère que le voyage s'est bien passé.
Au plaisir de vous revoir un jour,
Isabelle

David Andrew G.

Electric grass and earth motorhome pitch

Liked The site was good, not to big and was open at this time of the yes! Restaurant and bar also, but were unable to use it as 1 of us is veggie and it was very limited

Disliked The only problem was no docs came through to us for check in and who ever or what ever allocated the stands paid no attention to the size of our motor home, this is the second time this week

From the manager: Bonjour Monsieur,
Je vous remercie pour votre avis et pour cette jolie notation.

Je pense que vous avez du vous tromper de camping car nous n'avons pas de restauration au sein de notre établissement.

De plus, j'accueille, je finalise le dossier administratif et je place directement les clients sur les parcelles moi-même. Je vous ai même demandé si vous aviez un long câble électrique et l'adaptateur de prise française.
Et je vous ai demandé si la parcelle vous convenez :-)

Au plaisir de vous revoir,
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.
