  • Friendly site in a pinewood forest less than 2km from the beach
  • Within an hour of Médoc vineyards and 3km from Soulac-sur-Mer
  • Heated pool, paddling pool, playground and sports court
Welcome to the land of joie de vivre (that's the good life for non-natives who haven't brushed up on their French just yet…). Set among a pine forest, this family-friendly resort is less than two kilometres from la mer, wide sandy beaches and water-based activities like surfing, canoeing, paddleboarding and yachting. Its Médoc peninsula location is among vineyards, historic châteaux and local farmers’ markets too, and plenty of scenic cycle paths lie nearby. This pristine family-run park has been happily and warmly welcoming guests for more than 25 years and has added plenty to keep both littlies and large ones entertained: a heated pool with neighbouring paddling pool for starters, plus a playground for the under-12s, a sports court, a pétanque pitch and ping pong tables. You can also rent bikes on site (as well as trailers and seats for tiny ones to tag along in), making pedals to the seaside a cinch. Rumour has it that the site’s bartender is an expert mixologist, serving up cracking cocktails alongside good Médoc wines, beers and other crisply cold drinks to keep you nicely supplied all day and into the evening throughout the dance and live music nights put on at the park in high season. Also during the school holidays, the Camping des Pins team organises regular entertainment and activities for the kids' club. The site restaurant serves up pizzas and local cuisine; otherwise you can cook on the communal barbecue, or eat out in nearby Soulac-sur-Mer.

What customers say

Electric grass pitch

Liked Sehr gefallen hat uns zuerst das sehr nette Personal an der Rezeption und auch sonst morgens beim Baquette holen und abends an der Bar. Die unkomplizierte Weise ein längeres Kabel zu leihen (ohne Gebühr) und die Platzaufteilung, wo jeder so seine Privatsphäre finden kann. Die Lage finden wir optimal, wenn auch man bis zum Strand (sehr weitläufig) mit dem Fahrrad sehr gut fahren kann. Selbst das Frühstück an der Bar morgens bei der Abfahrt war sehr lecker. Im ganzen stimmt das Preis/Leistungsverhältnis.

Disliked Die Sanitär
Einrichtung ist etwas in die Jahre gekommen, aber für die üblichen französischen Verhältnisse immer sehr sauber.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Vielen herzlichen Dank für Ihre ausführliche und positive Rückmeldung!
Es freut uns sehr, dass Sie unser freundliches Personal, die unkomplizierte Hilfe mit dem Verlängerungskabel, die gute Platzaufteilung und die Lage zum Strand so geschätzt haben. Schön, dass Ihnen auch das Frühstück an der Bar gefallen hat und Sie das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis als passend empfunden haben.

Bezüglich der Sanitäranlagen danken wir Ihnen für Ihre ehrliche Anmerkung. Wir wissen, dass die Ausstattung etwas älter ist, freuen uns aber sehr, dass Sie die Sauberkeit dennoch als sehr gut empfunden haben. Wir arbeiten kontinuierlich daran, die Anlagen zu verbessern und modernisieren.

Wir hoffen, Sie bald wieder bei uns begrüßen zu dürfen!

Electric grass pitch

Liked Great welcome and friendly staff.. pizza from snack bar was really good. Soulac was lovely and just a 10 min drive. Pool on site.

Disliked Pitch (for tent) overlooked from every side. Bit of a long walk to toilets. Toilets often appeared dirty/unflushed on arrival- this seemed due to a poor flush system. Need to provide own toilet roll.
No parking on pitch, had to parkk outside on road a catpark usually full.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you very much for your feedback and for highlighting the warm welcome, our friendly team, and the quality of the pizzas — we're happy you enjoyed those aspects!
We’re also glad you took the time to explore Soulac and make use of the pool.

We're sorry to hear that your pitch didn’t offer as much privacy as you’d hoped, and that the toilet facilities didn’t meet your expectations. Your comments regarding the flush system and cleanliness are noted — we’re already working on improvements in this area.

Thank you again for your honest review — it helps us improve, and we hope to have the chance to welcome you again in the future!

Good and would have been happy to do a few more nights.

Electric grass pitch

Liked Good clean facilities. Not too far from beach and quiet atmosphere
. pitch was big and had areas of shade. A good stay.

Disliked Pool was very small but there was always the beach. Did a very long journey and planned on having meal in the restaurant but on arrival told it was mussels and frites night and had to book and no other option. Would have been nice to have had a meal but ended up driving to Soulac Village which was nice. Quite expensive for a pitch but it was a good quality.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feed back !
We're really glad you appreciated the clean facilities, the peaceful atmosphere, the spacious shaded pitch, and the proximity to the beach — it's great to know you had a good stay overall.

We’re sorry to hear that the restaurant setup on mussels & fries night didn’t meet your expectations after a long journey. Your comment is helpful, and we'll look into how we can better communicate dining options in the future.

As for the pool, we understand it’s on the smaller side — but as you mentioned, the beach is thankfully close by for a refreshing swim!

Thank you again for your honest feedback, and we’d love the chance to welcome you back another time!

Liked Private sanitation fantastic with fridge and hot plate. Bar and takeaway good. Pool good.

Disliked Bit of a shady pitch we had by a public footpath but many good pitches on site.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you very much for your feedback! 😊
We’re glad you enjoyed the private sanitation facilities, the bar, and the pool — great to hear they made your stay more comfortable.

We appreciate your note about the pitch near the footpath. While some areas are indeed more shaded, we're happy to help guests find a sunnier spot next time — don’t hesitate to let us know your preference when booking, we always try to make our best.

We hope to welcome you back soon!

Electric grass pitch

Liked Sehr schöner, durch Pinien beschatteter, großzügiger Stellplatz, freundliche, deutschsprachige Rezeption, angenehme Live-Musik am Abend in wirklich toller Atmosphäre, Sanitäranlagen sauber und ausreichend, ruhige und entspannte Umgebung - alles fein:)

Disliked Vielleicht stört der Weg zum Strand einige, es ist ein 25-minütiger Walk, teils durch den Pinienwald, absolut in Ordnung

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Vielen lieben Dank für Ihre ausführliche und positive Bewertung!
Es freut uns sehr, dass Ihnen der großzügige, schattige Stellplatz, unser freundliches Team an der Rezeption sowie die entspannte Atmosphäre mit Live-Musik gefallen haben. Auch dass Sie unsere Sanitäranlagen als sauber und ausreichend empfunden haben, hören wir sehr gerne!

Danke auch für Ihre Anmerkung zum Weg zum Strand – für manche mag er etwas lang erscheinen, aber wie Sie sagen: der Spaziergang durch den Pinienwald hat durchaus seinen Reiz.

Wir würden uns freuen, Sie bald wieder bei uns begrüßen zu dürfen!

Local attractions

Plenty of cycle paths lie nearby for two-wheeled tours of the local area – and the splendid seaside spot of Soulac-sur-Mer is a mere two kilometres from the park, so it's also easily bikeable. The Médoc peninsula is perhaps most famed for its top-notch vineyards so you’ll be able to do a lot of wine sampling and vineyard touring while you’re here. One of the region’s best-known wineries, Château Lynch-Bages, is less than an hour’s drive from base for tastings and guided tours (advance bookings essential); Château Lanessan, 55 minutes' drive away, is also well worth checking out. Depending on how far along the waterway you want to travel, you can take guided boat tours of the Gironde estuary and its islands from the ports of Pauillac, Blaye or Bordeaux, about an hour and three quarters away.
