  • Family-friendly site on the edge of a Landes pond
  • High season waterpark with two pools and a three-lane waterslide
  • Bouncy castle, trampoline and barbecue areas; 9km to a lake
Come to Camping La Comtesse if you want a family-friendly place to stay with lots of greenery in the Landes region and first-rate facilities – and a rather spectacular waterpark too. The waterpark, set up next to the pond and open during high season only, has two swimming pools as well as a waterslide with three lanes. More bathing – from a beach – is at the splendidly named Lac De Sames-Domaine Des Nymphes about nine kilometres away; the Landes coast is a 25km drive away and has popular destinations like Hossegor and Capbreton. On land and on site, kids have a bouncy castle, trampoline and swings, as well as a kids' club (during high season only) to keep them busy. There's table tennis and table football for competitive hours, a snack bar (during high season only) and barbecue areas to sort out the food. Activities run every day and musical entertainment is held on some evenings between mid July and mid August. The facilities block has showers, sinks, toilets, washing-up sinks and a laundry corner with sinks. There's also a facility room designed for disabled guests with a shower, toilet and sink, as well as a family room with baby-changing facilities and a baby bathtub. Approximately 800 metres from the site, there are chemical disposal and water supply points.

Liked: This is a beautiful and well-kept campsite. The pool and lake are absolutely wonderful, it’s so peaceful and we loved hearing the owls at night. Fantastic basque music on the Friday night at the bar/restaurant, and we didn’t eat but the food looked delicious. Spacious pitches separated by hedges. Wonderful spot if you have younger children - they loved the pools and the slides.

Disliked: Lack of toilet paper or soap in the bathrooms. Inconsistent hot water in the showers and washing up areas.

Liked: The large pitch size was excellent, the BBQs, the coffee and staff at the cafe, the overall experience was fantastic.

Disliked: It would have been better had toilet roll been provided, or at least clearly signed that it was not available. Also the lack of power outlets to charge phones etc.

From the manager: Hello, Thank you for your feedback and for the kind words about our large pitch sizes, BBQs, coffee, and our staff at the café. We're glad to hear that you had a fantastic overall experience. Regarding the toilet paper, you're correct that we do not provide it in the sanitary facilities. We understand how this might have caused some inconvenience, and we appreciate your suggestion about clearer signage. As for the power outlets, we do have an electrical terminal with one socket per pitch. However, the terminal may not always be located directly on your pitch due to the large size of our spaces. We recommend that campers bring an extension cord of at least 10 meters to ensure easy access to electricity. Thank you again for your valuable feedback. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back in the future. Best regards,

Liked: Tranquilité Calme Bonne humeur

Disliked: La personne de l’accueil n’est pas indulgente du tout, elle a fais payer une nuit supplémentaire pour 3h de retard sur le retour de l’emplacement car il y’avait eu une mauvaise compréhension sur la durée du séjour. Alors que personne était présent sur l’emplacement après. Je trouve personnellement que c’est très dur pour une bande de copain qui pars pour la première fois surtout que la nuit est à 80euros. En plus de ça nous avions déjà payer le camping beaucoup plus cher que la normale ( +200). Suite à ça je ne conseille pas le camping. Ça ne donne pas envie d’être honnête du tout, en tout cas la prochaine fois on partiras dans aucun retour de notre part.

From the manager: Bonjour, Nous sommes désolés que votre expérience n'ait pas été à la hauteur de vos attentes. Cependant, nous tenons à préciser que les départs des campeurs doivent se faire avant 11h, comme indiqué dans notre règlement. Vous êtes revenus sur l'emplacement à 17h, ce qui a malheureusement entamé une nouvelle journée. En plein mois d'août, et un emplacement occupé ne peut pas être reloué pour la journée. C'est pourquoi, afin de respecter nos engagements envers les autres clients, nous avons appliqué le tarif correspondant. Enfin, pour votre information, le tarif de 80 euros était pour un groupe de 6 personnes, ce qui est en adéquation avec nos prix habituels. Nous comprenons votre déception, mais ces mesures visent à assurer une gestion équitable pour tous nos clients. Nous espérons que vous pourrez comprendre notre position. Cordialement,

Mooi gelegen camping.

Liked: Mooie camping, grote staanplaats. 2 x per dag schoonmaak Genoeg toiletten en douches.

Disliked: Heggen laag gesnoeid, weinig privacy. Geen handhaving tijden betreft auto's na 23.00 rijden op het terrein. Geen handhaving qua rust, lawaaierige jeugd s'nachts. Kantine qua eten was niet elke dag open.

From the manager: Bonjour, Merci d'avoir partagé votre avis sur notre camping. Nous sommes heureux que vous ayez apprécié la beauté du site, la taille des emplacements ainsi que la propreté des installations. Nous nous efforçons de maintenir un haut niveau de qualité pour que nos visiteurs se sentent à l'aise. Nous avons bien noté vos remarques concernant la taille des haies, le respect des horaires de circulation des véhicules, ainsi que le calme nocturne. Nous allons étudier ces points avec notre équipe pour améliorer ces aspects et garantir une meilleure expérience pour tous nos campeurs. Concernant le restaurant nous regrettons que celle-ci n'ait pas été ouverte tous les jours pour les repas, c'est une gérance. Nous prendrons des mesures pour mieux organiser ce service à l'avenir. Merci encore pour votre retour, qui nous aide à progresser. Nous espérons avoir le plaisir de vous accueillir de nouveau et de vous offrir un séjour encore plus agréable. Cordialement,

Liked: Pretty site, nicely shaded for the heat during our stay. Reception was friendly and helpful. Had a working washing machine..big relief. The themed meal nights were enjoyable as well as busy.

Disliked: We took a 15mtr electric cable thinking this would be ample but downside was not enough electric sockets for the amount of people. Extra electric point need to be closer together or more of them. We had to hire an extension cable because of it and when it came to leaving we didn’t get our €10 back!! Washing/toilet facilities were too open to all and sundry, opening a loo door and finding a bike parked in front it is a bit of a health and safety issue. As our week went on we found the cleanliness of said area slowly got worse, not cleaned enough. We spent the weekend there and to our surprise the cafe area was shut Saturday/Sunday evening. In fact not open at all on the Sunday!! Shame so many people were expecting it to be open. It’s not a site that is close to restaurants or bars..

Liked: We stayed at La Comtesse for two weeks with children aged 5 and 8. The campsite is very family friendly: it felt safe enough for the children to run around and to play football, cricket and frisbee. Their highlight of the whole holiday was the pool. (We did a lot of other things!) None of us fish, but the pond was a point of discussion and we liked walking around it looking for different birds. The receptionist was extremely helpful. She gave us lots of excellent recommendations for meals out and activities. We had a delicious meal at La Guinguette and a brilliant day out at Base de Pop on her recommendation.

Disliked: The toilet block is cleaned twice a day, but it is a bit tired. The snack bar isn't open for dinner/entertainment every night. This is, however, clearly explained on arrival and on the app.

From the manager: Bonjour, Merci infiniment pour votre superbe avis et pour la note de 10/10 ! Nous sommes ravis que vous et vos enfants ayez passé deux semaines agréables parmi nous. C’est merveilleux d’entendre que vous avez trouvé notre camping sûr et familial, et que vos enfants ont particulièrement apprécié la piscine. Nous sommes également heureux que le plan d'eau et l'observation des oiseaux aient ajouté un point d'intérêt à votre séjour. Nous tenons à vous remercier pour vos commentaires positifs sur notre réceptionniste. Nous sommes ravis que ses recommandations pour les repas et les activités aient contribué à rendre votre séjour encore plus agréable. Concernant vos remarques, nous prenons bonne note de la nécessité de moderniser le bloc sanitaire et nous travaillerons à l'améliorer. Nous comprenons également que la disponibilité du snack bar pour le dîner peut être un point à améliorer, bien que nous ayons essayé de communiquer ces informations clairement à l'arrivée et via l'application. Merci encore pour vos retours constructifs et pour votre recommandation. Nous espérons avoir le plaisir de vous accueillir de nouveau très bientôt. Cordialement,

Local attractions

Camping La Comtesse is 25 kilometres from the Landes coast and 40 kilometres from the Spanish border, in an area with 202 buildings listed as historical monuments, plus many old towns, abbeys and local festivals. An equestrian centre is three kilometres away and canoeing available within 10. The spa and market town of Dax, known for its warm waters and muddy treatments since the time of the Romans, is 12 kilometres north of the site. After being slathered, wander around the town to see its Fontaine Hot, its fourth-century ramparts, 13th-century cathedral and the formal gardens of the town's Parc du Sarrat – do remember to wash your visage first… To the south-west of Dax lies Bayonne, six kilometres from the Atlantic and north of Biarritz. Its old town centre is one of the protected French Historic Towns: potter around its cobbled streets to see the half-timbered buildings fronting the Nive river, the town cathedral and the tall Basque houses painted in green and red.
