  • Well-equipped Aquitaine family park on the shore of Lake Aureilhan
  • A 10-minute drive to Mimizan Plage; an hour to Dune du Pilat
  • Large aquatic complex on site, plus kids' activities and bike hire
Pool or beach, beach or pool? What a holiday dilemma to have – but at Camping Le Lac you’ve got every right simply to answer ‘both, thanks’ for an easy way to solve it. That's possible because this Aquitaine site is about a 10-minute drive from the beaches of Mimizan Plage, which has around 10 kilometres of sand to its name, with space for surfers as well as family swims. In July and August, the site runs a daily shuttle from the site to the nearby beaches and shops, so you don't need to arrange your own transportation. Those aren’t the only options when it comes to water, either – as the name suggests, this site is on the shores of Lake Aureilhan, where you can hire paddleboards and kayaks or just chill out with a picnic on the lakeside. And it’s also got its own extensive aquatic area on site, with a paddling pool, splash zone and Jacuzzi as well as a lovely 450 m² main swimming pool. There’s plenty to do away from the water, as well – the site has a miniature golf course, a pétanque court, a volleyball court and table tennis as well as a play area and various organised activities for the kids (five days a week in July and August for ages 4 to 14). Bikes can be hired on site to help you get around easily, and the reception team are on hand to give you advice on places to go and things to do in the area. Time for a rest and a little pick-me-up? The snack bar is open throughout the day, providing coffees at breakfast time, ice creams in the afternoon and pizzas in the evening. There’s also a poolside bar where you can grab an aperitif to accompany your sunbathing.

What customers say

Great forest spot by a lake with big, shady sites. Staff are ace, vibe's buzzing, and the pool's a ripper. Lake's right there, and it's an easy cycle to the beach. Downside: loos are a bit ancient, grubby, and often short on lights, soap, TP. Some campers copped noise too, especially at night.

Catrin W.

Unpowered gravel and sand tent site (small)

Liked We liked everything there, the location, on a really beautiful Lake, we went on a Pedal boat on it and jumped in from that, the swimming Pool Area, very Well kept and Kind of luxurious, the site itself with Lots of trees, bathrooms totally fine, Bar and Restaurant really good, not expensive and super friendly Staff, live music in the evening, and a good shuttle Service to the ocean for people with no car like us.

Disliked We did not need such a big spot, there should be smaller and cheaper spaces for backpackers.

Unpowered gravel and sand tent site (small)

Liked a lovely site next to a gorgeous lake, with big pitches, nice toilet facilities & really helpful staff. A lovely site with lots of shade from trees.
Cycling through the forest to the beach was amazing.

Disliked It wasn't busy when we were there but there was some noise (music & shouting) from some pitches which went on till very late, and would probably be worse when it's busy.
not free wifi.

Liked Le calme du camping. Nous avons dormi en tente et les espaces tente sont proches des sanitaire.
Le bar le soir est très agréable.
Le personnel en général est agréable.

Disliked Les sanitaires qui ne sont pas propres. Les toilettes sont sales des le matin. Les douches sont sales et pas pratique. C est compliqué de se douché avec une enfant de 5 ans, les cabines sont petites. Il manque également de lumière, quand le soir arrive nous sommes dans la pénombre pour se brosser les dents.

Local attractions

So… to the beach? Mimizan Plage (10 minutes’ drive) is a lovely place to spend the day, either playing in the sand or taking a lesson so you can join the surfers that flock to this part of the world to hit the waves. There are several other beaches along this stretch of coast too – but none are quite as impressive as the huge Dune du Pilat (an hour), the tallest dune in Europe at 110 metres high. Inland watery options include the lakes of Biscarosse (25 minutes) and Sanguinet (35 minutes), both of which have lifeguarded swimming areas in calm water. Away from the water, there’s horse riding (10 minutes) or treetop trails at Landes Adventure Park (10 minutes’ walk). For a change of pace, slow things down on a visit to Écomusée de Marquèze (35 minutes), where you can learn all about the life of the Landes in the 19th century at an interactive museum that’s also got a vintage steam train to ride on.
