  • 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. 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. 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. 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.

Primitive gravel and sand tent or campervan campsite (large)

Liked: Grosse Stellplätze unter Pinien, guter Pool, schöne Umgebung mit dem See. Freundliches Personal.

Disliked: Dreckige sanitäre Anlagen, keine Seife und kein Toilettenpapier (solches kann man auch nicht in der Rezeption kaufen … ärgerlich, wenn man nichtsahnend am Sonntagabend anreist). Obwohl auf Schildern steht, dass ab 22:00 strikte Nachtruhe herrscht, lief die Party bei der Bar bis Mitternacht.

Primitive gravel and sand tent or campervan campsite (large)

Liked: Toller grosser Platz, schöner See und ruhige Lage, trotz Stellplatz mittendrin. Die grossen Bäume sind klasse! Super Platz für Reisende mit Hund.

Disliked: Mit campervan war kein Platz mit Strom buchbar. Die WC Anlagen waren etwas verwinkelt gebaut und keine richtige Trennung zwischen Männer und Damen Bereich. Was aber nicht sonderlich schlimm ist, da alles einzelne abschließbare Kabinen sind. WC, Dusche und Waschbecken.

Powered gravel and sand tent campsite (small)

Liked: L’environnement agréable et la grandeur des emplacements. Les membres de la réception sont agréables et sympathiques. Les activités sont nombreuses et variées. La piscine est très belle, grande et d’une propreté irréprochable.

Disliked: Les sanitaires sont vétustes. Pas de planches sur les toilettes. Les douches sont peu accueillantes et pas moyen de régler la température de l’eau.

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.
