  • Peaceful and family-friendly Aquitaine site set in lush Landes Forest

  • Cuisine home-made with local produce; heated pool and playground
Tucked away in the centre of Aquitaine’s Landes Forest, Camping L’Étang d’Ardy sits in eight hectares of woodland 10 minutes’ drive from the spa town of Saint-Paul-lès-Dax. If you like the thought of traditional family camping and a smiling welcome at a site where your name will be remembered, you’re in the right place, as friendliness is in its DNA. Perhaps that’s why so many holidaymakers return year after year. Or maybe it’s the food at Le Bar Ardy, all homemade from the burger buns to the pizzas, including daily specials created from fresh local produce. You can also join in themed entertainment every evening as you tuck into family favourites on the lakeside terrace. More reasons for returning may include the private fishing pond, heated swimming pool and secure play area. Sports enthusiasts can keep fit on the basketball court, nicely shaded under the plane trees. Other activities nearby encompass canoeing on the region’s rivers, tasting local foods at nearby farms, horse riding through the forest, and exploring the cultural heritage of south-west France.
