  • Small, quiet woodland site edging Saint-Christoly-de-Blaye in Gironde
  • Lac du Moulin Blanc 20 minutes’ walk; historic Blaye 20 minutes’ drive
  • Pétanque, playground, ping pong and small animals on site
Whether you’re searching for a peaceful bolthole, a family-friendly vibe or a small site set among a Gironde woodland, they’ve got you covered at Camping Le Maine Blanc, a laidback spot with no on-site entertainment, five minutes’ drive from Saint-Christoly-de-Blaye. The pitches are shaded from the heat of the sun by a canopy of trees alive with the gentle chirping of birds. With only a handful of pitches on site, it’s also a quiet hideaway where you and the kids can chill and enjoy life at your own speed. Foodwise, between mid-June to the end of September, food trucks roll up to sell burgers on Friday, Saturday and Sunday and pizzas on Thursday evenings. The restaurant-bar, with its informal terrace, is open during high season. An outdoor swimming pool (open during high season only) will keep families busy, and you can play ping pong or pétanque while younger guests meet the resident ducks, goats and rabbits or let off steam in the playground. Rest time required? Read a book borrowed from the reception, or play a board game with the kids.

What customers say

Friendly family site with a warm welcome. Praised for its peaceful atmosphere, well-kept pool & spacious, shaded pitches. Food, drink & fresh bread were highlights. Basic showers/toilets noted, and some pitches get wet in rain. Motorway noise audible.

Electric grass and earth motorhome pitch

Liked Handy as a stop over.

Disliked Disappointed with the toilets and showers, they need replacing, old and dirty, advise anyone going to use their own facilities.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hello,
I sincerely apologize for the state of the restrooms. We've had some uncivilized guests over the past few days, and you came at the same time.
You judged us harshly for a night spent with us, a stopover, arriving at the end of the day... and not honestly because you hadn't declared all the people present with you!.....
Disappointed by the toilets and showers , they are indeed old, but as indicated in the other reviews, they will be renovated this winter (we are closing to customers in December 2025 and mid-January 2026).
Regarding activities, we're a small, 1-star campsite run by two people, so no, we don't have any entertainment as indicated in the description. As for customer service, I'd like to know what you're talking about? (Because we have bread and pastries ordered for the next day, a bar and food truck open every day, a loaner adapter, iron, ironing board, everything you need for babies, free games for adults and children, and a swimming pool open from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., not 7 p.m. like at other campsites.)
You don't bother to find out, and it's sad and hard for us to be judged so negatively :-(
We hope to see you again one day, even though you indicated that you would not recommend us to friends or stay at our site again.
Management

Bonjour,
Je suis sincèrement désolée pour l'état des sanitaires, nous avons eu des clients incivilisés ses derniers jours et vous êtes venus à cette même période.
Vous nous jugé sévèrement pour une nuit passée chez nous, une étape, arrivée sur la fin de journée.... et pas honnête car vous n'aviez pas déclaré toutes les personnes présentes avec vous !.....
Déçue par les toilettes et les douches, ils sont effectivement vieux, mais comme indiquer dans les autres avis, ils vont être refait cet hiver (nous fermons à la clientèle décembre 2025 et mi-janvier 2026).
Concernant les activités, nous sommes une petite structure, camping 1 étoile, géré par 2 personnes, donc non nous n'avons pas d'animations comme indiqué dans le descriptif, et pour ce qui est du service à la clientèle, j'aurai aimé savoir de quoi vous parlez ? (car nous avons, la commande de pain et viennoiserie pour le lendemain, le bar et le food truck ouvert tous les jours, un prêt d'adaptateur, de fer à repasser, table à repasser, tout le nécessaire pour les bébés, des jeux mis gratuitement à disposition pour les grands et les petits, une piscine ouverte de 10h à 21h et non 19h comme dans les autres campings.
Vous ne cherchez pas à savoir et c'est triste et dur pour nous d'être jugé aussi négativement :-(
En espérant vous revoir un jour, même si vous avez indiqué que ne pas recommandé à des amis ou séjourner à nouveau sur notre site.

Electric grass and earth motorhome pitch

Liked Great campsite, lovely pool and facilities were in good order

Disliked No personnal BBQs

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hello Family
Thank you for this lovely feedback; it means a lot to us.
Regarding the BBQs, we apologize; we have two on site. Unfortunately, we are on RED alert for fires, and BBQs are therefore prohibited. We had to remove the grills and decommission them.
It was a pleasure meeting you, and thank you for extending your stay.
Isabelle

Bonjour La Familly
Merci pour ce joli retour, il nous va droit au coeur.
En ce qui concerne les BBQ nous sommes désolés, nous en avons 2 sur le site, malheureusement, nous sommes en vigilance ROUGE pour les incendies et les BBQ sont donc interdits, nous avons donc du retirer les grilles et les mettre hors service.
Ce fut un plaisir de vous rencontrer et merci d'avoir prolongé votre séjour.

Electric grass and earth motorhome pitch

Liked Alles, vooral zwembad, zeer rustige plek, de pizza auto kwam langs de receptie is zeer vriendelijk, alhoewel de douches is ouder zijn was er heerlijk warm water, evenals voor het afwassen. Klein speeltuintje voor de kleintjes voetbaldoelen enz we zijn de vakantie 2 x geweest en komen zeker een x terug

Electric grass and earth touring caravan or trailer tent pitch

Liked De plek was prima.

Disliked Het sanitair. Veel te kleine/lage wc's (kinderformaat), weinig ruimte in de douche, de wc's waren niet schoon. Vanwege de kleine/lage wc's was je verplicht naar het invalide toilet te gaan en deze was ook niet schoon.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Meneer ROBBERS
Ik heb uw feedback over de netheid en het feit dat deze niet geschikt voor u is genoteerd, en ik bied daarvoor mijn excuses aan.
We sluiten in december vanwege renovatiewerkzaamheden.
U gaf ons ook een strenge beoordeling voor de activiteiten. Ik herinner u eraan dat er niets geheim is wat betreft het entertainment; het staat er duidelijk vermeld. We zijn een kleine familiecamping en daarom zijn er geen entertainmentmogelijkheden. Hetzelfde geldt voor de wifi; ik herinner u eraan dat deze gratis is op de camping.
Hoogachtend.


Monsieur ROBBERS
Je prends note de votre retour concernant l'état de propreté et le fait qu'ils ne soient pas adaptés pour vous et j'en suis désolée.
Il est prévu qu'on ferme en décembre pour les rénover.
Vous nous notez sévèrement en ce qui concerne également les activités, je vous rappelle que rien n'est caché concernant les animations, c'est clairement spécifié, nous sommes un petit camping familial et donc pas d'animations.... Pareil pour la wifi, je vous rappelle qu'elle est gratuite sur le camping....
Bien à vous.

Repetiré, me ha gustado

Anne L.

Electric grass and earth motorhome pitch

Liked Great small campsite everything you need . Pool is not heated but great as weather has been really hot. Very welcoming family who make sure all is well for you with nothing too much a problem. Small bar with food truck available every night for anyone not wishing to cook. We initially only booked for 2 days but extended or stay. Lovely lakes within cycle or walking distance with man made beach and safe are for children to swim. Also a small cafeteria with a variety of food beside the lake. Will definitely be back and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to others to give it a try

Disliked Bathroom and washroom building is antiquated but serves the purpose. Hot showers and lots of hot water for dishes etc. kept clean which is the main issue. Believe they are to be updated at the end of 2025.

Local attractions

Anyone content to while away their time lakeside can wander through pine forest to Lac du Moulin Blanc (20 minutes’ walk), where there’s a sandy beach for soaking up the sun, fishing piers, swimming areas, hiking trails and a bowling alley. Take a picnic to eat on the shore or head to the restaurant for a chilled wine on the terrace. If you’re looking for more sporting action, Natéa (five minutes’ drive) is a 20-hectare park with treetop rope courses, archery boards and the thrills and spills of laser games. Take younger kids to Asso Califourchon (15 minutes), a children’s farm with curious goats, camels and handsome Highland cows to feed, as well as ponies to ride. If you have teens, introduce them to the joys of wakeboarding at Castor Wake Park (20 minutes). Sneak some history into your holiday with a stroll around the Vauban-designed citadel in Blaye, or wander the historic lanes of gorgeous Bourg-sur-Gironde (both 20 minutes), with a spectacular location on the side of the Dordogne River. Wine buffs may want to tour the Cité du Vin in Bordeaux (an hour), where there’s also an intriguing water installation in the monumental Place de la Bourse.
