  • 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 five minutes’ drive from Saint-Christoly-de-Blaye. The site is open all year round and all the pitches have electric hook-ups; they’re also 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, 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 also open from June to October. 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 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 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.

From the manager: Hallo,

Bedankt voor je feedback. Mijn man en ik beheren samen de camping en we streven ernaar om zo goed mogelijk aan de verwachtingen van al onze gasten te voldoen :-)

We hebben de camping vier jaar geleden gekocht en hadden financiering nodig om de toiletten te renoveren :-)
Ze worden dit jaar gerenoveerd. We sluiten in december 2025, want we zijn het hele jaar geopend :-)

We hopen jullie weer te zien en de veranderingen op dit gebied te zien.

We kijken ernaar uit jullie weer te zien.

Electric grass and earth touring caravan or trailer tent pitch

Liked We stayed here for one night, just passing through. What a little gem!
The pool was spotless, and despite us arriving at 7pm our children wanted to go in, and it was perfect.
Afterwards we went to the bar and had drinks, food and singing. Such a lovely family run site with a huge sense of community. The family running the site were so lovely and helpful and such pleasant people. On arrival we ordered croissants and baguettes for the morning before we left, and even they were perfect too. Highly recommend.

From the manager: Hello Charlotte,
Thank you for your trust; it was a shared pleasure.
Yes, my husband and I run the campsite together. We put our heart and soul into it, and our daughter, Marie-Charlotte, helps us when she's not at work.
The family camping spirit is really important to us, which gives it all its charm.
As an added bonus, the croissants and baguettes for the morning are baked on site by myself....
Yours faithfully,
Isabelle, Franck, and Marie-Charlotte

Liked Easy to find and in a great location, very friendly welcome with good size plots near facilities. The pool is well kept and plenty of seating around it. There is some food and drink available if you don’t want to go to the nearby supermarket. I would definitely come back

Disliked Wifi wasn,t the best

Liked Lovely relaxed site with large pitches and very warm welcome on arrival.

Disliked Shower and toilet facilities while clean and with lots of hot water are very tired indeed and really need to be refurbished.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hello Madam,
I remember you coming with your little van. Thank you for this feedback.

Regarding the restrooms, I agree with you; they are original to the campsite (1986). We bought the facility four years ago, and as stated in March 2025, we have decided to close in December 2025 (because we are open year-round) to renovate them..

Hoping to see you again,
Isabelle and Franck

Bonjour Madame,
Je me souviens de votre venue avec votre petit fourgon. Merci pour ce retour.

Pour ce qui est des sanitaire, je suis d'accord avec vous, ils sont d'origine du camping (1986), nous avons racheté la structure il y a 4 ans et comme indiqué en Mars 2025, nous avons pris la décision de fermer au mois de décembre 2025 (car nous sommes ouverts à l'année) pour les rénover.

Espérant vous revoir,
Isabelle et Franck

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.
