Eco-friendly Gironde site surrounded by woods and vineyards
A 20-minute drive to Blaye; less than an hour to Bordeaux
Outdoor pool, restaurant-bar and animals to meet on site

What might you like to see as your views when you wake up in the morning? Vineyards, perhaps – or maybe woods? You'll get a bit of both at Camping Chez Gendron, in a wooded area among the vineyards of the northern Gironde between Bordeaux and Royan. This is a quiet and eco-friendly site that welcomes families, cyclists and all those that would like to explore this gorgeously green area. There are animals to meet on site (horses, donkeys, sheep, goats and chickens among them), and you can take strolls into the woods and vineyards to stretch your legs without needing to travel. If you'd like to roam for a bit longer, simply find one of the walking or bike trails that pass directly by the site. Other outings nearby might take you to the city of Bordeaux, the beaches and lakes of the Médoc Regional Natural Park, or the pretty villages along the Gironde estuary. Closer to home, the town of Saint-Ciers-sur-Gironde is five minutes' drive away for shops, supermarkets and places to eat, plus a Sunday market. And what about time on site? Well, when you're not looking out at the views and/or chatting to the animals, you can be having a swim in the open-air pool (with a paddling pool for the kids), or playing games of football, volleyball, handball, table tennis or billiards. Kids can let off steam at the playground or bounce on the trampoline, and there's also a restaurant and bar that are open from May to September for drinks and meals.

Electric grass and earth pitch

Liked: Arrived to a friendly welcome with a bread and pastry order taken for breakfast and a choice of pitch. Incredibly peaceful amongst trees and surrounded by vineyards. Pool looked lovely but was a bit cold for us to go in. Facilities were clean and spacious- unisex doesn’t bother us at all. Had dinner in the restaurant on the second evening which was great value and very good. Would love to return in warmer weather.

Disliked: Nothing

Liked: Nos gustaron muchas cosas: la parcela era grande; tiene muchas alternativas de ocio muy buenas: billar, ping pong, lectura, piscina, etc. Los baños y duchas están limpios. Hay servicio de panadería. Es un camping ecológico y fomentan el reciclaje. Phillip y Bene han sido muy amables y nos ayudaron en todo momento.

Liked: All the staff are very friendly and explained the site very well to us. There are plenty of activities for children including pool, table football, table tennis, painting, football and some others. There is a swimming pool which our son loved. The pitches are large and well shaded by the trees. Drinking water is dotted around the site to refill your bottles. We loved the eco friendly additions. There is a restaurant on site also (closed on Tuesdays)

Liked: What a lovely campsite! Just what we needed after a long drive. Warm welcome and easy booking in. Great pitches, well shaded and plenty of privacy. So much to do for the kids, pool is great, trampoline, games room etc. Live band was a great touch. Only stayed one night but definitely need to come back!

Local attractions

The nearby Gironde estuary is a haven for wildlife, and there are a few lovely ways to see some of it – perhaps taking your binoculars to to Terres d’Oiseaux nature reserve (10 minutes’ drive) to see what birds you can spot as you follow the nature trails, or joining a boat trip from Vitrezay (10 minutes). Elsewhere along the estuary you can visit the UNESCO-listed citadel in Blaye (20 minutes), before boarding a boat to cross the river to the Médoc Regional Natural Park. Over there, there are lots of wineries to drop in to as you make your way to Lac d’Hourtin or the beach at Carcans. Back on the site’s side of the estuary, head north for a trip to Planet Exotica theme park or a beach day in Royan (an hour), or turn south to Bordeaux (55 minutes) to see the cathedral, Place de la Bourse and Grosse Cloche and visit La Cité du Vin to learn all about the area's most famed product.
