The largest of the French regions makes the perfect terrain for exploring the local history, the gastronomy and the easy living with family or friends. Nouvelle Aquitaine in the South-West of France is a region where freedom rules in harmony with traditions and the elements. From the green countryside of Limousin to the immensity of the Dune of Pilat, from the vast Landes forest to the inevitable Bordeaux vineyards, from the oyster beds of Charente Maritime to the chilli peppers of Espelette, and from the prehistoric drawings of Dordogne to the delicious truffles of Black Perigord, everything about this region is an invitation to live life intensely and enjoy it to the full. The South-West is a wilderness of unique beauty that can only appeal! Nature parks, protected sites, historical and cultural heritage, gastronomy of high standards and, of course, beaches as far as the eye can see. One thing’s for sure, this land of contrast strikes the perfect balance. All you have left to do is decide at which beautiful spot to spend your holiday on a 3, 4 or 5-star campsite from our selection!
A pitch with or without trees, or a fully-equipped mobile home with all the mod cons, take your pick for the perfect holiday for you. Nouvelle Aquitaine is one of the richest tourist destinations in France and is particularly expert when it comes to family holidays.
Browse through our list of 3, 4 and 5-star campsites and choose the one that tickles your fancy! A campsite by the sea, near a lake or river, in the forest, or why not all three? Discover our outstanding locations!
Here, the summer sun illuminates the warm smiles of the local people. Take advantage of the campsites’ huge pool complexes with giant water slides and swimming pools, just what you need to feel good in the summer heat!
Our suggestions here cover only a tiny fraction of all that Nouvelle Aquitaine has to offer. Just choose the destination where you’d like to spend your holiday! Discover the Poitevin Marsh, nicknamed Green Venice and straddling several French departments... a natural region if ever there was one! Here you’ll observe a huge biodiversity and admire some absolutely stunning scenery!
Explore the protected areas of the regional nature parks, such as Millevaches or Périgord-Limousin, both vast nature reserves. The famous Arcachon Bay, home to many a treasure and surrounded by the immense forest of Landes, is another must-see!
Go on an expedition to the region’s multiple islands, such as Ré and Oléron, climb the Pyrenean mountains, and appreciate the culture of the Basque Country. Not forgetting the views to be enjoyed from the top of the highest dune in Europe, the Dune of Pilat, one of France’s great listed sites.
Besides all the activities and entertainment organised by your campsite, you’ll have the chance to enjoy or try your hand at countless other activities. Nouvelle Aquitaine boasts no less than 6,000 listed historical monuments, enough to keep you occupied by a day trip or two!
Discover the Côte d’Argent, the coast stretching between the River Adour and the Gironde Estuary. This coast unfurls against the beauty of the Atlantic Ocean with its waves that roll in perfect tubes, especially in Landes. Also known as “Landifornia”, this is a hotspot for surfers and every other watersport involving a board. Perhaps the time has come for you to give it a try!
Walkers, hikers and mountain bikers will be able to take advantage of the beautiful terrain to be found in the Pyrenean mountains or the hills of Limousin. Look for the river or lake nearest to your campsite to go canoeing or paddleboarding, or even try canyoning. Remember also to stop at some of France’s most beautiful villages to taste the fabulous local specialities!
