Campsites in Gironde

In Gironde, tourism is all about the beautiful Côte d’Argent, the heavenly silver coast that unfurls between the surf spots of Landes and the Gironde Estuary. Make the most of these fabulous sandy beaches stretching as far as the eye can see, and the multiple seaside resorts dotted along the coast of Gironde.

You’ll also be able to explore the Bordeaux area, well-known for its famous vineyards and great wines. And where there are vineyards there are châteaux galore! Visit these wine estates without delay!
 

You can then venture into the immense forest of the Landes de Gascogne Regional Nature Park. Straddling several French departments, the forest of Landes is the most extensive manmade forest range in western Europe. 

A holiday in Gironde just wouldn’t be complete without a trip to Arcachon Bay! Explore this super-famous natural site that attracts nature lovers from across the world with its beaches, oyster villages, local gastronomy and of course that must-see feature, the Dune of Pilat.

This lively and appealing capital of Nouvelle Aquitaine attracts many artists with its wealth of modern architectural features, its ideal riverside location and the famous glass tower of its wine centre, the Cité du Vin. Bordeaux is THE must-see city during your campsite holiday.

Think you’ve done everything? Head for the Médoc region! Wine enthusiasts will take to the road to follow the Route des Châteaux, while sailing fans will head for the Gironde Estuary. However much you feel the need to be at one with nature, you’ll get your full dose between the ocean and the forest of Medoc!
 

Are you into watersports? You’ll be spoilt for choice in Gironde! Rent a board or bring your own, and off you go for an afternoon of surfing or paddleboarding! Looking for something unique? Discover the “mascaret”, a tidal bore that has you surfing, incredibly, on a wave in the Gironde Estuary! If you’re not sure you'll keep your balance, opt for canoeing, diving or fishing instead.

Back on dry land, grab your walking shoes and go exploring Arcachon Bay and the famous Dune of Pilat, the highest dune in the whole of Europe. From the top, you’ll enjoy magnificent views over the vast Landes forest and can even watch the sun setting over the Bay!

Go walking, cycling or even horseriding to explore Gironde and its many wine estates. Stop along the way to sample the local produce, from oysters to grand cru wines. Visit the wine estate of your choice to taste the white, red and rosé wines of Bordeaux!
