Camping Etche Zahar

Family-friendly holiday park on the edge of a village
A 20-minute drive from Bayonne and half an hour from Biarritz
Seasonal snack bar, pétanque and outdoor pool with paddling area

Mix up the scenery with a stay at Camping Etche Zahar, where sea views, mountain vistas and riverside panoramas are all within easy reach. This family-friendly park is set in a quiet location on the outskirts of the village of Urt, an old fishing port on the Adour river where the Basque Country meets the Landes. Located a mere 500 metres from Urt's shops and cafés, Camping Etche Zahar is a family-run site where there's a range of fab leisure options and a friendly atmosphere. There's an all-round natural vibe, with no pristinely manicured hedges or tarmac driveways; instead, the site's spacious outdoor pool, paddling area, playground and pétanque court are tucked away among the trees. An on-site snack bar is on hand throughout July and August for drinks and quick bites, but if you're not around for the peak of the season it's hardly a hassle to stroll down into Urt and drop by one of its food shops instead. Back at base, two communal barbecue areas make promising spots for sorting sociable sizzles (and a coin-operated laundry room is available in case of unexpected ketchup stains). Another plus is this site's location – it's a piffling 20-minute drive to the centre of the historic city of Bayonne, while some of the best bits of the Basque coast and mountains can be seen within half an hour of setting off.

Power optional grass and gravel site

Liked: Netter ruhiger gut gepflegter Campingplatz.

Disliked: Wir haben einen sehr kleinen Platz bekommen. Eher ein Parkplatz von einem Mobilheim. Das 2 WC/Dusch-Gebäude gibt es nicht mehr. Daher zu wenig Duschen und WC‘s

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: L'emplacement 61B est un véritable emplacement, trés ombragé, mais effectivement c'est un des plus petits.
Pour le sanitaire, il existe toujours mais à été refit et déplacé. Si vous aviez prit le temps de faire un tour de notre petit camping, vous l'auriez trouvé dans un joli coin à l'ombre.

Would definitely recommend and will come again.

Liked: Quiet, clean, very helpful receptionist (we forgot an extension lead, we borrowed one for free!). Nice pool. Nice bar / snack area.

Disliked: Quality of food from the restaurant could have been better. We ordered some frites, they were bad.

From the manager: Merci pour vos compliments sur notre petit camping familial et nous sommes très étonnés de votre avis sur le restaurant qui fait l'unanimité dans les avis clients et notamment pour ses frites, peu communes.

From the manager: Pour la piscine désolé, mais à la mise en route, 1 pompe à lachée. Nous en avons commandé une nouvelle. Maintenant avec une température extérieure de 17°, personne ne nous a fait de réflexion, sur le fait de ne pas pouvoir se baigner.

Local attractions

You'll get a taste of the local architecture while strolling around Urt, but for a proper look at Basque-style buildings you'll want to head to La Bastide-Clairence (10 minutes' drive), a 14th-century town with traditional timbered houses, historic churches and a centuries-old Jewish cemetery. Older still are the Isturitz and Oxocelhaya caves (25 minutes), an important Paleolithic site that's best surveyed on an hour-long guided tour. In the same neck of the woods is Cambo-les-Bains (30 minutes), a town in the foothills of the Pyrenees with a chocolate museum and fruit farm where you can pick your own. Looking to break through the cloud barrier? Jump aboard the Train de la Rhune, a hill railway where you can make out mountains and coast on both sides of the France-Spain border. In terms of local shopping opportunities, it's hard to beat Bayonne (20 minutes), a sizeable city that’s also home to impressive ramparts and a 13th-century cathedral. For beach time, head to the swanky sands of Biarritz (30 minutes) or to one of the quieter bays north or south of the city.
