  • Landes family campsite 20 minutes’ walk from a beach
  • Dinosaures Parc and adventure parks within a 15-minute drive
  • Snack bar on site; Messanges shops and dining five minutes’ drive
Ingredients for a happy family seaside holiday? A beach within easy walking distance, somewhere to eat close by and plenty of cool shade to relax in for a siesta, perhaps. And that’s a trio that’s on offer for guests at Camping Albret, barely 20 minutes’ walk from sandy Plage des Sablères in the Landes region. This site has been run by four generations of the same family, and they’ve learned a few things about what makes a holiday go smoothly in that time – simple grass pitches are shaded by pine trees and have access to a small shop and a snack bar to keep everyone fed. There’s also a play area, and a TV room for those times when you need a bit of downtime indoors. The beach is a lovely one for families, but it’s also something of a draw for watersports nuts – it’s a popular base for kitesurfers, jet skiers and surfers. Meanwhile, novice sailors can learn their craft on the lakes of Hossegor, Léon and Soustons (all around 20 minutes’ drive). Back on dry land, cyclists have the choice of myriad traffic-free bike tracks and keen riders can trek through forested Landes countryside. If you’re not so keen on that level of activity, simply head for the beach, lay down your towel and snooze in the sun. However you’ve filled your day, you may like to bring along a barbecue to get the evening going with a grilled dinner – there are shops for supplies in Messanges (five minutes’ drive or 35 minutes’ walk), which also has several eateries if you’d rather have a meal out. The site is also just a few hundred metres away from an amusement park, which stays open until 1am every night.

What customers say

Spacious, shady pitches near beach & town. Friendly staff, great play area & bakery. However, significant noise from nearby amusement park, and some found showers, hook-ups & cleanliness lacking.

Liked Camping bien situé !
L’emplacement était ombragé et sanitaires proches.
Malgré l’orage l’eau n’a pas stagnée sur l’emplacement, nous n’avons donc pas pris l’eau : parfait !
Papier toilette à dispo dans les sanitaires.

Disliked Sanitaires pas très propres, notamment les éviers..
Camping bruyant jusqu’à 1h du matin… une règle sur le bruit devrait être indiquée sur le document évacuation et mentionnée à l’arrivée : silence complet entre 23h30 et 7h, comme dans d’autres campings.

Local attractions

Once you’ve spent a good few hours on your local beach, you may like to set off in search of a change of scenery – perhaps the sands of Plage de Soustons (10 minutes’ drive) or a stroll through the dunes of Courant d’Huchet Nature Reserve (15 minutes). A little way back from the coast, Marais d’Orx National Nature Reserve (40 minutes) is a haven for birdwatchers. Need a little more activity in your life? Head for Adrénaline Parc (10 minutes), the largest tree-climbing park in the Aquitaine with quad bikes and paintballing as well as the treetop courses. There’s another chance to get up into the trees at Parc Accrobranche Là Haut Aventure Park (15 minutes). Back down at ground level, a walk in the forest takes an unusual turn at Dinosaures Parc (15 minutes), where you’ll come across huge dinos and dragons hiding among the trees; there are also things like bouncy castles and go-karts to play with.
