  • Peaceful family campsite in a waterside Aquitaine setting
  • A 40-minute drive from Pau; Bayonne and the Atlantic an hour
  • On the Puy-en-Velay route of the Camino de Santiago
Located on the edge of a forest and about a kilometre from the centre of the village of Arthez-de-Béarn, Camping L'Orée du Bois by Noricamp is a great family-friendly Aquitaine campsite for guests who want to be within reach of both the Pyrenees and France's Atlantic coast. The site is located by a pond just to the south of the village, a few minutes' walk from municipal leisure facilities including a swimming pool and tennis court. The centre of Arthez-de-Béarn is a pleasant one-kilometre stroll away and is home to a restaurant and bar. The on-site facilities at Camping L'Orée du Bois by Noricamp are well maintained and include toilets, showers, a laundry room and a small food shop for basic supplies. For bigger shops, the closest supermarket is a five-minute drive away. Dogs are welcome to come and join you on stays here (please keep them on a lead at all times). Arthez-de-Béarn is an important stop-off point on the Puy-en-Velay route of the Camino de Santiago, a medieval pilgrimage route that's still popular to this day. If you're not up for all-day hikes, stay local and take a shorter stroll around the three Romanesque chapels that the route passes by.

Peaceful forest campsite by a lake with a family-friendly vibe. Praised for friendly owners, clean facilities, and a lively bar. Enjoy quiet nature, good amenities, and fair prices. Nearby attractions require driving. Minor notes on washbasin lighting/modernity and toilet access via stairs.

Liked Everything! We could stay here forever. Small, peaceful and picturesque - but with a lovely bar area (where the WiFi is!) providing a lovely buzz. Ricardo and his wife are so friendly and helpful. We will be back (again!).

Fermin S.

Powered grass and earth campsite

Liked Un camping pequeñito y lindo, súper cálido y familiar.
Tiene un estanque, una biblioteca que enamora, parque, zona de barbacoa. Facilita entradas a la piscina municipal que está justo al lado. Se pueden hacer dos rutas desde ahí.
Puedes pedir pan y pastas para desayunar y cuenta con un bar chulísimo donde van haciendo actividades y espectáculos. Tuvimos la suerte de escuchar un concierto de música española...ahh y no os podéis perder los helados artesanales.
Hemos pasado dos días de descanso y relax.
Seguro volveremos!!!

Disliked Los lavabos podrían mejorar en cuanto a instalaciones y limpieza.

Local attractions

As well as hiking and cycle trails, there are several family-friendly days out in the immediate vicinity, including La Pêcherie d'Aurit (10 minutes' drive), a kids' farm with friendly animals, pony rides and a trout fishery for anglers young and old. At Lacq Aventure (10 minutes) there's also a forest high ropes course (with routes for younger and older kids/adults) and miniature golf. A 20-minute drive away is Orthez, a handsome town with a castle, a medieval bridge with a tower in the middle and lots of good places to sample traditional Béarn and Basque food. There are also kayaking and canoeing spots along the river Ousse, plus more watersports, open-air swimming and a waterslide at Lac d'Orthez, just outside town. Venturing further afield? The city of Pau (40 minutes) is full of things to do, from taking in the far-reaching mountain views on Boulevard des Pyrénées to riding the funicular railway or wandering around the elegant château. Beach days, Basque specialities and boating from the Atlantic coast should be sought out in and around Bayonne, a popular seaside spot that's roughly an hour away by road.
