A 4-star campsite on the Atlantic

Immersion in the nature of the Landes

Les Tourterelles Campsite is nestled within an amazing natural environment that feels like a real getaway, where guests are encouraged to explore and discover. The Landes Forest surrounding the campsite is a true haven of peace and a great place to hike or cycle along its many waymarked trails.

     A rugged beach and a celebrated surf spot

Our campsite has direct access to Saint-Girons Beach, one of the best-preserved treasures of the Landes. Unlike more popular beaches such as those in Hossegor and Biscarrosse, the ambiance at Saint-Girons is calmer and more authentic. And surfers are especially appreciative of its powerful, consistent waves, that make it one of the region’s top spots. If you’re a beginner or still learning, our campsite has its own surfing school, with classes for all skill levels. But this beach is about more than just surfing. It’s also an ideal place for families, thanks to its huge expanses of fine sand, where young and old can safely play around. In the evening, you won’t want to miss out on the magical spectacle of the sun setting over the ocean, a sight that will be etched into your memory.

     The Landes Forest: A lush, green setting

With its maritime pines stretching out as far as the eye can see, the Landes Forest is Europe’s biggest man-made forest, and just the ticket for avid hikers and cyclists. From the campsite, you can take the Velodyssey cycling route, which runs along the Atlantic coast and provides an easy way to get to places like Moliets and Vieux-Boucau. In fact, here is a suggested itinerary for exploring all its gems. Along the way, be sure to revel in the calming song of the cicadas and the distinctive scent of the pines heated by the sun.

For an even more immersive experience, you can give sylvotherapy a try. That Japanese practice involves reconnecting with nature by literally going “forest bathing” to take advantage of the soothing properties of trees. In this majestic forest, every outing becomes a truly relaxing interlude.

     Hidden treasures: The Huchet Current Nature Reserve

Discover one of the Landes department’s most fascinating gems, the Huchet Current Nature Reserve near Les Tourterelles Campsite. Nicknamed the “Amazon of the Landes”, it’s a protected area that boasts incredible biodiversity in ecosystems like marshes, dunes and luxuriant vegetation. A guided boat tour of the current is a wonderful way to watch grey herons, European pond turtles and other rare species in their natural habitats. For those who would rather go exploring on their own, there are multiple waymarked trails along which you can discover this unique site on foot whilst basking in the peace and quiet. And for the naturists out there, Arnaoutchot Beach isn’t far away, to the north of the campsite.
