Camping L'Arbre d'Or ****

Good location short walk to the lake and to a pleasant town with plenty of shops and restaurants. Flat pitches in a woodland setting, sanitaires clean and functional indoor pool open out of season cafe/restaurant open looked ok but we didn\'t use it. For a quiet few days out of season perfect.

Flat, reasonably sized sandy-grass pitches with some shade but nothing in between each pitch. Sanitary facilities okay. Good location on the edge of town and close to large lake. Reasonable access from main north-south autoroute.

This evaluation has been obtained by our inspector from a questionnaire at the camp site.

We stayed at this site for 10 days in July and on the whole we enjoyed our stay, however there a few short comings for this site that people need to be aware of, firstly in the high season the disco music from the bar and restaurant starts at 0830 every evening and goes on until 1200 which is plainly audible all over the site, I take it that out of season this is not the case. also in July your swim in the two very nice pools will also be interrupted by by more zumba music every hour or so - Ok if you like zumba otherwise an unwanted intrusion. secondly you may well find your pitch some distance from electricity and water supply I suggest you have at least a 30M power cable.
thirdly the two very nice pools are too small in the high season and quickly become very crowded.
This site is very much at its best in the low season and I recommend it on that basis unless you like crowds and noise i would give it a miss in July and August.

Intended as an overnight stop enroute to Portugal, but stayed for 2, we are novice camping-caristes and so impressed we chose it for our overnight return stopover. Sanitation facilities were very clean, the pitches a good size and the site is an easy walk or cycle to the lake, village and Supermarket. One hour free wifi in the bar area was a bonus. We will definitely use this site again

We stayed here in low season (end of April) very few campers on. Staff are great and the site is lovely and peaceful. Only short trip into the village and a lake around the corner. Lovely site.

Lovely peaceful campsite out of season. Rarely more than 5/6 pitches being used. Some pitches a bit rustic but of a good size. Water was a longish trek from some pitches. Some pitches needed a French 2 pin plug others ok. Showers very good. Toilets okay. Pools were very good (indoors and outdoors. Great lake and beach just down the road (water sports). Shops and supermarket 1 km away. Brilliant cycle routes (flat) to other towns and lakes (Biscarosse about 50 minutes slow pedal). We were going to stay for 1 night but ended up staying for 5. Restaurant available for snacks/meals/bread and drink. Friendly owners. Liked this site.

Used as a stop over, but stayed 3 nights as it was so nice. Lovely setting, easy access, lake near by, easy cycle routes to shops etc. Would stay again.

This is a very pleasant and calm site at least in low season which is when we were there. Many large pitches and others of moderate size. This judgement is made on the basis of a large twin axle caravan. Just before we left they were planting 200 hedge trees to delineate the pitches.
The toilets are thoroughly cleaned every day by the owners in low season, to a very high standard, and the site is well maintained.
There are a number of privately owned mobile homes and some are rented, but these tend to be away from the touring pitches.
Site is close to a local restaurant and Parentis is also close by. There is a very pleasant walk to the large local lake where fishing is available.
Bread can be ordered daily and this is delivered to your pitch each morning, a very nice touch.
We were fortunate to have very good weather when we stayed and that together with the pleasant reception and service from the owners encouraged us to extend our stay from one week to three.

An excellent site close to Parentis en Born and within walking distance of a beautiful lake that our dog really enjoyed playing in. Very spacious, although sandy pitches and excellent facilities. We particularly enjoyed the indoor and outdoor pools. In a very good position for exploring this area of the Atlantic coast.
