The motorhome package at €12 disappeared after the change of ownership. Much more neglect, and the price has risen to €18. In short, we won't be coming back.Translating
Disappointed by the campsite, which has everything needed to be much better. Well located. Small pool with a paddling pool, a little cold, but the weather didn’t help. Recent sanitary facilities, but many dishwashing taps were out of order, so the sink could become clogged. Lights off in the showers. Reception couldn’t be reached a few days beforehand to check availability. On arrival, I was quoted one price, then there was a computer failure, so I came back to pay the next day and the price had risen to €100 instead of the €68 quoted for 2 nights, 2 adults and 2 children. No bread delivery. The children’s entertainer was very nice, however.Translating
Hello, we had stayed here several times before, when the campsite was busy. We came in mid-June and found it deserted, with no maintenance and no services; the pool was not working. Change of owner, change of price from €11 to €18, change of policy, bought by a large group—and this is the result. A price of €14 to €15 would be more justified. GillesTranslating
This campsite is slowly waking up at the start of the season. The pool is out of order, some sanitary facilities are unfinished, and reception hours are minimal (closes at 5 p.m.). A little like the Landes, which seem not to have really started the season.Translating
I knew the site from last year and drove here again without hesitation. However, the flat rate for motorhomes has risen sharply from €12 to €18 for the same service. Sanitary facilities okay, but they were not cleaned during my 2 days there. Grey water disposal is fine, and the chemical toilet can be emptied, but rinsing with water is not possible because the tank was empty. Fresh water costs €2.Translating
Nobody at reception on a Friday at noon. I called the number shown on the door and was told to come back at 2 p.m. Price quoted: €20. We went back to the motorhome area at €9.50 with the same facilities.Translating
12€ for 2 people and a tent with electricity. Large pitch with close access to clean, modern sanitary facilities. Showers were lovely and hot. Reception was closed when we arrived at 1700 but rang a number, she told us where to pitch up and she then came to collect the fee at 1830. Site mostly Campervans and mobile homes. Only one restaurant open in the ‘Boutique Hotel’ which really isn’t!
If you are looking for an aire in the area, off season, you won't find better than this! €12 cash only for 2 people and a cc. EHU, new, clean toilets and showers with hot water. Good sized pitches. Reception closed at the weekend, but a number to call gave us entry. Most things in the area closed but lovely walks/cycle paths by the lake.
Family campsite, very friendly and very quiet. Thank you for the €12 motorhome package with all services included. This is the third time we have spent a night here. We will happily come back!Translating
Small family campsite, €12 per night including electricity and water, large pitch, friendly welcome.Translating
Lake contaminated by a bacterium, and reception only warned us once payment had been made. No network, Wi-Fi is paid and does not work. Unheated pool. The shower hot water worked only every other time. We found the bar prices excessive. In conclusion, we did not enjoy our stay.Translating
Very nice campsite, within walking distance of the lake and climbing forest (also a good swimming pool). You have to bring your own toilet paper; there are no toilet seats. Very good, clean sanitary facilities. Nice surroundings and excellent pizza at the restaurant/bar.Translating
Very quiet campsite with excellent sanitary facilities. Direct access to the cycle paths. Very warm welcome from the owner. Recommended.Translating
Camping La Forêt Lahitte offers a very attractive package at €14 per night: motorhome, 2 people, electricity and pool. Very quiet and very clean, next to the cycle paths leading to Biscarrosse-Plage; close to the village of Parentis-en-Born for shopping.Translating
Very pleasant, fully equipped campsite. Shaded pitch, clean sanitary facilities, warm welcome and reasonable price. Swimming in the lake is possible, with several small beaches. Recommended.Translating
Quiet campsite. Lovely walks along the lake. Good value for money.Translating
An exceptional campsite out of season. €12 per night. The best part is the friendly welcome from everyone. Extremely clean sanitary facilities, plus peace and quiet. We will return again out of season. Thank you for this lovely little moment.Translating
A great welcome and very good services. A campsite absolutely worth visiting out of season. Currently €12; the price is going up to €14. Still better than an aire. Well located for cycle paths and shopping.Translating
Camping services for €12 per night: perfect!Translating
Perfect—lovely campsite, beautiful pitch for €12, with access to sanitary facilities and electricity, which is rare nowadays! Many thanks to the owners.Translating
