Camping de Carcans

Very pleasant campsite by the ocean, which is becoming very rare. Very efficient staff, well-managed and quiet despite the crowds. Minor drawback: not enough showers or toilets for the van section. Excellent shop and the village of Carcans-Plage is very nice. Magnificent beach. Thank you all.✦Translating

Beautiful shaded pitches, very well-maintained campsite, quiet and respectful.✦Translating

A campsite to our taste, with pitches under pine trees, a simple and clean washroom. Dream beach next door, and a small village with a limited selection of amenities.✦Translating

Fine in the off-season. Only a few pitches for longer vehicles; sanitary facilities are limited for the high season. Very friendly and courteous reception.✦Translating

Great site. Short walk to the sea and very good cycle paths. We had a double A/B pitch, so lots of space. Individual pitches are rather small for 6.36 m. Clear recommendation for a few days by the sea.✦Translating

The pitches are large and all lie under pine trees. The proximity to the beach is ideal and the sanitary facilities are excellent. In the morning you can buy croissants and baguettes without pre-ordering at the small shop directly on the site. We felt very comfortable.✦Translating

Very nice site in the pine forest, many washrooms, very clean. Good location for walks, the excellent beach and cycling. Unfortunately, from 1 October the village is completely dead, everything is closed and supplies are difficult — bring EVERYTHING, including bread! Waste and water services are properly available on site. Still well occupied; in summer it is surely too full. The woman at reception shines through her friendliness and good looks, but is completely incompetent and gets EVERYTHING wrong. The man is efficient.✦Translating

Very warm welcome, ocean access on foot. Sanitary facilities okay; pleasant pitches under the pines, but a little too close together. €33 for one night in a van for two people with electricity.✦Translating

Basically a nice campsite in the pine forests, with decent sanitary facilities and no frills. However, some motorhome pitches are very tightly packed, and the tent village with youth camps is right next door, making it lively and sometimes noisy. Quiet after 9 p.m. The path to the beach is unfortunately along a road outside the site, but it is very close. The beach is beautiful but has big waves; during our stay swimming was always prohibited.✦Translating

Small, pleasant campsite. Sanitary facilities are clean, but when fully occupied there are too few showers and toilets. The major advantage is its location near the beach.✦Translating

Beautiful, well-maintained and family-friendly site with great pitches under the pines and close to the wide beach, clean sanitary facilities and very friendly staff. Nice little tourist town. We were here for the third time and will certainly come back.✦Translating

Pleasant campsite despite an unfriendly welcome.✦Translating

Very pleasant! A large, park-like site with plenty of shade, a lovely town and a very friendly woman. The simple showers and toilets are clean, although being partly open-air makes them chilly. Overall, a calm place with fair prices.

Very nice campsite with good value for money in the middle of the pine forest! Relatively simple and rustic, but everything is tidy and clean. The staff are very nice and there is a small shop at the entrance with essentials and delicious baguettes, croissants, etc. Short paths to the beach, which is not overly crowded. The small village has a few shops, restaurants and surf schools, even a Spar supermarket, though rather expensive. There is a small market on Mondays. We would come here again!✦Translating

Lovely relaxed atmosphere at this pleasant campsite. Many surfers walk across the wide dunes to the sea with their boards. The sanitary facilities are spotlessly clean and reception is staffed by a great team. Recommended if you like the sea, sun and beach. Wonderful, also for the dog.✦Translating

(22–26 April) Superbly located campsite. Great with dogs! You can enjoy wonderful walks in the forest surrounding the site and along the endlessly wide beach, where there are really not many people. I took a surf course at Les Loubines on two days; they also offer great, friendly courses in the off-season. The small Spar supermarket was already open. Sanitary facilities were good for us, with hot water!✦Translating

Recommended, green campsite. Empty and quiet in the off-season. Great location for the beach. Nice staff, with some communication also possible in German. The toilets and showers are open-plan and somewhat dated. Bakery/café about five minutes away and open in the off-season. Delicious baguettes, croissants and pain au chocolat. We will come again.✦Translating

Nice campsite, ten minutes’ walk to the sea and village, where there is a small grocery shop and many restaurants, etc. We paid €45 for two nights, two people in a VW bus, without a reservation. In high season it is recommended to reserve in advance.✦Translating

Good location. The village and beach are within walking distance. The site is divided into areas for tents/vans and motorhomes. Many surfers, with regular surf camps and consequently many young people. Despite the activity, it has a pleasant atmosphere. Pitches near the entrance are somewhat noisy. Sanitary facilities okay and clean, with German-speaking staff. Without a reservation, little chance. We would gladly return.✦Translating

Good location, with the beach quickly reachable on foot. However, it is very busy because regular surf camps apparently take place in summer. Sanitary facilities are okay and clean, unisex. No toilet paper, but soap at the sinks. Pitches near the sanitary facilities are very noisy; too much bustle for us, but okay for two nights and some beach atmosphere.✦Translating

Nice setting but very busy with lots of surfers. Not much else to do unless you want to surf. Shower / toilet block often closed just when you want to use it! Well run site - pitches are small.

The site in the pine forest is divided into an area for tents and one for motorhomes. Many families and surfers. Unfortunately, there is only one playground for toddlers. The pitches vary in size. The beach is nearby. There is a small village with restaurants and shops. Almost no chance of getting a pitch without a reservation.✦Translating

Somehow like coming home. We have been coming here for over 20 years, every few years, and it is still — positively meant — just like it used to be. Large, traditional site divided between tents/caravans and motorhomes/vans, with no glamping or chalets. Everything practical and clean. Super-friendly reception staff who generally speak all languages. Small supermarket on site, and bike rental too. Lots of cool people. A German and a French surf school run camps on the site.

Beautiful campsite under pine trees and very close to the beach. The supermarket has all necessary groceries. Fresh baguettes are available in the morning. The sanitary facilities are clean and cleaned daily. Without a reservation/booking in high season, it is difficult to get a pitch.

Beautiful campsite with a shady pitch on sandy ground under pine trees, somewhat small and very close to the neighbours. Extremely many German visitors, but a good atmosphere with many families. Very quiet and dark at night. Toilets clean and bright. Beach very close, as are the shopping street with weekly market, shops and restaurants. Relaxation with beach and water; no larger playgrounds or leisure activities apart from volleyball and surf courses.

Beautiful campsite in a good location. We especially like staying under the pine trees and the atmosphere on the site. Very friendly staff and just a stone’s throw from the sea. Mini-market with delicious baguettes for breakfast. Toilets are somewhat dated and not always clean, probably due to the high occupancy. Small village a few hundred metres away with nice bars and restaurants.

Very friendly check-in, pitches are somewhat small, sanitary facilities a little old but always clean, well-equipped mini-market, restaurants very nearby, and the beach is wonderfully beautiful!
