Camping Arcachon

A few kilometres from Bordeaux and south of the Arcachon basin, the town of the same name welcomes many holidaymakers every year, drawn by its charm and seaside activities.

Staying at a campsite in Arcachon means discovering the treasures of the unspoilt Atlantic coast. From oyster huts to houses on stilts on the Île aux Oiseaux, with its gentle, wild beauty, via the famous Dune du Pilat, you’re bound to be dazzled by this port city. Not to mention the many water sports offered along the coast!

You’ll have access to the endless forests of the Landes de Gascogne Regional Nature Park, the largest lakes in France and, of course, the Atlantic coastline. Explore the signposted routes on foot or by bike and visit the charming towns of the Arcachon basin.

Food will also be a highlight of your holiday in Arcachon! Although fish and seafood will have an important place on your table, the oyster will be the star of your meal in one of the many beachside restaurants. In a marinade, in a fondue, stuffed, in vinegar... There are so many ways to enjoy them! Discover cooking at a campsite in Arcachon by the sea with Yelloh! Village.

In addition to the multitude of water sports and other sporting and cultural activities in the region, take advantage of those available at our campsites. First of all, children and adults will be delighted to cool off in the water parks equipped with an outdoor pool, heated indoor pool, slides and a sun terrace.

The staff will offer fitness and dance classes, and run the children's clubs which provide fun and entertaining activities.

After a day filled with discoveries and activities, return to your tent or motor home on the Atlantic coast, or go back to your cosy cottage near the shores of the Lac de Cazaux-Sanguinet. Fishermen's huts, converted boathouses or mobile homes adapted for people with reduced mobility, you’ll find a broad range of comfortable accommodation options. Various services are offered at our open-air hotels, to ensure your holiday is as relaxing as possible: grocery shop, bar/restaurants, bicycle rental, laundry service, etc.

Did you know…?

You can ski in Arcachon, near your campsite in Aquitaine! Not on snow, no (there isn't any), but on pine needles. A ski slope was created in 1938 and maintained for years by the Ski Club bordelaise to keep aficionados of the sport gliding. Despite an accident in the 1970s that put a stop to the sport, the Association des amis de la piste de ski sur aiguilles de pins d'Arcachon (Association of Friends of the Arcachon Pine Needle Ski Run) was set up to revive it.

What to do when camping in Arcachon

Arcachon itself is well worth a visit!  Start your walk along the characterful streets of the town centre with their colonial-style buildings, or with a visit to the magnificent Château Deganne, now a prestigious casino.

A coastal resort above all, you can’t go camping in Arcachon without sampling the benefits of life by the ocean. In addition to the many beaches of Gironde, perfect for swimming, sunbathing or surfing, discover the jewels the basin has to offer! Boat will be your means of transportation as you tour the Île aux Oiseaux or disembark at Banc d'Arguin National Nature Reserve. Almost 150 species of birds live in these protected areas.

Stop off at the Parc Mauresque and stroll along the tree-lined paths, breathe in the fresh air and let your eyes wander as you take in the beauty of your surroundings. Don't forget to visit the Observatoire Sainte Cécile. Take in the 25-metre high view from the observatory and admire the exceptional panorama.
