Landae
Landae is a small campsite in the pine forest at Ondres, in the Landes region of Aquitaine, France. Its main draw is nature: you can cycle or walk through the trees to a wild beach just 1.8 km away, then come back to a heated saltwater pool.
The park covers 6 hectares with 230 pitches, so it is small enough to explore on foot or by bike. It is semi-pedestrian and toddler friendly. Yoga and Pilates sit alongside guided forest walks. A circus school runs too, while qualified instructors teach surfing.
Food is a real feature here. The restaurant and bistro cook with fresh local produce. A vegan menu is on offer too. La Boutique sells Basque cheeses plus Vin des Sables, a sand wine from the Landes. Weekly tasting sessions let you try local drinks.
Evenings bring live shows and music, from cabaret to acoustic sessions. The park is open from May to Sep and has a more lively feel. Biarritz airport is 28.2 km away. A car is recommended for getting out and about, with Ondres 3.1 km away.
