Le Col D Ibardin Campsite
Le Col D Ibardin Campsite sits in the heart of the French Basque Country, just 10 minutes from the Spanish border near Urrugne in Landes. This family-focused site delivers a winning combination: a heated pool complex with three slides and a toddler splash zone, plus easy access to the three-kilometre sandy stretch at Ondarraitz beach.

The setting puts you within striking distance of both French and Spanish Basque culture. Hendaye's magnificent beach sits 12km away, whilst San Sebastián's pintxos bars and La Concha beach are a 40km drive. Closer still, Sare and Ainhoa showcase traditional Basque villages with whitewashed houses and cobbled squares. The parc itself keeps everyone occupied: try your hand at pelota (the local Basque sport), shoot hoops on the basketball court or tackle the mini golf course. Kids' clubs run throughout July and August and there's a playground with slides and swings.
