Cycling through the pine forests

The Les Landes region is known for its endless cycle paths that run through the forests and along the coast. From the campsite, you can easily cycle through the shady pine forests towards Mimizan or the charming village of Lit-et-Mixe. Along the way, you'll pass dunes, small lakes, and maybe even spot a few wild deer. The 'Circuit du lac et de la forêt' route lets you discover both the nature and the history of the area, with stops at old washhouses, church towers, and the Woolsack castle.

Authentic villages and local markets

Around Lake Aureilhan, you'll find picturesque villages such as Aureilhan itself, Saint-Paul-en-Born, and Sainte-Eulalie-en-Born. Here you can experience the true atmosphere of Les Landes: narrow streets, charming squares, and lively markets with local products. Just ten kilometers away lies Mimizan, also known as the “Pearl of the Côte d’Argent”. Stroll along the boulevard of Mimizan-Plage, visit the local market, or enjoy foie gras, duck breast, and a glass of Gascogne wine on a sunny terrace — the flavors of the region.

Walking along flowers and pilgrimage routes

Hiking enthusiasts can indulge themselves around Huttopia Lac d’Aureilhan. The Promenade Fleurie is a colorful eight-kilometer walking route that runs along the flower-lined shores of the lake. For a bit more adventure, you can walk a section of the historic coastal route of the pilgrims to Santiago de Compostela. From Mimizan, you follow the old path through dunes and forests to Lespecier beach, where you are rewarded with a breathtaking view of the Atlantic Ocean.

Summary created out of 170 reviews

The park is situated by a beautiful lake and offers a lovely swimming pool that guests with children appreciate greatly. Staff are described by many as friendly and helpful. The location is ideal for cycling and walking trips. However, many guests point out camping pitches that are too small and lack privacy, sanitary facilities that are insufficiently maintained and cleaned, and pricing that does not match the provided amenities.

    Pure Nature!
    We had a sturdy 5-person tent with a direct view of the lake, surrounded by a few trees. The tent was in a fantastic location, and it made us feel like we were right in the middle of nature. The kids loved the pool and the lake, and we were able to unwind and relax.
    We’re familiar with the concept from other Huttopia sites and … felt right at home. The entertainment program for the kids: pizza at the bar, plus games and a fun corner, and sometimes a movie, performance, or band in the evening. Great!
    I do want to mention, though, that we were puzzled by a strange smell in the air. My wife did some research and said she suspects that when the wind is blowing in the wrong direction, a musty smell drifts over from a paper mill. That’s why I’m deducting a point for the location. The restrooms near the permanent tents were all like new and were cleaned regularly. They were best in the permanent cabins, since—I suspect—there was less need for cleaning there. Overall, the campground was still quite empty when we were there. I can’t comment on the campsites. The staff at the front desk were very friendly and helpful.
    We had a wonderful time. Thank you!

    Natur Pur!
    Wir hatten ein festes Zelt für 5 Personen mit direktem Blick auf den See umgeben von ein paar Bäumen. Das Zelt war super toll gelegen und wir waren dadurch direkt gefühlt in der Natur. Die Kiddis haben den Pool und den See geliebt und wir konnten ausspannen und relaxen.
    Wir kennen das Konzept von anderen Huttopiaplätzen und fühlten uns gleich wohl. Das Entertainmentprogramm für die Kidds. Die Pizza an der Bar + Spiele und Spaßecke, mal Abends ein Film / Auftritt oder eine Bänd. Klasse!
    Nicht unerwähnt möchte ich aber lassen, dass wir uns über einen Geruch in der Luft wunderten. Meine Frau recherchierte und sagte, dass sie vermutet, wenn der Wind ungünstig steht kommt ein müffliger Gerüch von einer Papierfabrik rübergeweht. Daher der Punkt Abzug beim Standort. Die Sanitären Anlagen bei den festen Zelten waren alle Neuwertig und wurden regelmäßig gereinigt. Am besten waren Sie bei den festen Hütten, da so vermute ich, weniger Bedarf war. Insgesamt war der Campingplatz noch recht leer als wir da waren. Zu den Stellplätzen kann ich nichts sagen. Der Service am Empfang war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit.
    Wir hatten eine sehr schöne Zeit. Danke!

    Hello, the campground was closed since the season was over. However, there are no barriers preventing you from driving through the campground.
    We parked our RV in the parking lot and not on the campground grounds because we were celebrating a birthday at the Salle de la Bergerie right next door (and we really just parked there—we didn’t take up … too much space).
    There was no problem on Saturday and Sunday, but on Monday morning at 8:00 a.m., a young man came and knocked forcefully on our door, ordering us to leave immediately because the parking lot was private.
    We apologized but explained that we hadn’t seen any “No Parking” signs. We asked him to just give us a moment to get dressed since we were in our pajamas. In an extremely unpleasant tone—aggressive to the point of being barely polite—he replied that if we hadn’t left within 10 minutes, clock-to-clock, he would call the police!!! .
    It’s true that when the campground reopens, this really doesn’t make us want to come spend a few days there!!!!
    You can ask for and explain instructions without using such a nasty tone! My husband and I are both over 70, and speaking to us in that tone seemed very disrespectful!

    Bonjour , le camping était fermé , la saison étant terminée . En revanche , il n'y a pas de gabarit empêchant le passage au travers du camping.
    Nous nous sommes garés avec notre camping-car dans le parking et pas dans le camping car nous fêtions un anniversaire à la salle de la bergerie tout à côté ( et vraiment juste garés et pas étalés) .
    Pas de problème pour le samedi et dimanche mais le lundi matin à 8 h00 , un jeune homme est venu frapper énergiquement à notre portière et nous a sommés de quitter les lieus immédiatement car le parking était privé .
    Nous nous sommes excusés mais nous avons expliqué que nous n'avions vu aucun panneau d'interdiction de se garer. Nous lui avons demandé de juste prendre le temps de nous vêtir car nous étions en tenue de nuit . D'un ton extrêmement désagréable , agressif à la limite de la politesse , il nous a répondu que si nous n'étions pas partis dans les 10 mn montre en main , il appelait la gendarmerie !!! .
    Il est vrai que quand le camping réouvrira , ça ne donne vraiment pas envie de venir y passer quelques jours !!!!
    On peut demander et expliquer des consignes sans un ton aussi méchant ! Nous avons mon mari et moi plus de 70 ans et ce ton pour nous parler nous semblait très irrespectueux !

    I went there a few times this summer with my kids—no problems during peak season.
    However, during the off-season—that is, last weekend—there were no lifeguards?
    The pool was overrun by people smoking and drinking alcohol; I didn’t feel safe with my daughter, so we left and went somewhere else. I was very disappointed. When you call to report … all this, they don’t care and act surprised.

    In short, it’s a shame—the place was beautiful, but we’ll go somewhere else next year.

    J y suis allé quelques fois cet été avec mes enfants ,sans problème durant la grande saison.
    Par contre hors saison c est a dire weekend dernier, aucun vigile?
    Piscine squatter par des personnes qui fumer et buvait de l alcool , je ne me sentais pas en sécurité avec ma fille nous sommes partis ailleurs, tres déçu , quand vous appelez pour dire tout sa , ils s en fichent et font les étonnés

    Bref dommage le lieu était magnifique, on ira ailleurs l année prochaine.

    There was a really nice atmosphere at this campground over the weekend—we stayed in a safari tent during the off-season. The staff was very welcoming, the natural setting was perfect for relaxing in peace, the pool was superb and very pleasant, and the proximity to Mimizan was a plus. We’d definitely go back—this package is great!

    Ambiance très sympa en weekend dans ce camping, en mode tente safari, en aile de saison. Accueil très agréable, cadre nature parfait pour se ressourcer au calme, superbe piscine très agréable, proximité de Mimizan appréciable. À refaire, la formule est top !
