LordThornber Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 This may not be quite near enough to Bordeaux Dave, but we can thouroughly recommend it. Right on the beach, lovely walking and cycling. We went in late Sept and used camping cheques so it was good value, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's €40 ish per night in high season. http://www.bois-soleil.com/WD140AWP/WD140AWP/CTX_29631-87-uzEYinMwqm/Page1/SYNC_-204731464 Martyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JudgeMental Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Always meant to try this yellow village site but have not got down this way yet. If he is as mean/careful? as you probably need to look elsewhere. Best look for a cheap Municipal site in the area.......But by the sea ain't going to be cheap:-D http://www.yellohvillage.co.uk/camping/les_grands_pins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thirtle26 Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 we stayed at campsite in 2009 near Bordeaux - not sure how close to coast though. It was called Bordeaux Lac - it had only just opened and had excellent faciltities. cost in 2009 25 euro per night in July. bus service during week into city but had to walk 3 km to nearest tram stop to get into the city on Sunday.

manwiththepsychoGPS Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Camping Pasteur Rue du Pilote, 33740 Arès, France +33 5 56 60 33 33 ? atlantic-vacances.com We stayed here in the autumn, around October, of 2009. Very nice site, close to beach. Bought some oysters from the fishermen's huts, just up the bay, took two seats to the beach, about two minute's away, and sat on the beach knocking back cheap but decent fizz with the oysters as the sun went down. We needed fleeces but it was just lovely and very quiet. The site is small so I should think booking at holiday times is a must. There are cycling/walking tracks all round the Basin and the town has everything you might need. Coincidentally, it was on this site I realised I was too bloody old for camping and it was about time I bought a 'van. We had been for a very long walk round the bay and were sitting at the door of the tent preparing some food with our little camp stove. The table we used was about 12" high and I was bent over it using a small basin of water to prepare some salad. As usual in the evenings the air was a little damp, but we are used to it. We're ruffty tuffty campers. This Italian chap pulls in to the pitch right next to us in this gleaming 'van. Sorry, no idea of the make as vans weren't really on my horizon then. He looks out the window, nods and smiles, next thing, I hear him singing in his shower as his wife busies round the kitchen and produces this amazing smelling pasta dish in no time. I can see them at the table him freshly showered knocking back the chianti in their nice dry van while I'm in my tent thinking, you're 53 isn't it about time? It was. I started looking when we got home. If your brother goes there, tell him to think of me in my tent. Best wishes Colin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith T Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 thirtle26 - 2011-03-27 12:30 PM we stayed at campsite in 2009 near Bordeaux - not sure how close to coast though. It was called Bordeaux Lac - it had only just opened and had excellent faciltities. cost in 2009 25 euro per night in July. bus service during week into city but had to walk 3 km to nearest tram stop to get into the city on Sunday. We stayed here in 2010, but found it needs to mature, and pitches were small and not well enough delineated. Facilities very good, and the bus service not bad.OK for Bordeaux city, but not really near coast, though on ring road with easy access to city. Would help to be more specific about where on the coast though, as there are loads of sites, especailly around the Arcachon/Pila area, or on the on the northern part Gironde/Aquitane, many of which are listed in the CC Continental Guide.
