Hi there

Looking for some advice on campsites on the atlantic coast (France). This will be the first time towing abroad (scary). We have a surfer in the group who wants to catch some waves!!

Any suggestions?

Hi there,

We went to La Baule this year, the first time that we have done the France trip. The camp site was pretty average but I have to say that the region and in particular the coast line was superb. The climate was good as well with plenty to do around the area.

Good luck.

We go here twice a year for the past couple of years. The site is quite a big site with lots to do. There is direct beach access (about 200m) and the surf can get up to excellent levels. The beach is a basin beach so can be dangerous, but there is a safe swimming area with coast guards. The beach can be very busy resembling something out of Baywatch in the peak periods. We tend to go Whit week and last two weeks of august as it's not busy. The site has a choice of swimminpools and places to eat.

All along this stretch is good for surfing, soustons is another good surfing beach.

Hossenger has the best waves generally,really good for surfing somethink to do with the seabed offshore.Series surfers will go gooey eyed at the mention of Hossengor.

Havn,t camped there for close on 20 years and didn,t really bother much with sites then so cant help in that department.
