Went to Camping la Rive about 5 years ago - Lake was fantastic - crystal clear and 28C - safe for the kids because even if you walked out 200m you were only in 1m of water.
Climbing the Pyla dune is a bit of fun and teh beach at Biscarosse was good.
Thanks TethersEnd- there are so few comments on this area we were beginning to think we'd made a mistake. But it sounds just what we want. Did you go in the sea at all?
Great beach with a few cross currents at Biscarosse - very popular with the surfers. We were returning,with kids, to a beach we used before we were married - it is still great but the kids liked the lake and we were grateful that it was so safe. A dutch bloke arrived at La Rive mid week having left one of the coastal sites in Biscarosse because of the drug abuse on site- he was from Amsterdam so I guess he was no stranger to it and knew what he was talking about but La Rive was a family friendly site. Arcachon is worth exploring.
