1 review Write review

In the west of the Médoc region, between Lake Carcans and the Atlantic Ocean, you’ll find the Huttopia Lac de Carcans campsite. You will camp here on the shores of the lake in a large pine forest, which provides shady touring pitches. There is a wide range of comfortable lodge tents, so you can also enjoy a touch of glamping here. Children can have fun in the playground and swimming pool, while water sports enthusiasts can enjoy themselves on the lake and in the sea.

In the shade of pine trees

The touring pitches are nicely laid out between the winding roads, which are sometimes somewhat difficult to access. Many of the pitches have a sandy surface, which can make pitching your tent more difficult. However, you will always have shade from tall pine trees, which fill the hilly dune area. There are also various types of lodge tents (without and with private sanitary facilities).

Family campsite with outdoor pool

The vast forest is one big playground, but children can also have fun on the campsite's wooden playground equipment. There is also an outdoor swimming pool, situated in a sunny spot surrounded by trees. This spacious swimming pool is surrounded by a fence so safe for small children.

Snacks and groceries

In a modern 'roulotte' (gypsy caravan) in the heart of the campsite you will find the snack bar. The bar is surrounded by a wooden terrace, where you can sit in the sun or the shade of the pine trees. Fresh bread is available on the campsite, but for more groceries you will have to leave the campsite. There is a small supermarket a hundred metres away.

Campsite accepts ACSI Club ID

Detail information about this campsite

Inspected annually

"Camping in the heart of nature. With its outdoor swimming pool and paddling pool, 170 spacious touring pitches and a hundred tent lodges, the site covers 13 ha in the forest of Bombannes, on the shore of Lake Carcans. With the UCPA next door, the lake nearby and the ocean just 6 km away, this place is a paradise. Families with children, hikers and cyclists will also find plenty to do here."

Jan, on this campsite in June 2024

Travelling party: Couple

Met eigen caravan en voorluifel op comfort Plus gestaan 18 dagen, 2e helft juni en 1ste dagen van juli. Mooie plek, veel ruimte (wel even zoeken naar vlakke positie voor de caravan op het zand). Heerlijk in het dennenbos (let op er is sprake van hars lekken),dicht bij het meer ( nog geen 10 min lopen) en de zee op 6km, Carcan Plage (rustig dorp aan zee, surf plek) of Lacanau (15 km, levendige badplaatsje, surf plek). bij Lacanau 2 golfbanen 1x 9 (veel spektakel hoog/laag holes, beperkte horeca) en 1 x 18 holes in het bos met horeca), de moeite waard. De wijnroute, Medoc, Bordeaux en Arcachon, plus genoeg fietsroutes om te doen. Prima dus. In Juni was zowel de camping als de streek erg rustig (beperkte opening van zowat alles of minimaal bezet.) Compliment voor de Huttopia staf die jong en enthousiast de boel service verleent (wel graag iets meer sanitair open, ook in juni). Wij zijn fan van de Huttopia sfeer en aanpak!
