from 16 reviews Write review

Camping Chez Gendron is a small-scale campsite in the Gironde countryside, amidst vineyards. The Dutch owners organise a lot for their young guests: from horse rides to craft days. Despite this hustle and bustle, you can enjoy peace and quiet on the vast campsite. If there is enough interest, the owners organise a guided tour with a tasting at one of the wineries in the area.

Quiet and spacious spot

The owners have made their place in the countryside of the Gironde a fine destination for those looking for peace and quiet. The campsite is spacious, especially considering the number of pitches. There are fifty touring pitches on the extensive lawns. These are not demarcated, which enhances the spaciousness. Some of the pitches are intended for tent campers. Opposite the fifty touring pitches are four rental accommodations.

Many playing possibilities

You'll find the swimming pool right at the entrance on the right. This is a nice place to play in the water, but certainly not the only place to have fun. With the playground, the large football field and the sweet goats, there is something to do for every young camping guest. Behind the campsite, in the woods, is a mountain bike trail.

On horseback

In high season Sander and Aletta organize fun activities. For example, craft hours, picnic tours and sports tournaments are on the program. But the icing on the cake are horseback rides. Five sweet ponies and horses, from small to large, are ready to be brushed and ridden, whether you are an experienced rider or have never been on a horse before.

€17 per night during lowseason

Lovely little site, total relaxation, some of the best sized showers and a very welcome on site restaurant.
This is a small site and although it has a very good pool and other facilities I had to score lower for these but don’t let that take away from what it is. For what it is this site scores a 9 or 10.
Oh and this site does give ACSI discount.
We will come back!

What can I say? This campsite offers sublime peace and quiet in the most wonderful surroundings. All facilities were very clean and spotless. We were there on mussels and frites night and they were were the best we have ever had. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Small but busy campsite with quirky touches. Shady pitches available; pitches good size. Fresh bread available if ordered the day before.
