Camping L'Orée du Bois, 4-star campground in Hourtin, France
Camping L'Orée du Bois is a campground set in a natural area with mobile homes, wooden cabins, chalets, and canvas bungalows near France's largest lake. The variety of accommodation types scattered across the site allows guests to choose based on their comfort preferences.
The establishment of L'Orée du Bois marked an important step in developing outdoor tourism in the Médoc region. It opened access to lake and coastal activities for visitors to an area that was previously underdeveloped for tourism.
The site hosts evening entertainment programs and sports events that bring together visitors from various European countries throughout the summer season. These shared activities create a casual gathering space for families and groups to connect.
The campground has an indoor swimming pool, waterslides, a grocery store, and snack bar along with laundry facilities and bicycle rentals. All these amenities are scattered across an easily walkable and relatively flat terrain, making navigation straightforward for families.
New pedestrian zones and a children's recreation area with multisport facilities are being added to the site and will open in 2025. These expansions show how the campground is adapting to provide more space for family activities and movement.
