Les Prés Verts, Lakefront campground in Gastes, France
Les Prés Verts is a lakeside campground next to Lake Biscarrosse offering spaces for both tents and mobile homes of various types. The facility provides heated swimming pools and direct beach access for water activities throughout the camping area.
The campground started in the 1970s when the Landes region became known as a destination for nature tourism near the Atlantic coast. This timing reflects the rise of camping as a popular way to enjoy the area's natural resources.
The site reflects how people in this region have always lived close to water and nature, with the lake setting the rhythm for activities and daily routines. Visitors experience this connection directly through the layout and use of the grounds.
The site operates from April through October with easy vehicle access and ample parking throughout the grounds. Those arriving without a car can arrange local rentals or use public transport from nearby Gastes to reach the location.
The grounds include areas set aside specifically for watching the night sky, where low light pollution from the surrounding forest makes stars and constellations easy to see. Campers take advantage of the dark, clear conditions to observe celestial events throughout the season.
