Sous les Pins, Coastal campground in La Tremblade, France
Sous les Pins is a coastal campground in La Tremblade featuring 78 plots nestled among maritime pine trees. The site sits approximately 1 kilometer from the Atlantic Ocean and 500 meters from forest, creating a natural wooded setting.
The campground was established during the expansion of coastal tourism in Charente-Maritime in the mid-twentieth century. This growth transformed La Tremblade into a destination for travelers seeking access to the Atlantic coastline.
The site connects visitors to the traditional oyster farming heritage of La Tremblade, where local producers have worked the waters for generations. You can observe farmers preparing their harvest during early morning walks along the waterfront nearby.
The plots are level and spread among the trees along easy-to-follow pathways. Shade from the pines varies throughout the day, so choose your spot with sunlight in mind depending on when you prefer to relax.
Each plot integrates naturally within the maritime pine forest, providing dappled shade from native trees rather than relying on artificial structures. This thoughtful layout lets campers enjoy shelter under living trees, creating a woodland experience rather than a typical open field setting.
