Camping Paradis des Pins-Soulac is located on the Médoc peninsula, the wine region above Bordeaux on the western bank of the Gironde. Here you'll camp in a forest on the west coast of France, close to the Atlantic Ocean. The sea here is not only great for swimmers; also lots of surfers also head for the Atlantic coast. And of course wine lovers will also enjoy the region.

Camping in the forest

The location of the campsite, in the middle of a forest and close to the beach, has many advantages. You camp on a very quiet spot, which is largely sheltered by the dense foliage of the trees. In order to preserve the peace and quiet, cars are only allowed on the site upon arrival and departure. In between your car is parked on a separate parking lot. A disadvantage of camping in the woods is the subsoil; the touring pitches are on loose sand. It can take a while to level your camping equipment.

The Atlantic Ocean

Near the entrance of the campsite you will find the swimming pool. This is quite simple: rectangular and large enough, with a small area for toddlers. A nice place to cool down. You can also decide to go to the beach, which is perhaps easiest to reach by bike. Although you can also easily walk the two kilometers.

Soulac-sur-Mer

At the campsite you can eat a pizza in the restaurant, but if you want to taste local dishes, Soulac-sur-Mer is a great destination. You can count on it that one of the restaurants on the boulevard will serve different kinds of seafood.

Travelling party: Family with children <4 years

We had the WORST experience ever! Their website promissed a beautifull, relaxed and calm spacious campsite in honour with nature. Well...that\'s a load of bullsh*t.

We booked a 7 night stay and with our reservation I specifically noted that we were travelling with a camping car that folds out into a tent of 8 by 5m. I received an confirmation e-mail and payed for our upcoming holiday.

After a 12h car ride we arrived at the campsite. It already looked way more crowded and busy than the website promised. I entered the reception area. I stated our name and got a map of the campsite were our pitch would be. (Note, I payed for a \'GRAND CONFORT\' pitch that would have electricity and a water point.) We looked but couldn\'t find the pitch or it looked like someone already occupied the pitch with a campervan. A German couple saw us looking and informed us that we were standing on the pitch . There was NO WAY our tent would fit. Not even a pop-up tent could fit there without sitting practically next to the people on the neighbouring pitch. Back to the reception where I informed them that our tent would not fit this pitch. Clearly annoyed she drew out 3 more pitches and on we went to look. Two of them were also too small ( I think maximum 20-30m²) and one was in 2 levels (10m² up and than 2m down a hill another 20m²) I have NEVER in my life seen pitches and a campsite like this! I think for summer season they divide every normal pitch in 4, that is how small they are!)

Slighlty agitated I went back to the reception and said again it would not fit and that I could not understand how this is happening while I clearly stated the dimensions of our tent in our reservation. The receptionist said that she knew they were too small but it was the only places they had available. I stated that than they should have cancelled my reservation and not let us drive 12 hours from home with 2 children and no place to sleep that night! Again, it was high season and in the meantime 8pm, there was no way we were going to find a place to sleep or another campsite in the area. I demanded a refund and she said she could only pay back me the next day and gave us a mobilhome to sleep in that night. The mobilhome was dirty and smelled. It was horrible , I did not sleep at all! Under the doormat there were faul stains like someone died there.

The next day I waited at the reception for it to open so I could get my money back and we could leave. To my even greater surprise they wanted to CHARGE us for the night in the faul mobilehome! I was really pissed of and demanded a FULL refund!

NEVER EVER EVER EVER AGAIN!

Liked - De camping zelf: goed ingericht, grote kanpeerplekken, relaxed sfeer, voldoende faciliteiten en schoon.
Disliked - Het restaurant! Sacherijnige bediening, eten was middelmatig en in verhouding duur.
In verhouding erg veel huisjes/huurtenten en weinig echte kampeerplekken.
