Camping de la Côte d'Argent *****
General information
Fun in the Water on the Atlantic Coast
Is your holiday wishlist all about a water park, sea, beach, and great entertainment? Then Camping de la Côte d'Argent could be the perfect match. Located on the French Atlantic coast, this campsite offers families everything they need: a large water park with slides, indoor and outdoor pools, fun playgrounds, sports facilities, and all the amenities close at hand.
By the Coast
Camping de la Côte d'Argent sits right on the beautiful sandy beaches of the Gironde in France. This region is a magnet for water sports enthusiasts and travelers who enjoy fine wine, nature, and culture. With the beach just 300 meters away and a nearby lake, it’s an ideal spot for water sports lovers. Ever wanted to try surfing, sailing, or water skiing? This is the place to be.
Beach and Water Park
If you’re looking for a holiday full of water fun, you’re in the right place. Swimming, surfing, sliding, or just relaxing – it’s all here. The 9,000-square-meter water park promises daily fun in the water. Take on one of the ten water slides or go with the flow in the lazy river. For the little ones, there’s a fantastic water playground with games and small slides.
Five-Star Entertainment
Camping de la Côte d'Argent is a fully-equipped campsite with plenty of services, facilities, and activities. In the morning, you can pick up fresh bread from the bakery, and there’s also a wine shop, bar, and supermarket. If your car is already packed but you’re missing a few things, no problem – you can rent a cooler, barbecue, or bike right here. And there’s no shortage of entertainment and activities: in the summer holidays, little ones can enjoy crafts while older siblings join in sports tournaments. In the evenings, enjoy lively shows, karaoke, or game nights.
Explore the Gironde
If you love surfing, kitesurfing, or just relaxing, playing, or reading on the beach, this region with its endless sandy beaches and dunes is the ideal destination. For beginner water sports enthusiasts or families with young children, the Lac d'Hourtin is perfect. The water is calmer here than in the sea, making it easy to try windsurfing, kitesurfing, or sailing at your own pace. Be sure to visit the beautiful city of Bordeaux, just an hour and a half’s drive away. Wander through the historic center or taste the local wines and seafood specialties.
