Where is Camping Club Navarrosse Plage located?
Camping Club Navarrosse Plage is located in Biscarrosse-Lac, in the Landes department (40600), on the shore of Lake Cazaux-Sanguinet, about ten kilometers from the Atlantic Ocean. It is a country of water and pines: the large lakes of the Landes, the Landes de Gascogne forest, and, to the west, the long sandy beaches of the Côte d'Argent. Biscarrosse, which the tourist office describes as“one-third ocean, one-third lake, one-third forest,” lives in harmony with these three environments. The campground is located in a wooded area on the edge of the lake, with its beach and harbor, away from the hustle and bustle but just a few minutes from the ocean beaches. A prime location: the calm of the freshwater, and a plenty of sites within easy reach—the great lakes, the ocean, and the surf at Biscarrosse-Plage, the Dune du Pilat, and the Arcachon Basin. This is the Landes region—perfect for water sports and family fun—and yet just a little more than an hour from Bordeaux.
The Great Lakes and the Marensin Region
The campground borders Lake Cazaux-Sanguinet, the largest lake in the Landes region and one of the largest natural freshwater lakes on the Aquitaine coast (approximately 55 km², second only to Lake Hourtin-Carcans in the Médoc). It is a vast freshwater body, shallow near the shores, with calm and warm waters in summer—ideal for family swimming and water sports, far from the waves and currents of the ocean. A canal (the Landes Canal, or Trans-Aquitaine Canal, dug in the 19th century) connects it to Lake Biscarrosse and Lake Parentis, a little further south. All around it stretches the Landes de Gascogne Forest, the largest pine forest in Europe, created in the 19th century through dune stabilization. Between the lake, the forest, and the ocean, the Biscarrosse area is an exceptional natural playground, best explored from a campground right on the shore of the freshwater lake.
Biscarrosse, between the lake and the ocean
Biscarrosse consists of three distinct areas, which should not be confused: Biscarrosse-Bourg, the town, in the center; Biscarrosse-Lac, the recreation area on the lake (where the campground is located, in the Navarrosse area), a few kilometers to the north; and Biscarrosse-Plage, the seaside resort on the Côte d’Argent, about nine kilometers to the west, on the ocean. The Club Navarrosse Plage, in Biscarrosse-Lac, is therefore on the lakeside—to be distinguished from Camping Club Le Vivier, located on the ocean side in Biscarrosse-Plage. This lakeside location, with a beach and a harbor, is precisely what gives the campground its charm: you can enjoy the freshwater right on site, and it’s easy to get to the ocean, the forest, or the Dune du Pilat. An ideal base for a family water sports vacation.
The estate, on the shore of the lake
The campground features 468 campsites spread over 11 hectares, right on the shores of Lake Biscarrosse. This map, the 2026 operating season, and access to the marina are published on the official Camping Club Navarrosse Plage website, accessed on July 24, 2026.
An Unsupervised Beach to Be Prepared For
The campground's beach opens directly onto the lake, but swimming is unsupervised. MS Vacances also indicates that the water is shallow near the shore. These are two separate pieces of information: a shallow shoreline is no substitute for adult supervision or for reading the posted safety guidelines.
A trip centered around the harbor
The private marina has 120 boat moorings distributed between the marina and the Canalot. The operator notes that there is no dock, that boats are launched at the campground, and that trailers may remain in the outdoor parking lot. A navigation fee must be paid at the harbor master’s office.

What is there to do at the campground and around the lake?
At Camping Club Navarrosse Plage, planning your stay begins with the lake: an unsupervised beach, a boat launch, and a private dock. The water activities advertised by the operator include paddleboarding, pedal boats, and transparent kayaks, among others. Their availability depends on partners and the dates of your stay.
Arriving by boat
Reserve the parking space with the campground before departure and inform the driver of the equipment being transported. Campground regulations require payment of the navigation fee and presentation of the required documents for the boat. The trailer may be left in the outdoor parking lot, but the campground does not provide secure storage while it is closed.
2026 in Practice
For 2026, MS Vacances is announcing a playground for children under three, new attractions at Belito Land, and a new street workout area. The cottages can accommodate up to eight people. Check the activity schedules and equipment options directly when making your reservation.
| Activity | Where / Distance | Good to Know |
|---|---|---|
| Beach | on site | unsupervised swimming |
| Launching | at the campground | available space |
| Mooring | Port and Canalot | 120 stakes · without a pontoon |
| Trailer | outdoor parking lot | location indicated by the campground |
The Great Lakes and the sandy beaches
Here, the lake isn't just a place to visit: it determines access to the beach, use of the marina, and preparation of equipment. The key point is the difference between the shallow water marked near the shore and the lack of lifeguard supervision at the campground beach.
A waterfront designed for boating vacations
The official website lists the surface area of Lake Biscarrosse as 55 km² and notes that it is shallow for the first few meters. To prepare for a day out, be sure to separate your needs: flotation equipment and personal supervision for swimming, a with a partner for an activity, and marina formalities for a private boat.
Main Beach and Downtown
MS Vacances is located 1 km from the lake's main beach and 6 km from the center of Biscarrosse. A bike path runs right past the campground. A paid shuttle service to the beach is available from June through September; its schedule and exact stop should be checked on site, as they are not listed in detail on the campground’s information sheet.
The Dune du Pilat and the Arcachon Bay
A trip to the Dune du Pilat isn't something you plan like a day at the lake. To avoid a wasted round trip, decide on the pick-up point and time before leaving the campground, then allow enough time to account for summer crowds and access conditions to the site.
Arrange for pickup at La Dune
Let the driver know if you are traveling with a stroller, or a change of shoes: these items can remain in the vehicle during the tour if a pickup has been arranged. The opening hours, temporary restrictions, and access conditions are determined by the Grand Site manager and must be verified on the day of the outing.
Combine with Arcachon without making unrealistic promises
You can visit Dune and Arcachon in a single day, but the itinerary depends on how much time you spend at each location. Opt for two specific meeting points rather than a strictly timed tour. To help you plan the second leg of your trip, our Arcachon guide lists the main landmarks; booking the transfer is a separate process.
The Forest, Biking, and the Air of the Landes
The marked bike path in front of the campground makes it easy to take short trips without having to load the bikes into the car. Before you leave, check with the campground about rental options, children’s equipment, and parking policies: the official listing does not guarantee their availability for every stay.
Planning a Day of Cycling
Be sure to bring water, sunscreen, a bike lock, and a way to contact us. A nearby trail does not mean that every route is continuous or suitable for all ages. Ask at the front desk for the most up-to-date map, choose a loop that’s suitable for your group, and keep the full address of the campground in case you need to return.
Return to the campground and pickup location
When requesting a ride home after an outing, don’t just say“Navarrosse”—use the current name and the full address: 712 Chemin de Navarrosse in Biscarrosse. Include a phone number where you can be reached and agree on a visible meeting spot. This detail prevents confusion with other beaches or campgrounds in Biscarrosse.
Why Choose a Private Transfer to Your Campground?
The private shuttle connects Bordeaux to Camping Club Navarrosse Plage via 74 km in about 1 hour and 17 minutes, starting at €144 during the day for 1 to 3 passengers. The door-to-door drop-off eliminates the need to split the journey between the train, the shuttle, and the last kilometer with your luggage.
Provide the right information before departure
Please provide the check-in time listed on the confirmation, the number of passengers, the amount of luggage, and any water sports equipment. For a pickup from the train station or airport, include the train or flight number. The driver can then suggest a suitable pickup time and confirm the vehicle.
A clearly defined removal
Use the address“712 Chemin de Navarrosse, Biscarrosse” and specify whether you would like to be dropped off at the reception desk or at the location indicated in your travel itinerary. The fixed quote will be provided before departure. Any requests for a trailer or oversized luggage must be reported before confirmation.
When is the best time to stay at Camping Club Navarrosse Plage?
Camping Club Navarrosse Plage announces that it will open on May 8 through September 20, 2026. Services and activities may follow shorter schedules: check the dates that are relevant to your stay before booking transportation. The campground's beach remains unsupervised during the advertised season.

| Early Fall | water that's still clear, golden light, peaceful spots | couples, biking in the forest, heritage |
Plan Your Trip to Navarrosse
To prepare for your arrival, refer to your campground confirmation: dates, type of accommodations, check-in time, and any options you’ve reserved. Add the number and size of your bags, any child seats, and any water sports equipment. These details will determine the vehicle and the drop-off location to be confirmed.
Verify the Information 2026
The announced operating season runs from May 8 to September 20, 2026. The campground’s beach is unsupervised. The marina has 120 mooring posts, with an on-site slip and a mooring without a pontoon. This information was verified on July 24, 2026, on the official MS Vacances website.
Preparing for the Return

Getting to the campground from Bordeaux
Camping Club Navarrosse Plage is 74 km from Bordeaux, or about 1 hour and 17 minutes. Private transfers start at €144 during the day for 1 to 3 passengers. These figures are based on the standard commercial route and were verified on July 24, 2026.
| Route | Distance | Duration | Details |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bordeaux → campground (Biscarrosse-Lac) | 74 km | about 1 hour and 17 minutes | Starting at€144 during the day, 1 to 3 passengers |
By car, the quickest route follows the A63 south, then take the exit for Sanguinet and Biscarrosse-Lac; allow about 1 hour and 17 minutes, depending on traffic, which is heavier in the summer on the Bordeaux bypass. By train, there is no station in Biscarrosse: the closest one is Ychoux (about 20 kilometers away, via a direct TER train from Bordeaux), but you’ll then need to take a regional bus—which runs infrequently—to reach the lake. That’s the whole point of the private transfer: door-to-door, it avoids connections and drops you off directly at the entrance to the Camping Club Navarrosse Plage campground, on the lakefront.
Whether you’re heading out on vacation, need a ride coordinated with your flight or train, or are staying at a campground without a car, booking a private chauffeur guarantees a comfortable and punctual ride— Book a driver from Bordeaux → Camping Club Navarrosse Plage or explore All of our destinations.

What is there to do at Camping Club Navarrosse Plage and around
the lake?
There’s plenty to do, and everything is close by. On-site: swimming in the lake, the beach, the private marina, the heated pool, and the wellness center. Around the lake: sailing, stand-up paddleboarding, canoeing, and the lifeguard-patrolled beaches of Navarrosse and Maguide. About ten kilometers away, the ocean and surfing at Biscarrosse-Plage. For culture: the Hydraviation Museum in Biscarrosse (the history of seaplanes and the Aéropostale) and the Sanguinet Lake Museum (prehistoric canoes and the Gallo-Roman “sunken city”). A little further north, the Dune du Pilat (the tallest in Europe) and the Arcachon Basin (Arcachon, Cap Ferret, stilt huts). Not to mention the pine forest and the Vélodyssée bike path for cycling between the lake and the ocean. Enough to fill a week without ever having to ride very far.
Is Lake Biscarrosse suitable for children to swim in?
The official information sheet notes that the water is shallow near the shore, but also that swimming is unsupervised at the campground beach. An adult must therefore remain on active watch and follow the on-site signage. For a supervised beach, check the municipal regulations in effect during the dates of your stay.
Is Camping Club Navarrosse Plage family-friendly?
Yes, it’s a family-friendly 4-star campground, designed for vacations with children. The lake and its sandy beach, the heated pool, the lagoon, and the wading pool are a hit with the little ones; plus, there are kids’ clubs and seasonal activities.

For your arrival, a private transfer from Bordeaux makes everything easier: you travel together, with your luggage, beach gear , and—upon request—child seats, without the hassle of driving. Since the campground is located on the lakefront with no train station nearby, a driver familiar with the area will drop you off right at the correct entrance. For exact details on the facilities, please refer to the official website.
How far is it from Bordeaux to Camping Club Navarrosse Plage ?
The standard route between Bordeaux and the campground is 74 km, or about 1 hour and 17 minutes. The private transfer starts at €144 during the day for 1 to 3 passengers. The price is provided before departure; bulky luggage and water sports equipment must be disclosed in advance.
Can we go to the Dune du Pilat from the campground?
Yes, easily: the Dune du Pilat is about a 30-minute drive north of the campground (via Sanguinet and La Teste-de-Buch), or about 35 kilometers. It’s the tallest dune in Europe: a mountain of sand about 100 to 110 meters high and nearly three kilometers long, towering over the pine forest on one side and the ocean on the other. Climb to the top for a unique panoramic view of the Arcachon Basin, the Banc d’Arguin, and the ocean—a magical sight at sunset. It’s a must-see excursion from Biscarrosse. A private chauffeur can take you there and pick you up at the agreed-upon time, helping you avoid the long lines at the parking lot during peak season. You can combine this with a visit to Arcachon and its“Ville d’Hiver.”
How can I get to Camping Club Navarrosse Plage without a car?
That’s precisely the appeal of private transportation. Biscarrosse doesn’t have a train station (the line closed to passengers in 1960). The train goes as far as Ychoux (about 20 kilometers away, via a direct TER from Bordeaux), but you then need to transfer to a regional bus that runs infrequently to reach Biscarrosse and the lake—a real headache with kids, luggage, and beach gear. And renting a car for the entire duration of your stay, when you can reach the lake and the beach on foot or by bike, is expensive. With an executive car service, you’re picked up in Bordeaux (at the airport, Saint-Jean train station, or your hotel) and driven directly to the campground entrance, with all your luggage, in a single trip (about 1 hour and 17 minutes). Once there, you can book the driver on demand for excursions. On the way back, he’ll pick you up at the campground. It’s the simplest and most relaxing solution, especially for families.
When is the best time to stay at Camping Club Navarrosse Plage?
The campground is scheduled to be open from May 8 to September 20, 2026. Please check the dates for clubs, activities, water sports partners, and services separately, as they may not be available throughout the entire season. The campground’s beach is not lifeguarded; this information remains valid during the announced opening period.
