Family camping holidays in Gironde

Family activities in Gironde
The choice of family activities in Gironde is vast. Water activities to keep you cool, leisure parks to keep you entertained, and beautiful walks in the pretty towns of Gironde. One thing’s for sure: you won’t notice the passage of time during your camping vacation in Gironde!
Nautical activities
With young children, choose activities on Lac d’Hourtin (France’s largest natural freshwater lake) or Lacanau. Because the ocean is full of beautiful, but often powerful waves.
Depending on your preferences, you can go canoeing or kayaking, or try your hand at a towed buoy – all great family fun!
But there are other possibilities too: surfing, wakeboarding, flyboarding, windsurfing, kitesurfing, water skiing, jet-skiing… the list goes on! For a more leisurely activity on the water, you can take a trip on a river cruise boat to discover the Gironde estuary. A lovely walk to share with the whole family.

City walks

Of course, it’s impossible to talk about Gironde without mentioning Bordeaux.
