Leirintäalue Panorama du Pyla ****

Fabulous location amongst the pine trees looking over the sea. Sunsets not to be missed. Dogs loved it as well. Good well stocked supermarket. Pizza / Burger restaurant very good take away and eating in. Pizzas very good. Staff excellent. Swimming pool very good as unheated \'adult \' pool and children\'s water play area as well. Would recommend- probably gets very busy in high season. Pitches small amongst the pine trees but wonderful.

Now this is a hard one to review for us as a couple. If you want a nice quiet campsite this will not be for you.
The motorhome pitches were very small compared to the caravan pitches.
Very noisy till about 10:30pm with kids running around shouting.(enjoying themselves) I\'m not anti children

You HAVE to stay as the views are outstanding. Facilities good and clean. Very hilly and can be difficult to manoeuvre caravan if you turn the wrong way. Look at the tree trunks for directions and don\'t use no entries. It\'s a good idea to have someone walk ahead to find a spot.
We stayed extra days as the beach is stunning ( a very steep walk back up though but worth it). This site is a must.

We arrived the last week of september 2013 just before the winter closure. The site was still spotless and pitches beautifully maintained. The location and views are so stunning we could have been in the Seychelles! The staff are bilingual and very helpful. Local information and a book exchange in reception. The restaurant with panoramice views was worthy of a michelin star! The amazing dune of 110metres high was right alongside the site with miles of sandy beaches. A campsite not to be missed plus local taxes out of high season.

Absolutely unique, a dune that size less than a 100 metres from our pitch! Good shop, restaurant, sanitation. Pitches vary as to where on the site they are, we were very lucky and found a reasonable size, a little sloping but with amazing views of the sea and sand!

There is everything you could want in the way of facilities here, without it being overly commercial. Three places to eat, several pools, a good shop, plenty of shower blocks and access to the beach if you don't mind the climb back. The views across the Bassin d'Arcachon are great, and the dunes don't tower over the site, unlike some which are closer to the Pyla Dune.

All in all an excellent campsite.

We stayed for 5 nights and had a lovely time, great pitch, toilets were always clean and great showers, the view from our pitch was amazing.

We have stayed on this site for the last 5 years, and this year for the first time it accepted ACSI, which made it cheaper of course. Have only stayed out of the main season, either June or September, but have never encountered the toilet facilities as dirty, as described by previous reviewers. Perhaps it is a problem in peak season.
Some pitches are difficult to negotiate due to trees, but they are generous and those nearer the front have superb views. Also, some pitches are not suitable for motorhomes due to them being sandy.
There are cycle paths from the campsite, which we have used extensively, in 1 direction you can cycle to Biscarrosse, in the other to Arcachon.

The site is adjacent to the Dune of Pyla, Europe's largest dune, and is great to have a walk on. The sea/beach is reached either via some steps or down the dune, but it's a steep climb back up!
