Camping de Fontaine Vieille
About
Camping Fontaine Vieille is a four‑star haven on the beautiful Bay of Arcachon, offering families, couples, and nature lovers an unforgettable summer getaway. Nestled beside sandy beaches and lush forests, the campsite boasts a heated outdoor pool, a covered lounge, and a dedicated water‑play area where kids can splash in a safe, warm paddling pool. Beyond water fun, guests can enjoy bike rentals, a family‑friendly club with themed evenings, and a well‑organized tennis, ping‑pong, and bocce section. The site’s restaurant, "Les Voiles du Bassin", serves hearty meals while a nearby supermarket keeps daily needs convenient. The campsite is open from 3 April to 28 September, with reception hours from 9 am to 12 pm and 2 pm to 6 pm on weekdays, and extended hours on weekends. The close proximity to the Boulevard du Colonel Wurtz makes it easy for visitors to access the nearby city center, markets, and the famous Dune du Pilat. Plan your visit early—arrive before the July‑August peak to enjoy quieter paths and smoother reservations for the hot‑swim pool and sunset beach strolls.
