Domaine de la Forge
About
Experience the Domaine de la Forge, a 4‑star camping resort on the Arcachon Bay, where nature meets comfort and creativity. Situated in the tranquil forested La Teste‑de‑Buch, the site offers a wide range of modern mobile homes, chalets, and bungalows, each with private plots of 200‑350 m². Guests enjoy heated pools (May–September), a mini‑golf course, tennis courts, bike hire, a petting zoo, and an onsite bar and restaurant that serves local produce and seasonal dishes. Summer brings a unique cultural addition: ART Land, a free art space created with resident artist Kokou SENAVON. The repurposed mobile‑home turned studio offers visitors a chance to view the artist’s work, participate in shared creation sessions, and meet the artist at the reception. Access is open to all guests, making it an inspiring touchstone for families and creative travelers. Booking is required for all accommodations and can be made online or by phone at +33 5 64 10 20 20. The campsite remains open year‑round, with an annual closure from 5 January to 16 January 2026.
