Sites and Landscapes Camping Lou P'tit Poun — Hotel in District of Dax

This is a tale of 2 weeks. First of all let me state what we paid. Around 970E for the two week stay. It was the most expensive site of our 3 month tour. We appreciated that we stayed in high season but expected a fantastic stay. Unfortunately for the first week we didn’t. We had paid for an XXL pitch with electricity, water and drainage. We were shown to a field. Our facilities point was quite a way from our pitch. Not to worry as we have very long cables. The problem came on the first night when folks arrived for a one, two or 3 night stay and everyone was rammed onto this area. This happened every day. There were not enough points for everyone. Indeed the main post had around 8 electricity outlets and the owners had to provide “splitters” and extension leads for nearly 100 meters! We had people arriving and unplugging our electric and water outlets. There were a few confrontations when we put ours back in. We did mention this to the site to ask them to tell anyone arriving to leave our electric and water alone. It honestly became like staying in an Aire with everyone cramped in fighting for space. It was not relaxing at all. You couldn’t sit outside in the evening and enjoy your meal as it was like being in a car park with everyone on top on you. We looked around the site daily to see if there were any suitable pitches we could move to but unfortunately there wasn’t. At the start of the second week we found a pitch that was empty and moved on to that. From then on it was like being on a different site. We were in a small cul de sac so had no one driving past us all the time with our own services and hedges separating the pitches. This was more like it. The second week was great. On arrival we were asked for our passports. This is the first time in 7 years visiting France that we have been asked for them. Not a problem but strange. We were given no information about the site or the area. Indeed when we asked for a map we were shown to the front window and told to take a photo! We were given a leaflet with rules and instructions on - eg not to hang washing lines between trees. However everyone appeared to ignore this, so it’s obviously not enforced. The pool and pool area is very small for the size of the site. For A 4* site it could do with a general tidy up. We saw no maintenance in the time we stayed. You are given cards which allow you two 5 minute showers a day. Not a problem for us as we used our own. The facilities block is quite a walk from the grass field. There aren’t enough for the amount of people on site and they could do with being modernised. They are clean. The dump point is right near where people are washing up! The reception is closed from mid day until 3pm.

Summary. The first week 1* to 2 . The second week 3 to 4* (mainly because we were self contained within our camper.) It may have been different if we wanted to use the facilities and the pool. Overall 2* taking into account the cost and other...

Stayed her for a fortnight with family whilst daughters competed in oceanperf surf lifesaving in mid August.||We are use to very crowded sites at this time of the year so what a suprise to find space, piece and quiet!|Pitches large and green. Plenty of water and hook ups.|Toilets always seemed clean whatever time of day so no complaints there.|The toilets are mixed gender as are most of France unless frequented or owned by the Dutch campers.|Toilet roll supplied 😊|Bread can be ordered night before by writing on wall by bar.|Nice bar and restaurant with basic food served. Closes very early for France, latest we see it open was 10.30 but suits us!|No entertainment of an evening ofr themed evenings which often happen on these sites.|Clean spacious pool lots of sun beds. Never busy no lifeguard so relaxed and parent policed 😉|Very friendly owners who show you to pitch.|Barrier closed around 11pm so no late night car door banging. Plenty of secure parking for late night outings.|Gardens and planting a treat.|We drove to coast in capbreton each day which is a 20-25 min drive although local beach is lovely and 10mins away. It was worth the drive to avoid the large cramped pitches on nearer sites.||The site is very green and we seemed to hv a shower of rain each day but this just freshened the air. It was in 30s so welcome relief!|My younger daughter attended the children's club which was art and craft based which she enjoyed practising her french each day.|I think this will be a site we return to each year.|Only two comments for owners please please provide soap to wash hands ! Such a basic thing but such a necessary requirement in this day and age. France seems to be a bit behind on this.|Secondly please repair spring on pool gate 😉.|A real gem thank you and see you...
