Camping Domaine De La Forge

“New and modern static home”

The swimming pool bar and restaurant are all very good. Our accommodation was very spacious and new. We stayed in a static home.

The swimming pool bar and restaurant are all very good. Our accommodation was very spacious and new. We stayed in a static home. It’s maybe a little pricy but was still a good offer compared to other accommodation in the area. We had to bring our own bedding and clean the accommodation or you could pay additional for this service. Food is nice here but don’t forget the rule men need to wear tight swim shorts to use the pool

“Great location. OK for a few days. Small for a long stay”

We stayed in mobile Home #320 for a week in June 2023. It was pre season so a lot of were not "season ready yet" Overall the stay was good but we did not do much at the Domaine de la Forge other than sleeping. The pool is nice and heated. The kids had fun petting the goats. There are multisports courts (you will have to leave an ID to borrow balls, etc but there wasn't a soccer ball when my son asked). Minigolf is OK (pretty old). Overall the grounds were OK, it could use some clean up (lot of weeds in the aisles and gravel areas for example). Internet was very spotty and limited to one device per family at the time. It was so unpractical that we could not use it all our stay (we used our data instead). This should be improved because which family only has one device to be connected nowadays. The quality of connection is terrible (stronger signals are needed), when we went we could not connect, it was slow (and this is not even in full season). The mobile home itself was clean. It was pretty small for the 5 of us with barely any room to move around the beds in the bedrooms. There was good AC though and good natural lighting, Washing machine, dishwasher, fridge, microwave and cooking stove (electric) were all very good. There was no soap for dishwasher, or hand soap in bathrooms or kitchen provided, no sponge or extra trash bags provided either you will have to bring these or purchase all of this. The cleaning fee is expensive for the size of the mobile home and you can clean by yourself (brooms were provided). The location to go to the beaches, Arcachon or Cazaux is convenient. It was easy to get to places from the Camping. The site was very secure with a guard at night and fenced entrances. Overall it was an OK stay, a little expensive for what we get vs renting an Air B&B with everything (linen, towel, soaps, etc) provided. We would stay there again but only if other option are unavailable.

“Could be better given more care and attention”

We stayed here in early July for what should have been 2 weeks but in the end we left 2 days early. Location wise it is great, within an easy drive of the Dune du Pyla, Archachon and various beaches.

We stayed here in early July for what should have been 2 weeks but in the end we left 2 days early. Location wise it is great, within an easy drive of the Dune du Pyla, Archachon and various beaches. This site is made up of nearly 200 mobile homes and wooden chalets, both owned and rented. The positives are the swimming pool (except the slides that had yellow water in them) and the friendly welcome and vibe from the people working there (think Camping Paradis on TF1). However the problem is that the information and in particular photos on the website are misleading, giving the impression that the chalets are more modern and have more internal and external space than is the fact. Our Chalet was dirty when we arrived so we spent 90 mins cleaning it, my kids ended up getting head lice from the beds, which together with the sofa were very uncomfortable as well. Our chalet was also situated next to the main pathway that people use to get to the pool, shop and entertainment so had a lot of noise from people not being that considerate, especially with unattached dogs (especially the small yappy ones!), teenagers driving motorbikes along the paths and a general feeling that those who owned their own homes didn't care about anyone but themselves. Also be aware that depending on where you are within the site, you can hear the aerodrome that is next door and can get annoying when the stunt flights are going on qt the weekends. overall if you want a quiet relaxing holiday then this site is probably too big and there are better places to go. In our case we wouldn't recommend it to frends or family but does depend what you are looking for.
