VIP places are large with own toilet, shower and even a small dishwasher. We loved this, such a luxury!
It’s too busy at the pool and in general. Apart from the VIP places, the campsite feels too cramped and crowded.
Loved the size of the VIP pitch and facing our own washing facilities and even dishwasher. Glad to be at the edge of the campsite where it was quieter.
Being opposite some of the rental units. In general, the camping pitches are scattered in between the rental units which makes it less of a camping atmosphere.

A super campsite with all the facilities you could need. And brilliant being right on the beach and close to a super town with lots of grey restaurants
It’s very big so very busy but comes with the territory I guess…
Jacuzzi was fab -we all loved using it
I paid for a cabin with dune views but there weren’t any! We got moved after 4 days but was disappointed not to have been given the right cabin in the first place

We had a great time. The pool area and the sports facilities are great. Toilets are almost always clean and the private access to the beach was excellent. The animation, restaurants and the other services were also good. Special mention to the take away pizza. You should try it!!
I had wished more grass in our spot. The people did not respect the silence and every night we had people walking and talking loud near the tent passed 1am. The Spar Supermarket has really high prices for basic food. I only missed some real swimming area in the pool. It was not possible to swim.
It was near the pinpong tables and not far from the toilets and showers. The size and shadows were really good.
I would expect more grass, the ground was dusty. Being next to one of the main paths was a mistake. We sleep early and there was a lot of noise until passed 1am.

Amazing location, ideal for 2 teenage boys. The facilities kept them active all week and made lots of new friends.

Unbelievable lodge, the pool was great, ideal to cool off after the beach or cycling.

My wife Celine and I just returned from an incredible holiday here with our two small children, and we couldn't be happier with our experience. From start to finish, the campsite delivered on everything we were hoping for in a coastal getaway. Special thanks to all the amazing staff, I mean everyone from the lifeguards, pool bar, maintenance, animation, VP brewery and reception.
We moved to premium after a few days as we needec more space.
The shower kept over flowing

Great site layout, you can relax away from the action on pitch, or be in the thick of it at the front of the site and in the arena. Good selection of restaurants to on site too All With great food.
More bins onsite would be welcomed
Large pitch well presented and clearly defined hedges.
Electric point should be numbered, we had to plug in three pitches from our own pitch. Higher amperage pitches would be a huge improvement.

We where second times in this place. We love this campsite
In our white sector’s sometimes was problem with clean rate
We chooise this type of accomodation, becouse we like tents, and we also like sleep in a bed.
No comment.

Beach fantastic and lifeguards do a great job, pool kept immaculate, clean and safe for all. Site generally clean and well presented.
Pitches are not the biggest, no Motorhome point for filling up with water on the pitch or the site we had to fill our onboard tank with several trips to the washroom area and a large container. Bins are a long way away to take we had people dump their rubbish on our pitch.
Waste water access, proximity to the beach and pool all great.
Difficult to manoeuvre a motorhome onto and only just enough room for our awning between trees. No tap for water.

Everything
No cars on camp
Perfect but we had a VIP pitch

Location still is amazing, as the personell at reception and bar
Get security to speak more than 1 language. And also having a gasleak next to is which took 5 days to fix is unacceptable. Had to do the cleaning myself upon arrival
Great location and loads of room
Watercooker would be nice

Facilities excellent and ambience, but cost is prohibitive.
Good pitch and wifi strong.
Showers in evening never warm. Loos needed to be cleaner
Loading
Good location with a variety of activities. The bull show is really worth doing. Takeaway pizzas were great
The pools, however, feel cramped for the size of campsite. I gave up trying to do any sort of swimming or soaking as people everywhere
Space is ample
No mugs for tea, so had to buy our own

Family of five staying for a week. Thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, particularly the activities that were put on through the week (day time and night time), plus the location so close to the beach.
It is a big site and the pool area is unbelievably busy on hot/sunny days Putting on more sporting activities during the day as they were always over subscribed (flag rugby, table tennis, volley ball etc). The outdoor gym/exercise area is not very good.
Loved the jacuzzi which we used every day. Outside table area was also great.
Would be nice to also have sun loungers as well as the deck chairs. On site shop seemed very expensive causing us to go elsewhere for shopping.

We enjoyed the location of the campsite, the proximity to the beach was fantastic.
On arrival someone was on our pitch and they expected to stay another night! We told reception, they said they would send someone to the pitch to help - however, no one came, much to our disappointment . Instead we had to negotiate with the Spanish guy to leave our pitch. This is totally unacceptable and very unprofessional. It meant that our first taste of the campsite was very poor. We do not except this from a 5 star campsite.
Our pitch was awful, we don’t have a very large tent and our vehicle is a regular size, however it was incredibly hard to place both on the pitch due to 2 trees blocking the space.
It would have been helpful to be told that our electricity point was accessed by crawling through bushes into our neighbours plots. Again, really not the 5 star experience. We asked if we could leave 1 hour early (5am) and Reception told us “yes” so we were surprised to be confronted by a man from Security who told us that Reception shouldn’t have said yes, and that his Director would be cross. We told him that we needed to leave early and that it really should be our problem that Security and Reception clearly don’t communicate! Awful ending to our holiday.
Dear Emma, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience in detail. We’re glad you enjoyed the campground’s prime location and its immediate proximity to the beach. Upon your arrival, our front desk staff is on hand to assist guests and provide them with the best possible information based on their specific circumstances. Your comment regarding the layout of your campsite has been forwarded internally so that the relevant teams can take it into account. Our campground has nearly 400 campsites spread across more than 30 hectares of pine forest. Each plot thus has its own unique layout, featuring naturally occurring trees, vegetation, and various utility connections. The RESASOL app makes it easy to view the layout of the sites as well as the location of utility connections, allowing you to plan your setup in advance. Our RESASOL reservation service is also available before your stay to gather precise details about your tent, trailer, or RV, as well as any accessories and equipment you plan to set up. This information allows our advisors to best guide you toward a site suited to your specific setup. We have also taken your comment regarding your early morning departure into careful consideration. Very early departures are subject to specific procedures, and your feedback on the information provided by our various departments has been shared internally to ensure proper coordination. We’re glad you were able to enjoy the exceptional setting of Le Vieux Port, nestled among the Landes pine forests with prime access to the ocean. Best regards, The Le Vieux Port Campground Team

Our stay was fantastic from start to finish. The accommodation was incredible and the location of the site is unbelievable.
The safari tent was wonderful. Very spacious inside and out and had great facilities.

Facilities and information about activities were excellent.
The off site activities would have benefitted from transportation
Pitches had plenty of space and easy to park on
We were close to the toilet block and the boiler did make a loud noise.

At first this campsite looked promising. Very good slides, nice pool area, access to a beautiful beach.
The toilets when camping are filthy, they stink & you could smell them from the tent. There was a large poo in one shower for 24 hours and the sink drains were constantly blocking. 8 toilets per block was no where near enough and the smell of urine was unbelievable. Our site with a tent had sewage seeping up and touching our tent, the sewage was pooling in puddles & stank. We complained on arrival & they did nothing even though you could even see the toilet paper and smell it. We complained again after a day & they finally moved us after the sewage but put another family there the next day
Nice tree coverage
The stink from the toilets nearby, very difficult to access water supply. We paid for a site with electricity but it was a full site away and already fully in use so no space to plug in. Everything was cheap and money saving about this place. I would not recommend at all.

Fantastic location, right next to the dunes and seaside, with pine trees giving good shade on hot days. Lots of pretty villages nearby to explore by bike, and the bike rental service was excellent. Great entertainment for kids and families, and friendly staff throughout.
Restaurant food was quite basic (the pizza was the exception — excellent), and the on-site supermarket frequently ran out of essentials like eggs and yoghurt. Public toilets in common areas need updating and much more frequent cleaning.
The Premium lodge was quiet and lovely, and the jacuzzi was a real highlight — worth the peak-season price. Good space for the family and comfortable setup overall.
No duvet covers or mugs were provided, and the lodge wasn’t properly cleaned before our arrival — we found lots of hair left behind from previous renters.

The facilities, pool, slides, arcade and children’s entertainment.
The accommodation is not worth almost 5,000 euros. No aircon control in the main unit, no kettle, sanitary bin was still full from previous tenants. But the worst part was the noise. Every single night of our stay between 12am and 3am there was shouting and singing from gangs of youths going up and down the track to the beach. I complained at reception and called security during the night but it never stopped. For this reason we won’t ever return to this campsite. To pay so much money and spend a week of our vacation time utterly exhausted was devastating
Good amount of space
Noise
