Camping Merko Lacarra

This site is like a little peace of heaven. Verdant, grassy unspoilt pitches with fantastic flowers and trees. Beautifully maintained with extremely welcoming staff and owners. It is right next to the beach which was also very quiet and relaxed. I hope to go back!

There is no hand soap in the toilet area, which means you need to carry your own. Wall soap dispensers would be a huge improvement. As with many French sites there were also no toilet seats. If this was rectified the site would be perfect!

Such a great welcome. Information about the area- spoke excellent English. Great facilities- and the site was so well managed- pretty borders. Good to see people working on the site during the day and always with a smile. We felt part of the campsite during our stay. We were welcomed to play boules with some regular French clients- such a great experience!

Would love to have soap in the wash areas.

We were able to locate the campsite with ease. The cabin was spotless and perfectly suited our needs. The communal showers and WC were very clean and the campsite had a lovely feel about it, and was very well kept. Thank you family Merko. Our stay was perfect 🤩

I seriously cannot think of any 👍

Super clean, perfect setting. Kind staff and owners. Best camping in Saint Jean de Luz.

Spent a week in August at this lovely family run site. Located beside the sea with a choice of beaches, and bars and restaurants within 1-5 minutes walk. We brought our own caravan and large awning and we're delighted with our pitch which was located in a quiet corner. The family and staff are very kind and friendly. We enjoyed many relaxed breakfasts and coffees in the cafe. The facilities were kept very clean. I highly recommend it. We really enjoyed the open air cinemae evening. Thank you Camping Merko Lecarra for a wonderful stay.

Beautiful, clean camping with practical layout. Close vicinity (5 min walking distance) to the beaches, restaurants, bars, surfing school and bus stop. Silence at night - you hear only ocean. Top notch customer experience, very friendly and supportive staff (even though my french is poor at best :-)). You can order fresh bread and croissants each day. On-camping events - we especially liked live concert of small band. All in all, wonderful vacation. Two thumbs up, way up!!!

This is our 3rd time here. The site is a family owned site and it shows. The owners and the team here are full of pride about the site and quite rightly so. The team here can never do enough to help. Gardens are immaculate , pitches very well cared for and will accommodate almost all tenants and caravans. Some do slope a little but this has never bothers us and we are in a tent. Toilet block is almost new and is very clean and tidy. We have camped for many years and it is difficult to fault this site. Always a great experience and we will look forward to returning in 2025.

Given the location it is very popular with surfers. I wonder if it would be possible to have a mop/ squeegee in the shower block . There can be a bit of sand around at the popular times of day.

The people who run the site are warm, welcoming and helpful. The site is spotlessly clean and located next to the beach and several bars/restaurants. The bus to SJDL is just outside and takes 30 minutes. SJDL is delightful. There is a snack bar on site which serves great snacks and you can also order pastries for the following morning. The site is peaceful; at night it is very quiet which may not suit everyone but we loved it. There is a laundry with 1 washing machine and 1 dryer; it can get quite busy but the dry and washer are both efficient.

The campsite is perfect. Quiet and incredibly clean. Owned by a very friendly family, nothing is too much for them.

Don’t change a thing

Very friendly staff on checkin and everything explained clearly, good size pitch and well maintained, toilets, showers and washing up area immaculate and cleaned on a regular basis. Nice little snack on site and bread ordered daily, fabulous location literally 3 minutes from 2 beaches and small beach bars on both offering food and drinks. This really is a very good campsite and staff are visible daily doing maintenance and cleaning….well worth a visit if you’re in the area or make it a part of your travel plans, you won’t be disappointed

Campsite is ideally situated next to the beach. The lane down to the beach can get quite busy but as soon as you step into the campsite, all is very peaceful, green & quiet! The family who own the campsite are so friendly & always available should you have any queries/or just to say hello. Daily Pastries & bread can be ordered which was great. The beach 5min walk is great for swimming/surfing. We enjoyed a surf lesson (bookable just over road from campsite) & nice meals at one of the beachside bars. On Coastal path to St Jean de Luz (& bus route). Small grocery shop 10mins walk up road.

Excellent customer service and a lovely family who made us feel very welcome throughout our stay .Well maintained in all areas of the campsite and onsite Café for some nice treats.2 mins away stunning beaches and coastal walks along with plenty of restaurants ??

This is the second time we have stayed. This is fast becoming one of our favourite sites. What makes this site that much more special is the family and colleagues who run the site It is kept in immaculate condition and the attention to detail is second to none Whilst it may not have some of the facilities of some larger sites such as a pool there are bars and two superb beaches within 5 mins walk During the evening there is a security guard on the gate which is the only way in and out of the site. This gives an added reassurance. Again fabulous site run by a fabulous team.

Un camping calme, très bien entretenu. Un accueil des plus chaleureux. Un mobil home très propre avec tout le confort nécessaire. 2 plages à quelques minutes à pieds où l'on a pu admirer de magnifiques couchers de soleil. Nous sommes enchantés par notre séjour, nous y reviendrons !

schöner Platz, ruhiger Campingplatz. Freundliches Personal und Serice. Die Bar nebenan war zwischendurch leider etwas laut.

Le camping est très bien placé, l'océan est à 2 min à pied . Il est très calme, le personnel est très agréable.

Pour moi, il manquait des brosses à toilettes, car quand tout le monde va dedans, il y a souvent des traces (même si les toilettes sont régulièrement nettoyer par le personnel !) Je sais que dans certaines cultures, nettoyer après son passage ne se fait pas mais pour certaines personnes, c'est plus agréable.

Wir wurden sehr herzlich empfangen und umsorgt. Die Gastgeber sind immer sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Der Platz ist sehr schön angelegt, grün und ruhig und hat eine sehr gute Lage. Die Schräge des Stellplatzes konnten wir durch unsere Hilfsmittel gut ausgleichen.

La proximité de belles plages, blocs sanitaires propres, fonctionnels et bien aménagés. Possibilité de frites le midi est excellente.

Nous avons trouvé que le séjour dans sa totalité était un peu cher pour du camping ... Même si les prix pratiqués sont équivalents à ceux des alentours.
