Lovely people, great location

The reception was friendly and helpful, and the people working in the snack bar were absolutely lovely - and very hard working! It's possible to order bread and croissants for the morning. Food in the snack bar is simple but really good.
Watching the sunsets sitting on the edge of the dune at the edge... of the site is a highlight. The pitches for tents and campervans (we were in a van) are quite wide but pretty close together back-to-back and so it's best to get one at the edge of that non-cabin part of the site if you can (we had a tent behind us and although they were quite considerate, they did like to watch action movies at 3am - albeit at low volume). Most of the site is given over to cabins - but it doesn't at all feel like "cabin city," as some more commercial ones do. There is some criticism of the facilities in other reviews, but we found them absolutely fine - clean and well-maintained.
The pool is fabulous and not at all busy in our experience (our stay was partly in high season). There were some children around but the site has a more adult feel than most, even during school holidays. Surfers and retired people account for most clients I imagine.
It's easy to walk or cycle to Soulac-sur-mer in one direction and Amelie in the other - where the wonderful restaurant L'etoile de Mer is not to be missed. There is a little shop there (Vival) with excellent bread and pastries, and a Lidl is in walking distance too - in the direction of Soulac.
Just up the road there is a fabulous beach bar - it's quite an experience to go there for a seafood selection and wine while the sun goes down.
We liked the spot so much we extended our stay twice, and we will certainly be back again.
