Camping Sandaya l’Orée du Bois

Alan Rogers Review

L’Orée du Bois has about 400 pitches of about 100 sq.m. in a very spacious, pinewood setting. There are 110 for touring units, mainly scattered amongst the permanent chalets and tents. They include 40 large pitches with individual sanitary facilities (in blocks of four with shower, toilet, washbasin and dishwashing sink). Pitches are on flat, fairly sandy ground, separated by trees, shrubs and hedges and all have electrical connections (6A, some Europlugs). The forest pines offer some shade. This is a family site with an excellent aqua park amongst the amenities as well as a splendid children’s playground.

The site is lively in high season when it can be noisy but it is tranquil in low season. Sandy beaches (with lifeguards in season) are fairly near, plus opportunities for walking, riding or cycling in the 10,000-hectare Forêt de la Coubre. The site is used by several tour operators.
