Offers lively entertainment and facilities for the whole family, with an enviable position in the Les Landes forest.

Camping Sylvamar is part of the Yelloh! Village chain of parcs. The excellent facilities, located away from our accommodation, include a lagoon style waterpark complete with waterslides and lazy river, overlooked by the modern restaurant and bar terrace. It is just a fifteen minute walk or cycle to the fine sandy beaches of this area, and watersports facilities are widely available. Whilst there is plenty to do at this well maintained parc, the Les Landes forest is perfect for cyclists. Parc rules are strictly enforced for the benefit and comfort of all guests. The parc is building a new indoor children’s pool and spa, sauna and wellness centre for 2010, some new facilities are chargable.
