Be aware that after rainfall or during humid seasons some camping sites and the access paths located behind the dunes are flooded by water gathering/surfacing in the lower terrain. If not covered by pools of water, the sand is very wet and not practical/comfortable for camping.

Nice spot, good nature. Not really shady, but beautiful in the dunes

It was too far from the beach with lots of bugs

Our experience was fantastic. We went in early May and saw lots of wild ponies (including newborn foals!) and birds. We highly recommend this campground

Bring your bikes, I’ll definitely leave the dog home next time so we can explore more!
