Family Surf Camp Biscarrosse, France - OUTER REEF SURF TRAVEL

France

The Surf Camp

Camp among the pines, and the beach is a five-minute stroll from your veranda. Our family surf camp sits on a 4-star campsite tucked behind the dunes of Biscarrosse-Plage, on France's Atlantic coast in the Landes, just 600 metres from a long, sandy beach break that's perfect for learning to surf, whatever your age.

It's the best of both worlds: the freedom of camping under towering pine trees, with the comfort of stylish glamping lodges, a pool, playground and giant trampoline right on site.

Surf courses run for the whole family, from six-year-olds taking their first lesson to parents chasing bigger waves, with qualified instructors making sure nobody's overwhelmed or bored.

Check dates & prices

Our Biscarrosse package is built around full board (breakfast, packed lunch, a midday snack and dinner) plus five days of children’s entertainment, five yoga sessions and a weekly wine and cheese evening for the grown-ups. The camp itself is a small one, just 21 lodges tucked into the pine forest, with an outdoor gym, giant trampoline and lounge area where parents can relax while the kids play within sight. Biscarrosse is only around an hour from Bordeaux’s train station and airport, making this an easy family getaway with lakes, dunes and beach all within reach.

Your Package Includes

Accommodation

Every stay is in a stylish camping lodge or mobile home, each with its own kitchen or kitchenette, bathroom and veranda, spread across a small, family-run camp of just 21 accommodations.

Meals

Breakfast is a generous buffet each morning (eggs, cheese, cold cuts, fresh fruit, croissants and muesli), with the chance to pack a lunch to take to the beach.

A lunch buffet is also available back at camp, and dinner is included every evening, with a vegan option always available on request. Once a week, the grown-ups get their own wine and cheese evening while the kids join the entertainment programme.

Surf Lessons

Adults & Teens (11+): Biscarrosse-Plage is a top beach break for learning to surf, with waves for total beginners and more experienced surfers alike. Choose the Surf Course M (10 hours) or Surf Course L (13 hours), both mixing water time with beach coaching and surf theory, taught in small groups of up to eight per instructor.

Kids (6–10): Our youngest surfers get their own courses, with a smaller 1:6 instructor ratio for extra attention. The Kids Surf Course S (6 hours) is the perfect taster, and can be upgraded on-site to the Kids Surf Course M (10 hours). Both run alongside the adult courses, so the whole family can surf together.

Surf Equipment

Boards and wetsuits are provided throughout every course, using gear from Quiksilver, Roxy and ST Comp.

Camp Activities

Beyond the beach, there's a giant trampoline, an outdoor gym, and a craft and games corner right next to the lounge. The campsite itself adds a large pool area, multi-sport courts for basketball, football and beach volleyball, a playground with bouncy castles and floodlit boules courts, plenty to keep the whole family busy between surf sessions.

Available on Request
