Camping le Ruisseau des Pyrénées

Camping le Ruisseau is a well-equipped family-run site in the Basque country at the heart of the Pyrénées, and well located for exploring the region’s beaches. Emplacements are set in shady oakland and the site boasts its own lake, which is ideal for a quiet spot of carp fishing.

The fantastic pool complex incorporates water slides, a jacuzzi, sauna and an expansive sun terrace. There’s plenty to occupy sports fans with tennis courts and bike hire while young children will love the excellent play area and trampolines. Evening entertainment is laid on during the height of the summer in the popular lively bar and on the terrace. The site lies close to a motorway but traffic noise is minimal.

There is a Canvas Holidays courier on site. There are no Tuesday arrivals.
