The Basque Country: strong traditions and powerful waves

Further south, Atlantic camping takes on a more authentic and cultural flavour in the Basque Country. Here, the ocean meets the mountains in a stunning setting – perfect for combining surfing, hiking and local gastronomy.

Basque beaches are renowned not only for their surfing spots, but also for their unique atmosphere. During the day, ride the waves; in the evening, wander the lively streets of coastal villages. The Basque Country’s cultural richness adds real depth to your seaside holiday – a beautiful mix of tradition and modernity.

Make the most of your Atlantic camping holiday to explore iconic beaches in Bidart, the breathtaking views of the Basque Corniche, or the bustling markets in Biarritz.
