A Motorhome Area in the Basque Country
At the 4-star Erreka Camping in Bidart, you’ll find several 80 m² pitches designed for caravans and motorhomes. All of these plots are connected to the campsite’s electric network. They offer a private space where you can enjoy your stay in comfort. The motorhome area is also a practical vacation option for several reasons. Firstly, it can accommodate up to six people. Moreover, visitors have access to all the campsite’s facilities and activities. Guests are free to come and go as they please—whether to surf at the Basque Coast’s best spots or to explore the architectural and cultural treasures of some of the “Most Beautiful Villages of France” nestled in the Basque heartland.
Motorhome Parking in the Heart of the Basque Country
Traveling by motorhome means planning to explore multiple destinations. Therefore, a motorhome area is not just a place to stay, but also a starting point for excursions along the coast and into inland Basque Country. From your campsite in Bidart, you can, for example, take the coastal trail leading to Hendaye, passing through some of the region’s most stunning locations. Saint-Jean-de-Luz, just 17 minutes by car from Bidart via the D810, is a must-visit destination. This seaside town is particularly loved for its beautiful beaches. Lafitenia Beach, located on Chemin de Lafitenia near the Acotz district, is one of the best surfing spots on the Basque Coast and a favorite for experienced surfers. Senix Beach, on the other hand, is suitable for all skill levels. Mayarco Beach also attracts water sports enthusiasts but is especially popular with families with children.
Another essential stop before Hendaye is Urrugne, known for its exceptional natural heritage. Visitors are often charmed by the Basque Corniche, the Belharra wave, and the Xoldokogaina Lake. The town also boasts historic gems like Saint Vincent’s Church, Mount Calvary, and Socorri Chapel. The Basque House and Urtubie Castle are also worth visiting, along with the renowned Camino de Santiago. Finally, Hendaye awaits as the gateway to Spain, with its breathtaking beaches, including Grande Plage and Deux Jumeaux Beach. The town also offers historical landmarks such as the Abbadia Observatory Castle, Chingoudy Bay, and Pheasant Island.
