What is a mobile home in a residential campsite?

Contrary to what you might think, a mobile home is considered to be movable property, not real estate. Moveable at will, this mobile leisure residence can be towed on its chassis and four wheels. Height-adjustable pilings give you the freedom to stabilize your mobile home wherever you like.

More spacious than a caravan, the surface area of this type of light leisure dwelling must not exceed 40 m². When you become the owner of a mobile home in a residential campsite open all year round, a plot is sold to you so that you can park it safely.
This plot allows connection to the various infrastructures: water, electricity, gas.

For example, opt for a star-rated nature campsite in the Landes region, offering top-quality facilities: water park with slides, heated swimming pool, kids’ and teens’ club, restaurant, snack bar, grocery store, Wi-Fi, numerous amenities, services and entertainment.

It is also impossible to resell it within this period.

As passionate about the environment and respectful of people, we include each of our actions in an approach based on the three pillars of sustainable development: ecology, social responsibility and economic viability.

As soon as we took over the campsite, we implemented a strategy of “step-by-step progress”, aimed at achieving our environmental objectives over the long term. This translates into concrete actions such as reducing our energy footprint, careful water management, waste minimization, and support for local producers. These commitments are framed by charters, notably that of Sustainable Tourism, which guide our day-to-day decisions.

Sustainable Tourism Charter

  • We are certified “Tourisme Durable” by the communauté de communes de la Vallée du Kiwi. This certification commits us to respecting an eco-responsible grid that frames our actions in favor of the environment.

Water savings

Preserving this precious resource is at the heart of our approach. To this end, we have installed water-saving devices on all our taps and regularly read our meters to detect any leaks. We also encourage our guests to inform us of any malfunctions so that we can take prompt action.

Waste sorting

  • A central collection point is available just outside the campsite to facilitate waste sorting.
  • We have also installed a container for bio-waste, helping to reduce non-recycled waste.

Promoting local and organic products

At the reception grocery store, you’ll find products from local producers located less than 30 km away. What’s more, our restaurant menu features vegetarian dishes and local produce to highlight the richness of our terroir.

And much, much more!
