Camping Sen-Yan: a 14,000 m² natural haven in Mézos

Set in Mézos in the Landes, 5-star Camping Sen-Yan stretches over 14,000 m² of protected nature at the heart of the Landes forest. Its landscape signature is unique in France: 1,000 banana trees, 2,000 tropical plants, palm trees, bougainvillea and cycads make up an exotic ecosystem that coexists with the traditional maritime pines.

The estate offers 500 shaded pitches for tents, caravans and motorhomes, as well as 9 models of air-conditioned mobile homes with Caribbean names (Bahamas, Cococay, O’Hara, Paradise, Louisiane, Carayou, Caraïbe, Carbet, Ipanéma). The Landes pines naturally filter the light to preserve coolness even in high summer.

Labelled Airotel, Camping Sen-Yan cultivates a rare balance between biodiversity and amenities in Nouvelle-Aquitaine. The Courlis river flows 500 m from the campsite, and the Landes forest is home to pines, cork oaks, ferns and protected wildlife.
