Campervan hire in Bordeaux

The campervan — VW California, Mercedes Marco Polo, Ford Transit Nugget — is the ultimate freedom format in Bordeaux: it drives like a large car, parks in town, yet hides a bed, a kitchenette and often a pop-top roof. It is the most contested segment of the market, split between private owners and professional fleets — the one where comparing platforms pays most.

By campervan out of Bordeaux: routes and stopovers

Bordeaux gives you three very different playgrounds within ninety minutes. Head west on the A660 and you reach the Arcachon basin and the Dune du Pilat in an hour, with Cap Ferret via the D106 along the lagoon. Northwards, the Route des Châteaux (D2) threads through the Médoc vineyards past Margaux and Pauillac all the way to Pointe de Grave. Behind the pine forest, the big lakes of Lacanau, Carcans-Hourtin and Sanguinet make quieter overnight stops than the ocean beaches.

Along the Gironde coast, overnight parking is banned by municipal bylaw in most resorts and many beach car parks have 2-metre height barriers: aim for the municipal motorhome aires and the lakeside campsites instead — plentiful, and rarely full outside July and August. Wild camping is off-limits on the coast. In summer, get to the Dune du Pilat before 9 am, as the car park fills fast; in September, harvest season in the Médoc and the France Passion farm network make memorable stopovers.
