Camping Sen-Yan: on the shores of the lagoon and 12 minutes from the Atlantic Ocean

The 5-star Camping Sen-Yan in Mézos, in the Landes, combines two assets few establishments offer: a private artificial lagoon at the heart of the estate, and immediate proximity to the Atlantic coast (12 minutes by car from the beaches of Mimizan and Contis).

At the edge of the estate, the small Courlis river flows through the forest 500 m away.
