Camping Farm Diriart

Welcome to Camping Farm Diriart, a charming farm campsite in Suhescun that brings you the authentic spirit of the Basque countryside, just a short distance from Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port. Run by friendly hosts Dominique and Maïder, this peaceful natural camping area spans approximately 2 hectares on the banks of a tranquil river, giving guests panoramic views of rolling hills and the surrounding mountain foothills.

With 25 well-spaced pitches set on grassy, semi-shaded terrain, Camping Farm Diriart is a perfect destination for those who want to relax in nature, enjoy tent camping, caravan stays, or motorhome visits, and experience the rhythms of farm life. Facilities are simple yet comfortable: a complete sanitary block offers hot showers, toilets, washbasins, and a laundry area with washing machine so you can freshen up after a day outdoors.

Electricity hookups and water connections are available at selected pitches for a small additional fee. On site, you’ll also find a boules court (petanque), spacious open fields for kids to play, and direct river access for peaceful riverside moments — ideal for families, couples, or solo travellers seeking a relaxed camping experience.

A highlight of your stay is the chance to visit the working farm where Dominique and Maïder raise dairy cattle and sheep. Guests can learn about traditional farming life, meet the animals, and even purchase farm products like vacuum-packed meat and homemade goods directly from the source.

Camping Farm Diriart proudly carries the “Bienvenue à la Ferme” label, a mark of genuine farm hospitality and quality. Whether you’re here to unwind by the riverside, explore the Basque countryside, or share genuine encounters with farm life, this campsite offers a welcoming base for your adventure.

Situated in the heart of the Basque region of Nouvelle-Aquitaine, Camping Farm Diriart offers easy access to some of the area’s most beloved landscapes and cultural sites. Just about 15 minutes by car from Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port, this iconic medieval town is a must-visit for history lovers — its ancient citadel, cobbled streets, and artisanal shops make for a delightful day trip.

From here, you’re also close to the Spanish border and traditional “ventas” (roadside inns), where you can enjoy local cuisine and cross-border markets within a short drive. The famous village of Espelette, known for its vibrant red chili peppers, is easily reachable and offers a colorful taste of Basque gastronomy.

Nature enthusiasts will appreciate the abundance of outdoor activities around the campsite. The dramatic Pyrenean foothills around Suhescun invite hikers, cyclists, and wildlife watchers to explore trails that crisscross the region. Whitewater sports and river adventures are available nearby, and scenic routes lead to vineyards, mountain retreats, and breathtaking viewpoints.

For those seeking a touch of coastal adventure, the stunning Basque beaches of Bayonne, Anglet, and Biarritz lie approximately 45 minutes away, where golden sands meet the Atlantic Ocean. From swimming and surfing to seaside walks and sunsets over the sea, this coastline rounds out an unforgettable mix of mountain views and ocean breeze.
