Camping in Brittany

This campsite has so much to offer. From French lessons and bikes for rent, to an on-site grocery shop and traditional Breton dance classes, you are spoiled for choice. Of course, you can also set up on the white sands of the nearby beaches and soak up the atmosphere. This site is nestled between the l’aber-Wrach and l’aber-Benoît on the Sainte-Marguerite Peninsula meaning undulating dunes and various islands available to visit at low tide.

Sitting on a small and quiet peninsula between two sandy beaches of the port of La Trinité sur Mer and Carnac Plage, Camping de la Baie is in the middle of the bay of Quiberon in the South of Brittany. It’s a little slice of paradise, with a variety of pitches, plus activities like kayaking and walking tours when you tire of the beach (but how could you?).

Offering gorgeous views of the Emerald Coast and close to one of Brittany’s best-loved hidden gems, Dinan, this unique campsite has an 18th Century fort at its centre. You can walk to the bay of Saint-Malo or stay onsite and take part in activities from bike rental to swimming in the pool.

Family-friendly campsites don’t get much better. The pool complex and beautiful natural surroundings are always a huge hit with little ones who love to play and keep busy. You can take a horse-riding lesson on the beach here, or take a trip to a nearby town like Piriac Sur Mer for a glimpse at traditional French life.

The clue is in the name – this is a very relaxing campsite. Close to Vaux Beach and only half and hour’s drive to Dinard, spend your days soaking up the sun or meandering cobbled streets of one of Brittany’s most-treasured villages. Back at camp, enjoy table tennis, shuffleboard, or a traditional French game of Pétanque.

A must for water babies of all ages, Camping de L'Île Percée overlooks Trénez Beach in Moëlan-sur-Mer, meaning a dip in the sea (weather permitting) is easy. There is no swimming pool on this site, but plenty to offer hikers and bicycle fanatics; follow paths that lead from the camp site to Kerfany-les-Pins with picturesque houses, or the charming little ports of Doëlan and Belon.

Offering luxury mobile homes and glamping safari tents (particularly beautiful wooden structures), this is the perfect place to balance camping and luxury. Onsite there are pools and sporting grounds to keep you busy before you sink back into a comfy bed under the stars. Quimperlé is a lovely little Breton town, just 10 kilometres from the campsite, featuring a 13th Century Gothic church and some excellent bars and cafes if you fancy a day trip.

Set just a little way back from the beach (you can cycle in under 5 minutes), this is a beautiful campsite to spend your next Brittany break in. Local cuisine is at its finest in the onsite restaurant and accommodation and some of the mobile homes offer hot tubs for an added touch of class. There’s a mini zoo and disco to entertain you as well as beautiful scenery.

Heated pools, a nearby beach, and Coco Sweet tents (beautiful rustic tents with a twist) makes this a luxe campsite you should definitely visit in Brittany. When you’re finished with the pool, sports facilities and want to head to the beach, there’s a shuttle available for a small fee to get you there. Nearby attractions include the former pirate stronghold of Saint Malo.

This campsite is just 1km from the centre of the small town of Bannalec, which has a few small shops, bars, and cafes. Be sure to sample local dishes as much as you can in Brittany, it’s a gastronomic haven! Bannalec is surrounded by green countryside with woods and rivers. The area is also famous for its many chapels, delighting lovers of both history and architecture. On site you can relax in peace as this is a quieter site set against the backdrop of riverbanks and fields.

This lakeside campsite lies in the sprawling grounds of a classic 19th Century Breton château, 4km outside the pretty commune of Pontchâteau. It’s also in the heart of the Brière national park, so you can explore 154 acres of marshland lakes and islets. Pick a glamping spot or bring your own caravan or tent – the luxury element here is the surroundings.
