Top 6 of the best seaside campsites in Brittany

Between tradition and modernity, Brittany is one of the few regions in France where the daily lives of its inhabitants are still closely linked to the environment. It is often said to be the perfect duality of maritime and terrestrial landscapes, with 30,000 km of waterways and 2,730 km of coastline. It alone accounts for a third of France’s coastline. So it’s the ideal region if you want to camp by the sea, not far from the trees and forests of Brittany!

In this article, you’ll find 8 campsites in four very different regions of Brittany.

Which are the best campsites by the sea?

Finistère

1. Campsite La Roche Percée

Situated right between Fouesnant and Beg Meil, around 400 metres from Kerveltrec beach, La Roche Percée campsite offers you the chance to discover the secrets of this part of Finistère.

If you’re travelling with the family, the campsite is perfectly suited to all ages, with a heated water park, heated outdoor and indoor pools, slides, games, activities, children’s club, wifi at an additional cost, bike rides… As for accommodation, the campsite is well suited to all types of demand. If you’re visiting Finistère as a family, the 3-bedroom mobile homes for 6 people, including a terrace, will allow you to live together easily and comfortably. With friends, if there are around 5 of you, we recommend a 2-bedroom mobile home, with or without a terrace, the choice is yours. As a couple, a one-bedroom mobile home with terrace will be more than sufficient.

As a bonus, in addition to all the activities on offer at the campsite, we recommend that you organise a beach day at Kerveltrec. All you have to do is follow the small tarmac road out of the campsite, and the beach is surrounded by small coves. Depending on your needs, you can organise a picnic, sunbathe, swim or hire a kayak to explore the area directly on the water. The good life!

Stars: 4 stars

A little extra: the campsite allows you to visit the Fouesnant region, a land of sailors.

2. Camping de la mer d’Iroise

Have you always dreamed of living in a house just a few metres from the seaside? For a few nights, your dream will come true, because the Mer d’Iroise campsite is just 200 metres from the beach! One of the advantages of this campsite is that it’s close to the Crozon peninsula, Quimper, the Nantes-Brest canal and Douarnenez. So you won’t necessarily be at the campsite every day, even though the leisure facilities are fabulous: playgrounds galore, family activities, a multi-sports area, piki club, bowling green, indoor and outdoor swimming pools with slides.

The 11 km of coastline is dotted with fine sandy beaches, sea caves and rocky coves, offering a wide variety of landscapes. The campsite is ideally located for those wishing to explore. In terms of accommodation: chalets, mobile homes, small caravans… the choice is yours!

The Sea Green Emerald lives up to its name. A small precious stone, it is just one kilometre from the beach. The campsite also holds all the cards to provide you with all the services and facilities you need: laundry; wifi; restaurant; bar.

At the end of the day, after your meal, you can enjoy a game of table football or table tennis. As for the children, we know they love to let off steam, so there’s a play area, a paddling pool and a waterslide for them to enjoy. The mobile homes can accommodate up to 9 people, while the chalets can sleep up to 5, making the site particularly popular with families or group travellers.

Situated close to nature, it’s a good place to come to refocus on yourself. The beach is also ideal for surfing, sailing, pedal-boating, diving… If you’re not really a fan of sea salt and sand, you might be tempted by the indoor heated swimming pool or jacuzzi.
