List of campsites in Brittany
Brittany boasts the highest number of campsites of any region in France, and
of course the highest number of people taking camping holidays. No matter what
your preference in holiday entertainment or activities, a camping holiday in
Brittany is sure to provide what you are looking for.
The region is best known for its coastline, which is always spectacular. The
granite cliffs of the North and far West coasts are interspersed with delightful
sandy coves with abundant rock pools and great coastal walks. The extreme
Western district of Finistere is wild and open with grand views and less
populous.
The South coast is softer, with golden sandy beaches offering safe
swimming, cut by many tidal estuaries up which you can explore by foot or kayak.
Everywhere there are small coastal towns and villages, offering cafés, bars and
plenty of shops. The beauty of these villages nestling amongst the greenery has
attracted many artists, and a visit to view the art on show in the pretty
village of Pont Aven is well worth the trip.
But it's not just the coast which makes Brittany so special. The central
hills are deeply cut by steep river valleys and are great places to spend some
time deep in thought on the banks of a rushing stream. Brittany's Celtic past is
everywhere, with great menhirs and stone circles scattered throughout the land.
The most famous is the enormous stone circle at Carnac.
Brittany has a few
larger towns, notably Quimper with its historic cathedral and old town, Vannes
on the south coast with an excellent aquarium, the walled citadel of St Malo,
and the capital, Rennes, a lively university city.
Brittany is very easy to reach especially if you take one of the
Brittany Ferries crossings. Or if you prefer another departure port check

ferry crossings, including Eurotunnel, here. Check the route on our
