Wild nature, picturesque fishing villages and sun-drenched dream beaches await you when camping in Brittany: the region in north-west France is known for its rugged natural beauty and has the longest coastline of the French départements at around 2,500 kilometres - the perfect place for camping by the sea. At PinCAMP you will find the most beautiful campsites.
In the wild and romantic coastal landscapes of Brittany, there are countless campsites and holiday villages in beautiful surroundings. The following campsites receive many good reviews from other campers and are among the most popular holiday resorts in Brittany.
In a great location on a peninsula directly on the Atlantic coast, Camping Port l'Épine in the north of Brittany is one of the most beautiful campsites in France. The pitches in the front row by the sea are particularly popular and sought-after. You can also stay in well-equipped mobile homes and chalets. There are numerous water sports on site and the long beach is the perfect place to relax.
The Eden Villages Cap de Bréhat holiday village offers fantastic views over the bay of Anse de Paimpol and the offshore islands. The pitches on grassy grounds are located directly by the sea. Furnished tents, bivouac tents and mobile homes are also available for hire. Adventurous campers spend their holidays in the unusual tree house and enjoy a unique panoramic view over the bay.
Great park-like holiday resort in the bay of Morlaix in Finistère and the perfect campsite for families thanks to a huge range of leisure activities. The site has direct access to the beach and a large water park with giant slides, whirlpools and an indoor pool. The pitches on grassy areas offer beautiful views of the sea. The rental accommodation and mobile homes in a garden-like setting are also very popular.
A campsite close to nature in beautiful surroundings on the Crozon peninsula in the heart of Finistère. Many of the spacious pitches offer panoramic views of the bay of Douarnenez and the beautiful long sandy beach of Trez Bellec. There is a heated swimming pool on the site. There are also children's play areas, sports facilities and a bike hire centre. The campsite offers guided walks in the surrounding area.
This cosy and popular campsite in a chateau park in south Finistère is located directly on the shore of an estuary. The beaches are just a short walk from the site and there are pitches for campers right by the water. Those who want a little more luxury can stay in the well-equipped mobile homes and chalets. Highlights of the campsite include the 2000 m2 adventure pool with water slides, covered swimming pools and aquaparks.
Many campsites in Brittany are located directly on the Atlantic coast or close to the coast - ideal conditions for a camping holiday by the beach. There is a wide range of holiday facilities on offer, from simple, natural pitches for motorhomes to well-equipped facilities with their own playgrounds and childcare facilities to luxury campsites.
The quality of the pitches and sanitary facilities is generally good. The pitches have electricity and water connections and often offer wonderful views of the Atlantic coast. Many campsites also have their own private beach. There are also often swimming pools on the holiday sites. As the weather in Brittany is very unpredictable, it can always be windy. It is therefore advisable to bring storm pegs for your tent or awning.
In addition to pitches for caravans and motorhomes, most campsites also offer rental accommodation. This includes mobile homes, chalets or holiday flats. The rental accommodation is usually fully equipped and offers space for the whole family. Camping in Brittany is therefore also suitable for families without a motorhome. In the high season, many campsites offer children's entertainment and other leisure activities. Due to the proximity to the sea, there are also water sports facilities such as surfing and kayak hire. Many campsites offer multi-sports pitches and beach volleyball courts.
Free camping on the Atlantic coast is very popular with many campers, but is not officially permitted. If you don't want to spend your entire holiday on a single campsite, you can still combine your stay in Brittany with a little adventure. There are numerous designated motorhome pitches along the coast, many of which are even free of charge. You can also stay overnight in a number of car parks. In general, you should always make sure that you only park where there is no prohibition sign.
Dogs are welcome at many campsites in Brittany. So your four-legged companion doesn't have to stay at home during your camping holiday on the French Atlantic coast. However, please note that you will need a valid EU pet passport for your dog to enter the country. The dog must also be microchipped and vaccinated against rabies. Dogs must generally be kept on a lead on the beaches. However, there are no standardised regulations. If you want to take your dog to the beach in Brittany, you should therefore find out in advance. There are dog beaches almost everywhere in Brittany. In the popular holiday region of Finistère, for example, there are designated beach areas for four-legged friends in Plogoff, Saint Pol de Léon, Locquirec and Roscoff.
Brittany has something for everyone. Nature lovers will get their money's worth with the wild and romantic coastal landscapes. Those interested in history will not only come across traces of Roman antiquity in the home of Asterix and Obelix. In the megalithic fields and menhirs of Brittany, you can embark on a journey through the last millennia of human history. Cities such as Rennes, Vannes and Saint-Malo are also worth a visit. Here, Brittany shows itself from a different side. Medieval half-timbered houses often characterise the townscape, for example in Quimper.
Finistère is the outermost tip of north-west Brittany and one of the most popular regions for campers. Finistère offers a wonderful mix of great beaches, rugged coastlines and wild cliffs, for example at the Pointe du Raz. The treeless island of Ouessant off the coast and the Crozon peninsula are also wonderful excursion destinations. Here you will find countless hidden bays, kilometres of beaches and wonderful hiking trails.
Rennes is the capital of Brittany and is located inland. Numerous museums such as the Musée des Beaux Arts and Les Champs Libres - Brittany Museum, library and science centre in one - make Rennes particularly interesting for culture enthusiasts. There is also a theatre, a choreographic centre, an opera house and the Brittany Orchestra. There is also a wide range of cultural activities on offer in the individual city districts.
Surrounded by a high granite city wall, the city of Saint-Malo looks out over the sea. The harbour town used to be a stronghold of privateers. Today, the fortifications and the medieval old town centre make it a real tourist attraction. The three islands off the city, Grand Bé, Petit Bé and Fort National, are tidal islands. At low tide, you can reach them on foot from the mainland. The city's architecture is also worth seeing. The famous cathedral is no exception. In the hustle and bustle of the city, the sacred building, built in a mix of Gothic and Romanesque styles, is a place of tranquillity.
As Brittany is a coastal region, fish and seafood are among the typical dishes. You should try oysters and mussels in particular. You will rarely find them this fresh anywhere else. This also applies to the fish, which is auctioned off immediately after being caught and then prepared straight away. Sea bream, monkfish or sea bass are served with freshly prepared vegetables and accompanied by cider, the regional drink of Brittany, made from fermented apple cider. In terms of flavour, it not only goes well with fish dishes, but also with cheese or galettes. These savoury crêpes made from buckwheat flour were originally created by Breton farmers and are now an integral part of the region's diet.
The best time to travel to Brittany for camping by the sea and a beach holiday is between July and August. This is also the high season. You should therefore book campsites in advance during this period. The months of September and October are particularly suitable for surfers and surfers. The best time to visit Brittany for hiking and cycling is from April to mid-June. Even in the height of summer, the water temperature often does not rise above 16 °C, making swimming a truly refreshing experience. In general, you should be prepared for different weather conditions when camping in Brittany. Although the oceanic climate brings mild temperatures, it also causes rapid changes between high and low pressure areas. The latter can sometimes bring strong winds that appear suddenly and bring rain showers with them. However, they are usually short-lived. In return, the rapid changes in weather create very special light moods.
Pont-Aven: The beauty of this literally picturesque harbour town was captured on canvas by artists such as Gauguin and Sérusier.
Ville Close: Completely surrounded by water and walls, this neighbourhood of Concarneau was originally built as a fortification. Today, you can take a walk along the ramparts. Carnac stone rows: This town in the south of Brittany is famous for its prehistoric stone fields and menhirs.
Château de Vitré: In contrast to other regions of France, there are hardly any castles in Brittany. One exception is the Château de Vitré. With its winding alleyways, the village of the same name is also worth a visit.
Ouessant: On the storm-tossed island, you can experience Brittany at its best and witness a unique spectacle of wind and waves. There are two lighthouses on Quessant, but hardly any trees. The island is too directly at the mercy of the forces of nature for that.
Côte de Granit Rose: As the name suggests, the rock on this granite coast is pink in colour. The high iron content is responsible for the unique colour. You can watch fantastic natural spectacles here, especially at sunrise and sunset.
Île de Bréhat: The climate on Brittany's flower island is so mild that exotic plants such as agaves, hydrangeas and eucalyptus trees also find ideal conditions here.
Camping by the sea in Brittany promises both relaxation and the opportunity to experience intense adventures. Water sports enthusiasts can live out their passion particularly intensively here. It doesn't matter whether it's surfing, kayaking, canoeing, sailing, fishing or swimming.
The rugged Atlantic coast of Brittany is one of the best surfing spots in Europe. Even if you've never stood on a board before, you can try your luck as a surfer. The reliable wind also makes the region interesting for kitesurfers and windsurfers. As Brittany has a north, south and west coast, there are ideal conditions on at least one of the coasts in almost every wind direction. The Côte de Granit Rose is particularly popular. The Crozon peninsula and the La Torche surf spot near the fishing village of Saint-Guénolé also offer good conditions for an unforgettable surfing experience on holiday.
A camping holiday in Brittany is the ideal opportunity for long hikes. This way you get to know the holiday region much better, because you get a completely different impression of the country than from the car. There are great routes all along the coast that you can explore on foot. The Côte de Granit Rose, Cap Sizun, where there are also mountain bike and horse riding trails, or along the cliffs at Pointe du Raz are particularly beautiful.
