Morbihan, a camping destination in southern Brittany
Coastline, megaliths, islands
Morbihan boasts three assets that few other departments in Brittany can match: an exceptional coastline with fine sandy beaches, a megalithic heritage unique in the world, and easy access to the islands. The Gulf of Morbihan, the Quiberon Peninsula, Belle-Île-en-Mer—each area has its own character. Carnac, for its part, combines all of these features.
For families, Carnac is an ideal destination. The beaches are wide and safe, water sports abound on the Crac’h estuary, and the stone circles offer a cultural outing just a bike ride away. Camping in southern Brittany also benefits from more sunshine than the Breton average: Morbihan is one of the sunniest departments on the French Atlantic coast.
The off-season months deserve a special mention. In May and June, as well as in September, you can visit the Carnac menhirs without the summer crowds, the bike paths are clear, and the Crac’h estuary returns to its peaceful state.
For couples and campers who love nature without the noise, these times of year are often the best. Our campground is the perfect starting point for exploring Southern Brittany, no matter when you visit.

What our holidaymakers say
Isma&Pascal
“Superb campsite!
We took a mobile home with a view of the lake, and it was top-notch! Very quiet place with a great view, relaxing.
The mobile home is new, perfect, very good size, very clean, sheets provided.
The terrace is very large, with table and chairs, a small lounge (the small table was missing) and 2 sun loungers (I would have preferred a chaise longue, but it was still very good) and what I like above all is that there are no neighbours when we’re on the terrace
And we had the visit of the little birds
The swimming pool, nothing to complain about
The staff, whether on the phone or on site, were perfect.
Very well located between Carnac and La Trinité sur Mer
One thing’s for sure…. We’ll be back, it was the best of the best ”

“We had a great stay at this campsite from August 9th to 16th. Clearly, if you’re a small family with young children, this is the campsite for you. It’s very quiet, the staff are friendly and there’s a good-natured atmosphere. We stayed in a well-equipped, 3-bedroom, 6/8-seater mobile home with a small terrace. The swimming pool is perfect for children, and the view from it is very pleasant. The location, 5 min from La Trinité-sur-Mer and 10 min from Carnac by taking the road to the menhir alignments, is perfect. We immediately felt like we were on holiday when we arrived. Thanks again for the warm welcome.
