  • Family-friendly site in the popular seaside resort of Bénodet
  • A 300-metre walk from the sea and 400 metres from Benodet's main beach
  • Waterpark with waterslides; bar, shop and multisports ground
Not one… not two… not even three – but four golden sandy Brittany beaches are within a paltry kilometre's amble from family-friendly seaside site Camping de la Plage in Finistère. It's 15 minutes' stroll from the seaside resort of Bénodet where the Odet river meets the sea, 300 metres from the water and 400 from Benodet's main beach. Shellfish, shrimp and crab fishing, watersports and simply lounging on the sands are all exceptionally easy from this southern Brittany coast setting next to these four golden beaches; in town, there are art galleries and museums, a casino and crêperies to keep you occupied, while mountain biking, climbing and quite a few other outdoor activities are available nearby. But you'll likely want to laze around on site for some time too… For Camping de la Plage has a big and quite fab waterpark, made up of a covered pool, two outdoor pools, two waterslides, two hot tubs and a kids' paddling pool – plus outdoor aqua gym sessions in July and August. Among the many other facilities are a bar, an outdoor fitness circuit and a small indoor fitness room, a multisports court, a pétanque court, indoor and outdoor ping pong tables and a games room with billiards and table football. If you're hankering after some organised entertainment after long sunny days at the beach, karaoke, dances and themed evenings are held in July and August. Among the site's amenities are an accessible block with toilets, hot showers and a baby bathroom, and a launderette with washers and dryers. Barbecues are allowed.

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked: Received a warm welcome and even got to choose our tent pitch. Facilities clean and plentiful - two toilets and shower block. Pool and slides fantastic. A handy shop on site for basics. Walking distance to the beach (less than 5 minutes). Wifi worked great. Easy to find and plenty of bigger supermarkets nearby. Loads of activities to do on site (can’t comment on these as we didn’t make use of them).

Disliked: Nothing

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked: Nous avons apprécié la piscine, la proximité de la plage et les activités proposées par le camping. Les emplacements sont vraiment sympas, spacieux et beaucoup d’arbres donc nous étions à l’abri en cas de forte chaleur ou même forte pluie.

Disliked: La nuit le camping ferme les douches, mon fils ayant eu un incident dans la nuit ça a été embêtant, nous avions du utiliser l’évier de la vaisselle pour obtenir de l’eau chaude…

Martin S. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked: The whole family enjoying the water park and we had a great large pitch, although had we been given one of the other pitches we would not have been so pleased as they were tight together. The toilets were clean and we saw them being cleaned several times a day. Access to the beach was great just a short walk and the areas around Bénodet are amazing.

Disliked: The site is a little tired and needs some work to modernise. One of the toilet/shower blocks was good but the one we were near was not so good. We were not aware you had to take your own toilet paper although this wasn't an issue what we didn't like is they didn't provide hand wash so you saw many people walking away without washing their hands. We made a little bag up with toilet paper and hand wash that we could take. Make sure you have an extra long power lead as some areas are quiet far away. Although there is security on site they didn't monitor the noise levels or people starting bbqs after 11pm when there should be no noise

Local attractions

A few days at least should be spent on the four sandy stretches local to the site: the Benodet beaches of Trez, with beach club and beach cabin as well as catamaran and windsurf rental, 400 metres away; the protected lagoon of La Letty, 500 metres away; Saint Gilles, the spot for shellfish, shrimp and crab fishing, also 500 metres away, and Coq, a kilometre away facing the Odet river estuary. Within easy ambling distance too is a casino, within 600 metres, and the Benodet Seaside Museum within a kilometre, showcasing the town's relationship with the sea and how it's changed throughout the centuries. Benodet Marina, the departure point for trips to the Glénan Islands and Sainte Marine, as well as the starting point for many Brittany races and regattas, is two kilometres away. Also easy to get to from here is Quimper (17 kilometres), Finistère's capital and an anciently traditional city with cobbled streets, half-timbered buildings, footbridges and many residents wandering around in traditional Breton dress. Have a look too at the cathedral of Saint-Corentin, with its bendy middle (go see) and the nearby museum of fine arts, home to hundreds of paintings alongside regular events and shows. More must-see old piles are at Concarneau, 19 kilometres away; if your tastes tend more towards nature hikes, the Armorique Regional Natural Park is under 60 kilometres from Benodet.
