Around the site

  • Peaceful and simple Brittany site on the edge of Forêt de Coat-an-Noz
  • Belle-Isle-en-Terre five minutes' drive; half an hour to the coast
  • Easy access from the main road; great fishing nearby in Le Guic river
Sometimes, all you need is a simple setup – a quiet rural location with just the essential amenities, no noisy entertainments and plenty of space to relax. If this sounds like your kind of thing, book yourselves a Brittany break at Les Vieilles Forges Camping. This peaceful family-run site is on the edge of the Forêt de Coat-an-Noz, a lovely wooded area with miles of paths to walk or cycle along. There’s some excellent fishing (both coarse and fly) in the nearby Le Guic river (known as one of France’s cleanest rivers) and a protected wetland area on site where you might spot kingfishers or otters if you sit quietly for a while. The grass pitches here are simple, spacious and sheltered by trees, and they’ve got access to shared facilities including toilets, showers and a washing-up area. It's a laidback site where all guests are welcome, whether you’re travelling with kids, dogs, friends, a partner or just your good self. The vibe at this site is very much one of rural peace and quiet, but it's also a very handily located place, with a local bar 10 minutes’ walk away and the amenities of Belle-Isle-en-Terre about five minutes’ drive away. There’s easy access directly from the main road (no small country lanes to navigate here) and the N12 passes about 10 minutes’ drive away. The handy road access also means that the beaches of the Côtes-d’Armor are about half an hour’s drive away.

Electric grass tent or motorhome pitch (large)

Liked The owner was very friendly and our pitch was large. Overall, I would describe this campsite as rustic. This is the owners’ first full year and they have a lot of work to do to get the site looking tidy. Our site was lumpy and the hedge needed trimming.

Disliked We thought the site was quite expensive compared to most others we have stayed in around the area.

Liked Super friendly staff and lovely rural location. No frills but also not needed. Facilities weren’t fancy but also spotlessly clean and everything you needed. Surrounded by gorgeous woodland.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Countryside location made for some peace, tranquility and star light. Nearby village was extremely beautiful and larger town a short drive away had a shop and restaurant. Shower and toilet block were no frills but had what you needed. The honesty fridge was a nice touch. The pitches were shady but best of all, Hazel and Dason were so friendly and helpful, we felt at home straight away. The morning breakfast run was an unexpected treat.

Local attractions

Bring your boots and/or your bike, because there are lots of splendid trails to follow nearby – perhaps you’d like to stroll to the pretty village of Loc-Envel (about 20 minutes away on foot) or take a walk through the neighbouring forest. If you’re concerned about losing your way, the team on site can offer guided walks in French and English. For more nature-based outings, head to nearby Belle-Isle-en-Terre (five minutes’ drive) for L’Aquarium des curieux de nature or walk among the towering plants at La Vallée des Bambous (10 minutes). The almost 200 sculptures at the Valley of Saints (half an hour) are well worth a visit too, for a day out that combines art and outdoor scenery. In Brittany you're never that far from the coast, so some seaside days should certainly be on the schedule while you’re here. That might be a stroll around medieval Morlaix, a hike on part of the GR34 long-distance trail, a birdwatching boat trip to Les Sept-Îles, sunset over the Pink Granite coast, family time on one of the sandy beaches… it’s all about half an hour away by car.
