  • Quiet and friendly site 25 miles from Roscoff, run by a British couple
  • By Lac du Drennec in a national park; watersports centre close by
  • Beach, lakeside restaurant and bar
What a splendid site. There's pretty much all you need at the serene and mightily scenic lakeside site of Camping Le Drennec in Brittany – 'idyllic', 'little paradise' and 'wonderful' are among the guest accolades here... If you're arriving from or on your way to L'Angleterre, you'll likely hurrah at the setting too, hidden away in a rural spot but only 45 minutes' drive from Roscoff. Guests of all ilks will be well pleased too to hear of Le Drennec's other fab features: a spectacular lakeside location beside the fishing haven of Lac du Drennec; surroundings in Finistère's Armorique Regional Natural Park; a beach right next door, and a hugely warm and friendly welcome from English owners Belinda and Andrew. Facilities include a tennis court, a covered outdoor area with picnic tables and a shop selling ice creams, snacks and basic provisions. The beach next to the lake has a play area, volleyball net and table tennis; guests can of course also use the sands as a launching point for lake paddles and swims, or amble over to the watersports centre two minutes' walk away for more active lake-based options. Fishing's a popular pastime in the lake too; just make sure you bag a local permit before casting off. Also next to the lake is the swish Au Lac bar and restaurant, with terrace and accompanying stunning view, plus a changing menu of homemade food. There's a communal barbecue and firepit if you'd rather sort supper or breakfast pitchside; bread can be ordered in advance for the following day and supplies picked up in local town Commana, 10 minutes' drive away. On site, there's a snack shack serving a selection of hot food at weekends in low season and every evening in July and August.

GILBERT P. 1 review

Electric optional grass touring pitch

Liked Découvert par le plus grand des hasards, ce camping familial est exactement ce que nous cherchions. Endroit calme et reposant dans une verdure bien entretenue. Nous étions avec notre camping-car sur une position bien ombragée, au frais malgré ces chaleurs accablantes de cet été. Grande place qui nous a permis de nous étaler un peu sans gêner quiconque. L'accueil fut parfait: sourire et confiance. Le camping est propre et stupeur: à deux minutes d'un lac dans lequel la baignade est autorisée. Petite boutique sur le camping qui permet d'ajuster les éventuels oublis. Venus pour un week-end, nous en avons réservé un autre.

From the manager: Thank you for your lovely review. I am so glad that you enjoyed this special place it would be great to se you again sometime.

Liked De locatie.

Disliked De vervallen status van de camping alsmede de staat en het tekort van de sanitaire voorziening. Bijv. maar 1 herentoilet en 2 smerige douches. Veel loslopende honden, ook van de eigenaar en hondenpoep op het terrein. Overvolle vuilcontainers.

From the manager: I must say I am a bit astounded by this review. We have had to dismantle the barbeque as we are not allowed to have them at the moment that is down to the prefecture. You have produced a picture of a shed that is not even on the campsite and is nothing to do with it. Our bins were difficult to manage as we did not get our normal collection due to staffing issues at the depot. We stored all of the waste rubbish elsewhere and bought them out on the day they were being collected.
Bobby the campsite dog is allowed to be off the leash but most of our customers do respect the fact that dogs are on leads and pick the poo up. If you do find poo us or any of our staff will happily clear it up. Our showers are older but we do keep them clean again if you find them in a mess due to a previous user we are here all the time and will happily rectify the situation for you. I think what upset me more than anything is that we had many conversations while you were here and were having personal issues. I gave you a refund as I felt sad for you and your situation. Not once did you mention to me your unhappiness with the campsite during our many chats. I am sorry that you felt this way.

Camping authentique et sympa. Le cadre est trés nature, ombragé, super

Electric optional grass touring pitch

Liked Great site, about 1 hr from roscoff ferry. The owners were great, very friendly and helpful. As I only stayed for 1 night i didn't have chance to explore the area. I would recommend that anyone with a large caravan to provide the size when booking so a suitable pitch can be allocated as some pitches can be a bit awkward.

Local attractions

Lac du Drennec covers 110 hectares so is a stellar spot for watersports, lakeside walks and wildlife spotting; it's a famed brown and rainbow trout fishing lake too, with about 8,000 rainbow trout of up to 2kg added to the waters each year. Also close by, nearby riding stable can arrange hacks out into the countryside and natural park surrounds around the lake. For hiking further afield, Belinda and Andrew recommend wanders around the Monts d'Arrée mountain range: a top pick to hike up to is Saint-Michel Chapel on Mont Saint-Michel de Brasparts, accessible from Saint-Rivoal 10 minutes' drive away. The spectacular views from here include the Brittany peat bogs, the lake at Brennilis and countryside all the way to Morlaix Bay: bring your camera along. The north and west coasts of Brittany are within 30 to 45 minutes' drive.
