  • 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.

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.

From the manager: Hi
Thankyou for your review. I am glad that you liked your pitch and sorry that you found our facilities lacking. We do check and clean 3 times daily. We do have staff members here all day in the summer so I think that I will put a note in the toilets that if you find them in a messy order that you can come and tell the staff who will happily rectify the situation. Most our campers love it here and return year after year. I am sorry it wasn't for you.

Electric optional grass touring pitch

Liked Lovely, friendly greeting on arrival,by the owners, a British couple. The lake was a couple of minutes walk away and was a real treat, especially for our dog who loves to swim. The beach too, which is next to the lake is really super clean, although dogs aren’t allowed on it. A very quiet and peaceful site too.

Disliked No grey waste point and no Elsan point. We were advised we could use the disabled toilet to empty the black waste, but there was no means of cleaning the toilet cassette afterwards. No WiFi but we were advised it would be coming shortly.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hi
Thanks for your kind review. Sadly we are not allowed to have an elsan point or accept blue chemical waste due to the fact that we are next to the lake and have a septic tank. This information is available on pitch up and our own website as well as the fact we don't have wifi at the moment. There are local emptying services in many local villages near the campsite the closest is 3 km away in St Sauveur. We also have a good 4g signal at the campsite.
Thanks
Belinda

Electric optional grass touring pitch

Liked It is a nice, small camping with good pitches and enough shadow. We liked the lake at 2 minutes walking. We also liken the restaurant at the lake. We stayed 2 nights, the second day we were free to choose another, bigger place. The owners are very flexible.

Disliked We didnot like the dogs that were walking around and 2x we found dogs shit.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thankyou for your review. I am sorry that you found dog poo on the pitch we are a dog friendly site but rely on owners to pick their dog mess up. We do do regular sweeps of the campsite to clear any mess up. I am glad that you liked our pitches and the lake.
Thankyou

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.
