  • Family-friendly site in a valley beside the Nantes-Brest Canal
  • A kilometre from Chateaulin on the famed Crozon peninsula
  • Garden and shop; fresh bread, croissants and eggs sold in high season
Frolic in Finistère at Camping La Pointe, a site that sits pretty in a small valley with spectacular views. You can soak up the vistas here from a very pleasant position indeed: the park has a handsome garden for guests’ use – with chickens roaming freely – and is bordered by woods with red squirrels, deer and tawny owls hiding among the trees. Cute critters spotted, head back to the park for amenities including a small shop selling essentials as well as fresh bread and croissants and an indoor communal area with a library and table tennis. The shower and toilet blocks are suitable for disabled guests. Brittany’s Nantes-Brest Canal runs opposite the entrance to the site, providing a great space for salmon fishing, waterside walks, cycling tours and canoeing trips. Being on the outskirts of Chateaulin and at the edge of the famed Crozon peninsula, home to craggy coastlines and teeny fishing towns, it’s also well placed for days out among historic villages and on white sandy beaches. The nearest town, Saint-Coulitz, is two kilometres away and Chateaulin is less than a five-minute drive away for your supermarket needs. Further afield, Quimper’s well-preserved old town is 25 minutes to the south.

Electric optional grass pitch (maximum 7 metres)

Liked Rustige mooie en stille camping, De gastvrijheid van Vicky en Mike (UK) de prachtige wandel en fiets omgeving. Het schone toilet en sanitair. De mooie grote plaatsen met water en stroompunten op korte afstand. Heerlijk brood en sensationeel goede groente uit eigen tuin. De tomaten behoorden tot de besten ooit gegeten.

Disliked Internet was gratis in de kantine. Helaas geen ontvangst op de kampeerplaats.

Electric optional grass pitch (maximum 7 metres)

Liked Wow! The campsite had everything!
Pitch was lovely - spacious and surrounded by two established hedges and trees on the third side. Through the trees was a trickling stream.
Plenty of toilets and showers - very clean!
Small, welcoming bar.
Boules pitch. Games room.
Lovely walk into Chateaulin. Luckily the Women's Tour de France came through during our stay.
Small jetty into canal opposite the entrance to the site and lovely clean water to paddle in - with lovely scenery each way.
Friendly hosts.

Local attractions

Pleyben, with its famed 16th-century parish church, is 15 minutes’ drive from the site, while medieval meandering can be had in Locronan within 20 minutes, in a small town founded by an Irish missionary. Another lovely locale for a wander is the port town of Douarnenez, 30 minutes away; settle down here at one of the coffee shops to spy boats toing and froing from one of the four harbours. The port museum is the place to inspect similar vessels inside a wet dock created to simulate life at sea. Alternatively, cross the water – without setting foot on a ship – to Tristan Island just off Douarnenez’s coast. This place of nature with a ruined fort is reachable only at low tide: sign up for a trip at the tourist office and its guides will make sure you get back to the mainland safe and sound. To take to the ocean for real, make your way to Kervel (25 minutes away) or journey a further 15 to Plage des Sables Blancs for white sands, beach volleyball and watersports rentals. If built-up beaches aren’t your bag, the wilder Saint-Jean is a kilometre away along the coastal path.
