  • Family-friendly site on Brittany's Pink Granite Coast
  • Long stretch of private beach next to the park
  • Heated pool, paddling pool, fishing, playground and restaurant
A Brittany base close to the Pink Granite Coast is colourfully smashing enough… but when it has its own beach? Sorted for excellent hols. Set on a small green peninsula jutting out into the Atlantic, RCN Port l'Épine is a family-friendly park at the seaside town of Trélévern, in a handy base for getting around its Côtes d'Armor department, the north of Brittany, Finistère, Morbihan and popular Breton towns like Dinan and Saint-Malo. It's a few kilometres from the Côte de Granit-Rose, to the west of the Cote d'Emeraude: all is rather colourful around these parts indeed… There's plenty to do on site if you're not in the mood for the beach, including a heated pool and a heated paddling pool, a play area with trampoline, fishing, giant chess, table tennis, table football and regular events and activities in high season from the English-speaking entertainment team. Organised walking tours around the region are held in early and late season. RCN Port l'Épine also has a restaurant with a terrace and snack takeaway, and a fresh bread service with rolls and baked goods delivered every day (please note you might have to order what you want outside of high season). The site has a wifi hotspot: just ask at reception for an access card.

What customers say

This well-kept Dutch-run campsite is right on the beach with many sites offering sea views. Guests rave about the friendly, helpful staff and top-notch, modern, clean facilities, especially the showers and washrooms. It's a peaceful spot in beautiful nature with great access to coastal trails for walks and biking. The on-site restaurant and fresh bread orders are a hit. Most reviews are glowing, though some note occasional bar noise or a small shop selection.

Liked Nothing

Disliked I had to cancel this booking because our passports and money were stolen the night before the ferry crossing.

I informed the campsite as soon as I could but I believe I will have no reimbursement (even though the site is full and we had booked for 4 nights and these places are now taken).

This is not generous or fair. Please reconsider -

Liked Location (for half a day)

Disliked Pitch to small and uneven, to close to everyone else mainly low rent tents with kids and dogs, parking rubbish. Location once you have taken pictures boring, no shops, cabin food and drinks places all closed just Limited on site cafe full of kids. Pretty boring place really, advice take everything with you food and drink as there is nowhere for miles or do as we did move on as a day is all you need here.

Liked Camping très propre, sanitaires également.
Vue très agréable. Région exceptionnelle

Disliked Le seul bémol est que c’est un camping néerlandais, peu de personnes (personnel inclu) parlent français. Les affichages sont aussi très peu ou mal traduits en français.

Liked Location! Directly on the beach! Pitches a decent size with hedges round making it private. The site and facilities were clean. Staff were helpful. Couldn’t fault the site really. Would happily return.

Powered grass campsite

Liked Beautiful area, beach and coastline is very nice and enjoyed walking the coast. Shower and toilet facilities were clean and tidy.

Disliked Not suitable for motorhomes unless they have hydraulic leveller. Our pitch was lovely and big, but had over hanging trees on 3 corners so left us with a very uneven area and a very uncomfortable 2 nights. Our Motorhome was 3.10 high. We have two level blocks but it was so uneven both front to back and left to right. Pool area could do with an upgrade, very small for the size of the campsite and number of residents. Standard of food is only ok and far more expensive than other sites in France of similar and higher rating. Campsite down the road had a much nicer menu.

Liked Great facilities, clean bathrooms. We loved the bakery service and it was so lovely to be able to swim morning and evening

Disliked Our pitch was just by the bar and people didn’t necessarily respect the quiet hours on the site

Local attractions

RCN Port l’Épine's coastal setting of Côtes d'Armor has old Breton culture, modern family attractions, watersports, nature, forests, seaside resorts and shoreline hikes all easily doable within walking or day trip distance. Windsurfing, boating and sailing are available nearby, along with sea fishing and trout stream fishing at local town Trélévern, a couple of kilometres away. For hiking and biking, follow the GR 34, the Brittany Coastal Path running along the route used by 17th- and 18th-century coastguards. The Pink Granite Coast from Perros Guirec (20 minutes' drive) to Trégastel is probably one of Brittany's best-known scenic spots for hiking along with a camera. At its centre, the swish seaside resort of Perros-Guirec is another popular Breton coastal place, with a lively beach and plenty of cafés and shops. From Perros Guirec's Trestraou beach, hike along the coast to the fishing village at Ploumanac'h and then on to Pointe de Squewel, via more pink rock of interesting formations. Inland, see the historic town of Lannion a few kilometres south of Perros-Guirec, for a wander around its centre full of medieval and 15th- and 16th-century buildings.
