  • 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.

What customers say

This quiet campsite offers a lovely lake for swimming and walks. Guests enjoyed the friendly, helpful English owners, generous sites, and clean washrooms. A small store and snack bar are on-site. While some found facilities a bit old and had occasional hot water hiccups, the natural beauty and peaceful vibe are big draws. Handy stop for the Roscoff ferry.

Le Jardin powered grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked The quiet
Beautiful nature
Price

Disliked The facilities, sanitary is lacking severely in comparison to other campings

Showers that work half decent, 1!!!!!! Toilet for men?

To wash the dishes you need a bucket and spend 4-5-6 buckets of water to finally get hot water

I know, i takes a while, i get that, but spilling water isn’t better

I would suggest a hot water circulation system so you have instant hot water, relatively cheap to do and instant results.

I would suggest to redo the whole sanitary part
1 room with all showers, another with all toilets, everyone happy.

Fix this and its an easy 9/10 camping spot

Le Jardin powered grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked This campsite is wonderfully kept, very friendly and in a stunning location by a lake with water activities. The showers were powerful and hot the loos were clean and conveniently placed. There are burger ls and panini’s cooked on site to buy on most days in the evening which were very high quality.

Disliked As with all stunning spots it’s extremely remote. There are small villages a short drive away, however amenities are limited and opening times of local shops and restaurants are sporadic without notice other than a sign in the door. I would arrive with all the food you need if you’re people who cook while camping. If you like to eat put there is a little restaurant by the lake which is walking distance but it’s fairly pricey, however it’s high quality. We travelled at the end of the French season which meant there was even less available to us so next time I would factor that in and probably travel late July to mid August.

Power optional grass travel trailer campsite

Liked Good size pitch’s. We were in a 7.85m motorhome and had plenty of room. Belinda and Andrew are lovely and very welcoming. Burgers from the shack van are great too.

Disliked Would be handy to have a washing machine in the wash area even if you had to pay extra to use it.

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.
