  • 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.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: The park was well laid out with good facilities and the location is beautiful. The staff were friendly and were accommodating when it was clear our motorhome was too large for the allocated pitch. It was a great location to visit other highlights in the area.

Disliked: Lack of hand drying after using the toilet but not a massive issue

Electric grass pitch

Liked: We had a fab time at this campsite, the campsite is in a great place, just a few steps from the beach which has a lovely calm sea and lots of rock pools. The pitches were really big so lots of space to have our awning out and table and chairs ect. The toilets and showers were always clean and the washing up area was great too fab it’s all under cover so you are out of the rain or heat. The pool is really lovely my kids had great fun it’s not heated too warm but just enough so you can still enjoy it on a cooler day. It’s very close to lots of lovely day trips out too. Really lovely staff who were helpful and friendly. The option to order in bakery items which are amazing!

Jessica E. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Electric grass pitch

Liked: The site was very pretty, some good facilities and the pool was a bonus! Never an issue with getting a sunbed. The restaurant was very nice as were the staff. We liked having the option to order fresh bread and pastries the night before too.

Disliked: The onsite shop could have more choice(eg large bottles of water, ice) The restaurant didn’t open for drinks until 11, would have liked a coffee first thing. We weren’t keen on the toilet area, it could get a little smelly, we didn’t enjoy the open aspect and a clear difference between the mens and women’s would have been better. Was a little remote meaning travelling if you wanted to eat out/sightsee.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: The setting and surrounding countryside.

Disliked: Shop stock very low - no milk for 24hrs. Not enough showers for the size of the site. Toilets and showers were not professionally cleaned daily. Pitch was on a slope with holes in the ground. Defo wasn’t extra large pitch.

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.
