  • 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

A lovely, peaceful lakeside spot with plenty of room for your tent. The hosts are sound, and the facilities are usually grand. Enjoy the quiet and the great outdoors. The snack shack and local grub are a hit. A few found the loos a bit dated and bit of noise now and then, but it's a grand place for a chill holiday.

Le Jardin electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Such a lovely place to stay ! A caring and very nice couple, huge pitches with loads of trees, with the lake just around the corner... A welcoming place with a british touch, Belinda and Andrew are always happy to help. My daughter was trying camping for the first time, and she's already asking to go back to this camping and no other one :) Many treks available nearby, a beautiful lake, calm, with a lot of wildlife, cannot wait to book for the next year ! Cheers !

Le Jardin electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked What an idyllic place this is. We have just spent a lovely couple of nights at this friendly little campsite. It was perfect for us and is located by a beautiful lake with a sandy beach just a couple of minutes walk away. It is in a very quiet location in the countryside and you can tell that Belinda the owner loves what she does. She gives a lovely welcome to everyone.
We booked a pitch with electricity and were allocated pitch 20 which was huge. We were on our motorcycle and camping with a tent. We didn’t have our own cooking facilities so we appreciated Belindas quirky snack shack, we had burgers which were really tasty. You can also order breakfast of baguettes and croissants which is very handy.
The showers and toilets are very clean and the water was nice and hot.
If you want to eat at a restaurant for lunch or dinner go to restaurant Au lac du Drennec over looking the lake. The food is fantastic, we loved it and will definitely return.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked Wonderful setting near a lake. Great walks around the lake through forest. Good cycle ride to the highest point in Brittany. Friendly helpful owner.
Plenty of hand soap in loos and plenty of toilet paper. Great burgers.

Disliked Random pitch locations with no demarcation but that added to the charm.
Loos and showers while clean could have done with a deep clean round the edges.

Le Jardin electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Superb peaceful location with the lake wrapping the campsite on 2 sides, well laid out campsite (Freezer and Fridge in main office), clean facilities and hot powerful showers!), good recycling and compost options, lovely staff, fab walk around the lake (recommend doing that to orient yourselves!) 2 beaches, sailing/canoe centre, trout fishing possible, beautiful nature on your doorstep.

(Anyone reading reviews about cold water washing up - you have to fill the bucket from the hot water tap! Much better for the environment as no hot water wasted!)

Disliked Honestly for us there was nothing to dislike (other than the cold wet weather on arrival day!)

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked Amazing location just up from the lake. Really friendly owners and staff who couldn't do enough for you to ensure you enjoyed your stay. Basic facilities but everything you need. Liked the cycling opportunities and the beautiful setting. Little shop and snack shack ideal for ice creams and tea if you want a night off from cooking. Stayed 2 nights at the beginning of our trip to relax and recharge, then booked to stay the night before we went home as in easy reach of Roscoff, 45 mins away, and we really enjoyed the site and hospitality. Thank you!

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.
