  • Pools with waterslides, sauna and hammam all free for guests
  • Play area, evening entertainment and snack bar with free wifi
The beaches of Benodet are a smashing Brittany holiday spot. How fortuitous a setting then has Camping du Poulquer, a handsomely green site only 200 metres from these scenic sands and less than a kilometre from Benodet town centre. The old fishing port of Concarneau and the mightily traditional town of Quimper are both under half an hour's drive. For splashing around on site, a stay at du Poulquer also includes free access to its fine waterpark with indoor and outdoor pools, paddling pool, waterslides, hammam and sauna – again, all gratis for guests… There’s also a play area with netted trampoline, ping pong tables and big bouncy castle for kids, and regular activities such as pétanque tournaments and disco and karaoke nights for adults and teens. Food and free wifi are sorted at the snack bar. Camping du Poulquer is also equipped with toilet blocks suitable for disabled guests, free hot showers, a launderette and a washing-up corner. Bars, restaurants, shops, a spa and a casino are a short stroll away.

What customers say

Great location near beach and town. Friendly staff and good facilities, especially the pools. Pitches are decent. Some report outdated restrooms, missing paper/soap, limited entertainment, and booking issues.

Power optional grass campsite

Liked The campsite is located close to the beach and town, meaning you don’t need to drive out everyday. The supermarket is walkable, but we chose to drive as it was hot!
The pools are really good fun, although not all the features were working.
There is a good play area including a bouncy castle - unfortunately this was right near the entrance and road which meant we didn’t feel comfortable letting our child go there without an adult.
The pool and the washing facilities were clean.
The pitches are a good size and are well shaded which is great when you’re in a tent!
The lady in the little shop was lovely.

Disliked When we arrived, we got a very cold welcome from the owner who acted like we were inconveniencing him. His attitude did not get better during the stay - for example, he seemed to leave us waiting longer than others at the bar - We have no idea if we did something to offend him or if he’s like that with others, but we saw him smiling and laughing with other guests.
There is no map and we had no introduction to where things are, meaning we didn’t find some of the facilities until days after we arrived!
There is no toilet paper or hand soap in the toilets. In the block closest to us there was only three showers in the ladies facilities. (There is another block, but I didn’t find that until day 3!)
The toilet block is closed for cleaning in the morning when everyone needs to use the facilities which seems really odd and poorly thought out.

Disliked Very poor welcome, waited for reception to arrive, gentleman lacked customer facing skills, abrupt and grumpy. Gentleman was friendly around the site so perhaps a bad day for him!

Local attractions

Spas and sands are the main order of leisurely business around seasidey Benodet: the town's known as a thalassotherapy centre and four golden sandy beaches are within a kilometre of Camping du Poulquer. As well as the beaches here, get along to Plage des Dames and the Plage des Sables Blancs for serene sunbathing, or take a ferry to the nearby Glénan Islands. Among the many other Finistère and Brittany options easily reached from Benodet is Concarneau, the third biggest fishing port in France which has an Old Town on a rocky island just off the coast, a fishing museum and a fine indoor market selling fish (mais oui), fruit, veg and other local produce. Another must is Quimper, the old Brittany town where you'll still see women in traditional Breton dress (and head coverings), among the cobbled streets and half-timbered buildings. You could also take a look at the port town of Pont-l'Abbé, with the remains of its 14th-century castle as well as the Bigouden Museum also showcasing traditional dress and headpieces, or the village of Locranon. For outdoorsy antics, hike along the 12-kilometre circular trail through the forest of Bois de Névet, looking out for deer, foxes, badgers and buzzards along the way.
