Cozy holiday homes

  • 200m from the beaches of Benodet and under 1km from the town centre
  • 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.

Great spot, short walk to town & beach. Staff friendly, facilities clean, pools a hit. Spacious, private pitches. Some guests wished for more evening entertainment & noted minor shop/bar issues.

Rebecca T.

Electric optional grass tent, touring caravan or trailer tent pitch

Liked What’s not to like!! First time camping in France as a family! (Although myself and partner did it as children) camping du poulquer was everything we wanted!!
Management was second to none, opened reception when we arrived at 7pm after a long drive, we soon realised all shops were shut, the owner gave us two bottles of water and refused payment until we could get to the shop the morning after!!

Site was spotless! No litter, toilets, shower and washing up facilities again spotless however never saw anyone cleaning so they must’ve been in at the crack of dawn before anyone was up!

Pool area was just what we wanted for our 4 year old! The weather was great so we didn’t really use the indoor pool so can’t make comment on that!! Pool area was quiet till around 3/4pm when more people joined but ample amount of space to swim and have fun with 4 pools to choose from!!

Play area has 2 trampolines, bouncy castles, slides and swings again ample amount for your kids to do while in a safe enclosed space!

The site itself was HUGE and busy but it felt like there were only a few families there with each pitch having its own hedged area! Your own little sanctuary!! 11pm onwards was deadly silent perfect for our 4 year old to get some sleep!

The Boules competition took place after lunch each day and although we didn’t bring our own we happily watched 2 or 3 games take place at once with our mezmaried little one!!

Monday, tuesday, Thursday and Friday night a crepe van/burger van visits the site and food is reasonably priced and tastes amazing!!! My daughter begged for a crepe on walking past and it was delish the following night after running out of gas unexpectedly we had burgers and my goodness we’ll dream about these once home!!

Each night we took the very short walk to the beach for an ice cream after tea!! The beach area was lovely and we often managed to watch the sunset over harbour!

There was evening entertainment in what seemed to be a bar area and the front of the site but as we had a little one with us we didn’t get chance to visit!

We booked the site with 7 days notice (it was a spare of the moment trip) due to the lack of avalibility everywhere else we booked here but we are so glad we did!!! We had an amazing week here!! Defo looking to come back in the future!!

Disliked Nothing!! Although the playground was a stone flooring and my little one kept getting stones in her crocs!! Although nothing a little dust off didn’t solve!!

Samuel B.

Electric optional grass tent, touring caravan or trailer tent pitch

Liked The site was well positioned and facilities such as pool and toilets were good.

Disliked Pitch Up advertised the site as a family camping site however there were groups of young teenagers up all night partying and making noise. Not appropriate for families with smaller children which we had.

Sandra M.

Electric optional grass tent, touring caravan or trailer tent pitch

Liked Der Campingplatz war gut, aber Pitchup hat nicht funktioniert

Disliked Wir haben über Pitchup gebucht. Bei Ankunft teilte uns der Campingplatz Besitzer mit, dass er sich bereits vor 2 Wochen bei Pitchup abgemeldet habe und wir standen ohne Reservierung da. Der Platz war ausgebucht, aber er hat uns netterweise noch einen Platz zugeteilt. Nie wieder über Pitchup.

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.
