It's a great little campsite close to a beach and about 20 minute cycle to the main village where great food was served all day from a variety of eateries.
You can hire a tippee to stay in and watch the beautiful sunsets from the beach just across the road.
The staff were super friendly (even if somewhat intrigued by my bad allo allo-esque accent) and you can't knock warm croissants from the small shop first thing in the morning.
This place and its surrounding areas were a joy to explore and felt very similar to the Isles of Scilly.

A gorgeous cluster of eight or so gites just 10 minutes from the coast in Brittany. Looking for the perfect easy-going family holiday location? This is it. Paradise for young ones with a huge secure site that showers them with facilities, two heated (and gated) pools, a lawned garden in the centre of all the gites featuring the classic and ever popular park paraphernalia. Then there's a huge trampoline, a covered barn with soft play area and ball pit and an endless supply of ride-on's inc scooters, bikes and tractors ... If that's not enough, the free roaming rabbit and the chicken shed is the cherry on top. For the parents the pools are fabulous, but to be honest we reverted back to our childhood and joined our three-year-old on everything designed for him. The on-site bar however provides a well earned break in the evening and comes with peace of mind as the baby monitors are lined up alongside the tasty French Vino and cheese. English hosts Simon and Lesley were top dollar, and were more than happy to accommodate all our various requests. A great place to stay if you are a family traveling alone, as you will meet lots of similar families (and the kids end up entertaining themselves) but would also be a great place to book with friends. Highly recommended.
