There's a huge , two layer car park on the beach, which is sparsely occupied, even in season.
On the list of other attractions are the corniche and massive beach at st Michael-en-Grieve 20 km south, which has surfers and sand yatcht racing, the mussel farming at Le Yaudet (10km) away, the faulted pink rock formations and lighthouse at Ploumanach 20 km north, the local radio telescope arrays (French equivalent of Jodrell Bank) and the extraordinary sand/shingle and pebble bank, Le Sillon De Talbert (30km to the North-East), which stetches 3.5 km into the sea (A sort of Chesil Beach meets Spurn head) and the artist colony on ile de Brehat (40 km North -East). Plus numerous chateaux inland.
Not forgetting the local naturist beach . . As indicated by the pink painted WW2 German coastal defence pillbox.
Thanks Nicholas. Lots of great information there! You obviously know the area very well.
We were totally unaware of the naturist beach until we accidentally 'discovered' it...

@@campervancapers6320 Its also worth going that 80 miles further West to the Western edge of France, particularly the Crozon peninsular and Douarnenez/Audierne peninsular. Cap Du Raz (The most Westerly point in France ) is a must to visit. The very extensive beaches to see on the Eastern shore of the Bay of Douarnenez (4 * hotel on one) , the shoreline nature reserve at La Palue/LostMarch, the huge curved family beach at Gouliene (Always water sports going on there), the Bretton Resistance war memorial at Pointe de Pen Hir, Crozon, the Napoloenic forts at Camaret-sur-mere and Roscnavel, the curved suspension bridge at Terenez, the pretty sailing/fishing porte of Morgat, Crozon with mini corniche, La Torche surfing congregation point near Penmarch, and various military establishments, including the ponton mooring that the German Battleship Bismark would have used had it made it to Brest.
When I was down that way in 2008/9, I also visited, using the two-lane coastal express way, the Shipwrights in Concarneau who were repairing Jacques Cousteau's Calypso and the WW2 German U-Boat pens at Lorient.
And if you back track 60 miles east again to the plateau south of Morlaix you'll see the extensive heath and gorse moorland, which is beautiful with the sun on it. And a bit further south from Morlaix, you'l find the Brocéliande Forest - the alleged haunt of King Arthur and his court.
And there is no shortage of things to do and places to visit (If you choose to) and, similarly, no shortage of camp-sites all along the coast. And it was all reasonably priced at the time I visited.
😍😍😍 I love the tour and the campsite 👍 so pretty and,to have the beach so close. Another on our list 👍❤️😊
Julie Alderson Yep! Although the walk back from the beach, uphill, in the heat, was a bit of a killer!! Still a little gem though, and so cheap!! 😀👍
Hi both, another lovely French campsite, love the hedges and privacy! The facilities are impressive! Thanks for taking us with you, always an enjoyable time 👍👍👍😎
unowho travel channel That's one thing we really like too! The pitches tend to be a bit bigger, and a bit more established. 👍😀
This is such a beautiful campground. Loved the tour! :)
Arbitrary Exploration Why thank you! Nothing like when you find a beautiful beach on your doorstep!! 👍😀
thanks for the film. don't fancy having to walk past the chaps at the urinals to get to the shower !!, but loved the look of the beach
Not all that uncommon in many french sites.... Shared bathroom facilities is just something you get used to.... Especially in off season when sometimes they close down extra toilet blocks.... But the he great thing about France is.... If you don't like the look of a site.... Theres sure to be one not far away that's more your cup of tea!! Xx
Well what can I say, what a beautiful part of France. Brittany is certainly underrated. Campsite looks beautiful 😎x
Teresa Emmerson Absolutely! And it's not really that far! Gonna be one of our 'go to' places from now on I think....😀👍
Thank you, this is really helpful for us!
No problem Shirley! Thanks for watching. 👍🚐
Yet another gem. You're brightening my afternoon at work at least.
Alan Norman Nice to hear Alan!! 😀👍
We were on one pitch that needed 2 x 25m cables and our 2m "conversion lead" and it just reached. I have been on a site where the showers were communal as well, a bit like a football or Rugby changing room :-) Another lovely spot :-)
Desmond's Donders We keep saying we need to pack a second lead, just for those emergencies, it's just finding a place for it!! 👍😀
Hi and thank you, you do wonderful camp site tours, we have decided when we want to go anywhere we are just going to ask you to recommend somewhere
Ian Wharton 😁😁We just try and show them as they are.... don't use the word 'review',....hopefully we give enough info for you to decide if it's your cup of tea or not!! 😀👍
Haha Snap! We're starting our camping near Cap Frehal and then moving west towards Douarnenez this coming May! Great Video thanks....
Great stuff!! We'll be back over there in June! Have a fab time..... It's a gorgeous bit of coastline. ❤👍🚐

@@scottscoobyrichardson9519 Just got back from another Northern France adventure..... Can' t beat it!! 👍❤
Nice place to stay for a few days...especially for that price...great find👍
Jane: Life with Ken and Jane I know! A real bargain!! And we all love a bargain!! 😀👍
Beautiful coastline. Love that beach :)
Lucas Nott Hi there Lucas! Brittany has some beautiful spots,band some interesting sights! Went over to your channel....very interesting! You would love Brittany! There are so many neolithic sites.....stay tuned! A few are coming up in our vids shortly....including Carnac! The big daddy of them all!! 😀👍
I love that flowerpot car! SO COOL. That beach at the end is sublime too, I really love the sound of the waves. Waves like that are amongst my favourite sounds. I've hit the sub button and look forward to more of your travels. I make travel videos myself, love connecting with other creators.
lostboylooking Thanks for coming over and saying hi! Looks like you're on a trip of discovery through Europe. Happy travelling! 😀👍
It's my pleasure! :) I love meeting fellow content creators! And I am. I'm currently on a year long world trip of self-discovery. Currently in Europe, Belgium to be precise!
Nice one 👍😀🐾
One Man and His Whippet Dave Bertholini Cheers guys!! 😁👍
LOL we drove round that Island a couple of days ago with the citroen and flowers
Knaus Kampers 😁😁 Awesome! Hope you guys are having a great trip!! Safe travels!! 👍
This trip is getting better and better! If it is out of season when is 'the season' ... could not believe it when you said it was 6pm when you went to the beach....it looked very hot! How many miles on the van now?
dawn green Hi Dawn! To be fair, France had an early summer heatwave the same as the UK! Most Brittany campsites stayed off season until around the 7th of July...so plenty of opportunity for lovely sunshine. Ps we've done @ 15000 miles so far I think...without going to look!! 👍😀
nice video! can u camp with a tent in that site? Also can u drive to the beach from camp site? thankyou
Hi there. Thanks for watching. Haven't been to this site in a few years, but there was no issue with pitching tents last time we were there. The beach is walkable from the site...albeit a bit of a hill.... But you can drive down to the beach too...there's plenty of allocated parking available. 👍🚐
@@campervancapers6320 brill! thankyou! 🙂
Hi Guys! How did you find the wi-fi while in France and did you edit your excellent vlogs on your return home 🏠😃👍
MartinBoo! UK Hey Martin! To be honest, even if a campsite has free WiFi, it's pretty iffy. There are some Aldi stores that have free WiFi, and it's usually pretty good! I tend to use my own data plan on roaming just for the necessaries. I edit some of the vids whilst on holiday, if I get the chance, as I don't need the internet for that, but tbh , I do most of it when we get home...don't want to spend my holiday worrying about editing vids! All the vids are uploaded once we get home, as it takes quite a long time!! Hope that helps! 😀👍
hi there.....what month was this please?
Hi there! This was filmed at the end of June last year! 👍🚐😀
Thanks for reply...you mentioned that it was out of season in france...is end of June considered out of season?
Yes... And quite a few campsites consider the first week of July as out of season too! 👍😀
unlike the UK ripping everyone off, European campsites have one high season, which starts when the kids break up about 7th july the rest is low season or closed....
@@steveh3483 Absolutely! And the facilities are generally better too!! 👍
