Are you looking for a seaside campsite in Brittany for your next vacation in Finistère? The 4-star Les Saules campsite is located in La Forêt-Fouesnant, in South Finistère, and offers a family-friendly setting for a change of scenery close to the sea. Our establishment meets the demanding criteria of the Atout France classification and has direct access to Kerleven beach.
Our campsite’s location is one of its main assets for vacations in Brittany. We offer direct access to the Kerleven beach, which means you can reach the sand and water in just a few minutes on foot from your accommodation. This Fouesnant beach is supervised in summer and has a gentle slope, making it suitable for families with young children.
From Kerleven beach, you can walk along the coast to reach the port of La Forêt-Fouesnant by following the coastal path. This proximity to the sea means you can enjoy water sports activities whenever you like, without having to take the car. Children can play safely on the sand while you relax in front of the Glénan islands on the horizon.
Our 4-star campsite is set in 4.5 hectares of grounds with disabled access. We offer different types of accommodation to suit the needs of every family, from couples to groups of up to eight people.
Our mobile homes sleep from 2 to 8, and all have an indoor shower, a spacious living room and a fully-equipped kitchen with microwave oven, fridge-freezer, hob and coffee maker. Each unit also features a covered wooden terrace with garden furniture, recliners and individual barbecue. The mobile homes are heated by electric convectors, so you can enjoy the campsite outside high season.
For those who prefer to bring their own equipment, our campsites measure a minimum of 100 m², in line with the 4-star campsite standards set by Atout France. Each pitch is bordered by hedges offering privacy and protection from the wind. Electricity is available close to each pitch. These spaces can accommodate your motorhome, caravan or tent for the duration of your stay in South Finistère.
We also offer two sea-view apartments for those looking for accommodation with more amenities.
Les Saules campsite’s aquatic area covers 1,000 m² and includes several pools suitable for all ages.
Children particularly enjoy the slide and pentagliss tracks, which add a playful dimension to the bathing experience. The water in the pools is heated, making swimming pleasant even on the cooler spring and autumn days in Brittany.
In addition to our water park, we offer a kids’ club during the high season, with sports activities, games and creative workshops. We also offer kayak and paddle rentals for those wishing to explore the Fouesnant coast from the sea. These facilities are part of our four-star service.
The 4-star Les Saules campsite is located in La Forêt-Fouesnant, a central position for exploring tourism in and around Fouesnant. Fouesnant is nicknamed “the Breton Riviera” and boasts 17 km of white sandy beaches spread between several seaside resorts such as Cap-Coz and Beg-Meil.
Just 6 km from the campsite, the town of Concarneau is well worth a day’s visit, with its fortified walled town and active fishing port. Concarneau’s beaches, including Plage des Sables Blancs, Plage de la Belle Étoile and Plage de Kernous, offer a variety of settings for swimming or strolling along the coastline.
The town of Douarnenez is around 40 minutes’ drive away and can be explored in a day. Ile Tristan, accessible at low tide, is home to an exotic garden and historic buildings. The Plomarc’h nature reserve offers hiking trails where you may spot Breton farm animals. Just 15 minutes from Douarnenez, the village of Locronan is one of France’s most beautiful villages, and well worth a visit for its well-preserved architecture.
The town of Bénodet, another South Finistère seaside resort, is close by, offering a variety of beaches during your stay. To visit the wider South Finistère region, the painters’ village of Pont-Aven, the Breton capital Quimper and the wild capes of the Pointe du Raz are less than an hour’s drive away.
Our campsite regularly organizes entertainment during the summer season, with dance evenings and festive events around the pool. These events create a friendly atmosphere among holidaymakers.
Beyond the campsite, South Finistère offers a wide range of activities. On sunny days, the Accro Bat park 20 minutes away offers tree-top courses for thrill-seekers. The Glaz Aventures amusement park and the Anse Saint-Laurent strawberry-picking garden are other options for a day out.
When the weather in Brittany turns rainy, the aquatic center Les Balneïdes, Ty Théâtre or Metropolis Bowling Laser in Concarneau provide sheltered entertainment. The latter offers bowling, escape games and other family-friendly indoor activities.
South Finistère also organizes numerous local events throughout the year: fest-noz, maritime festivals, bagad concerts and traditional markets punctuate the life of Breton communes. These events give you an authentic taste of Breton culture.
The classification of campsites in France is awarded by Atout France after a rigorous examination of around 200 criteria. To obtain and retain the 4-star label, a campsite must meet precise requirements regarding pitch size, quality of facilities and level of service.
The average size of a 4-star campsite must be at least 100 m², compared with 89 m² for a 3-star and 114 m² for a 5-star. Every pitch must have an electrical connection, and vehicle access must be secured at the entrance to the site.
Accommodation and communal areas must be kept in an impeccably clean and well-maintained state. The presence of a refreshment point, restaurant and bar on site is part of the obligations, as is the provision of a wifi connection for guests.
Reception staff must be fluent in at least two foreign languages, including English. A website must provide potential visitors with comprehensive information on the services on offer, the rates charged, the location of the campsite and enable them to consult customer reviews.
These criteria guarantee a uniform level of comfort and quality of service across all 4-star campsites in France. Les Saules campsite was awarded this classification after meeting all these requirements during an inspection carried out by an organization approved by Atout France.
Choosing a 4-star campsite represents a good compromise between comfort and budget for family vacations in Finistère. This level of classification guarantees the presence of quality facilities (heated swimming pool, wifi, restaurant) while maintaining more affordable rates than a top-of-the-range 5-star campsite.
At Les Saules, this 4-star rating translates into spacious, well-defined pitches, well-equipped, recently-built mobile homes, an extensive pool area, direct access to the beach and on-site services to simplify everyday vacation life.
The geographical location of our campsite in La Forêt-Fouesnant puts you in the heart of South Finistère, that part of Brittany that combines fine sandy beaches, a rich maritime heritage and unspoilt nature. The Glénan islands, visible from our campsite with sea view in Fouesnant, are 15 km offshore and can be reached by boat from several ports in the region.
