Opposite our establishment, the Glénan islands form a maritime horizon that changes with the tides and the seasons. We’re also just 10 minutes from the Port de la Forêt-Fouesnant, the legendary harbor from which sailboats competing in long-distance races such as the Vendée Globe and Transat Jacques Vabre set sail. An opportunity to catch a glimpse of these giants of the seas as they prepare or set sail.
Direct access to the beach is a real plus for enjoying family time at any time of day. At Les Saules campsite, you don’t just see the sea from your terrace: you can reach the sand in just a few minutes’ walk. This proximity changes the rhythm of your vacation, allowing you to spontaneously go back and forth between the campsite and the beach.
Families particularly appreciate this practical configuration. No need to take the car or walk long distances with all the beach equipment. Children gain independence and parents peace of mind. Between two swims, you can return to your accommodation for lunch, take a siesta in the shade of the pines, then head back to the beach in the late afternoon.
To discover more of Fouesnant’s coastline, the GR 34 runs directly alongside our campsite. This long-distance hiking trail, also known as the “Sentier des Douaniers”, crosses the whole of Brittany, revealing secret coves and ocean views. An early-morning or sunset stroll offers remarkable light, particularly appreciated by photographers. The golden hour, when the light becomes softer and warmer, transforms coastal landscapes into natural tableaux from which you’ll bring back beautiful memories.
Easy access to other beaches in the Fouesnant commune, such as Beg meil, just a stone’s throw from the campsite. Each has its own character: fine sandy beaches, sheltered coves or wild expanses. This diversity allows you to vary the pleasures and discover different atmospheres throughout your stay.
We offer different types of accommodation to suit everyone’s needs. Traditional camping pitches, spacious and shaded, allow you to set up your tent, caravan or motorhome in a natural environment. Some have a direct view of the sea, offering the pleasure of going to sleep and waking up facing the ocean.
For added comfort, our mobile home rentals combine modern facilities with a privileged location. Several models are available, including 8-person mobile homes for large families or groups of friends. These accommodations feature wooden terraces where you can enjoy meals overlooking the sea, or an aperitif while watching the seabirds.
Living to the rhythm of the tides becomes a fully-fledged experience from our accommodations with direct access to the beach. The spectacle is constantly changing: high tide licking the rocks, low tide revealing foreshore and puddles teeming with marine life, lights changing according to the time of day and the weather. This permanent connection with the ocean characterizes the experience of a sea view campsite in Brittany.
Kerleven beach and its sheltered bay are ideal for a variety of water sports. We offer kayak and paddle rentals right on the beach, with no need for complicated reservations or travel. These boats let you explore the coast from a different angle, reach coves accessible only by sea, or simply glide along the water with the whole family.
Kayaking offers a gentle approach to the marine environment. Paddle at your own pace along the indented coastline of South Finistère, observing the rock formations sculpted by the waves, and approaching the islets where birds nest. Stand-up paddling is suitable for beginners and advanced paddlers alike. Balancing on the board gives you a pleasant sensation and helps you build up your muscles while enjoying the maritime setting.
The beach is also an ideal playground for other family sports. The sand provides soft ground for morning jogging, yoga in front of the waves, fitness exercises or ball games. These physical activities take on a whole new dimension when they take place facing the ocean, with iodized air and the sound of the waves as a natural accompaniment.
In summer, the weather conditions in South Finistère allow you to enjoy the beach and the sea to the full. The water gradually warms up, making swimming enjoyable for the whole family. The tides punctuate the days and offer different experiences: swimming at high tide in deep water, exploring the rocks at low tide, and fishing on foot for the curious.

Each section reveals a different atmosphere, and provides an insight into the intimate relationship between Brittany and the Atlantic Ocean.
The Glénan archipelago, visible from our sea-view campsite in Fouesnant, is well worth a day trip. These islands with their turquoise waters evoke tropical landscapes in the heart of Brittany. Boat crossings leave from the port of Beg-Meil or Concarneau during the summer season. On site, you’ll discover white sandy beaches, a renowned sailing school and a protected natural environment.
Our geographical position between Bénodet and Concarneau makes day trips easy. Bénodet, a family-friendly seaside resort, offers walks along the Odet and a variety of water sports.

These two complementary towns will enrich your stay in South Finistère.
