  • Quiet and friendly site 25 miles from Roscoff, run by a British couple
  • By Lac du Drennec in a national park; watersports centre close by
  • Beach, lakeside restaurant and bar
What a splendid site. There's pretty much all you need at the serene and mightily scenic lakeside site of Camping Le Drennec in Brittany – 'idyllic', 'little paradise' and 'wonderful' are among the guest accolades here... If you're arriving from or on your way to L'Angleterre, you'll likely hurrah at the setting too, hidden away in a rural spot but only 45 minutes' drive from Roscoff. Guests of all ilks will be well pleased too to hear of Le Drennec's other fab features: a spectacular lakeside location beside the fishing haven of Lac du Drennec; surroundings in Finistère's Armorique Regional Natural Park; a beach right next door, and a hugely warm and friendly welcome from English owners Belinda and Andrew. Facilities include a tennis court, a covered outdoor area with picnic tables and a shop selling ice creams, snacks and basic provisions. The beach next to the lake has a play area, volleyball net and table tennis; guests can of course also use the sands as a launching point for lake paddles and swims, or amble over to the watersports centre two minutes' walk away for more active lake-based options. Fishing's a popular pastime in the lake too; just make sure you bag a local permit before casting off. Also next to the lake is the swish Au Lac bar and restaurant, with terrace and accompanying stunning view, plus a changing menu of homemade food. There's a communal barbecue and firepit if you'd rather sort supper or breakfast pitchside; bread can be ordered in advance for the following day and supplies picked up in local town Commana, 10 minutes' drive away. On site, there's a snack shack serving a selection of hot food at weekends in low season and every evening in July and August.

What customers say

This chilled, friendly spot's a cracker, close to a ripper lake for a dip, walk or watersports. Sites are usually roomy and tidy, many under shady trees. Campers loved the welcoming owners, tasty burgers from the snack shack, and fresh bread. While some facilities are a bit old-fashioned, they're always clean and work well. A top pick for a cruisy escape in nature.

Powered grass caravan site

Liked The campsite is located in an idyllic spot next to the lake, that has a man made beach with safe swimming. Theres also a nice lakeside restaurant and water sports for hire. You can order fresh bread for deliver the next morning. It's all in a beautiful setting surrounded by trees so many pitches are shaded. The owners are lovely and helpful and there's always someone on site. Toilets and showers are cleaned regularly. It really is a lovely site

MANDY W.

Powered grass caravan site

Liked We loved the campsite , pitch was very big so we had plenty of room for our camper van and adjoining tent. The couple who ran the site were really friendly and helpful, 2 minute walk to the lake which was great for swimming and watersports i.e paddleboards etc. There was also a snack shack on site which did nice food if you didn't want to cook or eat out.Also you could order croissants and baguettes for next day from the shop on site.

Disliked No dislikes.

Liked Relaxed atmosphere nice location and site has all needed amenities. We had burgers from the snack shack which were amazing home made and delicious. Ordered croissants and pan au chocolat for breakfast which was lovely.
Very close to the lake which has a level walk way all the way round and plant of beach areas to play and swim from lots of campers had brought paddle boards, canoes and there dogs.
Great first night on our road trip to Spain.

Local attractions

Lac du Drennec covers 110 hectares so is a stellar spot for watersports, lakeside walks and wildlife spotting; it's a famed brown and rainbow trout fishing lake too, with about 8,000 rainbow trout of up to 2kg added to the waters each year. Also close by, nearby riding stable can arrange hacks out into the countryside and natural park surrounds around the lake. For hiking further afield, Belinda and Andrew recommend wanders around the Monts d'Arrée mountain range: a top pick to hike up to is Saint-Michel Chapel on Mont Saint-Michel de Brasparts, accessible from Saint-Rivoal 10 minutes' drive away. The spectacular views from here include the Brittany peat bogs, the lake at Brennilis and countryside all the way to Morlaix Bay: bring your camera along. The north and west coasts of Brittany are within 30 to 45 minutes' drive.
