  • Peaceful family site one kilometre from River Vilaine in the Morbihan
  • Plage de la Mine d’Or 15 minutes’ drive; Tréhiguier 10 minutes
  • Shop, bread delivery and pop-up food trucks; watersports on the river
Looking for a quiet, family-friendly base near southern Brittany’s Atlantic Ocean beaches and between two regional parks (the Gulf of Morbihan and the Brière)? Step forward Camping Les Rives de Vilaine, set one kilometre away from its namesake river and five minutes’ drive away from Férel, a pretty coastal village in the Morbihan department. Fine sandy beaches include those at Pénestin (15 minutes’ drive) and La Baule-les-Pins (45 minutes), and the site is also handy for adventures along the Guérande peninsula (half an hour). Shops are also easy to get to: the nearest shops are in Férel and Camoël, both five minutes' drive away, and Arzal, 10 minutes' drive away. Parents can relax; the low-key and leafy campsite is far from main roads and completely fenced off for privacy and safety. No need to get fussed about catering, either, as all sorts of foodie services are on hand, including communal barbecues, bread delivery (order the day before at reception), groceries in the on-site shop, pop-up food trucks serving regional galette pancakes (selected evenings) and an all-day snack bar. Books and games are available to borrow, there’s a play area for toddlers, and active families can hire bikes, play home ball, table football and ping-pong. Oh, and go kayaking on the River Vilaine too. Dogs are welcome here, and they’ll surely be happy to join you on rambles along the river to Arzal Dam (25 minutes’ walk) to admire the boats in the marina.

Power optional grass site (large)

Liked: The toilet block

Disliked: How far it was from the harbour / town and the overgrown pitches

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your feedback. We checked but the distances between the campsite and the marina and the city are indicated in the description.But we will see with the site Pitchup if we can be more precise.
Regarding hedges, we are no longer allowed to trim between March 15 and August 15 to preserve biodiversity. We start pruning towards the end of September because we also try to keep the calm of the campsite.

Local attractions

Organise family expeditions along walkways and cycle pathways around Férel (five minutes’ walk), with more than 70km of way-marked trails to discover, or turn inland for a family day at Brocéliande Forest (an hour and 10 minutes’ drive) to discover follies like Merlin’s tomb and other mythical sights connected with King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. When it’s time for Breton beach outings, pack buckets and spades and head for Plage de la Mine d’Or (15 minutes) or the sweeping crescent in La Baule’s Le Pouliguen Bay (40 minutes). Other options include quiet Plage de Loscolo (15 minutes), backed by cliffs and popular for sunset-viewing, and for more watery excitement, head for Arzal Dam (25 minutes’ walk) for sailing or canoeing. You can watch the fishing boats as they come and go from the harbour in the tiny, photogenic port of Tréhiguier (10 minutes’ drive), and for a taste of island life, hop on to the ferry from Quiberon (an hour and 20 minutes) to Belle-Île for coastal walks to the Grotte de l’Apothicairerie and seafood suppers in Sauzon. For a little history, head to the walled town of Guérande (25 minutes) or to pretty La Roche-Bernard (15 minutes) for narrow streets and a small marina with old cannons.
