  • 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.

Le Jardin powered grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked: Un petit camping au bord du lac, en pleine forêt, parfait pour une nuit sur un parcours de randonnée. L'accueil est simple, les modalités de réservation et d'accueil le sont aussi, et c'est un vrai plus. On se sent bien et nos voisins étaient tous adorables.

Petite Foret primitive forest floor tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked: Het schone toilet Met bril enMet wcpapier! En schone douche. Het is oud maar wel schoon! De ruime plaats en het assortiment van noodzakelijke dingen die je kan kopen. Bovenal geen dure camping. En gratis vogelenzang!

Disliked: Misschien een soort kastje voor je telefoon op te laden. Maar dat is ook alles!

Le Jardin primitive grass tent, campervan or trailer tent campsite (lake view)

Liked: I chose this site for one night as it was in a nice location on the way to roscoff. Nice garden and wooded area. Proper facilities and use of a shelter if needed.

Disliked: Shower in the morning wasn't hot, although was run for a long time to get it warm enough to use.

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.
