  • Small, simple Brittany site 10 minutes’ drive from Vannes
  • Gulf of Morbihan 20 minutes’ drive; Château de Josselin 40 minutes
  • Level pitches; barbecues are welcome on site
If you're in the market for a serene and simple place to stay in the Brittany countryside, take a look at Chez Stéphane. Your host here is indeed the accommodating Stéphane, and you'll be setting up in the large grassy garden that wraps around his home – take your pick from south-facing spots and cooler corners in the shade of ancient oak trees. Wherever you decide to place yourselves, take a moment to enjoy the splendid surroundings of this small-scale site, and prick up your ears: you might be able to detect the calls of pheasants and woodpeckers, plus a joyful morning chorus. When your hosts are at home, you’re welcome to use their modern toilets and bathroom (with shower and bath), perhaps leaving a little tip to show your appreciation. They also give you access to drinking water, electricity and the option to use their washing machine (for an additional fee). Barbecues are allowed on site, and you can gather all the necessary supplies (plus anything else you might need) in Saint-Avé (five minutes' drive) or Vannes (10 minutes). Exploring Vannes is a must while you're here, but handy access to main roads (particularly the nearby N166) means you can also easily get out and about to explore the Brittany countryside and coast, including the fabulous beaches and islands of the Gulf of Morbihan (20 minutes away). There are also lots of lovely walks and cycle rides in the area around the site, so bring your boots and bikes along.

Primitive grass and gravel campsite

Liked Sehr schöner Platz im Garten eines Privathauses. Stephan ist ein sehr offener, freundlicher und seinen Gästen zugewandter Gastgeber. Gerne zu einem Gespräch bereit.
Vannes ist gut zu erreichen (Fahrrad) und lohnt sich.
Strom und sanitäre Anlagen haben wir an Bord

From the manager: Merci beaucoup pour ce commentaire.
Ce fut aussi un plaisir de vous rencontrer et d'échanger avec vous.
A bientôt peut-être

There was electric and toilet on site too

Mélina P.

Primitive grass and gravel campsite

Liked La convivialité, le calme, la nature autour, Stéphane le best.
C’est plus un jardin qu’un camping mais à mon sens c’est encore mieux. On a le temps de discuter (Stephane est super sympa d’ailleurs), on peut s’installer où on veut et on n’est pas embêté. Des toilettes, des prises électriques et une salle de bain sont à disposition donc aucun soucis!

From the manager: Vous êtes aussi un couple très sympathique, discret, respectueux avec qui on ne peut que bien s'entendre.
Ce fut un plaisir de vous accueillir dans mon jardin et j'espère qu'on se recroisera un jour peut être.

Le calme de l'emplacement et la situation , la gentillesse du propriétaire…

Neil J.

Primitive grass and gravel campsite

Liked Very friendly welcome (especially if you are Welsh!).
Peaceful rural area.
Easy bus ride into Vannes which is well worth a visit.
Good basic facilities - toilet in Stephane’s house available at all times and shower upstairs between 9am and 9pm.
Electricity needs a French adapter to use

From the manager: Thank you for this review.
It was a real pleasure to welcome you in my garden.
You will always be welcome if you come back in Vannes.
See you.
Stéphane.

This isn't really a campsite. It's just a backyard of a private house.

NIKOLAY V.

Primitive grass and gravel campsite

Liked I it cheap.

Disliked The main problem is the toilet. A small and inconvenient toilet. And there is only one. You have to get to it through the shed in the owner's house. The second problem: it is very difficult to find a flat place on the tent site.

From the manager: Hello Nikolay, I am a bit disappointed reading your review that I find unfair for several reasons.
- The toilet and bathroom are normal size (see photos on my profile). It is true that you have to go through the garage to get there and enter my house. But this is the very principle of the concept of “camping in a homestay”.
- Regarding the pitch : I remind you that I contacted you through several ways before you answered me. I had sent you photos by Whatsapp of a flat pitch (behind the house) but you did not choose it !
I offered to park your car in the garage but you parked it on the lawn. As your pretty picture of my garden shows, you have made the choice to park your car on a second pitch, perfectly flat this one, and put your tents in the slope; why??? It was your choice.

I would be happy to welcome you or your friends again to make you enjoy my garden.
Stéphane

Local attractions

You’ll want to start in Vannes (10 minutes' drive), exploring the ancient ramparts, visiting the cathedral and strolling through the cobbled streets among half-timbered houses. Look out for street art too, and treat yourselves to some local produce from one of the markets. After that, catch up on some more of the area's history at the pretty village of Rochefort-en-Terre (half an hour), take in the classic turrets of Château de Josselin (40 minutes) and step much further back in time at the various Neolithic megalith sites around Carnac (half an hour). Kids not really into all the history? They might be after a trip to Parc De Préhistoire De Bretagne (35 minutes)… And of course, you can't come to this area without visiting a beach or few. A couple of highlights are Plage de Mousterian (20 minutes), with its spectacular sunsets, and Plage de Conleau (25 minutes), a shallow artificial basin that’s popular with families.If you’d like to see a bit more, take a boat trip through the islands from Vannes or choose one of the walking/bike trails along this gorgeous bit of coastline.
