port de plaisance campsite Brittany

Am travelling to France for first time with 3 children (11, 9 and 5). Staying at the Yelloh Port de plaisance campsite in Benodet. Has anyone got any experience of this campsite......good or bad?

Thanks

Hi Greenbod,

We are going here in August. No direct experience but it was recommended to me as a good full facility site. It is on the other side of the town to the beach but still a reasonable walk. It is very near the Supermarket and the filling station.

It was described as much better than Pointe St Gilles but not as nice as Camping du Letty (which has no pool but an adjoining beach with a sand bar that makes a nice swimming area).

We have been to Britanny before and the South West is my favourite area. Good climate, good food, nice beaches. Good choice of attractions if you want to drive a bit.

A good resource for advice is ukcampsite.co.uk.

Enjoy

Thanks PK.

Was beginning to worry that nobody seemed to know anything about this particular campsite! We%26#39;re travelling in June.........have been told the climate can be a little changeable, but hey, I%26#39;m from Ireland so it can%26#39;t be that bad? I was put off pointe St. gilles having read some bad reviews here and elsewhere. Glad to hear the southwest is good so thanks for that. Will definitely do some touring around.

No worries Greenbod,

Stayed at Ty Nadan near Quimperle, not far from Benodet, last Whitsuntide. Weather was great. We loved it except for nipper fallng off a pony and shattering his arm. We did find out that French medical care is excellent, but it did reinforce my sentiment that horses are for betting on, or when in France...

Attractions for the kids:

Oceanopolis in Brest - biggest aquarium in Europe

Concarneau

Quimper

Zoo de Pont-Scorf (very good)

Lots of great beaches

I%26#39;m sure you%26#39;l have a great time.

Hi - I%26#39;m also going to port de plaisance in june (the last week) - chose this campsite as had enough to do for kids whilst also being within walking distance of benodet.

Flying to Brest with Flybe %26amp; hiring a car for the week.

Here%26#39;s hoping the weather will be good!!!!! May see you there!!!!
