Not to be confused with "Camping du Menhir", which is not far away, but which I haven't visited. This site was generally clean and tidy. Space for probably about 70 touring caravans or tents, but also having maybe 30 static caravans and some pre-erected Keycamp tents. Pitches varied quite a bit in size. All had some degree of shade. Most had electricity (french sockets) and nearby water. There's not a lot of unused space on the site, so children typically played in the roads. Two toilet/shower blocks, which were adequate in number for the site, but in need of some maintenance and better cleaning (particularly in the opinion of my wife, so perhaps the ladies facilities were worse than the men's). Two washing machines and two dryers, which were fairly continuously in use. Outdoor swimming pool, depth varying from about 1.0 to 1.8m. Separate paddling pool and two flumes into their own pool. Crazy Golf, Table Tennis, Pool Tables, Tennis, Volleyball, Boules (Pétanque), Cricket (!) and a manual ten-pin bowling lane. On-site shop was small, and sold only a small range of essentials, including fresh bread. Restaurant also small, but didn't often seem crowded, Perhaps this was because other people thought like us that it was expensive for the quality and quantity of food. They also did take-away versions of most of their menu, including whole chickens, and chips. Bar open in the evenings, but no entertainment. The site generally quietened down around 11pm. The site seems to have a policy of segregating nationalities, as there were clear national groupings in various parts of the site. In our view, this was a shame, as we would have preferred more of a mixture. Most of the staff were capable of speaking basic english, but were happy to be patient with my french. The beach signposted from the site (Plage de Kervert) is about a mile away. It has a municipal campsite adjoining it. Whenever we visited or went past it, it stank of sewage - whether this was the campsite's fault, the beach's fault or neither, I don't know. At an equal distance, due south down the road, is the Plage de Govelins, which was much pleasanter. This beach has sand above high water mark, then pebbles, then sand again near and below low water. The pebbles slope moderately, but the sand is almost flat, so at and near low tide, there was a lot of ankle- to knee-deep water to play in. Lifeguards at peak hours, café/ice cream hut, and one smelly toilet.
