Thank you very much - I did a search on here but couldn't find it!

Just wondered if anyone has been since the pools were updated?

Only bought an ice cream from the shop! We stayed at Port de Plaisance which is on the outskirts of Bénodet away from the beach. The area is great. Pointe St Gilles is much nearer the beach / prom area of Bénodet.

If you want to stay in Benodet I would strongly recommend Camping Du Letty. We stayed there for a number of years in succession. A lovely site right on the beach of a small river estuary where it meets the sea. Although large it is divided up into smaller "paddocks" by mature hedges. It has a good mini-market, 2 bars, a gym and a library but it is quiet and peaceful.

Although I have not stayed at Pointe St Gilles I have visited and do not think it is half as good as Du Letty. I found it to be rather regimented and crowded. The nearby beach is not the best either. Have a look at the reviews for Du Letty here here.

My Du Letty review includes a list of things to do in and around beautiful Benodete wherever you stay.

Best wishes

Adding to that comment - I found from walking around that Point St Gilles that it was a bit too frantic for me.

You have - as mentioned - Du Letty which is right next to the tidal inlet and the beach with good facilities.

You also have my personal favourite Camping Du Poulquer - which is closer to the Benodet town centre, main beach and other facilities + it has swimming pool.....

I've posted a review from last summer.
Benodet is a nice seaside resort (rained a lot while we were there though!) - the ice cream shop on the front near the casino is fab!!  The boat trip along the Odet was nice too.

The pools at LPSG are good - there is a retractable roof which is good if you get bad weather - great for little kids, with slides and stuff, but not much good for bigger kids or adults as it just isn't deep enough anywhere.  I love a pool on my hols, but I didn't even bother going in.

The toilets and showers (main block) are excellent, but the cafe/bar area leaves quite a lot to be desired - atmosphere = zilch - but again, if you've got small kids there is regular entertainment for them in the evenings. 

The site itself is dominated by the statics & ready-erected tents - but perhaps I got that impression because I was staying in a static (never again!), the 'own unit' areas may have been nicer.

If safety and security is your thing, the owners insist on tagging everyone with a plastic wristband on arrival - IMHO a total waste of time and an irritating annoyance.

Du Letty, by contrast, with its pretty little hedged off seafront pitches, quaint little bar area and sheltered beach, seemed a little peaceful paradise.  If I was going back to the area, thats where I'd go!
