 Camping Le Moustoir  is about 2km from Carnac town centre , excellent site , facilities , swimming pools , childrens play area , bar , very well run and is  close to some fantastic beaches

I am eyeing this region too, thanks for the advice in advance.

Hi,

We have stayed at La Grande Metairie, a Castelles site which is quite literally accross the road from the stones and short bike ride into Carnac itself.

An excellent location and ideal for a young family.

Hi we are off to Carnac again. Same campsite for the last ten years. Its about a 1 mile from the town next door to La Grande Metairie, its a smallish site of about 250 pitches and we love it. French/English/Irish/Dutch people and it just feels very safe when we were bringing the kids up, now 11 and 16 years old.

Good luck

We've just come back from Camping Kervillor at La Trinite Sur Mer, and I agree with the above. Its a fine site with lots to do for kids. Its walking distance from the bustling port and less than five minutes drive to Carnac. We also had a look around some of the other local sites and Les Druids seems pretty nice too.

We've stayed in Carnac for years, absolutely love the place! For absolutely top notch camping on a v.large site with loads of facilities for the whole family (excellent water park, animals, pony rides on site, zip wires, bars, discos etc.etc.) then go to La Grande Metairie - you pay top whack too is the only downside!

We have also stayed at Le Moustoir which is definitely a star down from the Grande Metairie but is still very nice and is in amongst the standing stones still - so quiet and you can cycle out into the countryside etc.

With both of these sites you have to get in the car to go to any of the nearby beaches (of which there are loads to choose from - I recommend trying out Trinite sur mer and also travelling up to the Quiberon peninsula, where on one side it's really calm, and on the other there are amazing atlantic rollers for some awesome body boarding.. but I digress!).

Camping Les Druides is just a walk away from the beach, we haven't camped there preferring to stay up near the stones, but we had a quick look around and it looks very nice and well equipped though being closer to the town and beach I'm not sure how quiet it may be at night? Just a thought.
