Hi Sean, I've stayed at the Domaine des Ormes quite a few times and it's a brilliant site for older kids/teenagers. It can get pretty lively at times, but most of the entertainment happens down towards the entrance to the site which is well away from the touring pitches.  The pitches themselves are fairly spread around the site (which is vast, about 200+ hectares including the golf course, so even when it's busy you feel like you've got plenty of space).  If you book early enought it's worth trying to get a pitch in the demi-lune area, which is to the rear of the chateau and overlooks a small lake and the golf course.  That said, most of the pitches are a decent size, and I think they offer some 'Castels' pitches as well with garden furniture and a bbq etc.  The coast up towards St. Malo (and St. Malo itself) are wonderful, so it's very easy to get away for the day (about half an hour) and you're not far from Dinan (medieval walled town) or Mt. St. Michel. 

Don't get me wrong, if you're after a nice quiet getaway with a quintessentially French feel to it, then this probably isn't the place for you.  But if you're looking for somewhere that's handy for the Brittany ports, will keep the kids amused, and will give you the chance to explore some wonderful coast and towns, then I don't think you can go far wrong.

Hope this helps!
