We are looking for a site within a 30 minute drive of Quimper and up to 15 mins from the coast. We like a little entertainment some nights but not the non-stop evening entertainment team stuff that inevitably includes karaoke until midnight.
We like Ty Nadan and may go back there but obviously it doesn't fill the distance criteria. We loved Chateau lez Eaux in Normandy and would love to find somewhere like that.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Pors Peron?
Not far from Quimper and you can walk to the beach.

Les 2 Fontaines is a nice family site 30 mins South East of Quimper (just past the small town of Nevez) with good facilities including a par 3 golf course, and 1km walk from a beach. If it's a bit too busy, just down the road and slightly closer to the same beach, and with good sea views, is the smaller and more laid back Camping De L'Ocean. We stayed in the first one and explored the second, we would be quite happy to go to either.

I like the location of the two you mentioned arthurdent. Would you mind telling me what time did the evening entertainment go on until at Les 2 Fontaines and what did it consist of?

Loupey, Les deux Fontaines is in a few Eurocamp style brochures, you might get some info on their reviews on their websites.

Take a look at Camping La Pointe at Chateaulin. It's a smallish low key site included in the Cool Camping online guide as well as well reviewed here. There's no pool or big site entertainments but the owners do a few optional get togethers, pizza/ moules nights, that sort of thing. Pitches are good size and the facilities are clean and there's plenty of them. It's walking distance from the town which has regular markets and a decent selection of restaurants. Really nice spot.

A big fan of Pors Peron too, off there again in June myself. No 'Entertainment' but a great relaxing & quiet site near a lovely beach.

Sorry I really don't remember - but that probably means it wasn't intrusive or overly late. To be honest I've rarely had a problem on a French site with late entertainment, it tends to end by 11.
We found it a great location, less than 30 mins to all of Quimper, Concarneau, Benodet and Pont-Aven but close to beaches and rocky coast.

A campsite website which says that the bar is open until midnight is a warning sign for me !

Should also add that since we were there in 2013 it has gone under the Sandaya chain so that might have changed their hours of entertainment anyway.

Thanks again! My husband has a real problem with the full on entertainment sites and the kind of people that can be attracted to a bar that's open until midnight. We also really want a pool because the children love to swim.
