Camping Raguénès-Plage, South-West Brittany
You may well have heard of this little place and equally, you may not have a clue whereabouts it is, which is no disgrace at all because it is a hidden away village a few KM south east of Concarneau and slap bang on the south western coast of good old Brittany where so many British families take their camping holidays every year.
You're never far from the seaside here where there is a stunningly beautiful beach, a curving bay of glorious sand edged with dramatic rock formations and lots of rock pools as the tide goes out.
Nearby there is a small island, ingeniously named Ile Raguénès which could be worth exploring, as well as lots of little fishing ports which are still operating, so if you like mooching around olde worlde ports then this is a plus for you.
Camping Raguenes Plage is a quiet, family-run site with a fantastic beach just a short walk away from the site. Best suited to young families, there is a swimming pool, children's pool with mini waterslide, waterchute and a covered pool. They also have an onsite bar, shop and takeaway. To book this campsite, search France and Western Brittany using the booking engine on the right of this page.
 
Raguénès-Plage is a good old trek from most of the main ferry ports apart from Roscoff and St Malo, as it is situated just a tad south of Concarneau and near to the south western end of Brittany. Probably the best ferries for this area other than Roscoff are St Malo, Caen and Cherbourg. Getting there is absolutely no problem because the French roads are excellent, relatively traffic free on the dual carriageways, and above all they are well sign posted.
From Le Havre, Caen, Cherbourg head for Avranches then St Malo, heading down the N137. You will soon pick up signs for Vannes in Brittany, so follow that sign and avoid Rennes entirely. Further on you will eventually pick up signs for Quimperle and then Concarneau. Don't go to Concarneau, but head for Quimperle and then Pont-Aven which is on the river Aven would you believe? From Pont-Aven take the D77 road to Raguénès-Plage.
