Information about camping resources in and around Dinard on the northern coast of Brittany, France 

Without a shadow of a doubt the best ferry port for the town of Dinard is St Malo because it is virtually next door and so close that you can't miss, in fact the two places are only separated by the river Rance. Other than that you could take the ferry to Roscoff and motor eastwards but we think that is rather extreme unless they have a serious discount on that route. Cherbourg, Caen and Le Havre are the other nearby options though it goes without saying that if you book your camping holidays through a tour operator or travel agent the price will almost certainly include the Dover/Calais ferry. In this case it is well worth checking the prices of nearer ferry crossings against the extra fuel and time you will use up by landing at Calais.

Though Dinard and the surrounding area caters for British and camping holidays in general it has ever been a place where the French flock to themselves, not for the peace and tranquility one supposes, but for the dramatic coastline, the beaches and the history of the region, and the food in that region comes highly recommended.

Now then, if you are abroad and wanting a decent restaurant it makes sense to follow the natives to see where they go, and so it is with holidays of the camping flavour as the French have long since been the world leaders in camping holidays. The beaches around Dinard are never far away as they surround the town on three sides, so for sailing, watersports and beach lovers it means that the coast is always within easy walking distance.

Dinard is rather like an upmarket seaside holiday destination – long stretches of sandy beaches, coves and cliffs to explore and seemingly endless esplanades with continental style cafés, architectural street lamps and gardens full of flowers and shrubs.

It you are on a self drive camping holiday then there are lots of places of interest for you to visit such as St Lunaire, St Briac, St Cast-de-Guildo and a host of other small towns and villages, many of which have camping resources in their own right.
