Good for families

A very pleasant little site, ideal for a quiet, off-season holiday

We visited for 2 weeks at the end of June 2022 so our impressions are based on that. Pitches by the lake are now taken up by mobile homes (apart from 3 hard to access pitches). Fortunately these are on a lower terrace so some of the pitches in the middle of the site have partial views over to the lake. Most of the middle pitches would only fit a motorhome or a 2 berth caravan. There are some longer pitches suitable for caravans 7.5 to 8m. All pitches are delineated by hedges of varying density. The end of the site is taken up by mobile homes, many of which are owned by French families.A continental socket adapter would give more choice of EHU. Although only 6amps we had no problem keeping water on 1kw and running a microwave and kettle. The central water point was out of action but there are taps behind some pitches. We rarely had neighbours so I used the one behind ours as a “serviced” connection most of the time. There are 2 old wash blocks that were closed and possibly due for replacement. However, there is a brand new central block with individual cubicles for wc, shower and washbasin. There are some more behind reception. These were always very clean, though we used our on-board washroom most of the time. There are still washing sinks and a washing machine at the rear of one block and chemical disposal at the front. Rubbish and recycling are at the entrance. Reception is open from 9am and takes orders for bread and croissants. It also sells ice creams and a few tinned groceries.The swimming pool is very new and has lovely views over the lake. The water depth is on 3 levels from toddler splash to waist deep to 1.7m for swimming. We stayed outside school holidays so the pool was always quiet with no ball games or splashing. There were plenty of sunbeds.There is a small playground for young children and a lovely collection of goats in a pen. There are pétanque pitches but no other sports. The site is next to a large lake which formerly powered a tide mill. You can walk or cycle around the lake and then follow the lanes for 3km into La Trinite sur Mer. The only noise is occasional frantic barking from a distant kennels. This was never enough to upset us or spoil our sleep. Insects were very active when it was hot but there is no indication that the lake is a source of mosquitos. The final approach road is narrow but very quiet. Access is controlled by a barrier that requires a code to enter. Note that “taxe de sejour” is payable in cash when you leave. I recommend asking reception to lock the barrier open when you leave as it came down on my caravan while exiting! The location is ideal for visiting the beaches and the megalithic monuments of the area. There is a Carrefour City in La Trinite that sells almost everything you need. For the full gourmet supermarket experience, Leclerc at Auray is only 15 minutes away. It also sells (relatively) cheap fuel.
