from 2 reviews Write review

Campsite Le Helles is situated some 300 m away from one of the most beautiful beaches in Brittany. This quiet three-star campsite is well maintained and has all amenities required for a lovely family holiday. Campers come here to enjoy peace and quiet, great walking and cycling routes and the glorious beach. You can hear the murmur of the sea from your camping pitch. The nearby Sainte-Marine is a picturesque harbour town.

Neat campsite

The level pitches on grassy fields are neatly laid out and separated from each other by low hedges. In low season you can pick your own spot. In high season you will mainly find young French families at Le Helles, as well as a few German and British guests. Le Helles focuses primarily on touring campers, but you will also find nice rental mobile homes here.

White sand

From the campsite you can hear the murmur of the sea. The reason for this is that you are only 300 m away from the beach. A forest path behind the gate at the back of the campsite leads you to the sea within five minutes. The clean beach, aptly called the ‘Rivièra of Brittany', consists of fine white sand. An ideal spot for swimming and watching the sailing boats go by.

Fun in the water

Le Helles has a large, heated indoor swimming pool with glass sliding walls. There is also a beautiful outdoor pool with surrounding sundeck as well as a heated toddler pool. The snack bar with its sociable terrace is located adjacent to the outdoor swimming pool.

Out into the open air

At the reception you will find comprehensive information about the region, sights and activities. The owners are familiar with the attractions and are happy to give you advice. The area lends itself particularly well to wonderful walks and cycle tours.

Stayed here a number of times, great pitches and consistently clean. Owner and family on site, very friendly and helpful, look forwards to returning in 2025

Well laid out campsite - spacious pitches but all grass and most sloping. Toilet/shower block access very dangerous from certain points - uneven ground/steps and badly lit in the evening. Toilets outdated and the ouside toilet paper dispenser had poor quality of paper - when it worked! Showers much better but hit and miss with hot water. Lovely area with good access by small ferry boat to Benodet.
