The Classic range gives you two bedrooms, a kitchen with hob and fridge, a shower room and a covered terrace with outdoor furniture. Premium models add air conditioning and a dishwasher. All accommodation comes with parking next to your pitch.
The Monts d'Arrée mountains are right on your doorstep - brilliant for walks with proper views across the moorland.

Le Helles Campsite suits families wanting a straightforward holiday in rural Brittany without the crowds. You get a functional pool, comfortable accommodation and easy access to forests, mountains and the northern Brittany coast - all at a reasonable price for the region.
