The water park at Les Pins campsite in Erquy

Head over to the water park and you’ll discover a vast outdoor complex. The heated outdoor swimming pool is a great place to relax, as you soak up the Breton sunshine and slow things down a little beside the spacious pools.

But you’ll soon sense a more energetic vibe – with peals of laughter, cascading waterfalls and waterslides that beckon irresistibly. The kids will soon be hurtling down them over and over again, their enthusiasm infectious enough to draw the grown-ups in too.

All around the pool, the solarium terrace offers some peaceful respite, where you can kick back, relax and savour Erquy’s languid summer days.

Swimming is at the heart of camping life. And at Les Pins campsite, you can dive whenever the mood strikes, regardless of conditions outside. That’s because there’s also a covered bathing area, offering a very different vibe from the outdoor pools.

First, step into the large, heated swimming pool, flooded with light and ideal for a proper swim or simply unwinding in the water. Then make your way to the indoor paddling pool where your tiny tots can explore the water safely in reassuring surroundings.

The whole space feels soothing and sheltered, perfect when the weather’s being fickle or when you simply fancy somewhere calmer.

Everyone loves the water park but the real beauty of a campsite in Brittany is that the sea is never far away, so you can enjoy both! Just a ten-minute stroll along a level footpath through the pines brings you to Le Guen beach  – a sweep of fine sand bordered by coves, with those shifting colours that define the Côte d’Émeraude. Perfect for a quiet swim, beach games or a stroll along the shore.

For a change of horizon, you’ll find other beaches further along – small, sheltered bays alternating with sweeping sandy crescents. Walk on and the landscape turns wilder and more rugged, gradually unveiling the dramatic coastline and light that announce Cap d’Erquy.
