"Without question the best campsite on the Nantes-Brest Canal" - Lonely Planet Guide.

 

We will be open from 1st MAY till 30rd September 2024, Can't wait to see you !

 

Set on the bank of the Nantes-Brest canal, Gouarec campsite is one of the prettiest in Brittany. Not only is it right on the canal towpath, but also at the junction with the V6 cyclepath (see map) – both being part of the Velodyssee/Eurovelo 1 cycle route and has been the base for our  French cycling holiday company - Breton Bikes for over 30 years (when it was known as Camping Tost Aven). Our prices are simple - just 7.50€ per adult 3€ per child (under 18) per night. It doesn't matter whether you have five showers a day, arrive with a tiny tent or a 40' motorhome - the price is the same. The only extra is electricity connection at 4€ - use of our camping car/caravan emptying station is free.

The campsite itself is large (8 acres for only 100 emplacements) and grassy with a real feeling of an old-fashioned 'campsite' rather than a parking lot for mobile-homes and chalets. To this end we have installed vintage caravans, canvas tents for accommodation a little out of the ordinary. For those looking for bricks and mortar accommodation there is our two Gites in the village from 350€ a week in August. Besides all this there are acres of space for your own tent, caravan or camping-car.

Set on an island, bounded by the canal and the river D'Oree the campsite is perfect for relaxed canoeing, fishing or just watching the wildlife. Obviously many people will wish to cycle in the area and the campsite maintains a large fleet of cycles, electric bikes and tandems which are ideal for exploring the area. You also get the chance to hire a canoe or rowing boat, and uniquely we have a 2CV for hire that would make a very special day out;-)

Gouarec itself is a small Breton village which has all you might need – three restaurants, a small supermarket, baker, banks, garage, post-office and large swimming-pool – in fact all you need for your holiday and all within 500m of the campsite – you really don't need a car.

In the immediate area you'll find lots to do, and for those wanting to explore wider afield the fact that Gouarec is the geographical centre of Brittany means that almost every part of the region is within a 90 minute drive.
