  • Small, peaceful campsite on the Breton coast, with access to the GR34
  • Five minutes' drive from Plestin-les-Grèves; 20 minutes from Lannion
  • Pet-friendly policies; 10 minutes' walk from a crêperie
If you're setting off to stay in the Côtes-d’Armor area, it’s fair to guess that you're probably hoping to see the sea… and see the sea you can indeed from Camping Les Hortensias, a simple site backing onto Porz Morvan Bay. This peaceful and scenic stretch of Brittany's Atlantic coast is dotted with excellent bathing beaches, the nearest of which is only a few hundred metres away. Can’t get enough of those coastal views? The ever-popular Côte de Granit Rose (Pink Granite Coast) is a few minutes away by car. Walkers, meanwhile, have direct access to the GR34 trail, and can check out 12 different hiking trails around the Douron Valley to the south, where gorgeous coastal valleys, cliffs and hillsides make for very varied days out. This site's large and well-defined pitches are surrounded by lots of greenery, making Camping Les Hortensias an excellent base for a few days of rural relaxation. Some basic facilities are available here (including accessible toilets and hot showers, a token-powered washing machine and a washing-up area). All the facilities of Plestin-les-Grèves are a five-minute drive away, and you can also walk into town in about half an hour. Handily, there’s a seaside crêperie halfway there should you need to stop and refuel en route, and there are often food trucks in town. Dogs are welcome here, and although Plestin-les-Grèves' beaches are for human guests only, Saint-Michel-en-Grève (10 minutes away) has a stretch of dog-friendly sand that may come in handy.

Bob S. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Electric grass pitch

Liked: Small green site with friendly warden. Decent sized pitches but levelling blocks useful. Easy access to GR34 and beautiful beaches. No shops within walking distance but bread can be ordered. Seafood shack, Le Petit Bain, about 20 minutes walk away via coastal path or beach at low tide.

Disliked: Facilities are reasonably clean but rather outdated and could do with an upgrade. No loo paper!

Theresa W. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Electric grass pitch

Liked: The coastal views are lovely from this peaceful site

Disliked: The whole site is tired and run down needing a major overhaul. There is no evidence of any regular maintenance or upkeep normally expected. Access difficult to site and to pitches for any vehicle other than a single, small car.

Local attractions

The shoreline is the star around these parts – and there are many gorgeous spots to seek out. Stay close to home for days at places like Plage des Sables Blancs (10 minutes’ drive) or venture a little further for walks around the rocky views of Le Trou du Diable (20 minutes). The pretty pink rocks and lighthouses of Ploumanac’h (40 minutes) and ferry trips to Île de Bréhat (an hour) may be a little further away, but they're worth the trip. There’s history around too: perhaps you’d like to poke around in the megalithic mausoleum Cairn de Barnenez (half an hour) or see a rather more stylish abode in the form of Château de Kerjean (50 minutes). Lannion (20 minutes) has lots of old half-timbered houses to see as you stroll – for the best view, climb the 140 Brélévenez steps to the top of the town. Bring yourselves right back to the here and now with a trip to Karaez Adrénaline (55 minutes) – the adventure park’s treetop courses, zipline and big jump will surely get your heart rate going. Back down at ground level, there’s a great maze for the small ones to explore too.
