Camping Les Îles
Nestled on the windswept shores of Brittany’s Atlantic coast at 119 Route des Trois Iles in Pénestin, Camping Les Îles promises a quintessential French seaside holiday that families will treasure. This oceanfront retreat sits right at the water’s edge on the picturesque Bay of Pont-Mahé — a protected natural bay where salt air, coastal paths and wide sandy beaches define the landscape.
What makes Les Îles feel so special? As soon as you arrive, the sound of waves and the fresh Atlantic breeze set the tone for relaxation and discovery. With direct beach access to Pointe du Bile and the sweeping sand of nearby Mine d’Or beach, this campsite offers both leisurely seaside days and active family fun.
Onsite facilities cater to every age: a fantastic aquatic zone with heated outdoor pool, thrilling water slides, cozy loungers and splash areas for little ones, plus multisport fields, table tennis, tennis courts, pétanque and playgrounds. A family-friendly restaurant, bar, market and snack corner make meals and holiday essentials easy.
Who will love Les Îles most? It’s especially perfect for families with children aged 4–14, from toddlers splashing in the water play areas to teens enjoying games, beach soccer or guided walks along the GR34 coastal footpath. Parents will also love the serene seaside setting, magnificent sunsets and the chance to explore charming Breton villages nearby.

Insider tips from our Campsite Specialist
Camping Les Îles is consistently recommended by families for its unbeatable oceanfront setting and vibrant aquatic area with heated pools and slides — a highlight for both young children and teens. From experience, I often advise booking a pitch or mobile home on the seaside side of the campsite for uninterrupted views and the shortest stroll to sand and surf — perfect for quick morning dips. The water park area is most fun early in the day when crowds are lighter, especially during peak summer weeks.
Children aged 4–12 particularly enjoy the animations and mini-activities offered during school holidays, including treasure hunts, games and creative workshops that give parents time to relax with a coffee by the pool or take part in pétanque matches. Teenagers love the multisport field for friendly games of football or basketball, and the campsite’s location along the GR34 walking path makes short family hikes to hidden coves simple and scenic.
For food lovers, the onsite restaurant and snack bar serve local Brittany specialities, from fresh seafood to crepes and galettes — ideal after an active day. Guests also rave about nearby Piriac-sur-Mer, a pretty village with narrow streets, local ice cream and evening entertainment options.
If you’re planning day trips, a visit to historic Vannes with its medieval ramparts, or a boat trip on the Gulf of Morbihan adds variety to your holiday. La Baule’s famous beach and promenade are perfect for a full-day outing with kids who want a bit more seaside adventure. In spring and early autumn, the weather is warm and the beaches less crowded, making it a wonderful time for families to explore both the coastline and the Breton countryside.
