Camping and mobile home holidays in Bénodet near Finistere in Brittany: If you have a holiday site relating to mobile home holidays or camping in Benodet and you would like to see it featured on this page then please email camp@campingmobilehomesholidays.co.uk

Weary Brit holiday makers may have travelled from St Malo or even further afield to reach Bénodet and start their camping or mobile home holidays, but there again, they just may have taken the ferry to Roscoff at the English Channel end of Brittany and driven the short distance straight down the page to arrive fresh as daisies and raring to go. The drive from Roscoff is not at all arduous and is mainly dual carriageway, skirting Quimper to arrive in Bénodet.

Bénodet is a seaside resort on the South coast of Brittany and close to major tourist sites, fishing harbours, interesting old towns, museums and natural open spaces. Bénodet has plenty of shops but has still been able to preserve it's own special atmosphere with any modern developments, and as a true french tourist area you will find that mobile homes abound there, though they are unobtrusive.

A stroke of good fortune has led us into contact with Dan and Maureen Jennings who are owner operators of their own self drive and self catering mobile homes at two sites in Brittany; namely Camping Port de Plaisance which is a member of the highly rated 4* Yelloh Village group of campsites very near to Benodet, and the Castel Camping - L,Orangerie de Llanniron site which covers 4.5 hectares in an attractive 17-hectare estate alongside the Odet river close to Quimper. The sites are both fully staffed but the owners Maureen and Dan are present on site all summer to give personal service to their clients.

Apart from the beaches and shops there are masses of things to do such as mooching round the Bénodet Marina, boat hire and canoeing, sea fishing, horse riding, mini golf, markets in most local towns and villages; all of these not a million miles away from your camping and mobile home site and all of these are for your enjoyment.

Just a short distance away is Quimper (pronounced Kemper) where there are even more shops for you to dent the plastic with, and if you fancy a historical day out then head South to Carnac where, apart from the loveliness of the town itself you will have the pleasure of seeing several thousand standing stones or Menhirs. Why they are there and how they actually got there is still a mystery.

Time to think of booking your 2009 mobile home holidays then?
