Camping La Fontaine ^★★★

We camped as a family with 3 children 7-11 years for 6 days in August. The best thing about this campsite are the friendly owners who were on hand to offer help with where to go, or running the reception or the little bar in the evening.

It's a mixed campsite with motor homes, tents and fixed mobile... homes. To my surprise, it worked very well. We camped at the far end of the field in a quiet spot, so furthest from the facilities and evening noise, but with lots of room. All flat pitches.

The facilities with showers, sinks for personal washing, open sinks for dish washing and great little washboard sinks for clothes washing were kept clean throughout. And a dedicated sink for shellfish washing! Lots of hot water too. There were laundrette facilities which we didn't need.

The children loved the swimming pool, little playground and being able to cycle around the campsite. We loved being able to order fresh pastries and bread each day for an early morning delivery to reception.

Did wonder what was happening the first evening, when there was very loud music for a good hour early evening. Turned out that it was a zumba class, which the children found very funny. There is the odd exercise class and the bar is open every evening, one evening with a local Breton band, but this is a small family place, not a big commercial outfit. We don't usually go for campsites with lots of facilities and the expectation of noise, but the entertainment added a bit of character without being too intrusive, at least where we were camping. The reception sells a few bits and pieces, but you need travel to the closest shops on the outskirts of Guerande.

Great stay, great place to travel out on visits in the area and hope to go back some time.

We have had a fantastic stay at Camping La Fontaine. The site is very well run, with large 'emplacements', most are nearly big enough for two caravans on UK sites, and there is a lovely heated swimming pool. The toilet block is scrupulously cleaned at least twice a day, and the site owners are just brilliant.... We needed to see a doctor, and they arranged the appointment, and drove in front of us to the Cabinet Medicale a few miles away. We have also enjoyed seeing the area, with great visits both inland and on the coast, including the salt marshes of Guerande, and the beautiful walled city itself, where we found excellent mid day food at a really good price. Recommended.

We have been coming here every year since the current owners took over and the site has improved more and more until it is the best yet. Even with it's own pool.

It is just outside the beautiful medieval town of Guerande but also has all the larger stores such as Le Clerc and Lidl on the ring road....

A cycle track at the rear of the site leads to quiet roads leading to Guerande, the coast or La Briere (in land wetlands, with beautiful villages). None are too far away.
Slightly further, you have St Nazaire , La Baule and La roche St Bernard. .. fantastic!

Will continue returning here for the foreseeable.

Even if you don't have a touring caravan you could book a mobile home for a week.

We have just spent two fantastic weeks at this site, it is small and really safe for young children (ours are 4 & 7) they cycled round and round all day and enjoyed the pool, which is small, safe and super clean and tidy. The toilets and shower facilities are immaculate too! Our hedged pitch was huge,... big enough for our large tent, car and still space for the boys to play tennis! The campsite owner and his wife again were really friendly and helpful, giving us a personal guided tour of the site and its facilities and then a detailed guide of what to do in the area. There is loads, firstly the beautiful local town of Guerande, great beaches a short drive away, Batz sur Mer, Pornichet, beaches around St Nazaire. The site is in a perfect location to explore the local area, we didn't once go back to the same beach in the whole 2 weeks. Thank you for a great holiday

You would think we were long friends judging by the warmth of the reception we received at this campsite. My wife was taken on a guided tour by the campsite owner’s wife while I had the local town of Guerande explained to me with the help of a map. The campsite facilities are excellent but remember... to take your own toilet roll to the toilet as well as soap!
A superb place to stay, either overnight as we did or longer. Thoroughly recommended and Guerande is an interesting town too!.
