L'Atlantique Holiday Park

1 reader found this review helpful

Overall I enjoyed our first camping holiday in France. The surrounding area is beautiful (quite rural so lovely countryside and villages with beautiful rustic houses) and a visit to Quimper and Concarneau is a must!! Breton pancakes are delicious and we bought cider by the bottle!
The good points about the campsite:
Onsite beach which is beautiful - white sand and very large so it was never crowded, we went nearly every day.
Nice outside swimming pool complex with slides which my five year old daughter loved, and shallower pool with small slide which my one year old liked. No indoor pool but when the weather was poor we usually went sightseeing, so no problem really.
Internet access at reception.
Not so good points:
Here and there the site seems a bit neglected and untidy - but this seemed especially around the outside operators caravans so it might be them.
The pitches are so close together that we moved twice before we could find one out where our car fit in.
Eurocamp staff was very poor at this site (long story) but better at another site we visited.
Overall a good holiday, worth it just for the surrounding area and the beaches.

Nice site, ideal for young families and great one for bikes. My girls age 9 and 10 had a ball cycling from mobile to pool to park and round again.
The pool was safe and although busy (everyone was demob happy after sun finally shone following 2 weeks of rain!) it managed to accommodate everyone.
Bar facilities could become a bit cramped at times and staff were not keen on cleaning up the tables although I suspect someone complained because the following night they were quicker off the mark.
Lovely beach within walking distance. A couple of nice cycling paths, although the locals are very cycle friendly so I took to the road a couple of times.
Only negative was it was too far away from the local town to walk and we like to get off the site in the evening. Although if you go around about the weekend of 25th August right outside the site is a traditional Breton Fair on a large scale. Like everything you speak as you find and we found it good on the whole.
Matthews Holidays were a disappointment; the accommodation was tired and we saw our reps the day we arrived and never again. Despite being 14 hrs late (we missed the ferry) the accommodation was not ready!

Excellent site, very good chalet to a high standard. Our kids especially loved the pool, and being able to hire a bike. We attended a couple of the evening entertainments - something for everyone, but they weren’t necessarily all our cup of tea.
Shop on site was adequate but a little limited - we preferred to use local supermarkets. Bar was good. Launderette over-priced.
Beach said to be 400m away from site. This is stretching the point a little - it’s ten minutes' walk from the edge of the camping area, fine if you’re fit - too far if you aren’t. Still, plenty of other lovely beaches within short drive. Beautiful countryside and lots to do.
Only downside was 2 days when there seemed to be endless power-cuts. The Eurocamp reps worked nobly trying to have it restored, but it seemed the electricity structure was insufficient for the demand being placed on it.

Very good park with lots on offer. There is a good overall atmosphere, thanks to a bit of entertainment for everybody.
The children’s park is really well done, with a large fishing boat to climb on, swings, slides and play animals make it marvellous. There are great sports facilities with table tennis tables, tennis and badmintons courts.
The pool is clearly the centrepiece of the whole site. With 3 pools (one deep, one medium and 1 shallow), there is somewhere for everyone. The water slides keep kids entertained for hours. The bar has a lot of atmosphere, playing host to football matches (on TV!), karaoke, and talent shows. The entertainment hall has something on offer every night except Sundays, featuring karaoke, talent shows, cabarets and magic shows. The magic show is one of the best I have ever seen.
The shop is restricted but bakes fresh bread and cakes. the launderette is over priced. The one thing that deeply lets down this park is the mini golf course. It is over priced and does not work. With direct access to a beautiful beach, through a nature reserve. Loads of great restaurants around. See below:
1)Pointe de Mousterlin- a formal and charming restaurant serving French Cuisine. 4 Star Rating (Logige de France). You may have to book. On the sea front at Mousterlin.
***10/10***
Loads of markets around. Great place for a stay. best tour operators are Canvas and Matthews with great pitches.
