As a family of 5 (3 Children under 10) we visit france every year and camp, We stayed at Le Clarys Plage for the last 2 weeks of the school summer holidays in August 2011. The journey from Roscoff to Le Clarys Plage took around 4.5 hours. The directions on line arnt great so if you can get a sat nat then that will help.The directions the site give you upon booking will help but just for a little town called Orouet.
We arrived on site and checked in at reception the first impressions of the site was it was huge and rather untidy, shabby looking. We were shown to our pitch and were dissapointed to see it had no grass on it, it was a dust bowl. The pitch was flat but was just sand and mud, not great for comfort or cleanliness, Theres a tap and wash area thats shared with next doors pitch which is good, but annoyingly the electric hook-up is shared between 6 - 8 Pitches and required us to have a 20 metre lead! Also the lead connectors are French style 2 pin not 3 pin, which is also annoying but you can higher from reception for 30 euros deposit.
The site has over 400 pitches and was the biggest site we ever stayed on, theres not many tent pitches available roughly 10 and there all the same at this time of year.
The swimming pool is great but very small considering the size of the site, it opens at 10.30am each morning which is quite late when youve got young children, who are dying to get in the pool. The pools are warm, its lifeguarded and has 9 slides, a lazy river, 2 jacuzzi's a water play area and two small toddler pools. One indoor small pool and jacuzzi. The pool cleanliness was excellent but theres only one toilet within the pool complex. Theres a fast food bar offering good food at a reasonable price which overlooks the pool next door to the bar and entertainment area which is tiny.
Theres entertainment every night but its late, cramped and loud! your usual disco's, magician and clown shows but there always on too late. 9pm roughly.
The supermaket next door is a good 5 mins from the site but expensive, for your main essential shop theres another larger supermarket only 15 mins away in car for cheaper, better selection.
Also the beach is around 10 - 15 mins, the beach is clean, and massive, its lifeguarded and has toilets and food / snacks available
Theres not a huge amount to do outside the campsite so you will have to travel to the near by towns to find better shops, bakeries, pubs and activities.
Overall its a large site which its average rating, there is better and im sure theres definately worse.
Room Tip: If you stay here, stay in a caravan not a tent
