The Camper’s take
Updated June 2026
A 3-star municipal campsite nestled in the 100-hectare Gayeulles forest park, 5 km from Rennes city centre. Spacious hardstanding pitches with water and electricity. Bus C5 500 m away, metro 1.3 km. Excellent base for cycling to Rennes (20 min) or exploring Brittany. Staff consistently praised. ⚠️ Closed November–March (sanitary facilities unavailable except free dump station). Price varies (€21–41/night depending on season/services).
Highlights
- Spots are very spacious with water and electricity included
- Exceptional, peaceful nature park ideal for cycling and hiking
- Easy access to Rennes by bus (C5) or bike (20 min)
- Friendly and welcoming staff who are knowledgeable and helpful
- Great value for money for an urban campsite
Good to know
- Sanitary facilities closed for winter (Nov–Mar); only dump station remains open
- Toilets sometimes insufficient in high season or poorly maintained depending on the period
- Campsite access poorly marked from the road (looks like a park path)
- Toilet paper not provided; sometimes fee-based (cleanliness issues occasionally reported)
- Price seen as steep by some in peak season (€36–41)
Motorhome access : Narrow and poorly visible entrance, resembles a park path (labyrinthine). Once inside, easy access with stabilized spots. Exiting via the park can be tricky for large vehicles. No height limit mentioned.
