Le Bois Coudrais
Europe France Brittany Ille-et-Vilaine
‘Turn left at the crossroads and then look out for the drapeau Britannique on your left,’ grinned a helpful couple. There’s a French flag flying outside the site, too, but it’s mostly British and Dutch campers who appreciate the friendly, family run, traditional camping here. At night the peace and quiet is only disturbed by leaves rustling in the poplars, but the myriad birds deliver a dawn chorus, so if the other kind of twittering disturbs you, then best drive by.
The reward for getting up early is the sweet smell of fresh croissants delivered before 8am, and perhaps a chance to visit the goats, chickens, and ducks. Children so enjoy petting and feeding them that the animals need to be put on a diet come summer’s end. In high season the owners bake cakes and make quiches, lasagnes, or salads, so campers can eat outside the bijou café- bar next to the pool. Inspiration and activities are on a map showing Mont St-Michel 20 minutes in one direction and the fairy-tale feudal castle at Fougères, with towers and turrets in all the right places, 35 minutes in the other.

Sweet little campsite
Response from Le Bois Coudrais
Thanks for the comments, however we would like to stress the following for others who may read the review:
The pool is heated . During peak season, if the thermostat drops to below 25.5 degrees, the heating switches on and heats to 27.5 degrees, or more on a hot day. With the heating, the lowest the pool can drop to is 25.5, unless the weather is unseasonably cold.
We feel that all the photos shown are a good representation of each of the 3 camping areas. The main photo on our advert shows the top camping area where each pitch is separated by hedges for privacy. The smallest pitch on the top camping area is approximately 120 m sq, with many being a lot bigger, we don't feel that they are either small or exposed.
There are pitches with electric hook up in all three areas of the campsite. Our regular guests can request their favourite pitch, which is one of the reasons we have so many repeat customers.
Happy Camping!

wonderful, family friendly campsite
Lovely, family friendly campsite in the heart of the region. We only used it for 3 nights stop-over before getting the return ferry from St Malo but would gladly have stayed longer. Kids roam around all day in complete safety - it's small but that adds to the charm, and between the playpark, animals, swimming pool and well stocked games/library they are kept more than happy. Pitches are large and everything is kept clean and is obviously well looked after. Best of all though is the atmosphere...after 3 weeks on some really lovely campsites around France - this was a very relaxed "digestif" before our journey home. Highly recommended :-)
excellent
We have stayed at this campsite on many occasions and have loved every time, it is very well maintained, well run and a lovely haven of quiet country life. the hosts can't do enough for you, the pool is lovely and so are the surroundings. Children love to visit the animals which keep them amused for hours. We will definately be back for more visits and look forward to 2015
Third Visit
This July we visited le Bois Coudrais for the third time. That in itself speaks volumes for this site. Super owners, large pitches and lovely atmosphere. Also ideally placed for the ferry port at St Malo. We are already planning to visit again next year!
The Perfect Family Camping Holiday
I booked this site as I wanted a small friendly site and that is exactly what we got with much more. It is beautifully maintained, the pool and pool area are spotless, the café a life saver and Claire and Philippe an absolute joy!
This is the ideal camp site for families with young children. It is big enough for them to feel like they have independence but small enough to make lots of friends and be safe.
the location is rural but close enough to some towns with all the necessary facilities.
Also it is within easy reach of some beautiful beaches too.
A wonderful experience!
Great for families
Fantastic camp site for families, great location with loads to do, all in all a fantastic 8 nights and we wish we had booked for longer.
