This is a large commercial site a short walk or cycle ride from the village centre where there are plenty of nice restaurants to sit and enjoy the view of the sea whilst watching the wold go by.
Without doubt this site’s star attraction is the pool complex; superb indoor and outdoor pools with a separate toddler’s play area. Pitches are fairly level grass and separated by hedges. You can choose the size of the pitch you want, and how close to the sea (including right up to the beach).
We chose a large pitch just back from the sea – we had a good view of the sea and the cooling breeze was very welcome. The site beach is not particularly good for swimming but there are better beaches nearby if you like to swim in the sea. Access to the site is good, and most pitches have some shade from the numerous mature trees dotted around the site.
Sanitary facilities are plentiful and clean, with all the additional facilities (laundry, ironing room etc) you would expect from a large site. There is entertainment and Kids Club in season. The only issue we found was that the site seemed to suffer from power cuts but whether this was a site issue or a problem with the distribution system we don't know and it resolved itself after a couple of days.
The site has a bar, snack café, restaurant, and well-stocked supermarket (fresh bread and croissants every day) There is a Carrefour market supermarket a short drive away in Benodet (with fuel station) which will meet most needs, but there is a huge LeClerc in Fouesnant which has just about everything you could wish for.
For days out, Quimper and Concarneau are both worth a visit.
If you are looking for a relaxing site with great facilities, we would recommend Le Letty.
We have just spent the best 2 weeks ever in the caravan with our kids 12 & 14.
We have been caravanning in Cornwall for years, and have missed everything that is great about camping de letty.
The reception are great (booking vet for us), bar staff are a little slow but always serve with a big smile, snack bar was fine, shop on site was amply stocked with everything you needed & reasonably priced, pool is fantastic beach is a paddle boarders heaven.
We will be back next year for another great holiday.
Some pitches looked a bit hemmed in but our pitch was fantastic lovely neighbour's who had been going for 37 years.
Fantastic site with easy access to a lovely sandy beach and friendly, helpful staff.
Our pitch with electrical hookup was well located, being near to the well cleaned wash blocks and also the beach, it was in a great position.
The site managed the coronavirus situation well with hand sanitsers everywhere (except by the door to the pool?) and appropriate social distancing notices.
We hired bikes from the local shop, which were a great way to get to and from the centre of Benodet and also to Sainte-Marine, a charming village with great restaurants across the estuary.
Our only disappointment was the 3/4G signal which was indifferent to say the least and from where we were located, the paid for Wi-fi wasn’t much better. via mobile
Excellent Site, the location is amazing right on the Tidal Estuary, forever changing landscape with tides, we hardly went off site as took paddleboard with us,
Great Cycle route beside sea After turning left and left again out of Site into Bénodet, Lovely beach.
Well stocked shop and takeaway on Site. Or there is Carrefour Supermaket in town we used to cycle to,
We had a near beach pitch which had a view of sea and well worth it just a few steps away from the beach, beach does have stones and is a sort of gravel, but it’s so picturesque, we took wet shoes, so wasn’t a problem.
Showers were always warm and accessible and toilet blocks too, with toilet seats and loo roll!
We had great weather but site has indoor pool too, our kids are 12 & 14 and loved it.
Spent two weeks here in July and August 2018; two adults and two primary school aged children. We all really enjoyed it. The standard pitch (slightly towards the top end of the site, nearer the road than the beach) was big enough without being massive, with close and easy access to water and electricity and a good amount of shade. The washrooms were good, with local radio piped in (but not too loudly) which I thought was a nice touch. All the facilities were clean. I am usually a target for the local insect population, but only had one bite in the whole fortnight - result!
The play area was amongst the best I've seen; large and sensibly away from the main camping areas to reduce noise, but still only a couple of minutes walk away. It had a small zip line and some netted areas to play football in - nice pieces of kit. The pool complex is lovely and warm enough, the children (and wife) loved the slides. It's a really nice pool with nice surroundings.
The site has a kids' club which, unlike the other five French sites we've stayed at, does not require you to stay and supervise your children. It was easy to organise at the Bureau d'Activites and the staff in that office were really helpful. So we took a morning to ourselves which was a nice relaxing touch to the holiday. We were a bit hesitant about the evening entertainment but it was nicely judged, aimed mainly at kids of course but striking a good balance across the age groups and without leaving adults feeling bored. We always enjoyed the evenings spent there, and never thought that it was too loud or too late at our pitch.
A few niggles: I quite liked the bar but sometimes the service was woefully slow. Take 10 minutes to make a few cocktails before serving someone who, oh, wants cocktails again, and then after that, um, some more cocktails, and then WHY does it take 30 minutes to get a beer?! More bar staff needed! Plus neither the takeaway or the ice cream stall could tell us if their food contained or came into contact with peanuts - not great when a child has a peanut allergy!
I didn't think that the Letty beach adjacent to the site was quite as idyllic as it looked on the website - the sand was coarse and the currents were strong for young children. So we went to the other side of the spit on Plage de Kerler which we preferred. Benodet's town beach was also nice.
Benodet is a nice town with a smaller Carrefour supermarket, but we went a few miles up the road to a large Casino on the outskirts of Concarneau.
Don't let those little niggles put you off though - they were tiny in comparison to the enjoyment we had here.
The holiday went really quickly - always a good sign! I would definitely recommend it and would consider going again; the only thing that might stop me is Brittany's weather compared to regions further south. This year it was superb, but as part of an exceptional European heatwave. However, you can tell that the owners have put a lot of thought, as well as investment, into their campsite - they can be very proud of it!
We arrived at this site without having booked, having rejected our first choice. We chose a larger comfort pitch, but I think another time the standard pitch would be more than adequate. We were given a number of pitches to choose from and were able to find one with just the right amount of shade (it was very hot weather while we were there). It was very quiet at the end of June, although we noticed that the sea view areas were much busier and mostly full, we were pleased that we were in a quieter area.
The nearby toilet block was dated, but always spotless and loo roll was provided within the cubicles. There were individual cubicles for washbasins and the showers were well designed, with a shelf and hooks and controllable temperature. Plenty of partially covered sinks for washing up and laundry.
The pool area was great, although we had to hunt the shade a bit, and after 1st July an aqua aerobics class started which was excellent. I imagine the pool would be very crowded if the site was full.
The shop was great with fresh croissants and baguettes and you didn't have to order. The nearby Carrefour was open on Sunday mornings too!
We were there for the world cup and enjoyed watching it in the bar, which was a good size, although if you weren't a football fan you would have struggled to find a quiet spot. The takeaway was running, but not with a full menu as it was out of season. Our main disappointment was the lack of a restaurant - you could eat the takeaway in the bar but you had to ask for cutlery and plates so it was all a bit of a palaver.
There was free wifi in the bar area (the bar wasn't open at lunchtime but you could sit on the terrace for wifi access) although we struggled with connection at first but once we had got it sorted it wasn't too bad, although we were unable to book our return ferry online, I ended up having to phone.
If I'd had small children, I would have worried about the currents on the beach, which were very strong, and the play area was in a ridiculous place miles away at the entrance - we never saw anyone using it at all and I'm not surprised.
We would have liked to hire kayaks but were too worried about being on the sea in so much sun, but it's a great facility to have.
Benodet is a lovely little town, we have visited it before, although there are not as many restaurants as you might think and a superb seafood restaurant that we used to go to has disappeared sadly. We did have a good lunch at a creperie though with very friendly service and good food.
We would definitely return to this site - it was excellent.
After a 6 hour drive from Cherbourg we arrived at Le Letty after a disastrous journey and a stopover site hiccup, a day early. As the site was full, reception helped us out by allowing us to stay in the late arrivals car park and use the on site facilities for free. Next morning our pitch was vacant and we were able to get on at 9am.
We pitched in Les Sternes, with a spectacular view of the beach and close to amenities. We did have a bit of trouble getting onto the pitch due to the hedges, but our Dutch neighbours helped us push on.
Our nearest amenities block was a little dated, but actually perfect. Lots of the other campers were drawn to the more modern block in the opposite direction, so left the less attractive block quieter. Showers were powerful and hot and I never once waited considering the amount of people camping. It was also pretty clean and you regularly saw staff cleaning. We took our French toilet bag, containing toilet paper and hand gel as it was very French with the toilet roll outside and no soap. They seem to be working on that though as other blocks did have that.
The kids loved the pool, which we used daily. The indoor pool was ideal for the cooler days. You couldn't always get a sunbed, but that was mainly due to greedy families hogging loads of beds that they weren't all using.
The beach was as described by other reviewers - course sand, like tiny shingle. Beach shoes are a must! There is a permanent current, but once the tide goes out, the beach is perfect for rock pooling. Crabs galore so don't forget nets. The water is crystal clear and full of fish and interesting things.
We took our bikes with us and hardly used our car. Benodet is a quick bike ride from the site entrance and Carrefour a little further. We rode there most days to buy our food.
Super you and Lidl can be found a few miles away by car in the Quimper direction and LeClerc Hypermarket in Fousenant, the next little town. There's also Decathlon at Quimper or Concarneau if you want to buy beach stuff or a Paddleboard if you feel left out.
The site is busy and a little noisy until after 11pm, but we went with the flow and let the kids stay up late and sleep in. Maybe ear plugs would be helpful if you are a light sleeper.
Although we paid more for staying at Le Letty than we would have liked, we saved money by having so much to do on site, rather than going out to find entertainment. There are lots of English families on site and we made some lovely Dutch friends.
The playpark is a little tired and right at the top of the park, so not very child friendly. They could do with a more Central park, so the kids can make friends.
We enjoyed trips out to Quimper and its beautiful cobbled streets and Concarneau, but Concarneau was really busy due to the Blue Nets Festival. The walled old town was really picturesque and we found free parking at the station. We also cycled around Benodet and it's marina, following a very nice cycle track.
The on site shop had lots of food choice and beach stuff if you'd forgotten anything, but as expected a little pricey. Snack bar was also reasonable and good portions.
We stayed the last 2 weeks in August and although it was heaving when we arrived the site emptied towards the end of our visit and we would probably visit as late as possible next year.
Well done Du Letty we had an amazing stay last week.
Perfect location and amenities were great.
Only let down was the noise, I thought we all stood by the 'Campers code', but clearly not. Kids were running around the site screaming and shouting ! Where we're the parents? Probably the noisy ones up drinking till all hours.
Please campers don't let these sites down and show a bit of compassion to others.
Just had 11 nights at Camping du Letty and what an amazing time we had
We arrived, to find our pitch still occupied (the people on the pitch had forgotten they needed to leave due to having such a fab time). Straight away the receptionist found what pitches would be available throughout the duration of our stay and we got upgraded to a comfort/large pitch.
The shower block was separate the toilet block on our area of the site, in others its together. We never had to queue, always clean, tidy and plenty of hot water.
The swimming pools were amazing, they were just like what you can see on the pictures. All very clean and tidy and whilst we were there plenty of sunbeds. No shoes, food or drink was allowed on poolside which definitely helped. My kids loved the pools especially the indoor one with the lazy river and the slides outside.
Short walk from our pitch was the beach 'Du Letty' and that was fantastic we hired kayaks and stand up paddle boats plus used our dinghy, went snorkelling and crabbing. Only thing got to be wary of is they tide, a few people we helped to bring back a shore.
Onsite they had a supermarket which stocked all you basic requirements plus most importantly the daily supply of fresh baguettes and croissants. For a bigger shop we went to the local supermarket in town. We used the takeaway a few times which was good food with good service. The bar had entertainment which we didn't use but didn't go on too late so noise wasn't a problem. It is worth noting that the last week of their season its low season as all the French have gone back so none of the entertainment was on and the bar had reduced hours but we actually liked it.
I could go on and on about how wonderful this site was and we'd definitely be going back again.
