Ferries to France

If you want the freedom of bringing your own car to France the ferry can be a great way to start your holiday. Many families find that the journey itself becomes an adventure for the kids, especially as many ferries have supervised play areas, cinemas and children’s entertainers. Grown-ups can enjoy the shops, bars and restaurants.

Getting the ferry from Ireland is a particularly popular option for visitors to our campsites in Brittany, the Vendée and Charente-Maritime. There are a number of different ferry providers to choose from, with a range of different routes & weekly crossings. Please check the ferry companies' websites for the most accurate & up to date information. 

Getting the Ferry to our Campsites in Northern France

One of our most popular holiday parks for guests from Ireland is Domaine de Kerlann in south Brittany, near the small town of Pont Aven. This is a relatively easy drive of under two hours from Roscoff ferry port. This lively park is packed with great facilities including an indoor and outdoor swimming pool and is close to some beautiful beaches.

  Camping Le Conguel (122 miles from Roscoff) and camping Les Pierres Couchées (200 miles from Roscoff) are also great choices for parks near ferry ports. 

Domaine de Dugny in the Loire Valley is slightly further (185 miles/ 3 hrs 30 mins from Caen ferry port), but if you don't mind a bit longer in the car it's worth it once you arrive. 

Getting the Ferry to our Campsites in Vendée

In Vendée, you’ll find our two sister villages of Le Bois Dormant and Le Bois Masson. Both are 246 miles from Roscoff ferry port, and close to each other. Le Bois Dormant (‘The Sleeping Forest’) is the more relaxed, but with access to the water games and evening shows of Le Bois Masson, you have the best of both worlds – loads of fun with somewhere to retreat to! Both camping sites are near to interesting places such as Île d'Yeu, an island with a 14th-century castle built to defend against pirates…

Getting the Ferry to our Campsites in Charente Maritime

     
If you don't mind a slightly longer drive from the port you can also bring your own car to our Charente Maritime parks. Relax at Les Charmettes, Bonne Anse Plage and La Pignade – all just a few miles from coastal towns.
