Has anybody been to Camping Les Menhirs in Carnac

[millypip]

Hi everybody, after a bit of a saga we are heading to Camping Les Menhirs in Carnac in just over a week. (the children could probably tell you how many hours there are to go!).

Has anybody been there and do you have any tips? I hope its ok. It looks good. I've been to Carnac before but don't know this site. My main question is, is the pool a "no shorts" pool? I'm not sure if I could keep a straight face with my husband prancing round in speedos for a week!

Thank you.........

Millypip we last stayed there a couple of years ago. It's a fairly tightly packed site with limited facilities onsite. It's big advantage is that it is within walking distance of Carnac which is a really nice old fashioned Breton town. There are loads of places to eat out in Carnac. The local speciality is crepes in all their forms and a million fillings to suit all tastes. There is a marvellous ice cream shop with all the flavours you could possibly imagine (plus some you couldnt).

Regarding swimwear. Your DH (and DS regardless of age) should take both baggies and snugs. Most campsites allow the tight shorts so long as they have a short leg. IME everyone gets used to seeing them very quickly to the point where my 12 year old DS didnt complain. A lot of men where the baggies while lounging round on the side of the pool with the snugs under for when they actually get in the water. It is much less of an issue once there.

Do go and look at the standing stones while you are there. There is something really impressive about them. My DH found some in a woodland setting which we were able to go up to and the DCs climbed on them. Truly magical.

Resurrecting an old thread.

@millypip We've booked this campsite in middle of August. Just wanted to know what you thought?

Also we booked with no air con as it was much cheaper. Not sure if this was a good idea now. How was it when you went?
Thanks

Bumping as we are going there in August. I think we have to clean the mobile home when we vacate it - is that standard at Eurocamp ?

@MakeTeaNotWar yes that's standard for eurocamp.

It's worth checking in the details of the specific mobile home. We are staying in eurocamp accommodation at the end of June and end of let cleaning is included.

We stayed at Les Menhirs in July 2006 and air-conditioning wasn't needed. It's a fantastic site as it is so close to the beach and also so many amenities.
Basic cleaning when you leave is the norm with Eurocamp.

I have just looked again - end of let cleaning is included with Ultimate and Premium Exclusive accommodation. This tends to imply it isnt in other models.

Eurocamp are now teamed up with Homair, a French camping holiday company. It is more customary with continental operators for the customer to do the end of let clean.

On the plus side, many campsites offer an end of let clean service for a fee. You book this with the campsite directly during your stay. I did this once and was met with looks of bafflement as the service was almost never used!

Assume you will need to clean then check with the eurocamp/homair team on site. You may find you can book a clean with them directly for a fee or they will advise if the campsite has that service.

Just wanted to update, this is a great camp site.
Lots to do and the animation team with amazing. They tried their best to translate even though the majority of guests were French.
Definitely didn't need Aircon when we stayed in the summer. It was quite breezy in the evenings and we had a few rainy days.
The beach and local area were lovely to walk around. Make sure you visit the old and new parts of carnac (we nearly missed the old).
There's also a bike hire shop close by, it was lovely cycling over to the stones
Would definitely recommended !
