About
The GCU de Kérity campsite is in Penmarc’h, in the Pays Bigouden, in southern Finistère, a stone’s throw from the sea and the small harbour of Kérity. It belongs to the Groupement des campeurs universitaires, an association founded in 1937 that runs nearly 90 campsites in France in a spirit of simple, friendly and participative holidays: campers take part in the life of the site. Rated 1 star, the site has about 65 pitches and only opens in summer. Pets are allowed on the pitches. All around, the Penmarc’h coast lines up rocks, beaches and lighthouses. You can go sailing, fishing, cycling and riding, and the harbour at Le Guilvinec is very close. By the sea, Pors Carn beach, in Penmarc’h, is about 8 minutes by car (4.2 km), and La Torche beach about 9 minutes by car (5.3 km).
