Private camping rentals at Campénéac, Brittany 12

The property is located between the land (Brocéliande) and the sea (Golfe du Morbihan).
Campénéac is a small village of 1,500 inhabitants at the crossroads of Guer, Mauron, Malestroit and Josselin, both small towns with character. The nearest town is Ploermel, 10,000 inhabitants, with all amenities.
I welcome tents, caravans, minivans, vans and small camping cars on this plot around the vegetable garden, in the sun or shade.

The setting

Access is easy, close to the D772 road and the greenway (Augan-Ploermel axis), and there's little noise apart from the birds and crickets in summer. Some animals on site: pony, dog, cats, chickens.
The property is in a locality with 3 houses, surrounded by fields. It's an old farmhouse. My parents live in the main farmhouse.
I've renovated an outbuilding in which I live. The property is entirely surrounded by hundred-year-old oak trees and includes a large south-facing orchard and vegetable garden.

The spots

Shady or sunny, close to the house, vegetable garden or orchard. Flat terrain.

The sanitary facilities

Outdoor solar shower

Outdoor dry toilets

The amenities

Available: a canvas arbour, to be erected in case of bad weather.
