Traditional & out-of-the-ordinary accommodation immersed in nature
The history of Les Ormes stretches back to long before 1977, when the campsite opened. From the Middle Ages, the site served as the residence for the bishops of Dol, who built a small castle in the heart of an estate comprising 250 hectares.
After the French Revolution, the bishops were forced to leave. Les Ormes then changed hands between various successive owners. At the beginning of the last century, it was transformed into a farm, the estate’s outbuildings being used for various agricultural purposes.
After several additional conversions and substantial investment, Les Ormes is now considered one of the finest campsites in France. The evidence is that the establishment monopolises a great deal of camping and caravanning awards. Staying on Les Ormes means fully immersing yourself in a green setting. The variety of accommodation has been designed to blend into the surroundings.
You can choose from a wide range of options as follows. The stylish ‘Made by Les Ormes’ cottages, timber chalets, not found elsewhere with an exclusive design, built using natural materials. Lodges with authentic charm, spacious tents with an air of adventure including a living room, kitchen, bathroom and comfortable bedrooms. Modern comfortable mobile homes, in the Premium, Palm Beach or luxury TAOS ranges, combine practicality and wellness. The fully equipped apartments have private balconies or terraces so you feel at home, while making the most of the campsite facilities. The Sweet Homes are both practical and friendly cosy timber nests with an outdoor terrace. The ‘Camping’Huttes’ (camping huts); these themed cabins on stilts, blend the out-of-the-ordinary with comfort. Lastly, you can also choose from spacious camping pitches, ranging from 100 to 150 m², some with private sanitary facilities, giving you the freedom to set up your caravan or tent in the heart of nature.

A perfect situation between Saint Malo and Mont Saint Michel
The Domaine des Ormes campsite is located in the commune of Epiniac, a modest village to the south of Dol de Bretagne. This medieval village, still dominated by one of the oldest cathedrals of France, is located at equal distance from Saint Malo and Mont Saint Michel, the two major tourist sites in the North of the Ille et Vilaine region.
Saint Malo, privateers and trading port, is surrounded by high city walls having resisted multiple English attacks. Behind the walls you find many restaurants and creperies, and its castle houses the city's Museum of History and of Pays Malouin. Around the city centre, forts and fortifications continue to bear the assault of the waves. At low tide, you can walk to some of them.
On the other side of the Rance estuary, Dinard is one of the most famous beach resorts of the Breton coastline, coastline which name changes into the Emerald Coast between Saint Malo and Mont Saint Michel. This wonder of humanity is located less than 40 miles from le Domaine des Ormes. Every year, millions of tourists and pilgrims climb the cobblestone streets of this medieval city to reach the summit of the Mont and its Abbey. Up there, you'll have a splendid view on one of the most beautiful bays of the world!
