A heated swimming pool accessible to all
Enjoy water at any time
Camping Ker Helen’s aquatic area includes a heated swimming pool, integrated within the campsite. The pool is part of the facilities available to holidaymakers during opening hours, from 10am to 8pm. It is part of the overall offer of a 4-star campsite, created in 1965 and taken over by family management in 1996. The aquatic area is not covered and is not considered a water park. It does not include a wellness area, and the pool is not supervised.
Around the pool, deckchairs and parasols are available for everyone to relax between swims. The swimming pool is open from 01/05/2026 to 30/09/2026, and complements the campsite’s other facilities such as the multi-sports field and playground.
An area designed with children in mind

Children have access to a paddling pool in the campsite’s aquatic area. This area allows them to enjoy the water in a suitable setting at the heart of Camping Ker Helen. The paddling pool complements the facilities already on site, such as the playground and activities available to holidaymakers. Families with young children are among the campsite’s most popular customers, along with couples and senior citizens. Access to the aquatic area is part of the overall holiday experience, alongside on-site entertainment such as themed evenings, live bands and DJs. Children can alternate between water games, sports activities and rest periods.
