Very pleaseant stop over

We stayed here for one night on route back from Benodet to Calais and were very impressed and wished we could have stayed longer. The warden was very welcoming and clear and precise with the facilities and site rules. The pitch we were allocated (75) was huge compared to other sites in France and was private with tall hedges all around. The facilities were spotlessly clean and it was clear all areas of the site were regularly inspected and maintained. The play area is very good and there is a pool table and TV room for older children. Would definitely book here again.

Stopover Site at end of our holiday

We were made very welcome by the efficient Lady site owner. We approached site from the west watching carefully to avoid the ferry. We left motorway at junction 25. You pass the ferry sign on your way so it is easy to avoid. Road route adds about 30 mins to journey and is easy to find. You cross over a large bridge and head down the other side of river. I would reccomend doing supermarket shopping at one of the larger villages on route as Jumieges is very small. The site is fine with modern toilet block and large shaded pitches. There is an older block which has basic toilets and dish washing etc. Good area for cycling. The abbey at Jumieges is well worth a visit and not too expensive as well as the building there are nice grounds to walk round. The village is pretty with few bars and a restaurant. Site has basic bar and small shop. We didnt use the swimming pool. Returning to the motorway heading East resulted in us using some narrow but safe roads. A good site close to the river in a scenic part of France. Andy .

Hidden Gem

We chose this site as it stated it was good for cycling. It did not disappoint at all. The site may be small but it is immaculately kept by the Monsuier of the site who does all the maintenance, cleaning etc single handedly. The Madame speaks excellent English and is very knowledgeable on the local areas. We booked a fully serviced pitch and it was a great size and very easy to access. The hedges created a good degree of privacy. The shower block closing at 22.00 was not a problem! Who wants a shower at that time of night? Also it would be a disturbance to the people on the pitches near the shower block. The indoor pool was a lovely temperature, the outdoor pool is not heated and very shallow and is really only a children's pool. The village of Jumieges offers 3/4 places to eat and is a 10 minute walk from the site and well worth lingering longer and taking in a tour of the Abbey ruins. The cycling is fantastic, mostly flat and the free ferries that cross 7 points of the Seine is an amazing way of getting to see the area. We actually stayed for 21 nights and found more than enough to see and do and it's a shame that people use it as a stopover as they are missing out on seeing a very beautiful area of Normandy. A trip on the bus to Rouen is also a must.

Very Good Site

We stayed here for two nights 31st May and 1st June and was really impressed about the site and its facilities. Plenty to do and see in the surrounding scenic area. The local village has a very small supermarket but has a nice Pub with shaded seating area. We also foud a local home selling freshly picked cherries. The walk down to the Seine was very picturesque. Great site for a short break or a one night stop over, would definately revisit here,

Very Good Site, shame the shower block closes early

The site is well located, both strategically and locally, and is itself well maintained and laid out. Lots of tree cover; some people like that and some don't. The 'responsables' were friendly and polite to me when checking in, and afterwards. The negatives? Well although the facilities themselves are kept immaculately clean there are two irritations arising from how this is achieved at this site. One: no toilet seats - oh how trendy, ahem. Two: shower and washing facilities closed 22h00; that's too early. Once past that time there is just the one washbasin in the toilet block. Didn't get to try the pool; looks nice though.

Quiet and secluded.

A quiet secluded pitch when we went - out of season. A little too far away from the D-day beaches for us. Clean and modern toilet and showers. Local village was nice.

Good overnight stop for us

A bit difficult to find, but probably down to our sat nav. Not much nearby in the way of eating places. Friendly staff, clean and tidy. High hedges could do with being a bit lower, but that's just a personal thing.

Peaceful week- good site

Stayed here for a week mid September. Very quiet- mainly older couples and a few families. Each pitch it a good size- with sandy soil. Had a superpitch, which provided own drainage and water, which was very useful. Each pitch is bordered with large beech hedges, which gives a great deal of privacy between pitches. Although used own facilities mainly, the toilet blocks were immaculate when we visited. The owners couldn't have been more welcoming and helpful- and the small bar was pleasant. Pool was quite good (and warm) despite its smaller size. Local village of Jumieges is great, with some good bars/brasseries, and provides a good base for exploring Normandy. Rouen only a short drive away. Would suggest if coming from Calais/Dunkirk, that you head to Yvetot and towards the Pont du Brotonne, then through St Wandrille, as it is far easier than most online route planners suggest. Will definitely use this site again- would be very convenient as others have found for a stop-off en-route to the south of France. Was very pleased with this site- great stay!

Wish we had booked another night.

We stayed here in early September, it was quiet and peaceful with good facilities and the staff were very helpful. There was lots to explore locally but because we had booked for just two nights, on our way south, we didn't have time to see more than the local village and Jumieges Abbey (a must if you stay at LaForet). We hope to stay here again next year.

Location both pretty and convenient for ferry

We stopped off for one night to be close to Dieppe, like other reviewers, and it was perfect for this. The pool was very welcome and it's covered too. Nice little bar/snack bar and we ordered bread for the morning. Our only problem was, arriving from the south, we were directed to the car ferry which can not accommodate caravans; we sort of guessed this may happen. 10km north the Bretonne Bridge came to the rescue, just built last year. Our pitch was big enough although on a corner and a bit tricky to get out of with a long van. 'Local taxes' shouldn't worry you, all sites we paid 1.10 euros!
