Poor site

The pitches are small and could not be described As grass,but should be described as mud pitches. Did not find the owner to be welcoming.on returning To the site after a walk to the nearby village the owner on seeing us enter the site locked up the small bar/restaurant at 7.45 pm. Booked two nights,stayed for one. Would not recommend.

Pleasant Site

Stayed here for 5 nights. Pitches are grass and surrounded by tall (2m+) beeches hedges. As the name suggests there are a lot of mature trees. Pitches are of varying size and most are very tight for a caravan and awning. I booked a pitch with a water tap. However, the allocated pitch was underneath a mature tree, which, combined with the high hedges and its narrowness, meant that it would be in shade for most of the day. The alternative offered had similar issues and I finally settled for a large pitch but no water tap. There are 2 toilet blocks. The one nearest the office is brand new and immaculate. The toilets are designed without seats. The shower cubicles are tight for those with a fuller figure. The smaller toilet block is older but just as clean. The village is nearby and has a range of restaurants and cafes, a shop and a bakery. Bread is available at the office if ordered the night before. There is a free ferry across the Seine, but it does not take caravans. For those exploring the area to the south using the ferry cuts off about 20 miles from your trip. However, beware if you car has a long nose the angle of the ramps means that the front will scrape the concrete. The welcome was friendly and the changing of the pitch caused no problems.

Enjoyable

We stayed for 1 week initially, as this was our first time in France & we had a lovely time. Due to circumstances ie flooding & petrol strikes we stayed a 2nd week. We found it v restful, the staff were lovely & v helpful. The site was kept v tidy & clean. There is a lovely walk to the Seine and Duclair is nearby with shops, walks, superb market. We enjoyed the site v much indeed.

Peaceful quiet site but wouldn't return

The owners of the site are very welcoming, friendly and helpful. We spent 6 nights at the site. The hedges dividing the pitches were good. Stops someone parking on part of your pitch. On the other hand due to their size they made the pitch a bit claustrophobic. They were much larger than shown in the picture!! We had booked a large pitch but we had to shoe horn our outfit in. We have a Volvo XC60 and a Lunar Clubman, with the awning up we had 12ins between the hedge and the awning door to get out. The toilets didn’t have seats but were spotless clean. The shower block was also very clean but far too small. They also had the antiquated push button for the water which delivered luke warm water. We used them twice then gave up and showered in the van. There was a small snack bar which was never open. We were there in the middle of June and the site was 70% full. I would call it more of a transient site than a holiday site, there was no holiday atmosphere at all. People would stay one, may be two nights and move on. Also beware many of the pitches are in complete shade by over head trees or large trees on the pitch. Some pitches were very difficult to manoeuvre into. For what we had I found the site quite expensive. Would I return or recommend this site? NO.

Great site for our first adventure in France

This was our first visit to France with our motorhome. We stayed at 2 other sites before this one and it was by far the best. All pitches had hook up and water. Toilets & showers were immaculate. The staff were friendly and helpful. Cycle hire and maps of lovely cycle and walking routes. We did not use the pool but families were and it looked clean. Fresh bread was available to order every morning, a small bar and basic cafe were on site too. The little village nearby had a lovely grocers shop and a couple of good cafes & restaurants. Highly recommend.

Pleasant Stay in Basse-Normandie

We stayed here for three days in June 2016. The owner of the site is very organised - she reserved a pitch for us which was quite large and well positioned. There are two convenience blocks - only the larger one block 1 has showers. This is a modern block, very clean, but both my wife and I thought that the water in the showers could have been hotter and the push-button operation could have delivered water for longer, as had been the case at Camping de la Hallerie where we stayed immediately before. The village of Jumieges has shops and restaurants and the Abbey is worth a visit. We always try to use local public transport and in this case we had to walk 3 km into Yainville to catch a bus to Rouen (only 1.80 Euros each way) but it was worth the effort. There are quiet roads that are suitable for cyclists nearby. The countryside around about is beautiful and this site is well worth a visit.

Fab little get away!

Stayed for one week end of May2016 as a family of 2 adults and 3 kids with a touring caravan. The owners gave a womderful warm welcome and were most helpful. We chose our own pitch which was huge and had its own tap. Toilet and showers were very clean and modern although the block itself little cold and the drainage for the showers wasn't the best but this is a very minor concern. The site is in a beautiful village close to the Abbey and the River Seine which has free car ferries running all day every day cutting lots of time off any day trip journey. Very peaceful site with lovely friendly people. The kids loved the heated pool and the play area was just enough for letting off some energy. We visited the beaches and museums at Arromanche and its surrounding areas and although a couple of hours drive from the site would highly recommend it as a very worthwhile, informative and moving experience. Overall would definately recommend this site and will definately use it again.

A gem in the sticks

What a cracking site this is, the photo's on the website don't do the site justice.We have just had 7 nights there,pity the ferries were on strike to cross the Seine. There is plenty of room on special pitches, toilet block was very clean and the camp in general was tidy. Just got away in time before the fuel strike got hold. Thoroughly recommend this little gem.

Quiet and friendly

Although we were only at the site for one night we still found the staff very helpful and friendly. Off-season the site was very quiet with a pleasant walk to the local village. Read the directions thoroughly and do not try to use the ferries across the Seine

Great location

Reception closed from 12:00-1:300pm, but opened promptly. Madam very pleasant and welcoming, good information given, pitch good size and fairly level. Good dog walking in the wooded area next to the site. The village was really lovely and easy walking distance, lots of restaurants to choose from, good cycling and walking. Will definitely return.
