Spent 5 nights here in Mid Sept and the location is good for WWII sites locally and Bayeux etc. Facilities were a little basic and 1 block closed entirely while we were there. Bar was also closed as it was late in the season. The worst thing... Show more

We stayed here overnight before catching the early morning ferry from Caen so it was convenient. The pitches are small and awkward and we had difficulty reversing our van up a sandy banking with a drain opening in the middle of it. There was no problem leaving at 6.30... Show more

I read the reviews before booking this site and was a bit apprehensive but booked anyway due to its location. It has direct access to the beach. The swimming pool is small but was good to have. The pitches are snug but we managed to get our 7.4m caravan on... Show more

We have just returned from a short stay at this site. The facilities were good, the town is good for a short walk and the beach is great for a longer walk. However I have to agree with previous reviewers on the pitches. They are very small even for a... Show more

This site, in places, is very tight to manoeuvre round. We have a Bailey 464 (so quite small) but still found getting to the pitch we were allocated difficult as site roads are narrow. When we got to the pitch someone else was there. We went back to reception... Show more

We used this site on arriving in Caen. Found it a little difficult to find in the dark but the owners were wonderful directing us by phone and even waiting at the gate to help us when we arrived which was almost 10.30 p.m. Shower blocks were very clean and... Show more

Needing a one night stay before catching the early morning ferry from Caen, we felt that the £50 per night charge was extortionate. Although on the beach, there is very little space, it's noisy and overcrowded. When we arrived at our pitch we had to evict a group of young... Show more

Should be a super site. Lovely location backing right onto the beach and perfectly located for the D-day landing locations but ruined by the horrendous loud nightly entertainment that goes on until midnight and takes place outside. Our pitch was the opposite end of the site but we were kept... Show more

A beach-side site 30 minutes from Ouistreham Ferry and ideally sited for exploration with so many locations within easy reach: Our favourites were Bayeux Tapestry, D Day beaches and Pegasus Bridge, the busy sea-side town of Villers-sur-Mare, the delightful Auge region with forest and orchards, doted with picture-post-card villages such...

The location is lovely and great for exploring Normandy landing sites and Bayeaux. However there was absolute bedlam from the disco with cheering and ahouting late into the night and a lot of noisy kids. We are a family with two young kids and we have camped in many busy sites... Show more
