Spoiled by poor access and tight pitches
Le Point du Jour
A very busy site even in June. The pitches are quite small which means that many cars are parked on the roadside across the front of the pitch which restricts the access. Some pitches are very difficult to access!! I would advise against using this site with a touring caravan unless you have a mover which is in good working condition! The site is clean and the toilets are modern and kept in spotless condition.
The site access is decidedly tricky with only one barrier for both entrance and exit! When we arrived, in the short space of time it took to register, we had a camper van behind and another trailer caravan unit which was almost blocking the road! It appears that they have extended the arrival area to incorporate a bar/restaurant which takes up the space which could be used for better access -(in any case this was closed, in late June despite the site appearing to be virtually full and the fact that the European Cup was in full progress)! The whole layout appears very confused and poorly thought out it gives the feeling that too many pitches have been crammed in.
The site provides easy access to a large beach at the bottom of the site and there are villages and towns nearby for Restaurants and all essentials.
The approach from Ouistreham is quite tricky with lots of traffic calming measures/speed humps along the way. The main attraction for British visitors is no doubt the proximity to the ferry port but We would not use the site again unless we were specifically visiting the area.
