  • Family-friendly site under two kilometres from the coast
  • Within five kilometres of Omaha beach and 10 kilometres from Bayeux
  • Playground and shop on site; barbecues permitted
Two top Normandy destinations are a breeze to get to from family-friendly Camping L'Hypo'Camp: the World War II memorial of Omaha beach (five kilometres) and the spectacular sight of the Bayeux Tapestry, within 10. Omaha beach, the one five kilometres away, has a watersports centre with sailing activities. When you return back to base, there are more ways to unwind, as the quiet site has a children's play area with a seesaw and swings. Barbecues are allowed on site too for alfresco dinners, and there's the convenience of having a small grocery shop on site if you need to gather ingredients. There are also other amenities including two well-maintained shower and toilet blocks. L'Hypo'Camp is outside the coastal commune of Colleville-sur-Mer, just under 40 kilometres from Calvados department capital Caen.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: Locatie, personeel was erg vriendelijk en hulpvaardig.
Schone toiletten en douches.

Disliked: Na een periode van regen zijn de plaatsen erg drassig (onbegaanbaar).
Maar 1 toiletblok op hele camping, dus ver gelegen plaatsen is even lopen.
Wasmachine en droger kunnen update gebruiken naar nieuwere modellen.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: Fantastic site. Spotlessly clean facilities. Helpful friendly staff. Free WiFi across the site. Reception was easy to find with a little shop for essentials and for ordering bread. Walking distance to Omaha beach but within easy near distance to many other D-Day landing beaches. Cycling is easy in the area with quiet well sign posted lanes. Lovely place to stay or stop over.

Disliked: Nothing

Local attractions

Normandy tourist destinations of Omaha beach and the Bayeux Tapestry see hundreds of thousands of visitors to this region every year. The Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial is at the site's local town of Colleville-sur-Mer, overlooking the beach; at Bayeux, take time to see the town as well as its famous tapestry, stopping off at the 11th-century cathedral, the Memorial Museum of the Battle of Normandy, and, if you're here for World War II remembrance, the British war cemetery just outside town. The fishing, horse riding and canoeing within the same distance should provide plenty of entertainment by the coast, as should the local sands within a kilometre, and the fishing boat views from the harbour of Port-en-Bessin, three kilometres from the site. The World War II memorial and museum of La Pointe du Hoc within 20 minutes' drive of the site. Also, remember to take your chance to have a tour of the Isigny Sainte Mère Coopérative (20 minutes' drive) cheese and butter factory.
