Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews




















Ideal for an overnight enroute from Cherbourg!
Electric grass pitch
Liked Spacious pitches, tranquil environment, spotlessly clean and warm facilities ...nice 'feel' to the site!
Good data on roaming. We didn't hook on to WiFi
Proximity to Normandy beaches but we didn't have time unfortunately
Disliked Not a dislike but they do like you to have checked in by 7 pm...can be tight if your ferry is delayed...we emailed ahead and they were happy to allow checking in up to 8 but absolutely no later and probably an exception as wasn't our fault...as they like to maintain peace and quiet in the evening which is fair enough

From the manager: Dear Mr and Mrs White,
Thank you very much for your kind and detailed review. We're delighted that you enjoyed the spacious pitches, the peaceful atmosphere, and the cleanliness of our facilities – it's always rewarding to hear such positive feedback.
Regarding our check-in policy, you're absolutely right – we generally ask guests to arrive by 7 pm. This is to ensure a quiet and restful evening for everyone on site, as late arrivals can sometimes disrupt the calm atmosphere that many of our guests come here to enjoy. That said, we completely understand that travel delays – especially ferry crossings or unexpected traffic – can happen. In such cases, as you experienced, we always try to be flexible when notified in advance.
Thank you again for staying with us, and we hope to welcome you back next time you’re in Normandy – hopefully with more time to explore the beautiful beaches nearby!
Best regards,
Delphine & Laurent
A good base to tour the Bayeux area for a few days
Electric grass pitch
Liked I appreciated the friendly welcome, helpful explanation, with brochures, about the local area and quick tour of the site facilities.
At the beginning of September the campsite was quiet and provided a good base for going out each day to visit the D Day sites.
Good, very clean, loos and hot showers.

Electric grass pitch
Liked A really well-kept site with immaculately clean facilities – the owners clearly work very hard. We appreciated the friendly welcome, the hot unlimited showers, and the toilet roll and soap in the toilet block! The cupboard of board games to borrow is a nice touch.

Electric grass pitch
Liked Ci è piaciuto essere in mezzo alla natura, la semplicità e genuinità. Abbiamo apprezzato molto la pulizia dei bagni e la disponibilità, simpatia di Delphine. Ideale per chi cerca una sosta senza tante pretese e aspettative. Da migliorare la manutenzione del luogo. Gli spazi comuni richiedono di essere migliorati e più curati. Nel complesso buono.

From the manager: Dear Family,
Thank you for your feedback. We're glad to hear that you appreciated the natural setting, the simplicity of the place, and Delphine’s warm and friendly welcome. We're also very pleased to see you rated the cleanliness of the bathrooms a 10/10 — thank you!
That’s why we were a bit confused by your comment suggesting that the common areas need improvement. If you were referring to the sanitary facilities, please note that most of them are brand new, and we regularly receive positive feedback about both their condition and cleanliness. A small part of the facilities is indeed older, but still very clean and perfectly functional.
Unless your level of expectation is significantly higher than that of most of our guests, we believe the current setup strikes a good balance between comfort, simplicity, and authenticity.
Thank you again for staying with us — we hope to welcome you back in the future!
Warm regards,
Delphine & Laurent
Fabulous! This campsite is so well…
Electric grass pitch
Liked Fabulous!
This campsite is so well organised and run by the owners who keep all the facilities spotlessly clean. I would thoroughly recommend staying here. It’s also very conveniently situated for visiting Bayeux and the D Day landing beaches and memorials, which is a very moving experience.
We thoroughly recommend this wonderful campsite.!

Electric grass pitch
Liked Søde, rare, venlige og hjælpsomme værter. Lånte os forlængerledning og stikdåse da vi ikke selv havde rette med.
Blev personligt vist rundt på pladsen og fik forevist vores plads samt parkering.
Pæne bade- og toiletforhold som var inkluderet i prisen. Mulighed for tøjvask.
Disliked Meget sumpet på vores plads grundet et regnvejr. Måtte nærmest sætte teltet helt ind i hækken.

From the manager: Dear Madam, Dear Sir,
Thank you very much for your kind words about our team and the facilities. We are truly sorry that your pitch was muddy during your stay. Unfortunately, we experienced heavy rain at that time and, as we were fully booked, we were unable to offer you another pitch. We understand that this made setting up your tent more difficult, and we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. We hope to welcome you again under better weather conditions.
Best regards.
