  • Dog-friendly site an easy riverside walk away from Bayeux town centre
  • A 10-minute drive from the Normandy coast and D-Day beaches
  • Pétanque, table tennis and playground on site; pool five minutes’ walk
Weave a scenic and historic Normandy holiday with a stay at Camping Municipal des Bords de l'Aure, set an easy riverside walk away from the town centre of Bayeux and its world-famed tapestry telling the story of the Battle of Hastings and the Norman invasion of England. More recent history can be learnt about around the Normandy D-Day beaches, around 10 minutes' drive away from base. Otherwise opt to try the many outdoor activities in the region, like the 36-hole golf course at Omaha beach 25 minutes' drive away, or the horse riding and watersports centres within 10 kilometres. The Parc Festyland theme park is also only 25 minutes' drive away for a day on the rides. The site has bikes to hire to take to the town or the coast. Also around for guests are a playground, table tennis and a pétanque court. There may be no pool on site, but there's a splendid indoor pool at the Centre aquatique Auréo, which is just five minutes' walk away from the site and free for guests to use. Those activities are sure to give you a healthy appetite, so it's handy that the site has a bread and pastries service.

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to rate and comment on the campsite.
Our campsite is mainly wooded. Some pitches are very sunny. But when you asked us for shade upon arrival, we cannot always change your place because we welcome many people. Some want shade, others want sun. We cannot satisfy everyone, unfortunately.

Fabulous site.

Lesley B. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Powered grass site

Liked Immaculate site. Very friendly reception staff. Local to walk to town. Great toilets and showers. Faultless.

Disliked Not a dislike really, we weren't given a pass for the pool. We did try to get in there on the last day, but it was closing anyway.
A note for others going for a swim- there's no shorts allowed, men need to wear Speedo style trunks.

Conrad H. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Unpowered grass site

Liked Modern site with good facilities (loo roll provided). Hardstanding pitches with grassed area and hedging and many trees for shade. Motorhome service point available. Free WiFi. Food van available on some day's. Retail sites just over the road too.
Great location for walking to the central tourist sites along a riverside path (ignore the first sign to go roadside) and the river takes you to the back of the Cathedral. Oasis Bar opposite the cross-stitch is good for those who don't want to see it!

From the manager: Good morning Conrad, thank you for this positive note. Hoping to be able to make you enjoy again our beautiful campsite near the beaches and historical sites.

Local attractions

Take the peaceful stroll or quick bike ride from the site into the centre of Bayeux a kilometre away, home of course to the mammoth Bayeux Tapestry, the 68 metres of 11th-century tapestry depicting the Normandy invasion of England and the subsequent Battle of Hastings. Also in town are the 11th-century Bayeux Cathedral, a British war cemetery, the Memorial Museum of the Battle of Normandy and the MAHB art museum, with paintings, sculptures, drawings, photographs, porcelain and Bayeux lace from throughout the centuries. Another D-Day museum is at Arromanches-les-Bains (10 minutes' drive) and the Normandy landing beaches of Omaha (25 minutes), Juno (25 minutes) and Utah (45 minutes) are all within striking distance. The Caen Memorial, commemorating World War II and the Battle for Caen, is 25 minutes' drive away. Outdoor activities are easily sorted with local horse riding, a couple of kilometres from the site, or with watersports including paddleboarding, sailing and sea kayaking at the nearby Normandy beaches, 10 minutes' drive away. You could also spend a day at the Les etangs de planquery (25 minutes), or take the kids to the Parc Festyland (25 minutes), themed around the events of 1066 and all that.
