  • 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.

What customers say

This well-kept site has good pitches, spotless facilities, and grand staff. It's dead handy for a walk to Bayeux, with a free pool next door. Food vans and services on-site are a plus. Some noted road noise and weak WiFi. Grand for exploring Bayeux and Normandy.

Stephen A.

Electric grass pitch

Liked Great location for exploring Bayeaux and close enough to cycle to D-Day beaches and memorials.
Shower and toilet facilities were clean and plentiful.
The greeting at reception was lovely. Very friendly.
Good range of recycling and composting options.
Able to hire bikes (electric) from a local company who will deliver and collect them from the site.
Breakfast was available to order from reception.

Disliked No soap or hand dryer in the toilets. Doesn’t seem uncommon at many sites we’ve stayed at but still in my opinion a must.
We had a hard standing pitch with grass area alongside. Unfortunately the grass hadn’t been cut for some time and so was very wet to walk on in the mornings. Admittedly, we were there in October and I don’t cut my grass in October so not a deal breaker.
Some road noise however not excessive and you definitely forget you’re so close to a city.

Liked We really enjoyed our few days at this campsite, beautifully landscaped, really friendly staff. Clean and accessible toilets, plenty of facilities for washing. Can order croissants and baguettes for breakfast and free use of a fab swimming pool next door. Delightful walk into Bayeux along the river, great value for money- would highly recommend!

Rachel T.

Electric grass pitch

Liked Great location, easy to walk into Bayeux and cycle to the coast - great cycle paths. Lovely clean toilet block and facilities. Staff really helpful.
We swapped to a handstanding pitch and pleased we did as it would be quite a challenge to get our larger caravan over the lip onto the grass pitches. Some Pitches are a little tight and the road through is narrow.
Liked the tv /leisure room and good WiFi there. Also good to get the free swimming card. We would stay again.

Disliked A little tight to manoeuvre the caravan onto the pitch but otherwise no complaints.

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

Electric grass pitch

Liked Clean showers and toilets with toilet seats!
Friendly and helpful reception staff.
Cheap laundry facilities compared to some other camps sites.

Disliked No soap dispensers in toilets but does have them outside in sinks for washing crockery. This is just encouraging people to wash hands in the wrong sinks after using the toilet.
Poorly lit in places and some paths very uneven due to tree stumps- a trip hazard in places

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your note and constructive remarks. We are glad that you enjoyed your stay overall.
We take your suggestions very carefully in order to continue improving the experience of our holidaymakers.
We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again and deserve a 10/10 on your next visit!

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.
