  • Peaceful campsite 10 minutes’ drive from Domfront in Normandy
  • Mayenne 35 minutes’ drive, and Saint-Hilaire-du-Harcouët 40 minutes
  • Two carp-fishing ponds; shops and restaurants 10 minutes’ drive
With a peaceful setting deep in rural Normandy, La Géraumière is on 15 acres of leafy private land that calls to all keen anglers, thanks to its two lakes well-stocked with carp. But you don’t have to be into fishing to stay here; the lovely medieval town of Domfront (10 minutes’ drive) has shops, ancient buildings and a castle to please sightseers, as well as plenty of bars and restaurants where bon viveurs can enjoy a glass of Normandy cider to accompany tasty local specialities. Back on site, simple facilities tucked among the trees include an outdoor kitchen with a cooker, fridge, and washing-up sinks, plus pristine showers. Go about your day quietly and you might just spot deer or foxes among the trees. Take quiet moments to sit and listen to the birdsong, watch the kingfishers dipping into the lakes for insects, and on clear nights, gaze up at the stars in a sky free from light pollution. And of course, you can always befriend the owners’ livestock too: the roll call to date is ducks, goats and a pony – not forgetting the free-range hens, who might just venture onto your pitch to say ‘hi’.

What customers say

This peaceful rural campsite gets the thumbs up for its friendly hosts, spacious pitches and tranquil atmosphere. Visitors liked the clean facilities, farm animals and cycling routes, though some noted fixed shower heads and early morning cockerels. Ideal base for exploring Domfront.

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked Absolute gem of a place, very warm welcome by the owners Marc and the pony & goats. Plenty of space and was spoiled for choice of where to pitch caravan. Toilets and showers were spot on and very clean. We would definitely recommend to anyone who likes peace and tranquility to stay at this beautiful campsite.

Daniel H.

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked British couple who were friendly and welcoming.
Very much like a CL site but with extras which was right up my street. That's to say, no formal pitches but park anywhere in the big field....more or less.
Comprehensive facilities.
Good place to stay and cycle into the old town nearby.
Pony, goats and chickens loose in the field which I also liked

Facilities clean but not modern. Friendly hosts lots of little extras.

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked Beautiful peaceful setting. Marc so helpful and friendly. Animals wandering but not intrusive. A lot of thought had gone into what cycling tourers might require.Choice of pitch on site. Pitches not marked out but as a lot of space for number of units no chance of crowding.

Liked Absolutely loved this place- Mark and Kari were so welcoming- nothing was a problem.
An amazingly peaceful site- lovely lakes to walk to- chickens, goats, alpacas and a pony were resident which made the site so lovely.

Local attractions

Anglers may be happy hanging out at the carp lakes waiting for a bite, but there’s lots of other stuff to do too. You provide the pedal power on the Vélorail at Bagnoles de l’Orne Normandie (15 minutes) as you trundle along a former railway line in Andaine Forest (10 minutes’ drive), or you can bike sections of the long-distance Véloscénie as it wends its way along greenways through Domfront (10 minutes) to the Normandy coast. The kids (most adults too, in fact) will probably adore getting up close to handsome heavy horses at La Michaudière - Ferme du Cheval de Trait (10 minutes). If the kids need to let off steam after touring the castle and museums in Mayenne (35 minutes), a kayaking session on the Varenne river from Torchamp (15 minutes) or hiring a pedalo on the lake at La Ferté-Macé (20 minutes) should do the trick. Have wander around the Wednesday-morning market at Saint-Hilaire-du-Harcouët (40 minutes) and pick up local cider, cheeses and fresh fruit for picnics, or make a day of it by visiting the abbey at Mont Saint-Michel (an hour and 15 minutes) in the Bay of Normandy.
