  • 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.

Liked The site was really lovely with such friendly staff. It was in a great location and very peaceful. The perfect base for exploring Normandy and all the historical landmarks. We loved going into Port en Bessin for food and drinks. The showers were really hot and powerful. Such a reasonable price to stay in the summer holidays. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting a simple and chilled place to stay.

Powered grass campsite

Liked Layout, organisation, friendly welcome

Disliked Very tight pitch which, together with the adjacent pitch, looked like it had been divided into 2 by a diagonal hedge. This left us with an entrance opening about 4m wide. We could only get on the pitch by unhooking our caravan and manoeuvring vie the motor mover.

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.
