We stayed here in a Eurocamp tent and thought the site was lovely. It took about an hour and a half to get to from the ferry at Cherbourg. The receptionist was lovely and were happy ro listen to my dodgy French or speak in English!
The park has chalets, mobile homes and eurocamp tents as well as pitches.
The new service block by us had excellent facilities, at least 12 showers, around 10 sink only cubicles, 4 toilets (never had to wait but seemed not enough for high season), 4 washing up sinks and 4 washing machines and 2 driers. Also a urinal section and a baby room with baby bath and surfaces to dress/undress baby.
The bar opened at 6. 30 every night apart from Monday. Stella was 4 euro, local cider 2. 30 euro and childs squash 1. 20 euro. Coke was 2 euro a glass. The games room is 2 euro a game of pool, there are computers you can use (pay at the bar), wifi available at a charge too. TV generally set to music channel but could be changed by yourself (French and German channels).
The takeaway opened at 6pm every night. Pizzas, salads and chips. Nothing very exciting to be honest. The shop is well stocked and you can order baguettes and croissants the night before for the following morning. The shop opens 8-11 and 5-8pm. There is a large supermarket a 5 minute drive away which would be better for a week's worth of shopping.
The outdoor pool wasn't used much but it was cleaned every morning and covered over at night. My husband braved it and reported it to be of a reasonable temperature. The children and I preferred the covered pool. 2 small paddling pools, a deeper pool for swimming and 3 different slides. There are no changing facilities which caught us out on our first visit.
There were 2 bouncy castles that are inflated all day. Our girls love these. They also loved the play area. Although they were disappointed there were no swings.
There were bikes to hire at reasonable cost, a lot of choice from bikes for small children through to adults including child carriers and child trailers!
We visited Granville and enjoyed the harbour, the restaurants and the aquarium. We went to the zoo at champerus (?) and the market at avaranches.
However, if you are thinking of going to Eurocamp tents here, I would not bother. I was disappointed with the experience and vow never to leave my poor tent at home again!

Initial view on entering was disappointing, the site looked quite 'down at heal', although we did get a warm welcome. We were with friends who where in a mobile home. We had been put at the top end of the site, which looked liked it needed some TLC. Lots of flies around, meant no sitting outside. The other end of the site near to the 'Chateau' looked much nicer and what I expect from a French campsite. The mobile home was clean although again the outside needed some TLC, nowhere nice to sit outside. Most of the other mobile homes had nice decking areas.
The swimming pools were good, although the indoor one is only open 10 till 12 and 3 till 6 - 5 hours each day is not very much. (I have marked down the site facilities as I do not think the pool was open long enough)
Location - not a lot around the area. Mont St Michel is about 40 miles away and is well worth visiting, but I would choose somewhere nearer to there and St Malo
The showers were clean. The laundry area was closed though.

We stayed here during Whitsun 2011 week in a Eurocamp tent. We all thoroughly enjoyed our time, despite my initial concerns that may be there wouldn't have been enough for my children to do (ages 11, 13 and 15). However, these turned out to be unfounded as we all had a great time!
The site itself was very quiet, despite being half-term and there were plenty of pitches available if you were bringing your own tent/caravan. It got busy towards the end of the week due to Ascension Bank Holiday in France on Thursday.
The kids play area was very well-maintained and was in a central position within the campsite. The campsite itself was immaculate and very picturesque. There was also a fishing lake which you could fish from free of charge. The campsite is part of the Les Castels chain, and the staff were very prominent in keeping the site clean and tidy.
There are 3 shower blocks on site.The 3rd one which was nearest to us was brand-new and opened this week. Can't speak for the other 2, but our one was spotless and the showers were the best I've ever had on a campsite! No push-buttons and you could control speed and temperature yourself. There were plenty of washing-up areas and washing machines/tumble dryers in each block. We never had to queue for shower/wash-up etc.However I do like to take my time over my coffee and croissant so often didn't get to have my shower until after 10am.
There are 2 swimming pools - an indoor complex with slides and an outdoor pool. Quite small, but was warm and quite often we had it to ourselves! The indoor pool complex was good. The baby/toddler bit was up at the top with loungers around the side. The slides had smooth landings rather than a plunge at the end, which was quite nice for the younger children.
The site had a small bar (which we didn't really use), a takeaway - we did use this a couple of times, which was quite good. There is a small shop on-site which was reasonably priced, but then you do expect to pay slightly more on-site. However, there is a Geant supermarket about 5 minutes up the road towards Granville.
We didn't do a huge amount of sight-seeing whilst we were there. We went to Granville a few times and took some superb sunset pictures from the Roc. We went down to the Marina one evening. We also went to the beaches at St Pair and Jullouville. Both are safe for children, although the tide goes out quite a way! We also visited Jullouville market.
All-in-all, we had a fantastic time. Weather was glorious the whole time. Would I go back to this site again.? Absolutely! In fact, planning to go back next May!

We only stayed for 3 nights but I wish it could have been longer.
One day was overcast and chilly but no problem because the indoor waterpark is all heated. The waterpark was fun for all ages (including grown ups)! I had to drag my kids out of there at closing time!
The kids play area is well equipped and safe.
The shop is reasonably well stocked and not overly expensive.
Showers & loos were not perfect but as good as any I have encountered in campsites, in fact better than most.
Downside is that our pitch was at the bottom of a tree lined path and it seemed to act as a wind tunnel, so was always cold and windy even when the rest of the site is warm and sunny.
Pitch itself was easily big enough for our tent, cooking and dining stuff.
On site staff all very friendly and helpful.
Heaps of stuff to do locally, Mont St Michel is a must.

Stayed here for 10 nights in our touring caravan with our 3 children aged 6,7,7. Lovely site, very clean and well maintained.
Indoor pool lovely, slides perfect because they land in shallow water which means even children who aren't strong swimmers can go down alone. Outdoor pool a little cool and small but still nice.
Pitch was spacious, opposite toilet/shower block which was kept clean. Only gripe about this would be that there is no soap/handryer.
Site shop is well stocked, lovely fresh croissants & bread each morning. Very well situated, meaning that the children could go to the shop each morning without going anywhere near the site reception (where there may be more cars).
Bar - reasonably priced drinks, lovely terrace to sit on, children's play area a 30 second walk away. Games room good.
Kids club great, lovely English speaking lady who is fab with the children. Always on the lookout for your rubbish - yoghurt cartons etc.
All in all, would definitely recommend this site, cannot really fault it at all.
Well done to all the lovely staff who are friendly, polite and welcoming!

We stayed at this campsite for 10 nights and could have stayed much longer!
Our pitch was opposite the play area which was ideal as our young children could go back and forth without crossing paths / roads etc. We paid for a grand comfort pitch which we were glad about as the regular pitch would have been a squeeze for our tent (Vango Amazon 600). We had electricity and water on our doorstep.
The indoor water park was amazing. Really clean and water checked regularly. Toilet block was clean with loo roll, but no soap or hand dryers. Also unisex, which took me a while to get used to!
The bar prices were fair and the takeaway service very good, although a restaurant would be a great addition to the site. The shop sold fresh croissants and bread every morning (very reasonable but get there early to avoid the queue's!)
Lovely village near by (St Pair sur Mer)and plenty of walks to do by the sea. Only 10 mins from Granville where you can catch a boat to the Chausey Islands. About 45 mins from Mont St Michel and about an 1hr form St Malo.
Kids loved it especially the 'Kids Craft/Colouring tent' which was available for two 3 hr sessions every week day. Ran by a lovely and helpful English lady!
Would love to return there again!
