First the positives, good stopping off point as Rouen is sort of midway to where we wanted to go, very peaceful so great nights sleep and jumieges abbey is worth a visit. Negatives are. The site is tatty and needs a shake up. We had heard the fearsome reputation of Madame, confirmed by a couple just leaving, and we weren't disappointed ! The loos arent great but average for France I suppose?
Even though there is a wood on one side of you you have a trek out of the gate and round the site to access it when you walk your dog. Wouldn't go back there but it's ok.

On our recent holiday to France we visited this site twice, two nights on the way down and one night on the way back. I have read some of the other reviews but I really don't understand some of the complaints. Someone complains about the lack of English spoken. Get real, you are in France.
We found all the facilities more than satisfactory. The only real problem is access to the pitches with a touring caravan. The pitches themselves are of a more than adequate size, easily enough room for car caravan and awning but the roadways are very narrow and do not allow sufficient room for the swing of the car when reversing the caravan. Hence a bit of shoving is required. Not to difficult as the roadway is tarmac and level.
The local town is charming and there are supermarkets and fuel within 4 kilometres.
A handy stop after a tiring overnight ferry for a couple of days to really start your holiday.

We have just returned from a holiday in France and stayed at La Foret for 2 nights on our way down to Le Chaponnet, near La Rochelle and 1 night on our return.
The site at La Foret was excellent with very helpful staff, ample site parking facilities with full services and modern, clean toilets/showers.
Although the pool was quite small, my 10 year old twins had a great time.
The on site shop is a bit limited although there is a bread van that comes around each morning at 9. 00am.
The local town is worth a visit for the old monastery and a very helpful tourist information centre, located just behind the post office.
We will certainly visit this site again and thoroughly recommend it.
The only negative point for anyone travelling South as we were, is that if you are towing a caravan, be careful not to trust the Sat Nav!
This takes you to a river crossing at Jumieges where caravans are not allowed!
It was a bit frustrating after travelling some 7 hours to get there on our return journey and I completely forgot about the crossing.
Eventually we found a helpful french person who directed us to the 'Pont Brotonne' about 10km away.

Lovely quiet site, easy to reach from Dieppe and probably other ports, lots of lovely trees for shade and a great small covered pool and kiddy pool.
There is a small shop. We booked this site online and it cost 30 euros for our van and family of 4
I guess it's quite remote, we didn't visit the ruined abbey but would do so on future trips
WE found it great for our first night in France and would recommend it.

Booked for three nights through Caravan Club. £90!
I was really rather disappointed with this site firstly due to its location, in one of the quietest parts of Normandy away from a main town, about half a mile out of the village centre. My father and I cycled through the village - Jumieges to Du Clair on Saturday but nothing was open! A 30 min drive into Rouen introduced us to some history and culture on a very wet Sunday but it wasn't until we drove to the coast to Honfleur on Monday where Normandy really started to shine.
Secondly, the site itself is basic and the owners speak little English but I got by with my GCSE French which got me a few things such as two bikes for hire and a map. The site is tiny but the pitch was ok and being surrounded by trees (La Foret) it remained quiet - that is, until the bread woman drives around beeping her horn at 8:30am!
The pool was a joke! No changing rooms (the owner simply pointed to some shabby outdoor loos) and forget swimming lengths as the shallow end was near enough a puddle - it came up to just below my knees!
Toilets/showers were ok but lacked hooks and no toilet paper. Why?
This is a retired couples stop-over - I would not bring my daughter here.

Nice small site. Two toilet blocks the smaller one has very small shower cubicles and only one hook for hanging clothes so only take a minimum of things in with you. Madam on reception speaks some English but not much, previous comments have said she's unhelpful but I found her to be helpful as I struggled through with my very bad french. Bread van comes round every morning except Monday at about half eight. Site details say total cover wifi but it didn't extend to where we were by the television room. Nearest supermarket with petrol at Le Trait, . Reasonably priced restaurant directly opposite the abbey. , four course set menu 17 euros and all very nice. , they understood that British well done, means well done and not still raw ! Ferry at both Jumieges and Duclair not possible with caravan on two unless it's exceptionally high tide, don't try it unless you want a calamity. Weather wasn't very kind to us and pitch did get waterlogged.
