We stayed here for 10 days during the dday celebrations and I have to say a great site we stayed here a few years back and it has list its polish slightly. But its in a great location for Normandy and we really enjoyed our time here. Fully serviced pitch but the water tasted of chlorine. The shop is ok great pool and the kids park is fantastic. But the attention to detail on the up keep wasn't as good as previous a door in the shower block was broken for the ten days we were there. And the disabled toilet had no loo paper while we were there.
But these issues didn't spoil our holiday and I would recommend this site great people and a great site once they catch up on all the little bits it will be a
We have just returned from a week tent camping at this site and found it to be generally excellent. The facilities are good and the pool complex is the best I have ever experienced on a campsite. There are 3 main pools and in addition a slide pool with 3 straight, fast slides and another twisty slide. There is a 'lazy river' in one pool which is superb and a fountain and bubble beds in another. The final pool can have a glass building pulled over it to make it indoor - perfect on our one gloomy day. The water is on the cold side but it is not as bad as some pools I have experienced! The toilet block is very modern which is both a good and bad thing. It is good because it is all still very clean. The bad? The sink cubicles only have one hook and no bench/shelf so I put things down on the side of the sink to then discover that the taps are automatic. The taps shot on and soaked the things on the edge of the sink! In addition one of the handwashing sinks in the ladies did not work all holiday nor did the single fancy Dyson hand dryer. There was also no hand soap for 3 days. The showers were great (apart from the single hook/no shelf/bench). They are pushbutton but the temperature is controllable and the water lasted for several minutes on one push. The pressure is good too. The temperature was a bit variable - one day barely warm, the next boiling hot. The site is in a great position to visit the local area. I can highly recommend the 360 Cinema at Arromanche and the Cite de la Mer in Cherbourg.
Now for my two gripes. The noise. There are signs up around the place reminding people to be respectful and quiet after 10pm and totally silent between midnight and 7am. The hypocrisy of this is staggering as the 'entertainment' goes on until way past 10pm and is unbelievably loud when you are in a tent! We thought we were quite a good distance from the bar but the noise literally booms across the site. On our last night a marching band marched through the campsite at around 8pm which was quite amusing. It wasn't so amusing when they started up again at 10. 15pm. For those in a mobile home or cottage it probably wasn't noticeable but in a tent. I just happen to have a decibel meter on my iPad (don't ask!) and the level was 85 in our tent every evening from between 8pm to 11pm. This may not sound much but I like to have a nice relaxing sit outside my tent in the evening and the karaoke/disco/general shouty DJ spoilt this every night. In addition they obviously have no one patrolling the site at night as for 2 of the nights the group of students a few tents down were still running around, shouting and laughing at 2am. Fortunately when I went to complain I was told they were leaving that day. The toilets are also very intimidating at night. A couple of times I went to the toilet block in the middle of the night to find groups of French teenagers/young adults hanging around drinking and shouting (and engaging in other activities in the cubicles!)
2nd gripe - some of the pitches are very small and awkward to get onto. We have a 6 berth tent which is quite large but certainly not the biggest tent I have ever seen and we had to put it on at a really strange angle and could barely get the car on too (it stuck out onto the road). This meant that we had no space at all for sitting outside the tent and there was no area anywhere for throwing a ball/playing badminton etc.
Despite these gripes overall the site was great and I may consider coming back and staying in a mobile home but I don't think I would camp here again.
Lovely site. Staff were friendly and helpful. The pool is amazing and the kids loved it. However it wasn't as heated as we expected and on all but the hottest of days this made visits short. Our 4 year old kept coming out for a dry off and a warm with blue lips. Toilets lovely and clean and there was lots of hot water in the showers.
Down side was the size of the pitches - they had to allocate us a different one on arrival as the one initially given to us was too small to fit our twin axle on. The one we were given wasn't much better and we just managed to fit the caravan, small awning and car on it. There wasn't much room for the outside table or our daughters play blanket. Also the trees are well established and although this is quite nice it made the pitch and most of the others we saw very shaded.
Would visit again but would specify a pitch now we know the bigger more sunny ones.
Excellent site with easy access for all motors. Lovely on site shop with nice smiley staff. Pitches could be bigger as some park their cars in spare pitches. Lot of rubbish blowing around pitches and the yellow site maintenance van drives too fast. That said lovely swimming pool and bar, free wifi in bar area, easy walk to lovely beaches and promenade. Price was 26. 90Euro a night but the takeaway was reasonably priced. Yes I would go again. Reception very helpful
We stayed here for two weeks over Easter in our touring caravan.
The pitches were large and easy to access. There were plenty of water and drainage points. The toilet / shower block was brilliant. Spotlessly clean, hot water and plenty of toilets and showers.
The bar and restaurant were open every day and served reasonable food.
The shop on site was comprehensively stocked and reasonably priced. Staff were exceptionally friendly and nothing was too much trouble.
This was our first time at this site, a party of 5, our pitch was a very good size for our need, s. Granny has a walking problerm, and is in a buggy. But she had no problerm getting around this site, or in to the very good shower block. My children are 9 and 6, I don't think there was one day where they was not bored, the swiming pool was fantastic. The beach was a bit full of seaweed, but good fun, loads too do around the campsite, loads of places to drive out too, I have told my friends that if they want a good priced camping hoilday, this is the place to go, I will be paying this site a visit again.
Booked this site as we wanted to visit some of the Normandy beaches and museums, but thought the children deserved a bit of fun at the pool area, after visiting some historic sites. The pool was better than expected, with some fast slides, some rapids and an indoor pool for the wet days, but the water was too cool for me.
BUT and it is a big BUT, as soon as 8pm hit, the disco started at a painfully loud level, so much so, that we couldn't even talk to each other in our camper van. We went out to get away from it and came back at 10pm hoping it would soon stop. It didn't stop until midnight, at which time we all had headaches and were beside ourselves.
There were lots of empty pitches further away from the disco area, but after already moving pitch because our allocated one was rather small and being met with a frown from the staff, we daren't ask to move again. We scoured the local hotels first thing the next morning and found one for a couple of nights and moved immediately off the site.
If you have children of an age which enjoy a very loud disco every night and beautiful beaches within 10 mins walk, then this is ideal, but if you plan to tour the historical coast of Normandy, then I would chose somewhere a lot quieter!
Overall a good site in a very interesting area although there wasn't too much in St Aubin itself and the beach was completely covered in seaweed. We drove along the coast towards Ouistreham and found much nicer beaches for sandcastles etc. Normandy beaches, Caen and Bayeux worth a visit and very accessible from St Aubin.
The site is located at the end of a residential road and as other reviewers have stated it seems quite awkward to get into with a large caravan/campervan, we were stuck behind one for some time as it tried to get out past a delivery van at the barrier one day.
We didn't eat in the restaurant as it seemed to be just chips etc served in the bar to the accompaniment of the bingo or whatever entertainment was on that evening. Wifi was handy but sometimes overloaded and slow.
The kids thought the pool was great and loved the slides, even in August it wasn't too busy, though the sunloungers were often all taken up with towels as usual! They were bored at the kids' club which was all in French, I think they were the only English speakers there that week so stopped going. There were a lot of Dutch families on the site but their kids weren't at the kids' club! The bouncy castles were a big hit but the playground and the plastic ice rink weren't great. The playground and bouncy castles are not visible from the bar so you can't have a coffee and watch them play which was disappointing.
The site itself was well maintained and pleasant, we were down towards the back having requested a quiet area away from a main access road and didn't experience the noise reported by other reviewers. This was our first year risking an August holiday and we were pleasantly surprised at how uncrowded everywhere felt, both on and off site. There are so many places to visit we will need to go back to Normandy as you couldn't do it all in one trip but will probably find a more rurally located site next time.
Positives> great pool for kids (including young toddlers) good kids park. Friendly staff, ideally located for d-day beaches etc.
Negatives> This may only be due to going in the High Season and our location being near the main toilet/shower blocks but I would not re-visit this site with a young child who you needs to get to sleep before 12-1am. The bar closed early enough and the music stopped but there was no sign of any on- site warden to round up the teenagers & stop them screaming. It didn't help that the toilets had a nice indoor area for everyone to 'hang out'
To be honest it wasn't just the teenagers- some adults were noisy too and lacked the general campsite manners you usually get! Of course this may not be an issue if you are in something more soundproof than a tent. We left a day early for a quite night in a hotel - it was that noisy!
We camped here for the easter weekend. My parents had the adjacent pitch with their caravan.
The pitches were an adequate size, and more than ample for our nevada m and extension, but our maryland xl would not have fitted.
First impressions of the site was very good, very clean and tidy, and all staff were very friendly. I had the misfortune of losing a credit card, and the reception staff allowed me to use their computer to look up the number to report it.
The toilet block was always spotless, and as previously stated there is almost always someone about cleaning. The only comment I would say is that it wasn't the warmest of toilet/shower blocks, but that is a minor issue.
On a safety concern there is 2 shallow ponds either side of the 'bridge' into the building, which are not fenced off and I would be concerned that someone could fall in, especially if the wooden bridge was wet.
The rest of the site was very well maintained, and statics were in a good state of repair. The shop was well stocked, and not excessively priced, also not the cheapest.
We used the bar in the evening, but did not eat there. The food is typical fast food offering, and served quite late with being very busy in the evenings. The had a band on in the evenings, which was quite loud if you were near the bar area, and if you were trying to get young children to sleep, it would not help. All was quiet by 11. 30 though.
We did not use the swimming pools, as there was so much to do in the area we only spent the evenings on site.
The only bits on site which looked tatty and dated were the thomson alfresco / vacansoleil reception area (separate from the main yelloh reception). This was only a minor blight.
We used our asci card and paid 16 euro a night per pitch. The reception did not even ask to see our acsi card. We did reserve in advance as it was easter but i am not sure if it was necessary.
We do not do 'resort' campsites preferring the smaller independent sites, and as such this was our first visit to such a site, and overall I was very impressed, and would visit again, however our preferences remain unchanged.
