 Just had 2 weeks at this lovely secluded woodland site, Mark & Mel work tirelessly in making sure this six ehu site is well kept, and everyone receives a warm welcome, nothing is too much trouble. Both are very helpful knowledgeable about the Normandy area, they have lots of leaflets and information on display on things to do places to visit etc. The site has 2
Toilets and showers which are regularly cleaned and more than adequate, nice touch with the air freshners in the loos and in the washing up area, the use of a fridge for campers to keep food and wine, beers chilled.
We met some lovely people who return back year after year.
Hopefully we wont be too long in booking our return to meet up again at this quaint petite gem, , , Merci Carol & Darryl

We have just returned to the UK after another visit to Mark and Mel's lovely site in Normandy. We first visited 3 years ago. The weather was not particularly kind to us which was disappointing but did not stop us getting out and about to all the wonderful locations available within a reasonable distance for great day trips out. We visited Mont St Michel - which was magical and a must do!
The site is beautifully maintained by Mark and Mel who are always on hand with helpful advice. Being a small site, with the feel of an orchard, it is cosy and has all you need for a comfortable stay.
Our friends accompanied us this time and stayed in the Gite on the same site, which was very handy and so this option is great when holidaying with friends who do not camp or enjoy the delights of caravanning! The Gite is really nicely presented with a lovely log burner and BBQ which despite inclement weather, we were able to use with our friends!
The Tour de France was actually passing through the local town of Hays de Puit so there was much excitement and lots of bunting out with all the locals entering into the spirit of the occasion.
The local beaches are superb (particularly for dog walking) and of course the famous Normandy beaches are not far away either with all the history and fascinating museums to explore.
You will not be disappointed in visiting this site! Mark and Mel will give you a very warm welcome.

Recently returned from 10 days at this absolute gem of a site. Recommended by a colleague it was our first trip abroad with our caravan and we are so glad that we decided to take the plunge and chose La Bucaille to stay at.
We sailed Poole - Cherbourg and then the site is an easy 45 minute run along very quiet roads. Thanks to Mark & Mel's detailed instructions we had no problems at all locating the site once we reached La Haye du Puits the nearest town (about 5 mins drive away). This is a small CL/CS style site with 6 large grass pitches, you have access to EHU and free wifi (should you want it). Two unisex showers are available in the facilities block and we never had to queue the whole time we were there. The showers and toilets were also kept very clean which was an almost never ending task given the rather inclement weather. There is also an undercover washing up sink and fridge available should you need them.
The site is ideally placed for exploring western Normandy and the D Day beaches there is so much to do locally we ran out of time (excellent excuse for a return visit). La Haye du Puits has all the facilities you need including 2 supermarkets and lots of other lovely shops and restaurants to try out.
Mark & Mel (the owners) are very friendly and helpful, they made us feel very welcome when we arrived and were mines of information about places to go and restaurants to try. Mark also helped sort a problem with our water pump whilst we were they for which we were very grateful.
We had an absolutely wonderful holiday at this site and we will definitely be back - highly recommended.

We have just spent 5 nights at this lovely little site. We received a warm welcome from Mel n Mark who were very informative of the local area and amenities.
We had a slight problem with our van n Mark was most helpful and loaned us the tools to rectify the problem, being a caravan engineer!
The site is only 6km from the most wonderful peaceful beaches. Our dogs were most impressed!
The town of Le haye du puis will have everything you will need and it's only 1. 5k away.
Despite the town being quite close this is a very quiet peaceful site and we would highly recommend it to anyone
We are in process of buying a property in France and will definitely stay there again when we need to return. Thanks for everything. Ann n Tim

We have just returned from our third annual visit. This is a lovely, peaceful, well kept CL type site, spotless san. Facs. , easy reach of delightful town and access to the network of cycle/walking routes. The deserted beaches (in June) are 10 mins drive away, providing miles of uninterrupted flat sand. The owners provide a personal welcome and service, making us feel honoured guests and anxious to return. Highly recommended site, booking advised in busy times.

We have stayed at La Bucaille in May and September for the last two years. This is one of the best sites we have ever visited, peaceful and with scrupulously clean modern facilities (including a fridge if needed. ) Mark and Mel are very welcoming and caring owners, who go that extra mile to ensure that their visitors are happy. The town of La Haye du Puits is within walking distance, lots of shops, restaurants and plenty to see. There are a number of supermarkets such as Super U, Lidl and Aldi within a 10 mile radius. Within easy distance there are miles of sandy beaches stretching the length of the coast. Two of our favourite places are Barneville Carteret on the west side of the peninsula and St Vaast le Hague on the east, both places have lovely harbours, fresh fish to buy, quaint shops, great restaurants and walks. We would most certainly recommend La Bucaille for those in search of a peaceful holiday in idyllic surroundings. We shall certainly be back!

We have just returned from our second visit this year, to this truly lovely campsite. Mel & Mark, the young couple who own the site are a super couple who have worked hard to provide the perfect place to enjoy France, they are the perfect hosts, nothing is to much trouble for them, always stopping to chat to their. Guests
The site is perfect, so pretty, tranquil and beautifully looked after. The toilets and showers are spotlessly clean, the entire site is of a very high standard. Exception value for money, so glad we found it!
The local town of La Haye du Puits is only five mins away by car, it has several super restaurants, all serving lovely food at excellent prices. , and numerous shops, and a Vet is in the town to deal with Pet Passport etc at really reasonable prices. A market takes place in the town main area each Wednesday, and is a treat to visit.
The site is ideally placed to visit places of interest relating to the war, etc, in fact there is always somewhere to go and something to do, or the perfect site to just relax and recharge your batteries, and it is only approx a 45 min drive from the port of Cherbourg.
We have already booked for 2016. Thank you both for another blissfully restful holiday.

This is the second time we have stayed on this wonderful site and it was just as good as the first stay. Mark & Mel are very friendly and greet you with a warm welcome, if you need anything you only have to ask. The site is ideally situated only a 5 minute drive to town where there a great selection of restaurants and shops. A 10 minute drive in the opposite direction there is a huge beach that stretches as far as the eye can see. The site is very well maintained and the shower and Toilet block is kept spotlessly clean by the owners. Needless to say we will be back again in the near future as do many of their customers who seem to go there year after year, which is not surprising as there is so much to see and do.

We have just returned from spending two weeks at this site.
Mark and Mel are really friendly and keep the site spotless, this is a small site with about 7 pitches but all have loads of space in between.
The toilets and showers are kept immaculate and there is always plenty of hot water.
The DDay beaches are within easy reach to visit, there are some lovely beaches to visit. Le Haye de Puits is the nearest town a few minutes drive and has everything you need. Supermarkets and Petrol Stations are also close by.
We will certainly be visiting again!

Guys what a beautiful camp site.
It is such a lovely laid out site and the owners Mel and Mark are so thoughtful nothing is too much trouble. The site holds approximately 7 pitches and it is not rowdy at all. Even those people who brought children were well behaved. The toilet and shower block was cleaned thoroughly each day. Constant hot water at all times. Pitches were exceptionally lovely and large, we had enough room to put up event shelter to take shade and do cooking.
The town La Haye du Puits is walkable but we went by car. There are a few good supermarkets and fab restaurants there. There is a main pertol station which is quite cheap to tank up if you need to on the way home which is what we did. To the left of the site is the route to the beach which is also good and not to far to drive. There is plenty of free parking there and it is clean.
Site is located central to main routes to everywhere for those who want to get out and explore the area. The only bad thing about the site is that we had to come home! Booked for next year already. Site is simply heaven!

A return visit to this site. Once again we were struck by the high standards in every aspect, from the cleanliness of the sanitary block to the state of the grounds. Mark and Mel work hard to keep it like this. It is reassuring to have a caravan engineer on site! As hosts, Mark and Mel strike a balance, always available but not intrusive, the feeling is that we are guests and not merely clients - a difficult balance to achieve! We are not the only visitors to book for next year as we left, which speaks volumes for the site and it's owners.

This is one of the best small campsites we have stayed on before in France. The site is just beautifully laid out and so peaceful and quiet. We had a superb pitch with so much space around us. The owners Mel and Mark are just delightful. So friendly and helpful and what a welcome we received. The facilities on site are cleaned continually to a very high standard. The site is within walking distance of La Haye du Puits and we enjoyed the two restaurants there and the weekly market. We like cycling and the site is perfectly situated for many cycles routes. The site is also in easy reach of many beautiful beaches and pretty towns and villages. We will definitely be returning here. It really is 5 star. Thank you

Lovely quiet site
Stayed at la bucaille for 7 nights. The site is beautifully kept, everything is spotless and Mel and Mark are friendly helpful hosts. Cannot fault anything. Also, we were really pleasantly surprised by Normandy, lots to see and do, it's not just the D day beaches!
Thoroughly recommend la bucaille if you like quiet small sites.
