 La Bucaille is a lovely sheltered site, small with generous emplacement clearly marked & easily accessed hook-up. Owners are charming and not overbearing but helpful and kind, it was clear they want their campers to fully enjoy their stay. The facilities block was always clean and cared for. The surrounding area is lovely; an estuary with sand & lots of wild life interest is quite close by & in September was more or less deserted. The local town of LHP is delightful for provisions or just sauntering. We spent 5 days in the area, there are plenty of places to visit - sorry, we don't keep a diary so cannot be specific but Mark or Mel are helpful with information and suggestions. We had a lovely time.

Just spent a lovely five days at La Bucaille, and will most definitely be visiting again. The site is very well kept and in a tranquil location, albeit only a mile or so from the local shops. The owners Mark and Mel where the perfect hosts being extremely helpful, and the welcome we received was second to none. The shower block and toilets were immaculately clean, and there is plenty of space between each pitch. Mark and Mel should be very proud of what they have achieved at La Bucaille, as it is a lovely peaceful and relaxing place to stay. It comes highly recommended from us.

Lovely CL type site set in lovely contryside with just six large pitches. The site itself is in an orchard and has immaculate facilities. The owners Marc and Mel are very welcoming and helpful- and a real bonus is that Marc is a caravan engineer!
The local town is only a mile or so a away and everything you need.
A great site if you love peace and quiet in attractive French countryside. Highly recommended

We stayed at this site for two nights. Mel and Mark were lovely hosts - very friendly and welcoming. The weather wasn't brilliant and a bolt of lightening took our battery charger out, along with whole site - sorry Mark! It was fixed (the site, not our charger) seconds later, and it gave us a chance to have a long chat with Mark over a couple of glasses of red - what a lovely man. A small site with a great CL type feel. Can't comment on surrounding area, as we drove to Bayeux and Omaha Beach as the weather was so bad, but we would love to revisit the site in better weather!

We arrived for a few days after the mad July/August rush was over (booking vital in those months) and as commented below, found a nice quiet grassed level area licensed for 6 pitches. There were only 3 units there at the time so plenty of space, and even with 6 units everything looked still spacious for kids to play. Mel and Mark are very welcoming and well informed, keeping all the facilities clean and tidy on a daily basis. Although the website pictures make the campsite look a bit plain, the overall feel is of being in an apple orchard, sheltered by trees and beautifully quiet. Perfect for our needs. We took bikes as we found the site was only a mile away from the cross roads of the French green cycle lanes enabling us to head off for the day. These lanes were again very quiet linking hamlets together and suitable for children. The town itself services most needs (supermarket/market/usual shops) and although the site is a few miles from the coast it provides fantastic value for money if you don't want the big commercial package. For that reason we loved it!

We had a great stay at La Bucaille, set in beautiful countryside, the campsite having only 9 pitches was perfect for us, as our children were allowed to wander safely, which made our stay more enjoyable!
Mel and Mark were very welcoming (it felt as though we were visiting old friends!) They gave us lots of information regarding the nearby town Le Haye Du Puits and the great beach at Barneville Carteret.
The site was very clean and well kept, the shower block and toilets were centrally located, so only a hop to the loo in the middle of the night!
We would highly recommend a stay at La Bucaille, we will definitely return. Maybe to one of their on site gites in the spring, if not then, next summer.

Lovely little site set in beautiful country side and some nice gold sand beeches not to far away. The owners are very welcoming and friendly. The shower and toilets are kept clean and tidy. The site itself is set in a small orchard. There's a swing on one of the trees for the kids to play on which they enjoyed. There's no water or waste hook up on the site, you have to collect and dispose of water etc. Using the facilities provided around the shower blocks, but it is worth the sacrifice to be on such a nice quiet site. We would definitely go again hopefully next year.

Excellent site with just 6/7 pitches which means early booking is recommended. The pitches are spacious and suitable even for large units although the main entrance is restricted to a width of 3 metres. The site is level and all grass with no hard standings.
The owners Mark and Mel gave us a very warm welcome with helpful information and even offered to help us set up.
The shower, toilet and cleaning block is conveniently centrally positioned, very clean and well maintained. Electric hookups close to pitch.
The site is conveniently located within easy reach of local amenities, shops, beaches and local attractions as well as the main attractions of the Normandy landing beaches, Mont St Michel and Bayeaux.
The ferry ports of Cherbourg and Caen are also nearby.
This is a lovely quiet site that is excellent value for money that comes highly recommended.

If you are looking for a quiet tranquil camp site close to local amenities but far enough to be quiet 'La Bucaille' is for you
Hosts Mark and Mel were there to greet us on our arrival and were very friendly, they were also
Very helpful and informative about the area. Weather reports posted in the toilet block with plenty of visitor attraction leaflets.
The camp site is well maintained, toilet blocks are cleaned thoroughly every day. Well done Mark!
Plots sizes are very good, plenty of room for our 6 man tent and space for our car.
Hired bikes from the camp site with the offer of bike helmets and found lovely safe cycle path to Portbail.
La Haye De Puit has several boulangeries (for your morning pain au chocolat and fresh bread), restaurants, banks and a good market on Wednesdays There is a Intermarche, Aldi and Carrefour
La Bucaille is close to several very nice beaches Barnville Carteret is worth a visit. D Day landing beaches and Bayeux tapestry are all in close reach.
We stayed for ten days and will definitely be back next year. We are recommending this camp site to friends and family.

Great site. Ideal for lovers of CL type sites.
Excellent very clean showers and toilets.
Lovely friendly owners
We were at the end of a five week holiday in France using our touring caravan and the site was up there with our favorites
We stayed for five nights and there was plenty to interest us in the area and if our schedule had allowed it we could easily have stayed longer.
We can whole heartedly recommend this site

Have just spent seven very pleasant - weather apart - days on this site.
Melanie and Mark are all that could be wished for as hosts and they maintain their delightfully rural, small site to perfection.
All six pitches are large but sheltered.
The local town is within reasonable (c. 25 minutes) walking distance and has a good selection of eating places and shops and holds a colourful market every Wednesday. There is also an Intermarche supermarket with cheap fuel about 10 minutes drive from the site.
There is lots to see and do in the area and the Bayeux Tapestry, set in its lovely home town, is only an hour away.
Almost loathe to submit this review for fear of the site becoming too popular and potentially full when we next wish to visit!

Site is lovely and extremely clear, in a beautiful countryside. Toilets, showers and washing facilities are spotless. Our pitch was great, plenty of space.
Mark and Melanie were there when we arrived and were very friendly and helpful.
Camping La Bucaille: highly recommendation.
Montgardon is near La Hay-du-Puits. By bike in only five minutes. La Haye is a friendly village with lot of shops and restaurants. We also visited the market on Wednesday. Staying in la Bucaille, visiting the market is recommended.

This was our first time in France with our tourer and we thought that an English owned site would be ideal in case we came across any difficulties with the language and the French way of doing things.
Mark and Mel are perfect hosts, they are friendly and full of local information. A nice touch was the weather forecast, posted in the shower block which meant we could plan our week sightseeing or sunbathing!
The site is very well run with immaculately clean showers and toilets. Mark keeps a close eye on the state of the pitches and grasscutting as well as attending to the facilities.
We had an excellent weeks' holiday and would have no hesitation in recommending La Bucaille to first timers like us or to anyone who wishes to enjoy a quiet, well situated, pleasant site where the only thing that wakes you is the birdsong.

We have just returned home from a 3 night stay at La Bucaille as part of a tour of Normandy.
First impressions were excellent as we were met on arrival and shown to our pitch, the owners gave us a tour of the site and provided advice on local cycle routes, restaurants, and ideas for days out.
The pitch was spacious and unlike many camp sites we were not crammed in, the facilities were well maintained, clean and included a fridge, soap and toilet paper.
The site is located just outside La Haye-Du-Puits in beautiful countryside that is just so peaceful meaning that we were able to relax fully and enjoy a good nights sleep. It is also in a prime position to explore the American Sector of the D-Day landings, Le Mont Saint Michel and Bayeux.
We would recommend this camp site, and hope to go back soon.
(We travelled as a couple so to give a child friendly rating is difficult)

This was a 'toe in the water trip' as it was our first time abroad in our motorhome and we were a bit nervous. Mark and Mel were extremely helpful from start to finish. We were very grateful for their patient advice both before and during our stay.
This small campsite is in a lovely rural location on a hill about a mile and a half outside the charming town of La Haye du Puit. It's very well situated for travelling around the Cotenin Peninsula or the D Day beaches. The site facilities were really good and very clean and there are stacks of shops/supermarkets in and around the town so no need to starve!
We didn't have bikes but noticed lots of dedicated cycle routes through the countryside. We deviated from our normal practice of parking up the van and using public transport and travelled around everywhere in our motorhome. This was far easier than in the UK with good, quiet roads and plenty of free parking virtually everywhere we went. We actually felt welcome in our van which makes a change from in the UK.
The D Day landing beaches are superb and all easily reachable within an hour from the site. Barneville-Carteret and Cap de Carteret were lovely and only a short drive from the site.
We also visited a cider farm in St Germain - la Pert (Vergers de Romilly) which is worth a trip as are the many markets.
Sadly the weather wasn't kind to us although I understand that is pretty unusual for this time of year.
So. Did we like it? No. We loved it and will be back to France and this site as soon as we can! I would recommend this site and it's friendly owners to anyone. I think all the previous reviews speak for themselves.
