We weren't sure about this site as seemed more commercial than we would usually use so turned up on spec for 1 night only.
Proved wrong as we found it absolutely fantastic and ended up stayng for 5 nights.
Super lovely welcome at reception, we didn't have a booking but checked in within minutes.
Given an enormous pitch next to facilities, hedged for privacy but not too high. The pitch was pretty sparse on grass but was very firm and not muddy.
Facilities block always immaculate - showers very warm rather than hot (yet showers in swimming pool roasting so we used used those), water to all taps piping hot including laundry and washing up.
There were several units on but it wasn't at all busy so felt very peaceful.
The swimming pool and wellness suite both remain open till 2nd November, big enough to swim lengths and we never saw more than a handful of people in there. (Outdoor pool closed).
Good shop selling all sorts from toys to bread. Restaurant and snack bar open lunchtime and evening - except Tuesday.
A Carrefour Express less than 5 minutes walk from site, open 7/7. In the village, 10 mins walk away, we found plenty of small shops, bars and restaurants, although late in the season good feeling of things being open. It was a 5 minute drive to Juno beach museum and other 5 onto the beautiful marina.
To be honest we think if we came mid summer it wouldn't be for us as we like peace. But end of season this is a cracking site and lovely little village.
We paid E25 per night with ACSI but did feel the pool facilities in late September made it worth every penny via mobile
This was our first night on this holiday and the location is ideal for the Portsmouth to Caen ferry.
The site appears to be very large with a mixture of touring and static / cottage type accommodation.
The reception and check in area was quite busy but once on the site we were pleased with the pitch.
Most pitches are quite shady which was good after being in the sun all day.
The toilet facilities were really nice, it was like entering a spa with a small water feature outside and relaxing music inside. We didn't use the bar or pool facilities nor the grocery shop.
The site is fairly close to many D-day beaches and also for visiting Bayeux.
To be honest this is not the type of site we usually stay on, but we were plesently surprised, your Holliday depends on you you can get involved with the entertainment or have a quiet stay.
We called on the off chance on a Saturday afternoon with out booking and we were plesently met with English speaking receptionist and given a pitch with our acsi card, the site is about 15mins walk from the town centre, which has a very nice prom.
Also as mentioned in a prior report the toilets are very clean, also there is a bar swimming pool and a shop come takeaway, yes we would stay again if in the area via mobile
Stayed here for 3 nights beginning of May 18 to visit the Normandy beaches on our way through to Spain. Didn't book ahead, but due to local school holidays, pitch choice was limited which was unexpected. However, used ASCI card to book a pitch with electric, water and waste (2A 1 Dog) for a total of 55.30 Euro including tax.
The D7 entry road in the town has the expected speed humps to be aware of, and a couple of chicanes, but access is very good from the motorway. There is a pull in on the right for new arrivals which is good use of the fairly small entry road to the camp.
The reception is small but well staffed and speak many languages. They ask you to walk round to choose your pitch from a selected number ringed on the site plan whilst you leave your outfit in the arrivals area. Then report back where they complete your booking and take the money.
The site is, at first, confusing, with numbered plots not appearing to run concurrently, so take care to understand the road system, which is two way entirely. There are quick walkways between some pitches to get to the reception area, which also houses the pool complex, the bar/restaurant and outside entertainment section. The supermarket is well stocked if a little expensive. There is a large Intermarche supermarket within a couple of miles if you need it.
The toilet and shower building is exceptional and warrants the 5* rating alone. But there is wear and tear in places due to heavy people traffic that could become a hazard if not maintained. I guess pitches could get boggy in wet weather due to underlying sandy soil, but dry at time of stay. Plenty of room for 7. 5m van and car, plus room for extra tent/awning if needed. Pitches surrounded by high hedging, giving good privacy.
Entertainment in French (as you'd expect) and provided throughout the day, although limited at the beginning and end of the season.
This is the second time we have stayed here and will be our last sadly we did not enjoy it as much as 2 years ago. This campsite is no longer owned by yelloh and sandaya has taken over.
We arrived after a very tiring 200 mile drive from brittany, our pitch was available and we set up on a good size pitch. Last visit we had to pay a refundable deposit of 20 euros for the water tap which connects into your water by your pitch, this time its 30 euros and the maintenance guy come and fits it, which is good except we had an old pitch which only needed a small connection which he did but trying to explain that on leaving we didn't the whole tap and getting the refund was a little frustrating.
The electric - Last visit we did not need an electrical adapter but on this pitch we did and admittedly it was something we weren't aware of having camped all over France we had never encountered this issue. Again they wanted 30 euro deposit which is not an issue but when your tired and just want to set we were loosing patience.
The toilet block is great and clean the showers good with really hot water.
The pool indoor and outdoor both open and so was the bar. We watched the England match but at 10pm the bar shut with a room full of English fans and the game wasn't finished, I know its low season but people are still on holiday and still want to have a drink whilst watching football.
The prices are very expensive and camping there with the ACSI card does make it cheaper but now charging 19 euros a night compared to the 17 euros 2 years ago for no better facilities and 6 euros a pint this site is getting too expensive. We had a fabulous time here 2 years ago but this time we felt isolated from other campers. Its a good location for accessing D DAY beaches but to be honest its an 50min - 1hr drive to utah beach, omaha beach and saine mere eglise and there are closer campsites at cheaper rates we noticed right in the thick of d day memories.
We got free wifi in the bar and the food is ok but again expensive, the shop is well stocked and there is an intermarch and hyper you within 5-10in drive which was good value. We didn't experience any issue with getting petrol.
We found saint aubin sur mer a very sleepy village with not much going on we went to the casino but they had shut the bar at 9:30pm so we left. This part of Normandy is beautiful and steeped in history we will definitely be visiting this region again but not at this site
This site is a really large complex and has good facilities, although we only stayed over 4 days we enjoyed the bar/ restaurant on site. As we were in a Motorhome it was a useful location, and we didn't go off site to eat - a 'family' would probably need to go into town. It was a little expensive for the pitch size, and we had a slight problem when we had wild camped one night - our 'original' pitch was re let and we were moved.
Situated in a pretty town, easy to find, decent area to pull in whilst booking in. Told to go and look aboyt and choose a pitch if we liked the place. We chose the biggest of the pitches on their site map, not for its size, but for its position, it still wasn't a big pitch! The other pitches with caravans on, looked tight for space.
The sanitary block is nice, decent showers with good water pressure, hairdryers provided.
The pool area doesn't live up to the pictures of it! And a little health and safety wouldn't go a miss covering the tracks of the indoor pool cover between the inner and outer pools to avoid injury (my OH hurt his foot).
There is a decent shop on site and a decent laundrette, although be careful of the floor inside the laundrette, as it is in bad need of repair, and no, covering the problem with mats does not solve it!
I also witnessed some disgusting behaviour of campers emptying toiley cassettes, so I'd highly recommend you take rubber gloves and disinfecting wipes with you.
Overall, the site was ok, but I've seen better 3* sites! would I return? No.
We have just returned from this campsite having spent 10 nights there.
Unfortunately the weather was not brilliant and in fact the journey from Calais was in some of the worst rain we have encountered since towing.
Site is well signposted and in a lovely town, very pretty.
On arrival there is a handy pull in area which would take a couple of vans. Check in was easy and the staff friendly and welcoming.
We were holidaying with 2 other families and had asked to be together and the quieter area of the site (having read previous reviews regarding noise from entertainment) we were allocated pitch 13 which was perfect, close to the sanitaries (toilets, showers and pot wash - more about this later)
When we arrived at pitch there were some really large puddles and so placed the caravan and decided to leave the pitch to drain before putting the awning up. Returning after a dry hour or so the pitch was still very wet but we decided to get on with setting up hoping the pitch would dry further during the stay.
Our friends pitched adjacent were very wet also but as they had tents again there was little option but to pitch.
We had rain most days and the pitch did not fair well with lots of standing water and puddles which did not drain well the soil seemed very clay based and so not very porous.
The site was very nice, lots of trees and shortcut paths and children enjoyed cycling round the roadways.
Lovely shop for essentials, freshly baked pastries and breads which we used every day.
The pool was COLD, the indoor was bareable the outside was not for me or my 4 year old although my husband and 7 yr old braved it for the water slides which they enjoyed but daughter did come back with blue lips.
Sanitaries were very nice, cleaned regularly, the toilets had paper, soap and a decent hand drier and the showers hot and a good water flow. Pot wash was large and inside and mostly clean (why some campers find it impossible to clean up after themselves is beyond me!)
Play area for kids was nice with a variety of play equipment and bouncy castles with a seating area for the adults (you could even purchase a coffee or beer at certain times of day)
All in all a very pleasant site that we would use again should we return to the area, lovely beaches nearby (the beach within walking distance was VERY seaweedy) lots to do nearby with D-DAY beaches, museums, bayeaux tapestry, castles, etc we had plenty to do.
Our only issue would be with customer service - we reported our dodgy electrics which we had to tape together to work, and the tumble drier that failed to work (no refund forthcoming)
I booked two camping places at this site as we were meeting family for the D-Day celebrations we were informed before arriving that they would not be next to each other but we would be a close as possible.
On arriving to this wonderful campsite we were greeted by the staff in reception very warm and friendly introductions very informative and English excellent. We were given a map of our pitch and when we got there our family members were right next door a very pleasant surprise.
The pitches are excellent, spacious and very flat, well maintained and the campsite is immaculate.
The showers and toilets are always clean, we never had to wait ample facilities for all. Short walk down to the sea through the town which we did most evenings.
The site bakes its own bread am and pm which is delicious and we had everyday. The restaurant and take out we never visited but from what we saw it all looked good.
The pools are great and a welcome addition on D-DAY as the sun definitely had its hat on.
The only downside was having to leave we had such an amazing time and a perfect base to explore the D-DAY sights. We are already planning a trip for next year to this site.
Have just returned from a lovely weeks stay at this site.
Very well laid out, plenty of room on pitches.
Toilet block very good, quite new. Always clean and never had to queue even with site being full.
Bar and restaurant ok, reasonable prices on food and drinks.
Shop adequate, lovely fresh bread and croissants baked on site.
Able to walk to village where there is a butcher and a supermarket.
Bus station 5 minutes walk from site, buses hourly whichever direction you go.
Staff in reception very nice and helpful.
Would return again definitely if in the area.
