Le Picard is a small, green campsite in Tournières, in the Calvados region. You camp here in the beautiful countryside of Normandy. The campsite is located in the centre of the village, behind an old farmhouse. There is a small lake near the campsite. The campsite is small and basic, but the service and quality of the amenities are very good. Enjoy the heated swimming pool, the playground and the restaurant.

Camping or renting?

When you drive to your pitch, you will see well-maintained grounds with grass surface in front of you. The number of pitches is limited here (35). There are pitches with and without demarcation. The degree of shade also varies for each pitch. Some pitches have no grass, but a pebble and crushed stone surface instead. The 21 rental accommodation units on Camping Le Picard are owned by people who stay here regularly. Three of them are available for rental.

Mini swimming pool and lake

The swimming pool is small but adequate. It measures some 5 x 10 m and is open from mid-June to the end of August. The swimming pool lies directly behind the restaurant. The lake is located near the entrance of the campsite. You are allowed to fish here, but you have to return your catch to the water.

A simple French meal

You can enjoy a good meal at the restaurant of Le Picard. This has a cosy ambiance. It is a simple establishment, more like a canteen. You can order a 'menu simple' here, but in France, 'simple' often means delicious. There is no campsite shop, but in July and August, you can get daily fresh bread.

Travelling party: Family with children, 4 – 12 years

Liked - Excellent location for visiting WWII cemeteries and museums. Some amenities were not available due to time of year but we knew before we visited. Reception (especially Delphine) were very helpful and the bathrooms were spotless.

Travelling party: Seniors

Liked - No problems booking online as our last stop prior to catching a ferry from Cherbourg. A relatively small campsite, family owned and operated. A warm welcome on arrival, brief explanation re. facility locations etc. Pitch well defined by hedgerows with ample space for awnings etc. Good to see the heated swimming pool open despite it being later in the season.
Disliked - Non-Availability of croissants/baguettes disappointing - apparently due to demand dropping off as the autumn season approaches.

Lovely little gem of a campsite. It’s kept meticulously clean and well maintained. It’s within an hour’s reach of Cherbourg. Hope to return.

Liked - A very peaceful pretty site in the Normandy countryside. Delphine and Laurent work tirelessly to maintain the cleanliness and neatness of the environment. We are regular visitors and store our caravan at Le Picard. I noticed how new visitors to the site are welcomed individually by Delphine or Laurent showing them to their pitch or cottage as well as a tour of all the facilities including the garden they have created which visitors are welcome to pick the fruits. We were fortunate to enjoy one of their special Friday night fish and chip evenings deliciously cooked by Laurent on our last night.

Liked - The owners were very pleasant and helpful, and the facilities and swimming pool were kept very clean. Having a small restaurant on site was a bonus. It was very good value for money.
