Camping Le Cormoran is the ideal basis for anyone interested in the Invasion of Normandy. Visible traces of this are never far away; the camping site is even directly located along the invasion beach, Utah Beach. It is just a matter of crossing the road. Le Cormoran is a well-organised, spacious camping site where you will find an international crowd. In addition to the historical aspects, the camping site and surrounding area are excellent for camping fun with an abundance of sun, water and sports/games.

Well maintained and comprehensive camping site

This camping site, which is easy to reach, is located on a flat site with lovely grass. Le Cormoran is a well laid out, neat and comprehensive camping site. Close to the reception you will also find tourist information, a shop, bar and take-away pizzas. The roads over the camping site are signposted so that you can easily find your camping pitch.

Comfortable camping pitches

The spacious pitches (approx. 100 m2) are level with well maintained grass. They are often separated from each other by hedges. There are also larger fields with each approx. 10 pitches. You have a choice of several comfort pitches. You can also rent mobile homes. The historical area is certainly a contributing factor for the public that chooses this camping site; history fanatics from all corners of the world stay at Le Cormoran to visit D-Day museums and commemoration sites.

Sports/games and good facilities

There are ample sports, recreation and wellness facilities. Enjoy yourself on the outdoor fitness equipment, various bouncers or the spacious sports fields. The swimming pool has a covered and outdoor section. Obviously, they also have a toddler pool. A grocery shop is present on site and take-away pizzas are made on the evening.

The very best campsite especially for its location on Utah Beach for the 75th D-Day celebrations. We will return again. Many thanks.

stayed over on the way back to Cherbourg a lovely campsite right on the beach, a little quite around the area ie shops etc but handy to all the dday features along the coast , stayed on 11/12 june and fairly quiet on site heavy rain some days before and some pitches waterlogged but soon dried out, helpful English speaking staff 1st class toilets and shower block / washing up facilities with red hot water, large pitches with good degree of privacy, nice site.

A large site right on Omaha beach and not too far from Utah and Juno. Good sized pitches and excellent shower facilities. The receptionist gets confused with pitch numbers and who\'s where. It took a lot of walking around the large site (cant take car through until you have your pitch sorted) before we found that the pitch allocated to us had already been taken then we had to find an alternative. Not what you want after a long drive. Once settled though we were happy with the site. Lovely to be able to walk onto the beach. I would happily recommend Le Cormoran just hope the receptionist can sort out the pitches.

This site was very busy when we arrived as it was the weekend before the D Day Landing celebrations. The staff were very friendly and very helpful. The pitches were very spacious and very easy to get on and off. They were divided into groups of 4 or 5 pitches which made them peaceful and private.
The facilities were clean and were maintained regularly. The site was full and there was sometimes a queue for the showers, but they were plentiful and there was more than one block so you could have tried elsewhere as opposed to waiting.
The staff spoke good English (and other languages).

Amazing site. Right on the beach. We have been visiting this site for many many years and it has developed into a great facility. Near to Normandy landings. Close to Cherbourg. Right on the beach . Perfect for kids as has a farm horse riding and lots of activities.

Inspected annually

"Camp site with spacious, marked pitches located at sea. Ideal base to visit the places of interest from WW II. During the high season, grill room on sunday morning."
