Welcome!

The campsite is located in the northeast of Cotentin Peninsula in Normandy. 110 spacious touring pitches are situated on neat, beautifully tended lawns, all separated by hedges. The Mobile homes are on the side of the terrain, separated from the touring pitches.

A heated pool

The swimming pool is located next to the reception building, where you will also find the restaurant with snacks. The spacious pool is heated. Next to the pool is a round paddling pool. If the little ones get tired of the water, they can let off steam in the playground. There are two sanitary blocks on the campsite. The friendly staff is busy cleaning all day long, so the sanitary facilities are always clean and fresh.

Fort de la Hougue

The area is a wonderful walking and cycling area. For example, walk along the narrow spit of land. At the end is the former fortress of La Hougue with its tower, from where the view over the Sea and Saint-Vaast-la-Hougue is beautiful.

Travelling party: Family with children, 4 – 12 years

Liked - nous avons passé un agréable séjour, personnel accueillant et toujours à notre écoute. endroit convivial et reposant.
emplacement idéal nous permettant de visiter le port la plage et la ville à pied.
chalet spacieux et confortable. camping très bien entretenu et votre attention sur la nature a marqué l'esprit de ma fille (compost poules et tri sélectif)
Disliked - Au club, il faudrait des activités plus adaptées aux ages des enfants! participer à une mini-boom, mini loto, des activités aquatiques avec animateur, leur permettant de créer des liens avec d'autres enfants. ces activités attractives permettraient au parents de s'échapper de souffler un peu.La température de la piscine était un peu juste pour en profiter pleinement!Le manque de places lors de la soirée le bonhomme en or ne nous a pas permis de nous asseoir en extérieur.Nous sommes donc repartis un peu frustrés de ne pas avoir consommé en profitant d'un spectacle qui nous plaisait.
