from 41 reviews Write review

Camping Riva Bella is situated along the canal from Ouistreham to Caen. This former municipal camping of substantial proportions is situated in the heart of a protected nature reserve. You will be warmly welcomed by Katja, the manager, to this green and well maintained campsite.

Lovely grounds

There is ample space for many guests on the beautiful site. Tents and caravans are kept separate from the camper vans. All pitches are more or less the same size. The campsite has new bungalows for rent. They have been placed in such a manner that several families can stay here together. In high season the campsite is frequented by families with children whereas in low season there are many senior citizens.

Wellness facilities and activities

Near the heated swimming pool is a terrace where you can order drinks and snacks. The spa, sauna and jacuzzi are very popular with guests. Children will not get bored in the pirate playgrounds. In the small camping shop you will find the basic necessities. Across the campsite you will find several large supermarkets. In high season several activities are organised for guests.

D-Day and beach excursions

You can exit the campsite via a gate with a code, so that you can go for a walk or cycling along the canal to the renowned Pegasus bridge. This bridge was recaptured by British units in the night of 5/6 June 1944, who herewith created an important link for the invasion units.

The landing area Sword Beach was one of the main landing areas during D-Day. The campsite organises regular excursions to the landing beaches for guests.

we have stayed at this site many times prior to catching the morning ferry. this time however 27 October 23 we were turned away
and advised it was reservations only. the site looked empty. I think the app should be updated!

Good site for a few days prior to or after the ferry. Good to note that if you arrive on the late ferry security is there to let you in.
Ouistreham is a nice town. worth a day or two and there are several WW2 sites locally. you can ride along the canal into Caen taking in Pegasus bridge along the way.

Liked - A really lovely campsite that we had booked for 1 night when we got off the ferry but so wish we had stayed for a couple of days. Really well looked after site with loads on and near the town.

Liked - Campsite is in a great area and we have been going to you now for several years
Disliked - We were on motorbikes and the barrier wouldn't work with motorbikes so we had to ride across the grass. Nit good when it's wet and sloppy. Maybe you could open up the road a little where you've put the pallet planters for ease of access and egress.

Very handy for the ferry port at Ouistreham, the pitches are well maintained and shower block clean, the staff are helpful and polite. Only down side,had to use two leads to reach our van but not a great problem.

Used as an overnight stop off the ferry and on return - i.e. overnight stay. With change of ownership to Tohapi group had difficulty communicating to ensure that the gate would be open off the 21.30 ferry - it closes at 23.00hr. so OK and early exit for the 8.30. ferry. We were in the overnight basic section, the premium pitches look very good, well screened. Staff helpful - very esy to find off the ferry.
