L'Ésperance is a campsite in Normandy, located near the beach and the English Channel. You camp on a playfully landscaped campsite, where the touring pitches are delimited by conifers. With its beautiful swimming pool and modern sanitary facilities, this campsite is very suitable for families with children. Ideal for a day at the beach to swim or look for shells.

The campsite is located in the French department of Manche, on the Normandy coast. The seaside resort of Denneville-Plage is located roughly off the British island of Jersey. The campsite is situated just behind the dunes, five hundred metres from the beach.

Family campsite on the coast

The campsite attracts many French and Dutch families, who seek refuge in a quiet part of France. On the campsite you can relax and unwind, even though once in a while the regular guests can have an enjoyable time until late in the evening.

Complete campsite

The 35 touring pitches are separated by beautiful conifers. Apart from the touring pitches there are about twenty mobile homes and lodge tents and also permanent pitches. The outdoor swimming pool is situated behind the reception building. Part of the pool is shallow so the smaller swimmers can stand there easily. There is a small bridge over the pool to a paddling pool for the little ones.

Heated toilet block

The toilet block has ample facilities and is heated. There are separate sanitary facilities for children and disabled people.

€21 per night during lowseason
Campsite accepts ACSI Club ID

Liked - Our family loved the pools, water slides and splash area. The bar area was really nice and the staff were very welcoming and friendly. The shower blocks had lots of showers, basins and toilets so we never had to queue.
Disliked - The pitches were quite close together, but this wouldn’t prevent us from coming again.
