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.

€25 per night during lowseason
Campsite accepts ACSI Club ID
