Does anyone know of a decent site we could use, we are a family with 2 young children, for the final few days of our holidays before catching the ferry fgrom Le Havre?  We will be travelling from Southern Brittany and want to to be about an hour from the port.

 

Merci.

Domaine de Catiniere is just near Honfleur and is a nice little site for a couple of days. Friendly owners and very convenient. We stayed there on the way and way back from Southern Brittany a couple of years ago and would stay again. Just be aware that it was a speedos only rule for the pool which caught us out!

Try Chateau Martignay, see my reviews. Friendly site with great access to the Normandy beaches/ Bayeux etc and only 45 min or so from Le havre

I hope I'm not piggybacking on your thread, but we rather liked the look of La Foret for a stopover on the way back to the ferry.

Castel Camping Le Brevedent

Review Here

An hour to an hour and 30 minutes drive from the port - has an early departure pitch at the entrance with hookup etc. - used it many times with the Le Havre and the Caen ferries.

Many thanks everyone may look at Martagny as this is directly on our route back to Le Havre and closer to all the WW2 sites.

The German Radar Museum at Douvres la Deliverande is worth a look if you are doing the WW2 stuff - as well as all the beaches etc.

Camping Municipal at Etratat is lovely & well maintained if you want to spent a bit of time somewhere pretty. Lovely pebble beach & restaurants nearby. We watched the sun go down ther 2 weeks ago!

Hi

We've just booked on to Le Bois Coudrais. We chose it because it looks very family friendly and the reviews on this site are good. 

I'm not sure exectly how far to Le Harve but not too far because we're going back from Le Harve.

Enjoy your holiday

Jen

Camping Catiniere is excellent, stayed here a few times, tent & caravan. Good location & very helpful owners. We'll be visiting this site again this summer.
