Sat here watching Longest Day and planning where on there we want to visit when we go to France next year... it’s better than Google! Any suggestions for a centralish site as we want to visit lots of the beaches and museums. We’re thinking around Caen? but open to recommendations. We did Bayeaux a few yrs ago, staying at Falaise. Happy to use municipals.

Perhaps a different part of Normandy?

Sainte Mere Eglise , where the U.S parachute troops landed in 1944 and now the home of an airborne museum to commemorate them, and a smart little campsite - easily approached from Cherbourg ferry port.

Got to second madasaman's recommendation for Camping des Capucines at Ranville.

We stayed there last June whilst we did the 75th D-Day anniversary stuff.

It's a decent camp site in it's own right, but also very convenient for ferry port (they also cope with book in/out times to match ferry service), and has good multi road access for exploring the region. Convenient for local shops etc., a few 'basics' available from shop in reception. Also no sign of any of the rough camping illegals near the entrance that blights the other camp site in the area.

We found the pitch fees pretty reasonable, but others seem to have paid a little more and complained they thought it was 'expensive', we just emailed and booked direct without any special discounts or codes (or clearly, premiums!), so suggest you look at all options for booking as some may be cheaper than others!

We stayed at Falsies last June, they where constructing quite a few hard standing pitches, and major refurbishment of the toilet block.Only problem with sainte mer eglise,if it's wet weather as last year there can be quite a few boggy pitches.

Nice little site - Camping Robinson at Colleville- Sur-Mer very close to the American War Cemetery. You can walk from the site down to the beaches.

The municipal at Bayeux looks good and is perfectly located for the town and surrounding areas. Only issue for us was the 6 amp electricity as we would have been there early in the year and would have needed the heating.

Yes, agree with Camping des Capuchines. It is basic, but loos and showers are more than adequate and there is a laundry room plus a small kids play area. We used it as a base while we were working at an equestrian event in Caen a few years back and it was so convenient and peaceful; would expect the wifi is better now! There's a restaurant in the village although we didn't use it, a good boulangerie five minutes drive away and a fair size Intermarche near this. It's very convenient for travelling around the area - on our 'day off' we visited some of the d-day sites, and Pegasus bridge is also just five minutes away - do visit the cafe, although it is a 'tourist trap' it's very atmospheric.
