 We stayed at this campsite for three nights on our way down (eventually) to Lot et Garonne. It was adequate.
Showers and toilets were very basic. No toilet roll. Men's toilets were worse, according to my son and husband - they both commented on the smell and general poor state.
Pitches were relatively generous but high turnover of people meant no feeling of calm.
Water on each pitch was good. Be careful though as next door's tent used our electrical hook up.
Very large site so toilets can be quite far away. Mostly statics.
Reception was not particularly friendly and not particularly informative.
There is a restaurant and creperie. The creperie is very basic and situated in the car park - table amongst the cars. But the lady serving was really friendly.
The restaurant had a full menu outside but when we went inside it was just a bar that had seen better days.
Swimming pool complex ok - you pay a deposit for bands which you must wear.It looked much better in the pictures and adults weren't allowed down some slides!
Campsite was generally quite noisy.
The best things: Honfleur close by and a delight to visit. Also the beaches were a small journey away and again very pleasant. Largeish intermarche next door is really useful and sells lots of camping related stuff.

Stayed here for 7 nights, had a lovely holiday as with any holiday there where good and bad points.
Good points: even though it rained the kids (9 + 6) were entertained either in the pool or the basketball/football court, park, or games room.
Showers were cleaned at least twice a day but due to bad weather the smaller block ( I cant comment on the others) did get a little muddy.
Varied entertainment every night, and good entertainment for kids, ( magic show, kids disco, bouncy castle)
On site take away looked fantastic and there was a local fruit and veg stall on wednesdays and saturdays.
Supermarket 5 mins walk, sold petrol and gas,
Most of staff very helpful
Bad points; if sat nav sends you through Honfleur try find alternative route we got stuck!
Barrier in and out of site open between 7.30-23.30 so if you have an early ferry like we did we had to leave a day earlier and find another site because they wouldn't open the barriers at 6.30 am so we could get our 9 am ferry from Caen.
If kids take bikes be careful people drove fast around site and there are lots of little avenues.
Our first pitch was supposed to be grass but in fact was mud, they did however let us change pitches but we had to sacrifices 10a electricity.
All in all had a really good time, friends of ours stayed at same site in a chalet which was basic but clean and warm. She we had to leave a night early due to barrier but we know for next time

I am writing this review some time after the visit so things on-site may have changed. We stayed for a week.
Site: Like many on continent, broken up into fair size individual pitches, there was a large field for younger (kid free) campers but it didn't get raucous. Flat but a few dips and hollows on some pitches (one led to us getting flooded).
Main toilets/showers clean and good. Some of smaller blocks a little less so, inclusive of bizarre outside urinals ! Didn't use on site bar but we did have a few takeaway crepes - fantastique.
The crowning glory of the site was the swimming pool complex - absolutely brilliant - our kids (then 9 & 11) spent hours and hours in it. Supermarket 5 mins walk away which sold petrol and camping gaz. Staff friendly. Would stay again.
Location: Just outside the fantastic Honfleur. A 2 min drive (turn right out of campsite) gets to a fabulous viewpoint that overlooks the town. Rheims an hour or so away - really good, visit the cathedral - and Givenchy just about within reach (we called in on way up from Paris)

To Find Site:- Leave A13 and join A132 in the direction of Deauville/Trouville. Leave motorway after only a short distance and take D579 in the direction of Honfleur. After about 8kms continue on D579 towards Equemauville. At roundabout in village with the water tower on your right follow signs for Intermarche Supermarket, the site is about 200 metres further on the right. (It is possible to reach this site via Honfleur but be warned that some roads are quite narrow and it is a very busy place, particularly on Saturdays when a large market is held)
Camping La Briquerie has around 375 pitches with about 150 being for touring units, the rest are taken up with mobile homes. Pitch size is around 100 sq mts with some being larger and they are all delineated by hedges. All have electric supply which is either 5 amp (the norm) or 10 amps is available on the larger pitches at a small extra charge.
Water supply and waste water disposal is shared between pitches. Rubbish bins are provided at the rate of one every two pitches, which whilst convenient they don't enhance the look of the site! There are several toilet blocks dotted around the site which are of a acceptable standard with seated toilets but no paper provided.
The site is certainly well equipped with other facilities which include a Bar/Restaurant/Takeaway. There is a good swimming pool complex, a fitness room and solarium. Bread can be ordered from the Reception for the following day. Also available in reception is internet access via a PC, at present the site does not have WiFi although they hope to have this installed for next year.
The site offers a discounted rate for holders of the ACSI Card in the low season. Whilst this site is a useful stop over point for a short stay I am not convinced I would want to use it for a longer stay. With one exception I did not find the reception staff particularly friendly or welcoming. It is only my impression but I thought that touring units were the poor relation to the owners of the mobile vans on site. Date of visit, second week of September 2007.
This campsite makes a convenient stopping off point for all Ports from Cherbourg to Dunkerque. It also has the advantage that it is only a fairly short journey from the site to the delightful town of Honfleur. The coast towards Deauville is also close by. For shopping the supermarket is virtually next door, about five minutes of foot.

This site is in an excellent location very close to the lovely town of Honfleur. We used this site as a stopover on our way to the Vendee and found it to be perfectly adequate for this purpose. The pool area looked very nice but we felt that the site had a 'tired' look about it, as if it had once been very nice but needs a little TLC.
The toilet blocks were clean with plenty of hot water. One area of the site was a lot nicer than the rest and judging by the length of the grass under the caravans in this area, it was mainly seasonal pitches.
The pitches varied in size, some quite small and others reasonably sized. There was also a large open area for backpackers and overnighters to pitch wherever they could fit in. This area was very busy in the Summer and quite noisy, although to be fair, France had just won a match in the World Cup when we were there and there was a lot of general exhuberance because of this.
The main thing this site lacked was a shop although there was a small supermarket within walking distance. Fresh bread in the mornings would have been good on site rather than having to walk to the supermarket.
I think overall, this site is a typical 3 star French site which needs a bit of TLC but we would have no hesitation staying there again for a short stopover.
