Normandy D-Day tour post GCSE

Le Cormoran
Just returned from a trip with my 16 year old son. Stopped here and used a VW camper + tent, found the site to be ideally located opposite UTAH beach. Pitch was a good size with water and electric, shower blocks were fine and always had hot water. Staff were friendly and welcoming without fault. Shop was handy for bread etc. Bar and takeaway pizza service too. Pool looked lovely. Overall very happy and would not hesitate to recommend. Ideal for touring the D-Day sites and museums. Also, excellent cycling opportunities in the area.

Great site - shame about the showers

Le Cormoran
Enjoyed our stay St Le Cormoron but the only thing that was disappointing were the showers. There we too few and very cramped but worse than that there was a distinct smell of au de drains! And the floor had a slimey feel to it so we chose to make full use of our serviced pitch and showered in the caravan instead. Other than that the site was great.

Pleasant but large campsite

Le Cormoran
This campsite has all sorts of facilities so great if you like everything on site. I can't fault the site but it was a bit big for us. The site not only has touring pitches, which are a good size and all individually hedged, but there are also a large number of static caravans. There were lots of facilities for children and a swimming pool. There was also a bar, shop and restaurant offering snacks and takeaways. You could order fresh croissants and bread every day. Facilities were very clean, but as with other campsites we have visited in France are all unisex with toilet and shower cubicles but also urinals all in one space. It is located near cycle routes along the coast and lots to see and do. A visit to St Vaast and Titihou island is really worth it.

Excellent site for children (and adults)

Le Cormoran
Stayed in August 2019 on a premium pitch with its private sanitaire for 15 nights. We used this site last year and it was equally as good. There's plenty of activities, a weekly programme. We had very English weather, gales rain, floods but this didn't spoil the time we had. I found the staff to be patient, understanding and very efficient. The electrics are Uk style but we had two occasions when we lost power to the shared bollard, caused I think by the German neighbours who used an adopter that evidently wasn't waterproof. We did have reverse polarity on pitch 143 but I had a waterproof adapter. The weather wasn't fantastic we had some storms and gales but this isn't uncommon in Normandy. Places to go to, plenty of D Day exhibitions and museums. We thought the D Day experience at Saint Come du Monte was excellent, the museums are fairly standard but the 3D cinema was well worth a visit. Two members of staff in particular were fanastic, Aurelie who was on the shop most mornings and my friendly barmaid Caroline who said she understood my dodgy French.

Excellent site

Le Cormoran
The site I found was ideally situated for WW2, locations and museums. I stayed a week 6/2019, the weather was very rough with gale force winds, which with the brilliant pitches, being sheltered by some lovely trees, we were kept safe. There are four toilet blocks, and are regularly cleaned to a high standard. The snack bar/Bar had only limited opening hours during June, which was a shame. A group of young people were allocated to a pitch, with their four tents, and their radio was so loud, it may not be suited to all. I was very impressed with the staff, some of whom had more than one role, literally running to get things done. I would visit again.
