Close to Jumieges Abbey

Stayed two single nights on way to & from Channel, as its easy driving distance, avoiding low emission zone at Rouen. The Abbey is the main attraction, an easy walk down the hill from the site. Pitches can be a bit uneven and cramped and although hedged around, this doesnt stop the feeling you are parked on top of your neighbours. Rather variable confusing layout of EHU and water taps, and facilities too few for the number of pitches when busy. Manouevring onto pitches can be tight. Nice surroundings with woodland and sports pitches. Access to the site via a drive alongside the Seine through Duclair or over the Pont de Brotonne is a lovely bonus. Handy supermarkets in Le Trait nearby, and good bread and croissants delivered on site. Jumieges Abbey and the church of St Wandrille to the north are well worth visiting.

Love it here

We’ve stayed here twice now and both times just loved its simplicity. It’s nothing fancy, the showers and toilets are ok ish, but the local village offers the beautiful Abbey and a great restaurant for lunch Le Petit Flamme, just a 15 minute walk into the village on the right hand side. We used it twice as a 2 day stop over on the way home. Getting here from the south is a faff, best way is to head to Rouen and then set course for Duclair to ensure you stay the right side of Le Seine, avoid using it before you hit the ring road otherwise you may go off course. The small bar is great for meeting people and everyone is friendly. Lovely end to our holiday and then toll free scenic route to Calais.

OK

Having read the reviews, we were expecting a bit more from this site, to be honest. On arrival we were told to make sure we kept the toilet block clean, which is a slightly odd thing to be instructed. Notices outside the toilet block stated that the block was cleaned 3 times a day - at 7am, 1.30pm and 10.15pm. Really don’t think this was the case as, on several occasions, toilet rolls had run out and the floors were dirty and slippy. Showers were also luke warm. The site itself is green, with lots of trees and pitches demarcated with hedges. This does make for some narrow pitches and manoeuvring around the site can be tight. We saw a few people having to shunt in tight spaces to avoid trees scraping their outfit. It was quite rainy during our stay and the site doesn’t drain that well. Lots of surface water sat on the pathways and pitches. The area is nice and the village of Jumièges is lovely. However, we probably wouldn’t stay here again, given the facilities and nature of the site.

quiet location

very helpful and friendly reception, lots of info. good size pitches - 49. High hedges, great for privacy but isolating if you prefer a chat. Lovely and quiet, lots of trees and birdsong. easy to walk to village, very little there, couple of restaurants and a bar. great cycling along river using ferries which are free. Too far to cycle to Rouen, so caught the bus from next village, Apparently free on a Saturday. Did not use facilities but appeared clean and well maintained. small shop and pool

What a gem of a site!

We have just enjoyed a peaceful stay at this lovely site. The pitches were spacious with privacy hedges separating all pitches from their neighbours. There are two facilities blocks, one of which is more modern than the other. Only the modern one was open during our stay and was spottlessly clean. The lady on reception could not have been more welcoming nor helpful. We had booked a restaurant before arriving, but on checking its location decided we wanted to cancel (too far to walk in inclement weather). She not only phoned to cancel the booking for us, but also recommended a more local alternative and persisted in securing a booking for us on a busy night. The restaurant, La Petit Flamme, is also highly recommended. There is an outdoor pool, which was not open during our stay and an indoor one, which we didn't try, athough it was open. The village itself is a short walk from the site and is very picturesque; a visit to the abbey ruins is recommended. We will certainly be back.

Lovely campsite

We went to this campsite recently which was low season for France. Pitches were a good size and hedged on 3 sides so nice and private. Lovely bird song as the campsite is in a wood. Friendly and helpful campsite staff. Croissants and baguettes could be ordered fresh every day. Local restaurants in Jumieges only a short walk away. Nice cycle route close by along the Sienne. Also good for walking routes nearby. Bus can be caught from nearby village (Yainville) to Rouen but you have to buy tickets on line. Rouen a great place to visit

Pleasant site in good location

We arrived from the south so used the bridge which added 25mins to journey time. Some confusion about use of the bac to cross the Seine. 3.5 tons limit, but also a problem with the overhang behind the back wheel. We loved using them as foot passengers though and it made exploring the area more of an adventure with our dog. Not a great deal in Jumieges, apart from the magnificent abbey which we were not allowed to visit with our dog. Tourist Info was useful once we worked out that we'd been trying the wrong door! Duclair, where we visited the vet for our return, was an interesting small town and a visit to Caudibec en Caux was worth a trip with its enormous gothic church. Pleasant family run site with delicious daily bread delivered.

Fantastic La Foret

Lovely site situated in the Normandy countryside with the River Seine close by. Warm welcome and information provided on arrival. Got to choose our own pitch, all were a nice size with hedges and water points close by. Toilet block modern & clean with toilet paper. No motorhome point so filled up with water on pitch. Stayed 3 nights and visited Rouen on the bus, timetable in reception. Also nice walks around, were given a walking map from reception but there is tourist information available in the town centre. Nice warm swimming pool but closed for lunch! Quiet later in the evening as gate closed at 1030pm and owners sent children back to their pitches.

Watch your route

A struggle to get here as the ferry was signed as up to 3.5 tonnes (fine for us) but didn't state until we got to the point of embarking that there was a 3m height restriction. Once we arrived we were delighted - a site worthy of the caravan club. A warm welcome (with a choice of French or English) by our host. The pitch was good with its own water supply and hedges just tall enough to be private without blocking the light or the view. Shower facilities were clean, modern and spacious. Plenty of room to sunbathe round the pool too. We only stayed one night but with plenty of access to local towns, the forest, the river or Rouen we wish we'd been here longer.

Great Location

We loved this site. Fabulous location, tucked in amongst the twists and turns of The Seine and surrounded by beautiful forests. The site was clean, the owners friendly, the facilities more than adequate. We were on pitch A06 which was near the edge of the site - less traffic, both human and vehicle. These pitches had plenty of shade which we like. Out and about - there is a Carrefour in La Trait, bars and restaurants in Jumièges and Duclair. We enjoyed driving around in the early evenings and using the free ferry crossings to circle around the river.
