Perfect location for the Ouistreham ferry, less than 5 minutes drive. Friendly and helpful man on reception and as we were staying only one night said we could pick any pitch
Pitches were lacking grass but that’s not really fair to complain about as its end of season and also a very dry spell of weather. The water taps where we were didn't inspire confidence and the drainage was a little clogged up on some of the water points.
The sanitary blocks are due for well needed refurbishment which should enhance the site a lot.
Our problem was noise – there are a number of pitches with tents and caravans with permanent fixtures / awnings. Sadly there were a group of at least 6 in one of these caravans who were shouting and making a lot of noise up to midnight. On another pitch there were a couple of vans pitched alongside each other with doors opening and shutting well passed 1.00am, not ideal when we have an early ferry crossing. In hindsight we should have pitched well over to the far corner which may have been quieter. Hopefully with the improvements promised it may deter these types of occupiers.
Would we use it again ? Unlikely until we get some feedback on the improvements promised which is a shame as its potentially a very good site with easy access to Ouistreham with its restaurants, the Normandy beaches and of course the port
Note: Whilst we were travelling as a couple we wouldn't have been happy to have used it with our children when they were younger due to the condition of the toilet blocks hence the low rating for that aspect. Apparently a new swimming pool is planned for 2017
