Center Parcs Style Camp
Les Ormes, Domaine & Resort
Visited August 2022 for 13 Nights.
This site is conveniently situated being 90 miles from Caen and easy to find as it is literally just off a main road.
The main issue with this very busy site is that as you drive past Reception you have to drive through a busy thoroughfare. People are either walking or riding their bikes as you drive in or out of the site and are oblivious to traffic. This can be challenging if you are towing a large caravan particularly if they are setting up the early evening market on a Tuesday?? as the road is made even narrower!
Except for that…
The pitches are fine, not over generous but ok for double axle with full size awning, room to sit and have BBQ and room to park the car, we have had bigger. Apparently lots of pitches have disappeared over the last few years and have been replaced by mobile homes .
This is Northern France so the weather will be similar to Southern UK, we were just fortunate to be there during a heat wave. The range of activities on offer is great. Horse riding, Pedalos, Zip wire courses, climbing wall, archery etc, all reasonably priced. My 10 year old daughter loved this site and did most of the activities, some more than once!
I should mention the fabulous golf facilities, which we did not use.
The swimming dome is great and contains slides, wave pool and lazy river, it was busy but not over crowded in August. If you want to do a proper swim you can if you go to the Hotel pool on site .Lots of loungers which was a big plus.
The toilet block in our part was modern and clean but a bit more dated elsewhere.
It was a long walk from our pitch to Reception, about 15 minutes, down a steep hill which was worse on the way back!
The evening entertainment was poor in comparison to what we have seen elsewhere.
The site mainly has a mix of Brits,Irish and Dutch with a few other Nationalities. The site pub even served Guinness on draught!
The take away had long queues before opening times, we did not use though.
The on site Spar is well stocked and contains everything you would need, however, if you fancy a spin the nearest supermarket is 10 minutes away.
Local attractions are Mount St. Michel which is a must visit and pretty medieval towns such as Dinan are close by.
