Why stay here ...

This pretty campsite situated on the edge of Pontorson and close to St-Malo offers a warm welcome and comfortable stay. Enjoy breakfast in the bar area next to reception, or have a dip in the pool complex. There's a mini farm and playground for children.

The pitches are neatly laid out on grass and separated by hedges. Although many are open and sunny, some are shaded by trees.

Haliotis’ proximity to local attractions makes it popular, with the spectacular Mont Saint-Michel being within cycling distance. A bus service runs from near the site entrance to the major towns in the area, including St Malo. Explore nearby Pontorson town’s boutique shops and small winding streets.

Not the best

Haliotis
We recently stayed at this site in October don’t want the crowds. Have stayed previously and was great. But this time the blonde haired lady was rude not helpful stuffed her face with sweets the blanked us to talk to some just arrived French people didn’t even say anything to us when we walked off. The gentleman was helpful and polite there also a resident cat of one of the staff. I felt really sorry for it looked as though someone had kicked it she flinched. Poor thing harassed you for food never left you alone tried to bite or hiss when you tried to get it out of your caravan even got in the car when hitching up for the ferry total stay was not best disabled shower was dark no lights the glass dome over it was dirty and leaves and hairs in shower as well. I know we went in close to closing for winter time lovely warm weather though but not be going again. And the nearest restaurant at the end of the road rude and belittling owner tried to make a spectacle out of us by shouting so everyone could hear nope never again.

Good site for visiting Mont St Michel

Haliotis
We stayed here for 4 nights in July 2023. Great site for visiting Mont St Michel. Only a short drive away and there are shuttle buses to take you from the ca rpark to Mont st Michel. Plenty of parking spaces. Alligator Bay is well worth a visit if you have children. Friendly site staff. Showers were clean and hot although we mostly used our van. Restaurant not very good but lots of restaurant / cafes available near to the site. Pool was very cold bit of a shock in the heat of the day,

Overnight Stop

Haliotis
Stayed for one night in a standard pitch while traveling south from Cherbourg. Staff friendly and helpful. Pool was extremely busy and crowded so our kids didnt like it at all. French toilet block, no toilet seats but clean. Pitch was ok but would be bit tight with awning, car and caravan. Excellent for cycling to Mont Saint Michel, flat and about 9km. We cycled over in the evening, it was surprisingly busy on the cycle path! The site is very close to the town and a supermarket for food and fuel.

Nice Site but .......

Haliotis

We used this site in July 2023 as a base to explore the area including Mont St Michael and St Malo. Easy access even if you go through Ponterson. The serviced pitches are near the river and although the photo shows them to be sunny, you are in fact under trees which make the pitches very shaded. If you want an open pitch I suggest you go for a standard pitch or the en suite pitches which are not under the trees. There is a small pool and a bar but the so called cafe only serves chips. Its a short walk into Ponterson where there are plenty of restaurants. The toilet block is typically French (no toilet seats) but the toilet by the pool and bar does have a seat. The staff are friendly and helpful. We tried getting to Mont St Michael but it was just too busy for us with the car park being full by 11am so we gave up and went to St Malo which was much easier to access with big car parks near the harbour and sea front. Overall, its a site I would happily use again if visiting that area.
