Haliotis Pontorson June 2022
We (2 persons and 1 dog Lola) stayed here for 7 nights in June 2022. The site is 10 km from Mont San Michel (MSM) and a cycle path at the side of the site runs all the way.
The plots are large and some are partly shaded with mature trees. They are separated by hedges.
The pool is adequate but I think in high season could be crowded. At this time with the kids in school it is possible to be the only person swimming. The facilities are unisex, no toilet seats, but paper provided and hand driers. The showers are very good.
There is a nice 10 minute shaded walk into Pontorson at the side of the river. The river is tidal and the flow up and down is significant.
The opposite direction takes you to MSM. If visiting MSM, I recommend that you use the bus from Pontorson if not cycling. To park at MSM costs 15 euros. Don't go on a hot day. Choose a cloudy day in summer or visit in another season. It is a bit like the exodus so expect crowds. There are free shuttle buses that take you the last 2.5 km or you can walk, but not cycle.
Don't take a dog. They are not allowed on the buses and the walk in hot weather is a killer.
The site has a Carrefour supermarket 10 minutes walk - turn left out of entrance and left again.
We visited the vets to get the worming tablet for the dog before our return. Cabinet Veterinaire St Michel in the centre of Pontorson. English speaking and very good with the dog.
Most people stay on the site for a few days before moving on . There is not much around apart from MSM. The beaches are about 40 minute drive. Nice place to stop to break a journey
