Why stay here ...

This welcoming site offers plenty for families or those looking for a central base from which to explore Normandy's highlights. It has been attractively landscaped, with some pitches overlooking small fishing ponds, and a modern building where a bar and restaurant are housed. Evening entertainment is held in the bar area, but the site remains largely peaceful even when busy.

Port’Land is just along the coast from Arromanches and within easy reach of many of the World War II sites, including Utah and Omaha beaches, and the region’s many cemeteries. A bus service to the medieval city of Bayeux stops a five minute walk from site. Caen also merits a visit, with its castle – once inhabited by William the Conqueror – and abbeys.

Great site and location

Stayed here for 3 nights and just loved this site. Pleasant and helpful staff. Great big pitch. Lovely little wooden door (need a security fob to get in and out) leads you out onto a delightful and quiet country lane with views out to sea and a short stroll into Port en Bessin with lots of interest, restaurants, Sunday market, fresh fish market, a beach, harbour walls to walk around etc. Also very well located for trips to the D day beaches/memorials and Bayeux.

Beautiful site

Stayed here in May/June 2018 and it is lovely. Welcoming staff, very helpful. Very clean, lovely bar/restaurant (nice ice cream!). Can walk to village (down steep hill tough). Lovely clean indoor pool. Quiet site, so went we stayed only a few other kids, but if you want quiet then its for you. Great location to all D-day memorials etc. Would definitely return.

Fabulous Family Holiday

We stayed for 12 nights in the height of the August summer holidays and yet this was not a problem. We booked a "super" size pitch and were glad we had as some of the pitches were particularly small and if you haven't got a mover (we haven't) I imagine it would have been difficult to get onto. The staff were friendly, helpful and approachable. The toilet facilities were clean and the showers were hot and powerful (very!). The wifi kept my teens happy during the evenings and although we never participated, there was a full evening entertainment itinerary. We used the outside pool which was cool and busy but this was to be expected in peak season on a nice day. The whole feel of the site is relaxing and even though it was at full capacity during our stay it never once felt busy or crowded. The walk into Port-En-Bessin is lovely and we would do this most evenings. The hill back home is only a problem if you're invalid or lazy and then you can drive. The Super-U supermarket is a short drive in the car and every D-Day beach/museum etc is just a pleasant 10-20 min drive away. Bayeux is also on your doorstep. We watched wonderful fireworks in Friday night in Port-En-Bessin (only in August) which were beautiful to watch. On our last evening we had a meal in the restaurant which I can recommend. The food was superb and plentyful. We had an early ferry back from Caen and so made arrangements with reception to pitch up on our last evening in the car park so we could make an early get-away. I can't recommend this site enough. We travelled with 2 teenagers (15 & 17) and can hand on heart say this was one of the best family holidays we've had.

Great location

Spent 5 nights here. Arrived at 8am and as pitch was free could set up. Handed over CaravanClub card as deposit for fob to Access site. Our pitch was 84 and was big and most pitches looked a good size but access may be tight. Free WiFi was available near reception. The facilities block had lots of showers and toilets again we're cleaned daily. Plastic matting was on the floor. The site has lots of trees which is why there were twigs in the sinks but there are indoor sinks if a problem to you. . It's a large site but due to pitches being very private didn't feel it. We ate in the bar on our last night which was very good. Location is excellent for visiting world war 2 sites and Bayeaux .And only 45 Min from Caen ferry port.

lovely location but...

loved the location. We cycled to Bayeax and American Cemetery via quiet lanes. Site backs onto a quiet lane near golf course and a short walk, short steep cobbled section into lovely Port En Bessin with its own daily fish market, shops, restaurants etc. Visited in June and extended our stay even though was not impressed with toilet/shower cleanliness, although cleaners in twice a day....., what was needed was a deep powerwash clean to removed ground in dirt in corners, edges etc. Plastic matting in showers slimy. No soap in toilet for 5 days even though this was reported. In covered area adjacent to bar, glass coffee tables had same ring stains for the whole of our stay, and the lampshades covered in cobwebs complete with flies.. Nice outdoor area to sit and have a drink or use free wifi. A lot of debris in outdoor sinks, twigs, leaves etc which remained throughout our stay, Outdoor pool not available during stay even though it was June, although there is an indoor one but not as nice for lounging etc. Staff very friendly and helpful, good english speaking. Felt the site security was compromised by a farmers type gate chained, could easily by climbed, backing onto lane at the rear of the site. Such a shame these things were lacking as it is in such a lovely spot.
