  • Dog-friendly site an easy riverside walk away from Bayeux town centre
  • A 10-minute drive from the Normandy coast and D-Day beaches
  • Pétanque, table tennis and playground on site; pool five minutes’ walk
Weave a scenic and historic Normandy holiday with a stay at Camping Municipal des Bords de l'Aure, set an easy riverside walk away from the town centre of Bayeux and its world-famed tapestry telling the story of the Battle of Hastings and the Norman invasion of England. More recent history can be learnt about around the Normandy D-Day beaches, around 10 minutes' drive away from base. Otherwise opt to try the many outdoor activities in the region, like the 36-hole golf course at Omaha beach 25 minutes' drive away, or the horse riding and watersports centres within 10 kilometres. The Parc Festyland theme park is also only 25 minutes' drive away for a day on the rides. The site has bikes to hire to take to the town or the coast. Also around for guests are a playground, table tennis and a pétanque court. There may be no pool on site, but there's a splendid indoor pool at the Centre aquatique Auréo, which is just five minutes' walk away from the site and free for guests to use. Those activities are sure to give you a healthy appetite, so it's handy that the site has a bread and pastries service.

Electric grass pitch

Liked Mooie groene camping, schoon, mooi sanitair en vriendelijk personeel. De ligging kort bij de stad is een plus en een mooi fietspad ( route 5 ) naar Arromanches was ook een opsteker.

Disliked Plek 28 was moeilijk om in te sturen met de verhoogde stoepranden. Misschien moet men daar wat alerter op zijn. De lengte van de camper was immers doorgeven.

Electric grass pitch

Liked Decent size of pitch for our California and the site was very clean and well maintained

Disliked The toilet block was not great. Gents was closed for cleaning at 9am on our visit and other options were, unsurprisingly, very full. That meant no shower before heading for the ferry

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked Friendly welcome.
Ordered baked goods the day before- available from 8:30 and lovely.
Each pitch is enclosed by some hedging, all a decent size.

Disliked Crossed my fingers when I drove up and down the lane to get there - narrow with no passing places.
A map would have been helpful, just to find the basics like the water tap for Moho.
Waste water area too small- unable to drive my van over the grid (6.4m van)

From the manager: Thank you for your note.
We are delighted that your stay went well.
A campsite map was given to you upon your arrival with your pitch number. On the plan, a caption indicates the water and drainage point. We would have been delighted to indicate it to you. Don’t hesitate to come by the reception when it is open.

Local attractions

Take the peaceful stroll or quick bike ride from the site into the centre of Bayeux a kilometre away, home of course to the mammoth Bayeux Tapestry, the 68 metres of 11th-century tapestry depicting the Normandy invasion of England and the subsequent Battle of Hastings. Also in town are the 11th-century Bayeux Cathedral, a British war cemetery, the Memorial Museum of the Battle of Normandy and the MAHB art museum, with paintings, sculptures, drawings, photographs, porcelain and Bayeux lace from throughout the centuries. Another D-Day museum is at Arromanches-les-Bains (10 minutes' drive) and the Normandy landing beaches of Omaha (25 minutes), Juno (25 minutes) and Utah (45 minutes) are all within striking distance. The Caen Memorial, commemorating World War II and the Battle for Caen, is 25 minutes' drive away. Outdoor activities are easily sorted with local horse riding, a couple of kilometres from the site, or with watersports including paddleboarding, sailing and sea kayaking at the nearby Normandy beaches, 10 minutes' drive away. You could also spend a day at the Les etangs de planquery (25 minutes), or take the kids to the Parc Festyland (25 minutes), themed around the events of 1066 and all that.
