  • Quiet site 10 minutes by bus from Lisieux town centre
  • A short drive away from Norman villages and the Normandy Cider Route
  • Wooded and shaded, with a pétanque court and ping pong table
Among the green slopes of Calvados is the historic town of Lisieux, where a huge domed basilica towers over half-timbered houses. And on the outskirts of this town is Camping de la Vallée, a quiet, wooded and shaded site that’ll act as your launchpad for exploring said town, as well as the oh-so-pretty hiking and cycling trails of the Normandy countryside. After arriving at this green location, the logical course of action is to take a brief inventory of what’s there. Camping de la Vallée has a pétanque court, a ping pong table and an assortment of small games for children – that's your downtime sorted. Practical matters like washing or brushing your teeth are sorted at an (unheated) amenities block with six showers (three for each gender), a baby-changing corner, a shower and an accessible toilet. Next on your to-do list might be bagging some groceries at the supermarket a few minutes’ drive away. Picnic or packed lunch supplies are always useful to have, considering that the site is a short drive away from the hikes of the Pays d’Auge, including the Normandy Cider Route, which goes through Norman villages like Beuvron-en-Auge (this one's half an hour’s drive away) and apple orchards. It’s a breeze to get into Lisieux from the site, too, with a bus stop directly in front of the site. After 10 minutes on board, you'll be in the town centre and within walking distance of the Neo-Byzantine Basilica of Saint Therese of Lisieux. For local sports events, check out the Louis Bielman stadium 10 minutes' walk away from the site.

What customers say

This is a friendly, quiet campsite with spacious, often shaded pitches, some with water and drainage. Staff are consistently praised for being welcoming and helpful, with some guests benefiting from early evening check-in and even bread delivery. However, multiple guests highlight the dated and unclean state of the sanitary facilities, including washing-up areas, toilets, and showers, with some noting a lack of toilet paper and insufficient hot water for washing up. WiFi is reported as unreliable or unavailable. While convenient for shopping and exploring local sites, some guests found the location adjacent to an industrial estate and near a water treatment plant less appealing.

Barry A. 16 reviews

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked We travelled through France and Spain, staying on 11 sites in two weeks, gaining a sense of what makes a good site which most suited our purposes. Our most important criteria are a clean, quiet, friendly, welcoming site, which makes us feel relaxed, happy and wanting to return. Some sites were chosen as they were on our planned route and others through necessity or convenience.

This site was in a convenient location between our start point and our destination.

The site was OK, but being on the edge of a town, it lacked the relaxed feel of a countryside site.

Staff were pleasant.

The pitch was OK, with good tree cover and shade and electric and water points were close.

Toilets and showers were adequate.

Disliked We didn't have a relaxing stay and didn't really like the site. It was adjacent to an industrial estate.

Local attractions

You’re in a good area for cycling, walking and cider-tasting, with the Normandy Cider Route a short drive away and more Pays d’Auge trails to tempt you into your hiking boots (or bike saddle, if you'd prefer to take in the views on two wheels.) Norman towns and villages are scattered around the surrounding countryside, with half-timbered houses that’ll make you feel like you’ve stepped back in time. Prime spots include Blangy-le-Château (15 minutes’ drive) – a member of Les Plus Beaux Villages de France – and Orbec (half an hour), a top target for foodies (now's the time to daydream of warm Camembert, pistachios and duck confit). Travelling around the local area, you may see all the green fields and think you’re far from the seaside. But that's not quite true, as the boardwalks and wide sandy bays of Deauville, Cabourg and Trouville-sur-Mer are all well within reach at around a half-hour drive away.
