  • Quiet Normandy site five minutes’ drive from Montmartin-sur-Mer beach
  • Mont Saint-Michel an hour’s drive; D-Day landing beaches 90 minutes
  • Sports facilities, play area and games room; bar and shop
With an unusual setting in a former stone quarry planted with trees and shrubs, Camping Les Gravelets is in the Manche department of coastal Normandy. It sits on peaceful grounds with a handy location five minutes’ drive from the sandy beach at Montmartin-sur-Mer, and 15 minutes’ walk from the local supermarket. Convenient on-site facilities include a mini-market selling the basics, a bar that opens in the evening and a breakfast bread service (the latter only in high season). During the high season, food trucks visit the site, adding some food options. You can keep kids of all ages busy with a play area, pétanque and the tennis court close by. The games room has board games, snooker, table football and a TV to take care of teens wanting to be independent of their parents. Chances are you might be out and about a lot of the time, however, as this region has much to offer. The long-distance GR223 hiking trail circumnavigates the spectacular Normandy coastline, and the D-Day landing beaches and associated museums are all within 90 minutes’ drive. Any sightseeing information you might need can be picked up at reception.

What customers say

This is a very clean, friendly, and special campsite with spacious, level pitches. Staff are helpful and welcoming. Toilet and shower facilities are frequently cleaned and appealing. The location is unique and within walking distance of town, with dog walking paths nearby. Some guests found the site hilly and noted issues with WiFi and a lack of restaurant options. It is also suggested that improved signage on the main road would be beneficial.

Liked Élodie et Thomas sont hyper accueillants et près à apporter leur aide si besoin.
Le camping est calme,propre et bien situé à quelques minutes de la plage et qui n’est pas surpeuplée.
Magasins d’alimentation à proximité (-10km)
Des propositions de restaurations ont lieu plusieurs fois par semaine:rotisserie(saucisses/jambon braisé etc)
Dégustation fruits de mer
Pizza
Possibilité de commande de pain et viennoiseries directement livrés sur l’emplacement .
Les emplacements sont plats et relativement spacieux
A noter pour les propriétaires de chiens qu’ils sont acceptés sur la plage de montmartin mais pas à hauteville qui se trouve juste à côté.
Un 2e séjour s’impose l’année prochaine 😜
Nous leur souhaitons une excellente saison

From the manager: Hello 🙂
Thank you very much for your kind words about our campsite, the bar, breakfast delivery, and the general atmosphere — we are delighted you enjoyed your stay with us!
Regarding the toilet paper, we understand this can be inconvenient. As is common in many French campsites, we don’t provide it directly in the toilets for hygiene reasons, but we will make sure this is explained more clearly upon arrival.
We hope to welcome you back for another relaxing stay in our old quarry setting.

From the manager: Merci beaucoup pour votre retour positif ! Nous sommes ravis que vous ayez apprécié le calme du camping et l’accueil de notre équipe. Concernant la mer, elle se situe à seulement 23,5 km, soit environ 25 minutes en voiture. C’est vrai que pour les amateurs de balades, prévoir des vélos peut être un vrai plus pour explorer les alentours à votre rythme. Au plaisir de vous accueillir à nouveau, et surtout, restez comme vous êtes vous aussi 😊

Liked Spacious pitches, clean showers

Disliked Very hilly site so could be difficult for less mobile people and can be tricky to navigate around

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your feedback.
We’re glad you enjoyed the spacious pitches and clean showers.
Regarding the terrain, our campsite is located in an old quarry, which gives it a unique natural setting but also explains the variations in levels. Most pitches themselves are flat, but indeed, moving between some areas can involve slight slopes. We’ll make sure to highlight this more clearly in our information so that guests can better anticipate it.

We hope to see you again.

Local attractions

Keen hikers can access the GR223 at Montmartin-sur-Mer (five minutes’ drive) for a bracing yomp along the Normandy coastline; alternatively families can flop on the beach at lively Agon-Coutainville (10 minutes), or rent a brightly painted beach hut at Gouville-sur-Mer (15 minutes) from which to launch forays into the sea. If you’re holidaying with kids, take them to explore all the nooks and crannies of Château de Pirou (25 minutes), a medieval fortress with ramparts and spiral staircases leading up towers. They’ll probably also enjoy the submarines and aquariums at La Cité de la Mer (90 minutes) in Cherbourg. The big-hitters in the region are undoubtedly Mont Saint-Michel (an hour), where a medieval cathedral tops an island cut off from the mainland at high tide, and the D-Day landing beaches (all within 90 minutes) on the northern Normandy coastline. Omaha Beach (about an hour) has a hard-hitting museum where you can learn about US naval troops landing on June 6, 1944.
