  • Peaceful campsite 10 minutes’ drive from Domfront in Normandy
  • Mayenne 35 minutes’ drive, and Saint-Hilaire-du-Harcouët 40 minutes
  • Two carp-fishing ponds; shops and restaurants 10 minutes’ drive
With a peaceful setting deep in rural Normandy, La Géraumière is on 15 acres of leafy private land that calls to all keen anglers, thanks to its two lakes well-stocked with carp. But you don’t have to be into fishing to stay here; the lovely medieval town of Domfront (10 minutes’ drive) has shops, ancient buildings and a castle to please sightseers, as well as plenty of bars and restaurants where bon viveurs can enjoy a glass of Normandy cider to accompany tasty local specialities. Back on site, simple facilities tucked among the trees include an outdoor kitchen with a cooker, fridge, and washing-up sinks, plus pristine showers. Go about your day quietly and you might just spot deer or foxes among the trees. Take quiet moments to sit and listen to the birdsong, watch the kingfishers dipping into the lakes for insects, and on clear nights, gaze up at the stars in a sky free from light pollution. And of course, you can always befriend the owners’ livestock too: the roll call to date is ducks, goats and a pony – not forgetting the free-range hens, who might just venture onto your pitch to say ‘hi’.

Poppy camping pod (no private bathroom amenities)

Liked La sympathique propriétaire, les animaux en liberté totale autour des voyageurs.
La nature à l'état pur... Le tonneau très original. Ne pas avoir peur de croiser des petites bêtes minuscules🤪. Bien pour une nuit. Les visites de Wonka (si je ne me trompe pas) et Ratus on a adoré.

Disliked On ne peut pas dire que je n'ai pas aimé, même si original, peut être un peu cher.

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked Shower and loo’s very clean, lots of cooking utensils for campers to use.
nice quite site tucked away in the countryside. plenty of space, large pitches.
The owners are very friendly and helpful and nothing was too much trouble.
Cooked us a great authentic chick curry one evening.
Stayed 4 nights great value for money and definitely will stay here again.
Short drive to Domfront lovely old town and the old old part of the town up the cobbles is definitely worth a look. Also lots of lovely French villages in the area.

Local attractions

Anglers may be happy hanging out at the carp lakes waiting for a bite, but there’s lots of other stuff to do too. You provide the pedal power on the Vélorail at Bagnoles de l’Orne Normandie (15 minutes) as you trundle along a former railway line in Andaine Forest (10 minutes’ drive), or you can bike sections of the long-distance Véloscénie as it wends its way along greenways through Domfront (10 minutes) to the Normandy coast. The kids (most adults too, in fact) will probably adore getting up close to handsome heavy horses at La Michaudière - Ferme du Cheval de Trait (10 minutes). If the kids need to let off steam after touring the castle and museums in Mayenne (35 minutes), a kayaking session on the Varenne river from Torchamp (15 minutes) or hiring a pedalo on the lake at La Ferté-Macé (20 minutes) should do the trick. Have wander around the Wednesday-morning market at Saint-Hilaire-du-Harcouët (40 minutes) and pick up local cider, cheeses and fresh fruit for picnics, or make a day of it by visiting the abbey at Mont Saint-Michel (an hour and 15 minutes) in the Bay of Normandy.
