  • Friendly and spacious holiday park in the grounds of a Norman château
  • By the River Seine, 15 minutes' drive from Château Gaillard or Gaillon
  • Direct river access, tennis court, miniature golf, fishing and bar
Sometimes, you've just got to treat yourself and swap daily life for a bit of 'la vie de château'… and that's where this friendly Upper Normandy site comes in. Set in stately home grounds, with a spread of quality facilities and direct access to the scenic River Seine, it's quite simply a top spot to put down roots in while on a break in northern France. As the name implies, Château de Bouafles is in the grounds of a rather handsome manor. There's an appropriately lordly range of amenities here, including a well-equipped laundry room, fresh morning bread deliveries daily (except Wednesdays), a bar, a games room and books to borrow. If your hands need a bit of rejuvenation after making use of the site's washing-up points, simply chat to reception about getting your nails done on site – yet another potential perk of staying here. Don’t worry, the rest of your body and mind are catered for as well – there's fishing in the river, a launch where boats and kayaks can be floated, a miniature golf course, a playground and a full-size tennis court to keep guests occupied. Away from base, you can spend your downtime exploring the local area's other châteaux (including the fine specimen 15 minutes' drive away at Gaillard), sailing up and down the Seine or simply browsing the weekly street markets in Gaillon (15 minutes), Vernon (20 minutes) or Louviers (25 minutes).

What customers say

This is a beautiful, well-maintained campsite with large, private pitches, many offering their own facilities. Guests praise the spotless showers and toilets, friendly staff, and the on-site bar and food options. Its location on the Seine offers lovely walks and cycling routes, with easy access to local attractions. While some mention the distance to facilities or minor issues with lights and WiFi, the overall sentiment is overwhelmingly positive, with many visitors expressing a desire to return.

Charlotte T.

Electric optional grass and gravel pitch

Liked Large spacious and private pitch
Both gravel and grass which is really nice to choose where to put van and tent.
Bar and social area was really nicely presented
Pizza’s were lovely and a good size! Really fresh and very tasty!
Many toilets and individual sink areas
Showers were large and had a small area to put bag/toiletries which is a good addition to a shower cubicle.
Large array of space and facilities such as a park, tennis court, trampoline, working cubes for travelling workers (although didn’t use), fresh bread/croissants and pastries in the morning- very reasonably priced.
Really friendly dogs that were out and around the social area/bar.
We enjoyed our stay here and would recommend to others.

Disliked The sanitary block is too far away from the tent/ campervan pitches.
The lights in the showers go off too quickly (appreciate they are sensor and this is a good option for campsites but they don’t stay on long enough)

From the manager: Merci pour vos compliments

Electric optional grass and gravel pitch

Liked Sauberkeit der Waschräume vorne. Sehr große Stellplätze für Wohnmobile. Man hat eine sehr private Atmosphäre .
Direkter Zugang zum Seine Ufer und der Natur

Disliked Der Lageplan ist unübersichtlich. Wir haben die neuen Duschen leider erst bei der Abreise entdeckt. Da wir die Waschräume im hinteren Bereich des Platzes gesehen hatten, haben wir es bevorzugt im Wohnmobil zu duschen. Auch die Reinigung der Chemischen Toiletten haben wir nicht auf Anhieb gefunden.

From the manager: Thank you very much.
A new plan is in the works.
see you a next time

Beautiful site, good, clean facilities. Staff were helpful. Good base to explore…

Local attractions

Get set for a bit of a climb and a lot of picture-snapping at Château Gaillard (15 minutes’ drive): the grand hilltop castle, the old stomping ground of Richard the Lionheart, has mind-boggling views over the River Seine. Évreux Cathedral (30 minutes) is another site of fancy – its sheer size enough to make your head spin. For a test of strength and bravery, battle the high ropes at Acroforest (40 minutes). Alternatively, head to Golf de Gaillon (15 minutes) for a gentler piece of the action. You’ll feel like you’ve stepped right into one of Monet’s paintings at his preserved home and gardens in Giverny (25 minutes). Once you’ve had your fill of fancy plants, make room for the other face of nature and greet the animals at Biotropica Zoo (35 minutes). If city living is more down your avenue, Rouen (40 minutes) and Paris (an hour and 15) aren’t out of reach. For families with kids, you can admire all the best French cities in miniature form at France Miniature (an hour), a good pick for little feet not fit to take on the real-life cities on foot.
