  • 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.

Electric grass and gravel pitch (private bathroom amenities)

Liked The view from the pitch was lovely as were the staff helping us with everything we needed. Amazing wine and food available on site. Loved the sauna and spa which were available at a very reasonable rate well worth it. Good proximity to lots of tourists attractions nearby we were not short of things to do there are beautiful cities, châteaux, galleries and restaurants in all directions. Great walking and cycling routes all around. Decent facilities to wash etc. Lots of games and sports to do on site you are sure to have a good time here. Thank you for having us

Electric grass and gravel pitch (private bathroom amenities)

Liked Comfort pitch with own facilities. Great sized pitch with full bathroom. Great shower and very clean. Nice peaceful site in a lovely area. The chateau looked very nice. Great things to do on site but we didn't get chance to use them.

Disliked Pitch quite far from the entrance and main area of the site.

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.
