  • Leafy family campsite five minutes’ drive from Louviers in Normandy
  • Biotropica animal park 25 minutes’ drive; Jardin de Monet 45 minutes
  • Set in a forest with a play area and restaurant on site
A handy stopover between Paris and seaside Deauville at roughly an hour’s drive from both, Camping les Escales also makes a wonderfully peaceful base for longer explorations of Normandy. Whatever your holiday plan, this leafy spot on the outskirts of the lively town of Louviers has lots of family-friendly amenities and a thoroughly laid-back vibe that will tempt you to linger on site. Neatly manicured grass pitches are divided by trees and hedges, ensuring everyone has plenty of privacy. If you forget anything for the kids, hire gear like high chairs and folding cribs from reception, and you can keep everyone neat and shiny thanks to the token-operated washing machine and dryer in the laundry room. Kids can scoot around happily at the play area, and you can all get together as a family to play pétanque or have a splash around in the heated outdoor pool (open during high season only). Saturday night is party night in high season, when the on-site catering service also ramps up, with bread and pastry delivered each morning, breakfast served at the snack bar and a steady supply of kids’ favourites like burgers, chips and pizzas available all day. Should you need anything else, there are supermarkets, delis and a pharmacy in the cobbled streets of Louviers (five minutes’ drive).

What customers say

This campsite is praised for its quiet, peaceful atmosphere, generous pitches, and friendly, helpful staff. Many visitors use it as a convenient stopover en route through France. The swimming pool and on-site restaurant receive positive mentions. However, a recurring concern is the condition of the sanitary facilities, which are frequently described as dated, not always clean, and lacking basic amenities like toilet paper and soap. Some guests also reported noise issues from other campers.

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked We have stayed at camp sites recommended by Pitchup for several years and have always found the sites to be excellent. The descriptions given on the Pitchup web site are always accurate and give information about the sites facilities, which is just what we need.
Our 1 night stay at Camping Les Escales, was just lovely, with staff being helpful and keen to please at all times. The site is operated by very competent staff who work hard to please and this is reflected in the atmosphere around the camp.
The site has a small outdoor leisure pool, which suited us fine.
The facilities are typical of campsites in France and are really clean and well looked after.
The location suited our holiday plans and was within easy access to the major road routes passing through France and close to the lovely village of Louviers.
As usual, we will be booking with Pitchup next year to reserve sites which are near the planned route of the Tour de France, which is easy to do using the search facility of the website

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked We stayed here on route to Portugal in a campervan and found the site was quiet, well laid out and with a basic but friendly restaurant.
Pitches are spacious and have hedge screening between for added privacy and tree coverage to help stay cool.
Showers were basic but free.

Disliked As we had stayed here on our outwards trip, we booked to stay on our return.
However, due to a crash on a French motorway we were slightly delayed in our arrival time and rang ahead to notify the site owners. They told us that they would not admit us even though we were only 45 mins late due to circumstances beyond our control. We had already paid so lost money.
Very unhelpful and unsympathetic.
Take toilet roll as this is not provided and the toilets were not the best in terms of hygiene.

Local attractions

In the (unlikely) event that the kids should tire of the swimming pool, they can have a romp on the go karts, treetop climbing courses and bouncy castles at Tolysland amusement park (half an hour’s drive), or get down with the red pandas and lorikeets in the glasshouse at Biotropica (25 minutes). If you all need to run off some energy, the indoor themed games at Urban’Paintball (20 minutes) should do nicely. For a dip into local culture, check out the half-timbered medieval houses, the ornate flying buttresses of Gothic-era Church of Notre-Dame and crumbing remains of the Cloître des Pénitents in Louviers (five minutes), sitting prettily on multiple channels of the River Eure. Learn more about the town’s textile-making past at the Museum of Louviers, with its displays of old weaving looms side-by-side with Impressionist paintings. Talking of the Impressionists, a 45-minute drive sees you at the spectacular and famed Jardin de Monet in Giverny, where you can spot the waterlily pond and bridge that featured in so many of the artist’s paintings and have a nose around his studio.
