Pool

  • Peaceful woodland park 15 minutes' walk from Forges-les-Eaux
  • A 45-minute drive from Rouen and Dieppe
  • Playground, pétanque court, bike hire and high-season outdoor pool
Looking for that relaxing rural vibe, but not really willing to give up the convenience of urban amenities? Camping La Minière has both aspects sorted: this peaceful wooded site has plenty of quiet space to chill out, yet is only a 15-minute stroll from the centre of Forges-les-Eaux for easy access to a supermarket, a train station and restaurants. Active types can while away hours on site with games of pétanque or table tennis; those whose getaways favour sitting down can borrow books and board games or use the communal barbecues and picnic tables to set out an alfresco feast while les enfants mess about at the playground. When you find yourself with extra downtime, make your way to the swimming pool (open from mid-June to mid-September) too. If you fancy a bit of local pottering, you can hire bikes to pedal along forest paths or hit the 18-kilometre Avenue Verte that starts from Forges-les-Eaux. Venturing further afield, a half-hour drive will take you to castles, gardens and adventure parks dotted around the countryside, while 45 minutes or so in the car can have you wandering through historic Rouen or paddling on the beaches around Dieppe.

Non-electric grass tent pitch (backpacker)

Liked This is a lovely, well maintained little campsite, the best I stayed at while I was in France for a week.
It's only a ten minute walk or so to the town and it's a perfect stop if you're cycling the Avenue Verte.
The hosts are nice too and make you feel welcome.

From the manager: Merci pour votre visite dans notre camping , dans de nombreux commentaire vous auriez pu voir que chez nous le papier toilette n'est pas fournie pour des raisons d'hygiène et de gaspillage , des distributeurs a savons ont été mis a disposition mais de nombreuse personne sont parti avec , dans 12 jour nous fermons et nous n'en avons plus et pour l'eau chaude c'est une première !!!!! nous avons plutôt des remarque sur la température idéal . Et pour la vaisselle un point d'eau est identifié par une pancarte ( Eau chaude ) donc avec une température plus élevé que sur les bac a vaisselle

6-amp electric grass pitch

Liked Nice size pitches clean and tidy.

Disliked No toilet roll or soap in toilets.limited lightning in showers on a timer so at times no light at all which isn't manageable. No sockets to use hairdryer in wash rooms, only shaver adaptors. Being made to reverse out of campsite driveway on to a main road (pulling a caravan) while owner checked our details., quite frustrating after a 5 hr drive.

Local attractions

Start your Normandy break with a wander around Forges-les-Eaux itself, poking around in the market and learning about the town’s wartime role at the Resistance Museum. A walk or bike ride on the Avenue Verte is highly recommended to see some of the scenic surrounds, as is a soak in the thermal waters of the local spa upon your return to town. If you like to peruse a château or two, take the half-hour drive to Château de Fleury-la-Forêt (home to a splendid doll museum), or wander through the gardens at Chateau de Vascoeuil to spot the sculptures scattered around the estate. More historic visits can be had in Rouen, 45 minutes’ drive away – take in the Museum of Fine Arts and Ceramic Museum, see the cathedral that inspired Monet or just potter through the restored medieval streets, looking up at the half-timbered houses. Also within half an hour’s drive are the Rêve de Bisons animal park, the gorgeous Le Jardin Plume and the treetop trails at Arbr’en Ciel adventure park.
