  • Dog-friendly site an easy riverside walk away from Bayeux town centre
  • A 10-minute drive from the Normandy coast and D-Day beaches
  • Pétanque, table tennis and playground on site; pool five minutes’ walk
Weave a scenic and historic Normandy holiday with a stay at Camping Municipal des Bords de l'Aure, set an easy riverside walk away from the town centre of Bayeux and its world-famed tapestry telling the story of the Battle of Hastings and the Norman invasion of England. More recent history can be learnt about around the Normandy D-Day beaches, around 10 minutes' drive away from base. Otherwise opt to try the many outdoor activities in the region, like the 36-hole golf course at Omaha beach 25 minutes' drive away, or the horse riding and watersports centres within 10 kilometres. The Parc Festyland theme park is also only 25 minutes' drive away for a day on the rides. The site has bikes to hire to take to the town or the coast. Also around for guests are a playground, table tennis and a pétanque court. There may be no pool on site, but there's a splendid indoor pool at the Centre aquatique Auréo, which is just five minutes' walk away from the site and free for guests to use. Those activities are sure to give you a healthy appetite, so it's handy that the site has a bread and pastries service.

What customers say

Top spot, short walk to Bayeux via riverside path. Clean loos, roomy sites, friendly staff. Can get busy but still feels spacious. Bonus pool access and food vans. Great base for Normandy.

Liked Great location. Only 10mins walk into Bayeux. Daily bread order. Access to neighbouring pool facility. Good base to visit D-Day memorials. Toilet block clean.

Disliked Pitch is allocated. Unfortunately our pitch was very shaded due to trees and hedge. Would have preferred a pitch with more sunshine. Electricity is low amps so caused some difficulties on pitching up - had to change settings on water heater.
WiFi poor - intermittent

Liked What a fantastic site!! From the moment we arrived, we were met by friendly and helpful staff. The pitch was a very good size to accommodate our very large tent, with the whole site being spotlessly clean, tidy and well kept. The visiting food vans is such a great touch. We had pizza from Wayne's pizza van, and cannot recommend him enough, even introduced us to Leffe beer, marvellous! Our four nights there were amazing, no drama with noisy guests, which is always a concern when camping.

Disliked Having to leave to come home. Already figuring out when we can come back again.

Liked Everything. It is a beautiful site. Very well kept & great facilities. Have stayed on this site several times.

Disliked Do not like the disabled toilet. It is too low & only one bar to hold on to. The toilet seat was loose. WiFi spotty due to amount of people using it

Local attractions

Take the peaceful stroll or quick bike ride from the site into the centre of Bayeux a kilometre away, home of course to the mammoth Bayeux Tapestry, the 68 metres of 11th-century tapestry depicting the Normandy invasion of England and the subsequent Battle of Hastings. Also in town are the 11th-century Bayeux Cathedral, a British war cemetery, the Memorial Museum of the Battle of Normandy and the MAHB art museum, with paintings, sculptures, drawings, photographs, porcelain and Bayeux lace from throughout the centuries. Another D-Day museum is at Arromanches-les-Bains (10 minutes' drive) and the Normandy landing beaches of Omaha (25 minutes), Juno (25 minutes) and Utah (45 minutes) are all within striking distance. The Caen Memorial, commemorating World War II and the Battle for Caen, is 25 minutes' drive away. Outdoor activities are easily sorted with local horse riding, a couple of kilometres from the site, or with watersports including paddleboarding, sailing and sea kayaking at the nearby Normandy beaches, 10 minutes' drive away. You could also spend a day at the Les etangs de planquery (25 minutes), or take the kids to the Parc Festyland (25 minutes), themed around the events of 1066 and all that.
