  • Family-friendly site under two kilometres from the coast
  • Within five kilometres of Omaha beach and 10 kilometres from Bayeux
  • Playground and shop on site; barbecues permitted
Two top Normandy destinations are a breeze to get to from family-friendly Camping L'Hypo'Camp: the World War II memorial of Omaha beach (five kilometres) and the spectacular sight of the Bayeux Tapestry, within 10. Omaha beach, the one five kilometres away, has a watersports centre with sailing activities. When you return back to base, there are more ways to unwind, as the quiet site has a children's play area with a seesaw and swings. Barbecues are allowed on site too for alfresco dinners, and there's the convenience of having a small grocery shop on site if you need to gather ingredients. There are also other amenities including two well-maintained shower and toilet blocks. L'Hypo'Camp is outside the coastal commune of Colleville-sur-Mer, just under 40 kilometres from Calvados department capital Caen.

Powered grass site

Liked: The location, friendly staff and the welcome. The dairy shop, 5 mins walk and limited opening hours, has delicious milk (1 euro), yoghurt and butter. We got to choose our pitch which was sheltered and perfect for a trailer tent. Lovely walks in the area.

Disliked: WiFi was a bit dodgy. Snack bar was closed for the season although you could still get drinks.

Coco Sweet 2 bedroom cabin

Liked: The campsite is well located to visit Omaha Beach. Although there isn’t a shop in the village they do have a few grocery items for sale in reception. we received a warm welcome and they were very accommodating. The accommodation was very clean and basic but everything we needed for a few nights west.

Disliked: Sadly the snack bar was closed because the season had ended the previous week. However, we could get a hot or cold drink at the bar. Not a problem for us, but remember to bring your own toilet paper when you need to go to the bathroom. Not their fault, but their Wi-Fi wasn’t working well. However, we could sit at reception to catch up on work.

Liked: Convenient for coast and cycle tracks. Friendly staff. Clean facilities.

Disliked: Pitch quite small and not easier to manoeuvre into. Ground waterlogged, though that is no fault of the site, merely the weather!

Local attractions

Normandy tourist destinations of Omaha beach and the Bayeux Tapestry see hundreds of thousands of visitors to this region every year. The Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial is at the site's local town of Colleville-sur-Mer, overlooking the beach; at Bayeux, take time to see the town as well as its famous tapestry, stopping off at the 11th-century cathedral, the Memorial Museum of the Battle of Normandy, and, if you're here for World War II remembrance, the British war cemetery just outside town. The fishing, horse riding and canoeing within the same distance should provide plenty of entertainment by the coast, as should the local sands within a kilometre, and the fishing boat views from the harbour of Port-en-Bessin, three kilometres from the site. The World War II memorial and museum of La Pointe du Hoc within 20 minutes' drive of the site. Also, remember to take your chance to have a tour of the Isigny Sainte Mère Coopérative (20 minutes' drive) cheese and butter factory.
