  • Family-friendly Normandy farm site near Le Ménil-Ciboult
  • An hour's drive to the coast and Mont Saint-Michel
  • Breakfasts available on site; meet the farm animals during your stay
It’s all about finding a bit of rural relaxation at La Billardière – Audrey and Yann have set up their Lower Normandy site to welcome guests to a peaceful spot with just enough facilities to make things comfortable (without distracting from the calm of the countryside). Come along to this small farm site just outside Le Ménil-Ciboult and you’ll be sharing the space with the residents that call this place home all year round – including goats, sheep, chickens, donkeys, dogs and cats. They’re a friendly bunch, and cute too – if you’re here at the right time you may be able to join in with bottle-feeding lambs. As this is primarily a home for the animals, the site owners have chosen to keep visitor facilities to a minimum, but you’ll have access to compost toilets, a barbecue area and a dog exercise area where your four-legged friends can have a bit of a run around. The nearest supermarket for your barbecue/picnic supplies is five minutes’ drive away in Tinchebray-Bocage, but you can make life even simpler by including breakfast with your booking (delivered fresh to you each morning). There’s also coffee available on site in the mornings to give you a good kickstart. How might you fill your days around here when not fussing over the animals? Well, perhaps a waterfall walk, a château visit or one of the family-friendly adventure activities available nearby? And for those of you who’ve never been before, an outing to Mont Saint-Michel (about an hour’s drive away) should certainly be on the cards…

Power optional grass tent campsite

Liked Beautiful location, friendly hosts

Disliked Rosters made it hard to sleep, no toilet paper provided (had to purchase), paid shower was often cold.

From the manager: Bonjour je viens de prendre note de votre commentaire.En effet nous sommes à la campagne
(Ferme avec des ânes) et lorsqu'on choisit un camping à la ferme il peut y avoir des réveils nocturnes des animaux! Le papier toilette est très souvent absent dans tous les campings et concernant les douches vous auriez dû nous le signaler au moment venu, peu être qu'un souci technique est arrivé et nous vous aurions bien sûr dédommager.
Bonne journée Audrey

Worth a trip !

Liked A wonderful, relaxed site with fantastic hosts. The animals were a welcome addition but not intrusive in any way. Basic amenities but sufficient.
Peaceful with wonderful scenery and a lovely breakfast brought to the door of my tent.
I had to cut my visit short, but I will definitely be returning in the Summer.

Power optional cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite

Liked Very welcoming owners even though it was late in December and 7.30pm when I arrived at night. In the morning I awoke to a beautiful house where donkeys and a pony and three sheep wandered happily around with the chickens. I had a very pleasant stay for two nights and I would go back again. Very nice place .

Great for a young family.

Local attractions

Decided to see a bit more of your rural surroundings? You can do so at a leisurely pace with a stroll around the waterfalls in Mortain (20 minutes’ drive), or at rather higher speed with an adventurous downhill ride at Normandie Luge (half an hour). If that’s got your taste for adrenaline going, there are more exciting antics to get stuck into (ziplines, treetop courses and bungee jumping) at AJ Hackett Normandie adventure park (35 minutes). Back down at ground level, slow the pace with a trip to the Musée régional de la poterie (10 minutes) or a wander around the ruins of Château de Domfront (25 minutes). If such things aren't a hit with the kids, try The Enchanted Village amusement park (20 minutes) instead, or head over to Zoo de Champrépus (45 minutes). The big draw around these parts, however, has to be Mont Saint-Michel (an hour) – the towering abbey on an offshore island is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of France’s most-visited attractions. In summer it stays open until midnight and makes a fine sunset trip.
