  • Quiet Normandy site five minutes’ drive from Montmartin-sur-Mer beach
  • Mont Saint-Michel an hour’s drive; D-Day landing beaches 90 minutes
  • Sports facilities, play area and games room; bar and shop
With an unusual setting in a former stone quarry planted with trees and shrubs, Camping Les Gravelets is in the Manche department of coastal Normandy. It sits on peaceful grounds with a handy location five minutes’ drive from the sandy beach at Montmartin-sur-Mer, and 15 minutes’ walk from the local supermarket. Convenient on-site facilities include a mini-market selling the basics, a bar that opens in the evening and a breakfast bread service (the latter only in high season). During the high season, food trucks visit the site, adding some food options. You can keep kids of all ages busy with a play area, pétanque and the tennis court close by. The games room has board games, snooker, table football and a TV to take care of teens wanting to be independent of their parents. Chances are you might be out and about a lot of the time, however, as this region has much to offer. The long-distance GR223 hiking trail circumnavigates the spectacular Normandy coastline, and the D-Day landing beaches and associated museums are all within 90 minutes’ drive. Any sightseeing information you might need can be picked up at reception.

What customers say

Grand spot, clean and friendly, with level pitches. Staff are sound. Toilets are spotless. Great location near town, good for dog walks. Some found it hilly, WiFi could be better, and a few more food options would be grand. Better signs on the road wouldn't go amiss.

Bryony S.

Electric grass and earth pitch

Liked Very friendly staff. Quiet and clean site, easy to walk into town for bar and supermarche (although there is a bar and basic shop on site). Really nice beach close by, wish we had brought bikes to cycle there. We really enjoyed the tennis courts.

Disliked Our pitch was quite small, we didn't use the awning but it would have filled the pitch. But I think we had the last pitch on the site so can't complain too much and they were not all that size. It is quite hilly if you have mobility problems. No toilet seats or paper (didn't bother us, but it might catch people out).

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you very much for your detailed feedback 🙏. We’re delighted you enjoyed the quiet atmosphere, the cleanliness of the site, our small bar/shop, and especially the tennis courts 🎾. It’s true that some pitches are smaller than others — as you mentioned, you had the very last one available during a busy period. Regarding the sanitary facilities, we note your comment, but indeed in France it’s quite common to find them without toilet seats or paper.
We hope to welcome you again — maybe next time with bikes so you can enjoy the nearby beach even more 🚴‍♂️🌊!

Liked Gastfreundliche Betreiber, wind- und wettergeschützt, klein und übersichtlich, saubere Sanitäreinrichtungen

Disliked Die Ausstattung der Sanitäreinrichtungen lässt noch etwas zu wünschen übrig: WC-Sitzen wären schön gewesen

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Merci beaucoup pour votre retour 😊. Nous sommes heureux que vous ayez apprécié l’accueil, le calme du site et la propreté de nos sanitaires. Concernant les sièges de WC, c’est un choix courant dans les campings en France pour des raisons d’hygiène, mais nous prenons bien note de votre remarque👍.

Zeker vriendelijke uitbaters.

Electric grass and earth pitch

Liked Zeer rustige kamping gelegen in een oude steengroeve en daardoor geen last van lawaai van verkeer. Sanitair was in orde en je kon ook buiten in het café iets drinken. Ook de mogelijkheid brood te bestellen dus altijd leuk als dat voorzien is.

Disliked Geen WC brillen op de toiletten en dat zijn we niet gewoon. Sanitair wel netjes en proper. WiFi wel betalend in de camping. In de cantine gratis.

From the manager: Bonjour,

Merci beaucoup pour votre retour positif et pour avoir souligné le calme du camping ainsi que la propreté de nos sanitaires, un point souvent apprécié par nos vacanciers 😊. Nous sommes ravis que vous ayez pu profiter du bar et du service de pain frais.

Concernant les toilettes sans abattants, il est vrai que cela peut surprendre certains visiteurs, mais c’est une pratique courante dans de nombreux campings en France. Pour le WiFi, l’installation nous a demandé un investissement important et il est gratuit au niveau du bar/réception. Sur les emplacements, il reste accessible mais avec une petite participation, ce qui nous permet de maintenir un service de qualité.

Au plaisir de vous accueillir à nouveau pour un prochain séjour reposant !
Cordialement,
L’équipe du camping

Electric grass and earth pitch

Liked We loved the site, very clean, open and family friendly. The managers were really helpful and nice and the site offered lots of extras such as delivery of croissants to your tent in the morning and moule frite night on saturdays. Great location for the beach which we walked to ( it took about half an hour but was very pleasant). Great showers

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you so much for your lovely review 🌸. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the friendly atmosphere of our campsite, the cleanliness, and our little extra services such as fresh croissants in the morning and our Moules-Frites evening 🥐🍴. It’s wonderful that you could also take the pleasant walk to the beach and enjoy the showers. We truly appreciate your kind words and would be very happy to welcome you back for another stay in Normandy ☀️.
Warm regards,

Electric grass and earth pitch

Liked Friendly helpful staff - free WiFi at the reception / bar area. Lovely little campsite set in a quarry. Showers hot and clean. Washing up area / washing machine all clean and tidy.

Disliked Pitch 55 is on a slope and blow up beds on the floor were on a slant. Managed to find one area that was flat ish for one bed but the rest of this particular pitch is not level. Didn’t take away from our stay .

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you so much for your kind words 🌿. We’re delighted you enjoyed the cleanliness of the facilities, the hot showers and the friendly atmosphere of our little campsite in the quarry.

We’re sorry that pitch 55 was not as flat as you’d hoped. The quarry setting gives a lot of charm, but sometimes it also means a few sloping areas ⛰️. We always do our best to help guests find the most suitable pitch, so please don’t hesitate to ask us next time.
We’re very happy that this didn’t take away from your stay and we’d love to welcome you back again!
Élodie & Thomas

Local attractions

Keen hikers can access the GR223 at Montmartin-sur-Mer (five minutes’ drive) for a bracing yomp along the Normandy coastline; alternatively families can flop on the beach at lively Agon-Coutainville (10 minutes), or rent a brightly painted beach hut at Gouville-sur-Mer (15 minutes) from which to launch forays into the sea. If you’re holidaying with kids, take them to explore all the nooks and crannies of Château de Pirou (25 minutes), a medieval fortress with ramparts and spiral staircases leading up towers. They’ll probably also enjoy the submarines and aquariums at La Cité de la Mer (90 minutes) in Cherbourg. The big-hitters in the region are undoubtedly Mont Saint-Michel (an hour), where a medieval cathedral tops an island cut off from the mainland at high tide, and the D-Day landing beaches (all within 90 minutes) on the northern Normandy coastline. Omaha Beach (about an hour) has a hard-hitting museum where you can learn about US naval troops landing on June 6, 1944.
