  • Friendly and spacious holiday park in the grounds of a Norman château
  • By the River Seine, 15 minutes' drive from Château Gaillard or Gaillon
  • Direct river access, tennis court, miniature golf, fishing and bar
Sometimes, you've just got to treat yourself and swap daily life for a bit of 'la vie de château'… and that's where this friendly Upper Normandy site comes in. Set in stately home grounds, with a spread of quality facilities and direct access to the scenic River Seine, it's quite simply a top spot to put down roots in while on a break in northern France. As the name implies, Château de Bouafles is in the grounds of a rather handsome manor. There's an appropriately lordly range of amenities here, including a well-equipped laundry room, fresh morning bread deliveries daily (except Wednesdays), a bar, a games room and books to borrow. If your hands need a bit of rejuvenation after making use of the site's washing-up points, simply chat to reception about getting your nails done on site – yet another potential perk of staying here. Don’t worry, the rest of your body and mind are catered for as well – there's fishing in the river, a launch where boats and kayaks can be floated, a miniature golf course, a playground and a full-size tennis court to keep guests occupied. Away from base, you can spend your downtime exploring the local area's other châteaux (including the fine specimen 15 minutes' drive away at Gaillard), sailing up and down the Seine or simply browsing the weekly street markets in Gaillon (15 minutes), Vernon (20 minutes) or Louviers (25 minutes).

What customers say

Beautiful, well-kept campsite, private spots, many with own facilities. Spotless showers, friendly staff, good bar/food. Lovely Seine-side walks/cycling, easy access to sights. Some mention facility distance or minor light/WiFi issues, but most want to come back.

Power optional grass and gravel site

Liked Grote plek

Disliked Stroom was eraf tweede dag

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hello,
Like everywhere else, we sometimes experience power outages because some people plug in their cars or use appliances that cause power surges, but generally when you report it to us, the problem is resolved within 15 minutes at most.
We look forward to seeing you again.
Fabienne

A pleasant site but we wouldn't return in a hurry.

Power optional grass and gravel site

Liked The pitches are spacious and the staff are very friendly. The outside bar is open in the evenings and there's a very relaxed atmosphere as the sun goes down. The local area is varied and interesting and is great for exploring each day.

Disliked It really wasn't a very peaceful site. On two mornings we were woken early by a large septic tank emptying truck, which was also very smelly. One morning someone was using a chainsaw from 8am for a couple of hours. There was a lot of lawn mowing going on by more permanent residents.
The other thing that most people would dislike is the motion sensitive lights in the showers. About every ten seconds they turn off and you are left showering in the dark.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: I am sorry for the noise disturbance. We very rarely have problems with septic tanks, so you were unlucky. Mowing large areas is not permitted after 8 o'clock in the morning!
We will try to extend the lighting time in the showers.
Best regards,
Fabienne

Amazing stay! Clean, tons of amenities and good vibes.

Liked Standplaats en sanitair ( zeer proper)

Disliked Verlichting. Mocht meer zijn tot 23u of 24u.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Bouafles is a village with a ‘starry sky’ label, meaning there is little light pollution at night.
As for Wi-Fi, we have already looked into the issue, which is not as simple as it seems. It's not enough to be in 2025.
We have installed several Wi-Fi zones and a teleworking area, but for the park as a whole, it's very complicated. And anyway, a little disconnection doesn't hurt in the end.
best regards

What a find… exactly what we wish for in a site.

Charlotte T.

Power optional grass and gravel site

Liked Large spacious and private pitch
Both gravel and grass which is really nice to choose where to put van and tent.
Bar and social area was really nicely presented
Pizza’s were lovely and a good size! Really fresh and very tasty!
Many toilets and individual sink areas
Showers were large and had a small area to put bag/toiletries which is a good addition to a shower cubicle.
Large array of space and facilities such as a park, tennis court, trampoline, working cubes for travelling workers (although didn’t use), fresh bread/croissants and pastries in the morning- very reasonably priced.
Really friendly dogs that were out and around the social area/bar.
We enjoyed our stay here and would recommend to others.

Disliked The sanitary block is too far away from the tent/ campervan pitches.
The lights in the showers go off too quickly (appreciate they are sensor and this is a good option for campsites but they don’t stay on long enough)

From the manager: Merci pour vos compliments
il est vrai que le camping est grand , mais jamais plus de 5 minutes des sanitaires .Désolée

Local attractions

Get set for a bit of a climb and a lot of picture-snapping at Château Gaillard (15 minutes’ drive): the grand hilltop castle, the old stomping ground of Richard the Lionheart, has mind-boggling views over the River Seine. Évreux Cathedral (30 minutes) is another site of fancy – its sheer size enough to make your head spin. For a test of strength and bravery, battle the high ropes at Acroforest (40 minutes). Alternatively, head to Golf de Gaillon (15 minutes) for a gentler piece of the action. You’ll feel like you’ve stepped right into one of Monet’s paintings at his preserved home and gardens in Giverny (25 minutes). Once you’ve had your fill of fancy plants, make room for the other face of nature and greet the animals at Biotropica Zoo (35 minutes). If city living is more down your avenue, Rouen (40 minutes) and Paris (an hour and 15) aren’t out of reach. For families with kids, you can admire all the best French cities in miniature form at France Miniature (an hour), a good pick for little feet not fit to take on the real-life cities on foot.
