  • Friendly English-owned site close to the D-Day landing beaches
  • Within 15 minutes' drive of Carentan and 45 of Bayeux and Cherbourg
  • Rural setting in the Cotentin and Bessin Marshes Regional Nature Park
English owned and within easy reach of D-Day landing beaches: come to Camping Le Clos Castel for a quick break from Blighty, or base yourself here for a full French hol. Brit owners Carol and Clint know what's what: as keen campers themselves, they've set the site up to include spotless amenities and plenty of space, and make it their mission to provide a warm and friendly atmosphere where everyone is made welcome. Have a chat to them around the site to find out top tips on what to see and do nearby, from investigating local markets and hikes to day trips to the D-day beaches and the likes of Bayeux and Caen. Le Clos Castel is a short stroll (about 500 metres) from its local village Raids, in Lower Normandy's Manche department half an hour's drive from Utah beach and 35 minutes' drive from Omaha. It has a countryside setting in the Cotentin and Bessin Marshes Regional Nature Park: once you've thoroughly investigated Normandy beaches on day trips, set off into the park for days of hiking, nature spotting and boat rides. The site has wifi, showers, toilets and a washing-up area available for guests' use.

What customers say

This peaceful, well-kept site boasts friendly hosts. Guests rave about spotless, spacious showers. Great for Normandy history/beaches, with a handy pastry order service. Some noted road noise; a few wanted separate toilets. Highly recommended for a relaxing getaway.

Powered grass and gravel campsite

Liked Keurig onderhouden terrein, mooie vlakke stelplaatsen.
Plek voor 6 campers/caravan en nog een paar tenten.
Sanitair netjes en schoon.
Plek om te zitten en te ontspannen, incl de voorzieningen hiervoor.

Disliked 2 sanitair ruimtes, beide met wc en douche in 1 ruimte. Hierdoor kleine beperking als het drukker is.

Powered grass and gravel campsite

Liked The friendliness and clear love of what they do from the owners is evident from the minute you set foot on site.
The site is well signposted and access was easy - we have a large caravan and did find access to some sites is difficult - but not this one
The facilities are spotless and the hosts are available to recommend activities, places to eat etc

 Lucien B. 1 review

Powered grass and gravel campsite

Liked Le calme du camping et sa taille humaine.

Disliked Les toilettes dans la douche qui limitent leurs accès (deux douches) et la pression de l'eau insuffisante pour les WC et la douche.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Merci pour votre visite et d'avoir pris le temps de laisser un avis sur notre site, chaque avis compte pour nous !
Nous savons que les toilettes seraient mieux si les douches et les WC étaient séparés, mais cela fait partie d'un plan à plus long terme.
Comme nous traversons l'été le plus chaud et le plus sec depuis le début des relevés, notre commune a demandé à tout le monde d'être très prudent avec l'utilisation de l'eau et a réduit la pression disponible, je suis désolé que votre douche n'ait pas été aussi puissante que vous l'auriez souhaité.

Local attractions

Ask Carol and Clint for info on their best picks on activities and attractions nearby: the outdoor adventures of the Cotentin and Bessin Marshes Regional Nature Park are close to hand and it's about 15 minutes' drive from the site to the beaches overlooking Jersey. Also within 15 minutes' drive is Carentan, surrounded by wetlands and wildlife-laden marshes, but probably most famed as the scene of the Battle of Carentan in World War II (the town is between Utah and Omaha beaches). The area surrounding Carentan has several remembrance museums including the Musée Airborne at Saint-Mère-Église (25 minutes' drive) and the Normandy Tanks Museum in Catz, 20 minutes from the site. For day trips, Bayeux and Cherbourg are each 45 minutes' drive away, and Caen is an hour and five minutes; further afield, Mont Saint-Michel is within an hour and a half.
