  • Leafy family campsite five minutes’ drive from Louviers in Normandy
  • Biotropica animal park 25 minutes’ drive; Jardin de Monet 45 minutes
  • Swimming pool and play area; restaurant and bread delivery in summer
A handy stopover between Paris and seaside Deauville at roughly an hour’s drive from both, Camping les Escales also makes a wonderfully peaceful base for longer explorations of Normandy. Whatever your holiday plan, this leafy spot on the outskirts of the lively town of Louviers has lots of family-friendly amenities and a thoroughly laid-back vibe that will tempt you to linger on site. Neatly manicured grass pitches are divided by trees and hedges, ensuring everyone has plenty of privacy. If you forget anything for the kids, hire gear like high chairs and folding cribs from reception, and you can keep everyone neat and shiny thanks to the token-operated washing machine and dryer in the laundry room. Kids can scoot around happily at the play area, and you can all get together as a family to play pétanque or have a splash around in the heated outdoor pool. Saturday night is party night in high season, when the on-site catering service also ramps up, with bread and pastry delivered each morning, breakfast served at the snack bar and a steady supply of kids’ favourites like burgers, chips and pizzas available all day. Should you need anything else, there are supermarkets, delis and a pharmacy in the cobbled streets of Louviers (five minutes’ drive).

Liked: Handy stop off … just don’t approach from the town as one way system not great … take longer route along top roads. Homely stay. Little cafe good. Affordable.

Power optional grass campsite

Liked: contesto riservato. Bagni puliti ma un po' datati. Tante docce. I servizi non li ho provati: il ristorante chiude molto presto ed è possibile mangiare solo se si è preventivamente prenotato. Campeggio un po' scarno a livello di svago, ma per una notte è andato bene. Esperienza mediocre

Power optional grass campsite

Liked: Clean Swimming pool Hot/warm water Good WiFi

Disliked: No toilet seats. No toilet paper. No soap in toilet blocks. Restaurant not so friendly. No toilet seat and no paper shouldn’t be allowed at these camp sites, they obviously effect women a lot more than they effect men and I think it’s needs changing. And shouldn’t be something that we have to accept.

Power optional grass campsite

Liked: It was a convenient stop over on the way back towards Calais - there were some lovely places to visit within a 20-30 min drive

Disliked: It felt a little run down, and although it did the job, we would only ever use it as a stop over if we stayed again

Power optional grass campsite

Liked: This site is lovely and peaceful with pitches of various sizes set under the trees. Nice clean showers and toilets and a lovely pool, plus excellent snack/bar serving lovely home cooked food, pizzas and breakfast. It's a well run site, peaceful and located a short drive to Louviers. This was my second visit and I will certainly be back again!

Power optional grass campsite

Liked: Pitch and pool, location is good, although not a lot around. Staff are friendly. Best WiFi of all the sites we've staryed at!

Disliked: Facilities are a little basic, no toilet seats and no toilet paper or soap. Also, restaurant ran out of food very early.

Local attractions

In the (unlikely) event that the kids should tire of the swimming pool, they can have a romp on the go karts, treetop climbing courses and bouncy castles at Tolysland amusement park (half an hour’s drive), or get down with the red pandas and lorikeets in the glasshouse at Biotropica (25 minutes). If you all need to run off some energy, the indoor themed games at Urban’Paintball (20 minutes) should do nicely. For a dip into local culture, check out the half-timbered medieval houses, the ornate flying buttresses of Gothic-era Church of Notre-Dame and crumbing remains of the Cloître des Pénitents in Louviers (five minutes), sitting prettily on multiple channels of the River Eure. Learn more about the town’s textile-making past at the Museum of Louviers, with its displays of old weaving looms side-by-side with Impressionist paintings. Talking of the Impressionists, a 45-minute drive sees you at the spectacular and famed Jardin de Monet in Giverny, where you can spot the waterlily pond and bridge that featured in so many of the artist’s paintings and have a nose around his studio.
