  • Peaceful woodland park 15 minutes' walk from Forges-les-Eaux
  • A 45-minute drive from Rouen and Dieppe
  • Playground, pétanque court, bike hire and communal barbecues
Looking for that relaxing rural vibe, but not really willing to give up the convenience of urban amenities? Camping La Minière has both aspects sorted: this peaceful wooded site has plenty of quiet space to chill out, yet is only a 15-minute stroll from the centre of Forges-les-Eaux for easy access to a supermarket, a train station and restaurants. Active types can while away hours on site with games of pétanque or table tennis; those whose hols favour sitting down can borrow books and board games or use the communal barbecues and picnic tables to set out an alfresco feast while les enfants mess about at the playground. If you fancy a bit of local pottering, you can hire bikes to pedal along forest paths or hit the 18-kilometre Avenue Verte that starts from Forges-les-Eaux. Venturing further afield, a half-hour drive will take you to castles, gardens and adventure parks dotted around the countryside, while 45 minutes or so in the car can have you wandering through historic Rouen or paddling on the beaches around Dieppe.

From the manager: très heureux de vous lire ,je vais apporté des rectifications sur les toilettes et douche sale ,a disposition est mis une raclette dans les douches et comme pour les éviers a vaisselle un simple geste suffit a respecter son voisin et future utilisateur des lieu (choses non faite par vous même ,au passage) Effectivement pas de papier ni de savon mais notre camping a que 2 étoile donc un prix mini et moins de service, comme vous dite basic .pour la dernière chose la mixité des sanitaire ,vivons avec notre temps des case notre camping a choisi pour un respect du non binaire d'être ouvert d'esprit donc YEL

10-amp electric grass pitch

Liked: Pitch was lovely, trees for shade and well kept.

Disliked: Owner was very grumpy, especially towards teenage boys. Not set up for older children at all. Playground and table tennis table was old/broken/rusty - not very inviting - very disappointing - the connect 4 game was broken and the football goal was placed so their ball would go next door into hospital grounds - which they were told bluntly they would not get back. Washing up sinks were dirty. Everything was very run down. Would not go back.

From the manager: Soyons honnête ,dans votre réservation vous avez omis de déclarer les 2 tentes supplémentaire et vous ne l'avez pas fait a votre arrivé et je ne suis pas venu vous réclamer le supplément !!! J'ai prévenue vos ado de la difficulté de récupérer leur ballon si celui ci venais a passer chez les voisins et malgré cela ils ont continuer leur jeu violent puis le ballon étant de l'autre coté ils ont décidé de grimper sur le toit de la structure de jeu pour enfant de moins de 12 ans ,vous étiez absente de l'aire de jeu, contrairement aux affichages qui indiquent pour des questions de sécurité que la présence d'un adulte est requis . En ce qui concerne l'état des sanitaires je regrette amèrement l'irrespect des gens qui salisse ou dans un esprit de jeu détruise les équipements comme vos ado a qui j'ai fait des remarques

6-amp electric grass pitch

Liked: Friendly staff who spoke good English. Spacious, level pitches - separated by hedges. We had electric (6amp) directly on pitch. Facilities were clean and plenty of them. There is a pleasant footpath from the site so you can reach the town in under 15 mins (past some goats and chickens). It is an attractive town with history, some beautiful old buildings and public gardens, and is adorned with colourful hanging baskets. We found the local tabac and enjoyed drinks outside (Monday aft/eve in August). At least 2 bakeries were open in the morning for coffee and pastries. An idea stop over in our way to Calais - approx 2hr drive.

Disliked: Nothing

10-amp electric grass pitch

Liked: Nice quiet site, with well kept gardens. Good size, well marked out level pitches divided by hedges. Friendly staff. Close to a village, supermarket and walking and cycling trails. A little basic, but the showers and washing cubicles were functional with plenty of hot water. The dish washing area was good with plenty of hot water.,

Disliked: The toilet block. No toilet seats, no toilet paper. One solitary sink, no soap and no hand drying facilities.

Local attractions

Start your Normandy break with a wander around Forges-les-Eaux itself, poking around in the market and learning about the town’s wartime role at the Resistance Museum. A walk or bike ride on the Avenue Verte is highly recommended to see some of the scenic surrounds, as is a soak in the thermal waters of the local spa upon your return to town. If you like to peruse a château or two, take the half-hour drive to Château de Fleury-la-Forêt (home to a splendid doll museum), or wander through the gardens at Chateau de Vascoeuil to spot the sculptures scattered around the estate. More historic visits can be had in Rouen, 45 minutes’ drive away – take in the Museum of Fine Arts and Ceramic Museum, see the cathedral that inspired Monet or just potter through the restored medieval streets, looking up at the half-timbered houses. Also within half an hour’s drive are the Rêve de Bisons animal park, the gorgeous Le Jardin Plume and the treetop trails at Arbr’en Ciel adventure park.
