Friendly owners make you very wellcome. The site is very short walking distance to town, shops, restaurants and harbour. The supermarket can also be reached on foot

Travelling party: Couple

A friendly site, very busy even in mid-September. I disagree with reviewer who said sanitaires by pool are best. Wrong, the other place is much nicer! Well positioned site for cycling in several directions. The town is rather dead out of season (mid-September).

Stayed for 7 days and quite enjoyed this laid back seaside resort. Close to small town with a selection of restaurants and shop

If you want a campsite that offers friendlyness, cleanliness, atmosphere, super location, excellent facilities, this is the place to come. On the outskirts of a lovely Harbour town with lovely bars and restaurants. Beautiful walk to the lighthouse and cycle paths everywhere. A truly wonderful little gem. Close to Cherbourg, thus makes for an ideal start or end to a French holiday.

Travelling party: Couple

Clearly this is a very popular site. The pitches are nicely manicured and a reasonable size, however the site roads are very tight - nit good for caravans. Finally when leaving we were chased out of the site and accused of not paying. Fortunately I had proof, but this is not good. More than anything I hate being falsely accused. Obviously I will never return and would not recommend.

Great campsite. Friendly owners on site; comfortable pitch; all facilities functional and very clean. Easy walk into town, shops and restaurants with plenty of interesting places to visit within the immediate locality. Excellent value for money and already looking forward to our return visit.

Travelling party: Couple

Convenient to Cherbourg and to the peninsula generally. Well kept with attractive flower and plant beds, flat and spacious pitches.
Easy walk into St Vaast, flat for cycling and lots of things to see and do in surrounding area. Great for coastal bird watching. Cannot comment on many site facilities as still early in season but highly recommended and would return.
