The heated swimming pool is a highlight, with beautiful views of the castle, and the children's entertainment program is engaging, with animators making kids feel welcome. The on-site restaurant serves good food beyond typical campsite fare, though some guests experienced long waits for tables. The camp shop stocks essentials and fresh bread daily, eliminating the need to visit a local bakery. Staff are repeatedly described as friendly, helpful, and welcoming, even assisting with language translation during a vehicle breakdown. Cleanliness of sanitary blocks receives mixed feedback, with some finding them modern and clean, while others report issues, particularly in older facilities. Some guests note noise from a nearby highway and WiFi can be unreliable. The campsite is praised for its quiet ambiance, with no noise after 11 PM and a designated area for younger guests to socialize without disturbing others. Location is a strong point, with easy access to nearby attractions and the charming town of Bayeux, though a car is necessary for exploring the surrounding area. Overall, guests value the serene environment, spacious pitches, and the charming castle backdrop. The grounds are park-like and well-maintained, creating a relaxing atmosphere ideal for a quiet getaway or as a base for exploring Normandy's D-Day beaches, Bayeux, and Mont Saint-Michel. Pitches are generally large and well-spaced, many shaded by apple trees or old trees and separated by hedges for privacy. The swimming pool is a highlight with lovely views of the château and ample lounging areas, though some find it small or cold for the number of guests. The on-site restaurant receives mixed reviews: the food is generally good and reasonable, but service can be slow due to understaffing, with occasional unexpected closures or limited menus. The small shop stocks daily bread and pastries, though many guests wish it opened earlier than 9am. Sanitary facilities vary: the main newer block is modern and clean, but older blocks are often dated, poorly lit, or require more frequent cleaning, with inconsistent water temperature in showers. Staff are generally friendly and helpful, though reception can sometimes feel unfriendly, and language barriers are occasionally noted. Wi-Fi performance is frequently criticized as poor or unreliable, especially on pitches. The atmosphere is quiet and family-friendly, with activities like cycling and tennis available.

Concerns include insufficient water points, tight hook-up distribution, and occasional maintenance issues like overgrown grass. Some guests question value for money due to dated facilities. The campsite receives overwhelmingly positive feedback for its stunning location, spacious pitches, and charming atmosphere. Guests consistently praise the friendly and helpful staff, the excellent on-site restaurant, and the well-stocked shop. The swimming pool is a highlight, especially with views of the chateau, and there are activities for children including a playground and large playing field. The site is ideally situated for exploring the D-Day landing beaches, Bayeux, Caen, and the Calvados region. Many visitors appreciate the peaceful and relaxing ambiance, with plenty of green space and trees providing shade. However, there are recurring criticisms regarding the sanitary facilities. Some toilet and shower blocks are described as outdated, poorly maintained, and not sufficiently clean, while newer blocks are well-regarded. Water temperature issues are common: showers often lack consistent hot water or are too hot, and washing-up water is frequently cold. The shop opening at 9am is considered late by some, and bread quality receives mixed reviews. Pitch sizes are generally generous, but some spots are cramped, especially near trees or along the access road. A few visitors mention problems with pitch allocation, arriving to find their assigned spot occupied or unsuitable. Despite these issues, the majority of guests would return and recommend the campsite for its exceptional setting and overall charm. The campsite is ideally located within cycling distance of the D-Day landing beaches, the coast, supermarkets, and charming towns. The grounds are well-maintained with trees, shrubs, and flowers, and there is a good bread service and a small shop in the morning. Staff are described as friendly. However, the sanitary buildings have been reported as worn-down and poorly cleaned, making facilities dirty. The pool is not heated, limiting its use. Prices are considered too high for the quality offered, and WiFi is poor on pitches. On the positive side, the site is quiet and spacious. The campsite is located on a long driveway leading to a castle, resulting in constant car traffic. There are two sanitary buildings: one near the driveway is old and not very clean, while the other near the hotel is modern but also lacked cleanliness during use. The shower water pressure was weak. The on-site grocery store opens at 9:00 AM and quickly forms a long queue. The price is considered high compared to other campsites, and the value for money is poor; however, the proximity to Bayeux is a plus, though bus connections are limited. Another review highlights the pool as uncrowded and enjoyable, with equipment available for borrowing from reception. The castle setting is described as unique and beautiful, evoking smiles from new guests. The site is calm and quiet, though sanitary facilities could be improved. In spring, the campsite is green and park-like, with old trees and a scenic driveway. Sanitary facilities are well-maintained. The friendly staff makes guests feel at home. The surrounding Calvados region and small villages are ideal for cycling. Around June 6, commemorations of the D-Day landings are visible.
