The camping two stars _la Ferme du Bord de Mer_ has 55 camping spots of approximately 100 m2, associated to a natural area of 30 spots. The location is in perfect harmony with its sea and countryside environment, due to grass covered spots and thick bushes. The trees separating the camping spots offer a pleasant shade in the hottest summer days.

We were out of season, but even so the camp was very sparse. Basically a bit of grass. No amenities at all. Looked really run down. Lovely situation, on the beach. Area made up for campsite failings.
No amenities at all. Nothin there but the grass pitch.

Nice location
Reception opened much later than stated.. It felt like the management couldn't be bothered at the end of the season. Only one sanitary block of three open with hot water. No lights in WCs.

Nice location overlooking the sea
No water tap

Dear Mr Power, I am sorry that our campsite did not live up to your expectations. When you arrived, we were having a family meal to end the busy summer season. We could not be present at the reception before 7pm and you arrived well before that. We let you choose your pitch and settle in. You chose a seafront spot with a wonderful view. Unfortunately, you had booked a pitch with a water + electricity connection. Our seafront pitches have electricity, but no water connection. We offered you to change your location, but you preferred to stay with the view, which I can fully understand. I am sorry that this misunderstanding has affected your stay. Nevertheless I am pleased to read that you enjoyed our location and the breathtaking view of the Havre de Crabec. We look forward to seeing you again. Pierre-Emanuel Camping** la Ferme du Bord de Mer

Quiet site, with all facilities you need. Access to beach and local walks is good. Children enjoyed animals/pets on site.
Currently no hot water at Central (new) amenities. Clearly in middle of completing upgrades, but a bit inconvenient nonetheless. Bring your own loo roll - not seen this on a site for ages, didn't see any prior warning that this was the case, so bit inconvenient.
Accommodation review
The ground wasn't stony, and it was quite level.
Too small. We had no neighbors during our stay so could overspill. If we did, it would have been virtually impossible to pitch without entering their pitch. it stated 100sqm at booking, but I don't think this was more than 9x9m when trees and bush growth taken into account. The site caters mostly to 1-2 night motorhomes, but could do with some XL pitches being set up to cater for larger family units or longer stays.

Hello Thomas, Thank you for choosing us for your family holiday. I am delighted that you enjoyed the charm of La Ferme du bord de mer, its calm and its direct access to the beach. The contact with the animals, which you can come and feed, is always a real plus for the children! Concerning your remarks on the sanitary facilities, at this season we have only one sanitary block which is currently only working with cold water. For your information, hot water is not required in our classification. You have chosen a 2 star campsite, so it cannot have all the services. Your comments on the pitches have been well heard, thank you for letting me know. We look forward to seeing you again if your path takes you back to Normandy.

terrific staff, really welcoming and helpful. Polite, bright, multi lingual but patient with your efforts in French. The young woman has been especially helpful but also the others. She helped me especially when I had an issue it was resolved immediately. Great site, great views, lovely walks, sunrises, sunsets. Great coves for swimming, great facilities. Great wifi.Always clean. Food and drinks available. games room, lots of kids fun, animals and bouncy toys for little ones. We keep coming back here, but so do others, we see the same faces.Handy to travel around also. Best campsite we know.

Hello Lawrence, I'm happy to read that you enjoyed the location of our campsite, as well as the friendliness of our reception. We are a small, family-run ** star campsite in an old farmhouse. Our philosophy is to offer a quiet and friendly atmosphere. Regarding your comments on the facilities, we currently have 3 sanitary blocks in use. I am surprised that you did not find this sufficient. Each block has about 4 toilets, including one for the disabled. I hope you will give us another chance to satisfy you fully during a future stay in Normandy. Pierre-Emanuel Campsite** la Ferme du Bord de Mer

The campsite is very well situated, with a beach right beside it and Barfleur close by. It is well maintained and has a small, well stocked shop attached to reception. The Coco Sweet we stayed in was very clean and had everything we needed. Staff were always busy working or maintaining the campsite.
The staff were pleasant and friendly except for the boss who seemed cross with us every time we met. He did not smile once. I appreciate that it's a busy time of year and he has a lot to do but a smile goes a long way. On leaving I said to him we'd have the accommodation cleaned and we'd be ready to leave by 11. He arrived soon after 10 and was was annoyed that it wasn't clean (we were in the process of cleaning it). His manner was gruff and unpleasant. He lifted beds up, pulled them away from walls and was most annoyed at some ice in the freezer. It's a pity as his staff were very nice.

It was a nice little unit, perfect for 4 and the beds were comfortable. It had everything we needed.

We loved the location of the camping. It lays very directly at the sea, en with a one minute walk you could see the Canal, which was very satisfying. The town of Barfleur which lays close to it is also amazing, and we loved visiting it.
The showers and toilets were not our cup of tea. They were dirty, the water pressure in the showers was very low and a lot of the other showers were nog available for us guests, which was dissapointing. The toilets did not have a seat.

The place was nice and big. We stayed here with a tent, and the electricity was awesome.

Séjour très agréable, emplacement impeccable, aucun vis à vis, et vue dégagée sur le phare de Gatteville, chalet très confortable et l'accueil est toujours aussi sympa. Et c'est tellement agréable un camping qui reste très naturel, qui ne cherche pas à rivaliser avec un Disney Land...??
Rien sinon on ne serait pas revenu...
