Camping des Bords de l'Aure ***

This is a fabulous camping site with great access to the town centre and the Normandy beaches. We originally booked for three nights but stayed for five. The reception staff were very friendly and helpful, especially when our fridge decided not to work. They supplied us with ice packs until we got it working again. Really love this site.

Slightly sloping, lawned and beautifully maintained site. Motorhomes seem to be allocated hard-standing bays of various lengths with lawn each side. Reception staff live on site, and their lunchtime breaks are respected. The cul de sac leading to the site has space for about four units to queue, with further spaces as well as a U-turning area beyond the entrance.
In our experience the staff was very helpful, bread/croissant daily orders taken, with payment totted up and paid for along with site fee on departure. Space near reception for pizza van, but this did not materialise during our 6-night stay. Frites available from nearby McDonalds.
Good cycling from site, with voie vert loop towards Arromanche particularly interesting and scenic.

Found the site to be clean tidy and a slight amount of road noise but very convenient to follow the river to central Bayeux.

Please note: NO entry to site before 2pm. Visitors turned away prior to this time. Difficult for caravaners who have driven up to barrier. Grumpy reception staff. Reviews above were selected to allow access to comments box. Previous visits to site were fine.

This is a nice, well kept site within a short walk via a riverside path to the city centre. Newish shower/toilet block. Pitches are small (will take an awning or canopy) and in some cases you are only a metre or so from neighbouring vans. 6amp electricity supply. Lots to do in the area with the lovely city 15 minutes walk and the landing beaches and war cemeteries a short drive. Plenty of nearby supermarkets.

Great campsite for visiting Bayeux, which is a pleasant 10-minute stroll along the river. New toilet blocks with paper and loo seats! Nice reception staff. We had hardstanding but were quite near the busy road (where there were good supermarkets). Very easy journey from Cherbourg.

Great campsite for visiting Bayeux, brand new toilet block built early April, good sizes pitches, English spoken at reception, 15 min walk into town, would highly recommend, reception closed between 12:00 and 2pm

Stayed 2 nights early in September. Staff very helpful with maps and directions (even though we speak little French) to get us into the city along river path, also good for exercising dog. Pitch a little small but near reasonable facilities. Good location both for seeing Bayeux and visiting nearby WWII beaches etc.

Arrived here without booking and was sent to a pitch against the main road and the kids play area. The site was almost deserted so returned to ask for a different pitch with several in mind. The older lady receptionist with a rather brusque rude manner kept saying they were reserved. We pursued this and eventually she relented and gave us decent pitch (38) and 2 days later no one has still shown up. When asking about wifi I was told its 1 allocation per person so if you have an I phone and a tablet you can only use1. I tried to order bread only to be told that it wasn't available and something and the local patisserie, but it was all in French. Site itself is quite ok with good walking and cycling links to the town. The toilets and showers leave something to be desired and badly need renovating. When we came to leave I tried to pay in the afternoon and was shown a sign by the same lady saying that you should pay in the morning and despite her being at the desk on her pc she would not take payment from me. She really needs to brush up on her customer skills and I'm really not sure if she is in the correct job as clearly she is unhappy and rather rude. Whoever manages the site could do with sending her on a customer course, and by the way we are generally very easy going
