La Gentilhommière, Camping les Pommiers

Small, quiet campsite nestled among an apple orchard. Approx. 10 pitches for caravans or motorhomes. The old owner welcomes you; he speaks only French and loves talking about his Calvados. The toilets and showers are located in the large shed, simple but clean. Only a few pitches were occupied, so there is plenty of room if you just show up, like we did. The location close to the beach and various WWII memorials makes this spot ideal for the coastal route.

Received a very warm and personal welcome. In the cellar, you can taste delicious Calvados, wines, etc. 4 km from the beach. A great base! Jan and Catharine

Friendly, elderly couple who managed the campsite, gave us a lovely spot. It's best to call to make a reservation; you do need to speak French. The owner, Andre, has a cava you can sample and buy. The toilets and showers are basic and outdated, but clean. It's a wonderfully quiet campsite within cycling distance of Juno Beach (6km), several memorial cemeteries, and Arromanche Beach (17km).
