Camping Le Chant des Oiseaux

Due to a traffic jam along the way, we arrive at 5:07 PM. After pulling into the parking lot, a staff member puts up a 5:00 PM closed sign. We're 7 minutes late and absolutely not allowed onto the campsite. It didn't feel very welcoming. Twenty minutes further on, we found a beautiful spot with a somewhat friendlier welcome.

Beautiful campsite with sea views from almost everywhere. A friendly welcome from 3 p.m. Pitches are assigned and sometimes left vacant to allow the ground to recover; the weight of the camper can cause (considerable) tracks. Nice and clean sanitary facilities, though it's a bit of a walk. Walking and cycling to the charming town of Trouville is easily doable. However, there's no bakery or café at the campsite after August 31st. Deauville has a beautiful old boulevard with bathing cabins dating from 1924.

Great spot with a sea view. A steep climb to the beach, where we had a wonderful swim. Friendly welcome and delicious sandwiches.
