  • Family-friendly site with fishing lakes and a 2.5-acre kids’ play area
  • A five-minute drive to the Cerisy Forest and 25 minutes to Bayeux
  • Covered pool complex, BMX track, zipwire, petting zoo and giant swing
The phrase ‘family-friendly’ takes on a new meaning at Domaine de Litteau, a Normandy countryside site with activities specifically designed to please every member of the clan. Grownups have a couple of fishing lakes, a nearby forest for walks and a covered pool complex with a hot tub to please even the pickiest parent, while the kids can nip between a 2.5-acre outdoor play zone, BMX track, climbing ropes, a giant swing and a zipwire. A small petting farm’s also on site, so the family can fawn over cute critters together – think goats, ducks and a miniature pig – and four-legged friends brought from home are permitted at the park as well. Craving some alone time? Staff at the kids’ club are on hand to supervise the sprogs, but you’ll need to stick around and look after any 1- to 4-year-olds diving into the ball pit in the Bubbles Playroom. Les enfants are kept entertained after dark too, with a kids’ show put on in the evenings (and followed by adult-friendly games and shows a handful of evenings a week). Another boon for grownup guests is the location of the site, a five-minute walk from the village of Litteau and close enough to ferry ports like Caen (around a 50-minute drive away) for easy access from the UK.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: Local attractions- Normandy Landing beaches / history Bayeaux Activities- great zip wires Normandy Luge Festy Park

Disliked: Extremely noisy campsite with campsite entertainment noise until midnight most nights so lack of sleep every night. The noise drifted even to the furthest away pitches Swimming only limited to one hr slot as water issues. Had to travel out every day for activities No privacy as pitches very open and trees/shrubs very low. No fresh milk in the small shop that desperately needs an update. One choice of type of bread/ baguette if pre ordered daily!

Electric grass pitch

Liked: The animals were lovely. The reception staff were helpful and the site staff generally. Nice location. Pitch was a good size and level.

Disliked: The water was turned off and had to have showers etc. at certain times due to drought but this only effected the tent pitches as the mobile homes had water all the time. Also had to book in at certain times for the swimming pool. At times no toilet roll in the toilet block and two showers out of three out of order. One working shower didn’t drain properly so you were standing in dirty water. Men coming into female toilet block….I think this was due to the washing up facilities being in there but still not great (men’s had them too) also there was quite a lot of noise at night by the tent pitches which made it hard to sleep.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: It had a pool and fishing lake

Disliked: All men & boys must wear Lycra tight fitted shorts or briefs in the pool yet the campsite don’t sell them so we couldn’t go in as a family! The site was very noisy especially until midnight on the Friday when they had a live act in the outside bar area! We were far away from the bar area but the noise was deafening and the kids struggled to get to sleep. Reception closed earlier than advertised. On the website, email and on the door it states reception is open until 7pm. We arrived at 6.45 to find it closed up and our name in a “late arrivals box” so we were allocated the space next to the toilets! Even though we could see other available pitches around the site! The paper map we were given in our envelope gave no indication of where to find the bins or waste water facilities All in all it was that bad we didn’t stay for our 2nd night booking

Electric grass pitch

Liked: Large pitch with electric and water located at multiple locations in close proximity to tent. Swimming pools and park lovely - be careful with men's swim shorts; they need to be trunks rather than surfer style. The circus was also really good fun although I'm not sure if that is a weekly thing during the hols. Entertainment and kids clubs available too. Staff super friendly. Toilets and showers clean and tidy.

Disliked: Evening only snack bar was overrun and unable to cope with demand. The first night we waited about half an hour for food - burgers which were tasty when they arrived. The second time, we were told no pizza for at least an hour so ordered burgers again but this time they still took 45 minutes and were cold when we got them. Hit and miss with toilet paper so always carry your own. Entertainment went on late and was very loud which carried across to the tent pitch area.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: The site is set in nice countryside, and the pitches had good access. Access gate easy to use, good access from the main road. The showers had hot water all of the time. The shop had a good range of food available, including bread, and the shop prices were reasonable. Staff were friendly, and its a nice place BUT very noisy at night during our stay ( please see "disliked" comments.)

Disliked: During our stay (which was in high season), the site was very noisy at night .On our first nights stay, the entertainment team used a loud PA system outdoors until midnight, and hosted various singing competitions and similar activities . After the party ended around midnight there were children and youngsters making their way around the site and on the playground, shouting and being noisy for another half an hour. The second night was quieter, with things calming down around 11pm, but the third night started out ok, and we went to bed at 11pm, to be woken by the PA system nearer midnight. Its a nice site but its focus is on the static caravans, and the camping site is quite small. The toilets had no seats, and at peak demand the showers lost all water pressure. The pitches are quite open , and the hedges separating them are not mature so their is little privacy, but this will probably improve as time goes by. Not the place to go if you want to experience quiet French countryside, but great if you have young children and a set of earplugs.

Local attractions

Normandy’s known for its wartime history and WWII buffs have ample attractions to amble along to in the area, from the D-Day landing beaches to the military cemeteries for international soldiers. For an in-depth introduction to what happened in the area during the 1940s, take a guided boat tour around the Arromanches Mulberry harbour and Omaha beach (35 minutes’ drive), or witness the action on screen at Arromanches 360, a museum with a circular theatre combining archive film with modern images of Normandy. Another historic battle is commemorated in Bayeux (25 minutes) at Notre-Dame Cathedral, home to the 68-metre, 11th-century tapestry depicting the Norman conquest of England in 1066. The town’s also worthy of a visit for wanders through the cobbled medieval centre. Kids couldn’t give a hoot about history? Head to the wide and sandy Omaha beach for a session with the bucket and spade; if mum or dad is hankering after a go on the green, the Omaha Beach Golf Club (25 minutes; open late March to late October) is a 27-hole course with dreamy views over the sea.
