  • Friendly farm site set among mature oaks across six hectares of land
  • Under 20 minutes' drive from Saint-Lô and the harbour town of Carentan
  • Pool, nature rambles, tractor rides and farm animals to meet
Host Adrian knows what's what around Lower Normandy and the Manche department. So he's the one to hail for tips when you're at the friendly farm site of La Rougerie, whether you're here for the Normandy landing beaches, to mooch around the surrounding Marais du Cotentin et du Bessin Natural Regional Park, or to pootle around local towns like Saint-Lô and Carentan. Or, indeed, just to farm you and the kids out for a day around site. La Rougerie covers six handsome hectares of trees, working farmland and wide open space, where you can set off on nature rambles, hitch a tractor ride, meet the farm animals or gather your own eggs from the farm's free-range chickens. You'll likely also like sitting (or snoozing) for a spell under the shade of the farm's mature oak trees: see if you can spot the one that's estimated to be a whopping 270 years old. Whatever type of hol you're up for off site, Adrian can sort out a personalised service for your stay, and be on hand for tours of the surrounding World War II sites or trips to famed Normandy landmarks and tourist attractions. Or you could set out on day trips to Bayeux and Caen, the Cotentin peninsula, the local marshlands, the many regional markets to track down gastronomy highlights like Normandy cheese... La Rougerie is a family-friendly and group-friendly site, a few minutes' drive from its nearest commune of Saint-Fromond. It has a heated pool, a toilet and shower block, a washing-up area, free wifi and an internet point.

Local attractions

The farm is in the Marais du Cotentin et du Bessin Natural Regional Park, a birdwatching and boating haven of wetlands and wildlife. Its Park House in Saint-Côme-du-Mont, 15 minutes' drive from the farm, has info on the habitats and species of the marshes and dunes, as well as exhibitions, a birdwatching observatory and boat trip bookings for cruises on the Douve and Taute rivers. Around the same distance to the north is Carentan, on the edge of the French Cotentin peninsula. There's a walking and cycling path from the town harbour to the seaside, 10 kilometres away, as well as nature trails and cycling path around the town. Arrange boat trips around the marshes from here too, or head out on a sea fishing trip after picking up a permit from the town tourist office. For World War II heritage, the beaches of Utah and Omaha are 20 and 30 minutes away.

Electric optional hardstanding and grass tent, touring caravan or trailer tent pitch

Liked: The place was quiet with plenty of space in a lovely countryside setting.

Disliked: The facilities were rather poor. It only had one toilet for both sexes, and this incorporated the only shower and wash basin. For example, this meant having to wait to use the toilet until someone else finished their shower. Luckily there only a handful of other campers otherwise this could have been very awkward. Also there was no outside tap that we found.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: I'm sorry you didn't bother to ask but there are two outside taps, one very close to where you camped. The very hard water in the area has meant closing the other blocks as the water heaters are already furrred up as I explained on arrival The French authorities are supposed to be fixing it but when is a different matter. I try to leave guests alone unless they indicate they want to chat or ask questions. Not all campsites have a heated swimming pool so the price reflects this facility.

Quiet, rural retreat

Liked: This site was super quiet and rural, but not too far off the main road. The owner was very relaxed about arrival and leaving times. There is a very friendly cat to welcome you as well.

Electric optional hardstanding and grass tent, touring caravan or trailer tent pitch

Liked: De eigenaar was heel vriendelijk (is een gids) hij wist ons veel te vertellen over de oorlog en wat wel en niet klopt etcetera. Ook erg behulpzaam als je iets miste of nodig had. De badkamer was ruim en netjes.

Disliked: Afwassen was wel een dingetje aangezien je niet echt een volwaardige wasbak hebt maar alleen klein wc wasbakje. Zwembad was kapot maar was er actief mee bezig om dit te repareren! Er liepen tevens ook twee katten rond die echt hulp nodig hebt van een dierenarts. Niet zeker of deze van de eigenaar waren, maar liepen wel duidelijk over zijn terrein.
