Today, we're breaking a myth: camping in Normandy isn't just for the summer season! Find below the list of campsites open in October and November to enjoy the area both in the countryside and near the sea!

Summary :


Nature lovers and seasoned campers already know: camping is not just for the summer! To convince diehards that camping is an accommodation that can be enjoyed from spring to fall, we decided to break the myths. Are you ready? So, let's deconstruct together 5 false truths about camping to build 5 new reasons to try it!

Clichés around the campsite

Guess what, the list is long: from small animals to lack of convenience, the clichés surrounding camping are numerous and often superior to reality (especially do not ask chat GPT to draw up the list for you, we have already tested). And yet, camping is underrated, the fault of the rustic, even rudimentary, image that persists in the popular imagination.

There is no comfort.

There is no privacy.

The toilets are shared.

The food is not great.

There is nothing to do around.

Did this make you smile? That's a good thing! It means that the little diehard in you is ready to try new experiences! For the others who shuddered with fear, don't panic because we are going to take you slowly but surely towards the path of healing and free the bivouac in you!

There is no comfort!

Spoiler alert: the days of cave camping are long gone. These days, campsites offer amenities that are just as comfortable as hotels.

There is no privacy!

This is still false… well almost. Although campsites maintain this friendly promiscuity that campers sometimes seek during their stay (and which makes the charm and magic of certain places), more and more establishments are rethinking their layout for more privacy.

The toilets are shared!

Still wrong! Campsites offer mobile homes and chalets for rent that have a private bathroom and toilets.

The food is not great!

Wrong, wrong and wrong again! Just like the toilets, you also have everything you need to prepare delicious meals with the products you have purchased directly from the markets or at the local producers !

There is nothing to do around!

Even more false than false! And it is valid even in October and November, during the All Saints' Day holidays in our country. Beach walks and in natural spaces, visits to the municipalities of the territory independently with the circuits from the tourist office, immersion in history with museums, sites and places to visit : you have more than one activity to test or retest!

If you are won over, find below the campsite rentals in the area to enjoy Normandy in a different way during your next vacation!
