Nature campsite in Les Cresnays
Small-scale and green campsite in the heart of Normandy, surrounded by ponds, meadows and a small forest. The five-hectare site feels spacious and natural, with spots by the water, in the shade of trees or out in the open field. You choose where to pitch your tent or park your camper. The paddocks and open areas give you the feeling of camping right in the middle of nature. Everywhere you will find peaceful corners to relax, from the view over the ponds to the quiet spot in the little forest where you can meditate or simply enjoy the tranquillity.
Camping in the green of Normandy
The campsite offers several large outdoor tables and seating areas. There are two barbecues, a fire pit and a fire bowl, with free firewood while supplies last. In the shade of an old walnut and pear tree hangs a hammock for warm summer days. The cosy utility cabin provides a dishwashing area, drinking water, basic cooking equipment and a small gas stove. You will also find a covered seating area. The compost toilet is separate from the main facilities, and there is a warm shower available for a small fee. The campsite is shared with friendly animals: a dog, three chickens, two cats and two horses. The horses have their own paddock but regularly pass by the camping spots. For those seeking more interaction, there are sessions with the horses, such as an introduction, therapeutic reflection or an ethological activity. These are suitable for both children and adults and can be arranged on site.
Discover the nature and charm of Normandy
The surrounding area is perfect for walkers and cyclists. Quiet paths lead along babbling streams, over gentle hills and through nature areas where dragonflies hover above the water and birds fill the air with song. The village of Les Cresnays has an authentic feel and a historic church, the Église Saint-Pierre. There are plenty of options for day trips. Mont-Saint-Michel is only a 30-minute drive away and is one of France’s most impressive sights. In the coastal town of Granville, you can enjoy the beach, marina and charming streets lined with grand villas. Domfront offers a beautiful castle and medieval alleys, while the town of Vire is known for its lively market and rich history.
