Camping in Normandy – Historic Coastlines, Sandy Beaches and Easy Access from the UK
Normandy in northern France is one of the most accessible and varied regions for a camping holiday from Great Britain. With direct ferry routes to Caen, Cherbourg and Le Havre, camping in Normandy offers a convenient escape combining coastline, countryside and history. Visitors can choose from mobile homes, safari tents, lodges and spacious camping pitches close to the sea or set in peaceful rural surroundings.
The Norman coastline stretches along the English Channel and features long sandy beaches, chalk cliffs and traditional seaside towns. Areas such as the Côte Fleurie, Deauville and Cabourg offer classic seaside charm, while the dramatic cliffs at Étretat provide iconic coastal scenery. Many beaches are wide and gently sloping, making them suitable for families.
Normandy is also internationally known for its historic significance. The D-Day Landing Beaches attract visitors interested in World War II history, with museums and memorial sites located along the coast. Further inland, the medieval island abbey of Mont Saint-Michel – a UNESCO World Heritage Site – remains one of France’s most recognisable landmarks.
The countryside of Normandy is defined by rolling farmland, orchards and half-timbered villages. The region is famous for its dairy products, cider and Calvados, reflecting its strong agricultural traditions. Charming towns such as Bayeux, with its renowned tapestry, and Honfleur, with its picturesque harbour, add cultural depth to the region.
Camping in Normandy combines seaside relaxation, historic exploration and rural tranquillity. With its short travel time from the UK, family-friendly beaches and rich heritage, Normandy remains one of the most popular camping regions in northern France.
