A natural campsite on a human scale on the Côte des Isles
On the Côte des Isles, between Barneville-Carteret and Portbail. large campsites have often sacrificed space for numbers.
At Les Bosquets, we’ve made the opposite choice: to give priority to bare pitches for tents, caravans and motorhomes. With 105 traditional pitches, campers feel right at home.
With just 17 mobile homes, our campsite retains its authenticity and family spirit. Far from the anonymity of the big resorts, we prefer a serene, friendly pace, true to our values.
Children have their own mini-club in the mornings, and teenagers have their own space: a games room with music, table soccer and pinball, where they can socialize while parents take a breather. The campsite is quiet and the atmosphere friendly without being festive.
It’s become rare. And the families who return every year know it.
