Camping La Forêt Jumièges

Alan Rogers Review

This is a pleasant family site with a friendly, relaxed atmosphere, owned by the Commare family who have made a number of improvements in recent years, by adding a cover to the pool and rebuilding the main toilet block. The 90 grassy pitches (78 for tourers, all with 10A electricity) are attractively located in woodland. Most pitches have some shade at different times of the day.

The nearby village of Jumièges, a short walk away, is surrounded on three sides by one of the huge bends of the River Seine - it is located in the Parc Naturel Régional des Boucles de la Seine. The great abbey at Jumièges was founded in 654 by Saint Philibert, rebuilt by the Normans and consecrated in the presence of William the Conqueror – well worth a visit!

The village also has a few shops and a choice of four restaurants. Historic Rouen is an easy drive to the east and has a great deal to offer; as well as its famous cathedral, its picturesque streets and its associations with Joan of Arc, it is a great place for those seeking retail therapy and has a good choice of bars and restaurants. Take your car, or your bicycles, on the Bac (a car ferry) across the Seine to the west of Jumièges and you are in the heart of the Parc Naturel and the extensive Forêt de Brotonne. Other days out could include a trip to Honfleur, with its water-front bars and restaurants.
