Camping la Gerfleur

Alan Rogers Review of Camping la Gerfleur

La Gerfleur is a pleasant little site with a relaxed atmosphere and a warm welcome. It is a good holiday base, being an easy cycle ride from the sandy beach at Barneville Plage, or from the harbour and smaller cove at Carteret (both only 1.5 km). There are 40 mobile homes and chalets (13 to rent), but these are separated from 49 individual touring pitches. These are on grass with small dividing hedges and are arranged around a small lake which is used for fishing. All the pitches have electricity hook-ups (6A, long leads needed in places) and some shade from mature trees.

Day trips to the Channel Islands are possible from the nearby port. French and a little English are spoken by the friendly family owners.
