Camping l’Etang des Haizes

Alan Rogers Review of Camping l’Etang des Haizes

This is an attractive and very friendly site with a swimming pool complex that has a four-lane slide, a jacuzzi and a paddling pool. L’Etang des Haizes has 160 good sized pitches, of which 100 are for touring units, on reasonably level ground and all with electricity (10A Europlug). They are set in a mixture of conifers, orchard and shrubbery, with some very attractive, slightly smaller pitches overlooking the lake and 60 mobile homes inconspicuously sited. The fenced lake has a small beach (swimming is permitted), with ducks and pedaloes, and offers good coarse fishing for huge carp (we are told!). There are good toilet and shower facilities where children and campers with disabilities are well catered for.

Monsieur Laurent, the friendly owner of the site, who speaks excellent English, has recently had an outdoor fitness park installed consisting of eight different pieces of equipment all designed to exercise different parts of the body in the fresh air. This is a good area for walking and cycling and an eight kilometre round trip to experience the views from Le Mont de Doville is a must. Just one kilometre away is La Haye-du-Puits with two supermarkets, restaurants and a market on Wednesdays. A good sandy beach is within 10 km. at Bretville sur Ay and in July and August you can try your hand at archery or water polo.
