Camping Le Grand Large

very pleasant

bad wifi signal

This was the first time we had stayed at the camp-site and found it to be excellent. It is well laid out with hedges between each pitch which gives a little privacy.

The only thing which I disliked was the price of wifi connection - €6 for 2 hours. The week before we had been to a site - also on the Cotentin peninsula - which charged €20 for 60 hours. I realise that this is out of the control of the camp site proprietors but I think that there should be a better deal - the mobile phone signal is not that good at the camp site except near the office complex.

Actually position of the campsite is perfect by the sea

Overall price was expensive. For a 5 start site the was no phone reception so felt forced into buying wifi which was expensive. Our motorhome was crammed into a pitch opposite the indoor pool and had trouble getting it in and out due to other cars being parked either side. We stayed in 6 campsites on this holiday and this was felt the most disappointing which was a pity as it was our last site.

The staff were excellent as always. Everything is spotlessly clean.

Nothing really.

Everything

No food served only chips

Attention to detail during the Covid situation was second to none. We felt very safe. The amenities for children and adults were brilliant even though we didn’t need to use them. Water and drainage on each pitch is an added bonus.

Considering the site is so far from Pieux down country lanes the shop on site was very poorly stocked for anyone with a Motorhome who didn’t want to go on and off all the time. I wouldn’t feel happy cycling those lanes either and without a car it meant you needed to really stock your groceries before arriving. We understand Covid has made a difference and don’t know what it is like under normal circumstances

Really friendly English speaking staff. Direct on beach, 1 minute walk. Water sport paradise, surfing, kitesurfing. Really new and clean shower block. A library with English novels. Campsite is not huge , so was very quiet. Table tennis, swimming pool all great to have.

Due to corona there was no entertainment, not sure if there is entertainment usually. Super U is 3km but no busses, walking along country roads to get there is a bit dangerous. So you need to drive there.

Super location close to beach. Really well managed.

Poor WiFi makes it difficult to work if you are self employed.

The best site we have stayed at. Absolutely spotless, great pools and beach.

The location is perfect: the beach is right next to the campsite and a few minute drive from a supermarket (Super U). The pitches were large and nicely delineated by hedges. The shower blocks were spotless and there were kids sinks and toilets which makes life easier! The swimming pools were very nice and clean and were never busy so we always managed to find sunbeds.

The snack bar had very little choice (only greasy food) and was overpriced.
