Review of the campsite :

Very convenient for the town and walks to the peninsular/hogue. Good facilities and very friendly staff. Nice pool and basic family friendly bar serving snacks in the evening. Showers and toilets very clean and adequate number to provide for all.

See below re pitch.

Accommodation review : Package pitch for van, camper, mobilhome or tent + electricity

Excellent toilet and shower facilities. Pitches private with good hedges.

Our pitch -128- was a bit small for our size of vehicle, required much maneuvering and was well worn, while plenty of other better pitches were available. Would have asked for a move but by the time we had negotiated a 15 point turn to get in position we didn't bother for our 3 night stay.

Establishment response

Thank you so much for your kind and detailed review! We’re really happy to hear that you enjoyed the location, the cleanliness of our facilities, and the friendliness of our team. It’s also great to know that you made the most of the pool, the bar, and the beautiful walks around Saint-Vaast and La Hougue. We’re sorry to hear that pitch 128 wasn’t ideal for your vehicle. Don’t hesitate next time to come and see us at reception — we’re always happy to help find a better-suited pitch when availability allows, even after a challenging parking situation! We hope to welcome you back soon for a longer and more comfortable stay. Safe travels until then!

Review of the campsite :

Nice upgrade to the wash block. Town always something on. Beaches close. Close to Cherbourg ferries. Very pleasant English speaking reception team.

Accommodation review : Package pitch for van, camper, mobilhome or tent + electricity

Pitches have plenty of space even for us 9.0 Motorhome. Electric good.

Tight campsite roads. Look first

Establishment response

Thank you very much for your kind feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed the improvements to the wash block, as well as the spacious pitches and the lively town nearby. It’s always a pleasure to welcome our English-speaking guests and make you feel at home. You’re right — the campsite roads can be a bit tight for large motorhomes, so a quick check before driving in is always a good idea. We hope to welcome you again soon in Saint-Vaast-la-Hougue!

Review of the campsite :

Constantly upgrading and making sure the campsite is in top condition, all facilities are clean and modern with the bonus of a great pool. Location is ideal if arriving/departing from Cherbourg (30 mins drive) with lots to do and see in Saint Vaast whether walking or cycling. Reception staff are very helpful

Accommodation review : Package pitch for van, camper, mobilhome or tent + electricity

Nice spacious level pitches

Establishment response

Hello, Thank you so much for your kind and positive review! We’re delighted that you enjoyed the cleanliness and quality of our facilities, the pool, and the spacious, level pitches. Your kind words about our reception team truly mean a lot to us! It’s also great to hear that you made the most of our ideal location — just 30 minutes from Cherbourg — and the many walking and cycling opportunities around Saint-Vaast-la-Hougue. We’d be very happy to welcome you back to Camping La Gallouette for another Normandy getaway! Best regards, The Camping La Gallouette Team

Review of the campsite :

This site is in a great location and very convenient for St Vaast

1. There is no tap which can take a hose so we had to fill our on-board water tank using water bags. 2. Some pitches are really small 3. Hot water supply to showers and wash basins intermittent 4. High season prices start earlier than the rest of France

We’re glad you enjoyed our convenient location, ideal for exploring Saint-Vaast-la-Hougue. However, we’d like to clarify a few points to avoid any misunderstanding for future guests: We provide a dedicated service area for motorhomes, where you can fill up with water and empty waste tanks free of charge. Our pitches range from 80 to 100 m², which is perfectly in line with 4-star campsite standards and offers comfortable space for guests. Regarding hot water, we were quite surprised by your comment. One of our sanitary facilities has recently been renovated and is equipped with a brand-new boiler, providing consistent and comfortable water temperature. You are the first to report such an issue since it opened. Lastly, about our prices: June is considered mid-season, not high season, but not low season either, as it is also the case for many coastal campsites in the region. Best regards, The Camping La Gallouette Team Nous sommes heureux que vous ayez apprécié notre emplacement, idéal pour découvrir Saint-Vaast-la-Hougue.Cependant, nous souhaitons apporter quelques précisions importantes afin de ne pas induire les futurs vacanciers en erreur : Une aire de service gratuite est à disposition pour les camping-cars, permettant le remplissage d’eau et la vidange dans les meilleures conditions. Nos emplacements mesurent entre 80 et 100 m², ce qui correspond aux standards des campings 4 étoiles. Concernant l’eau chaude, nous sommes surpris par votre remarque : nos sanitaires ont récemment été rénovés et équipés d’une chaudière neuve, garantissant une température d’eau constante et agréable. Vous êtes le premier à signaler un souci depuis leur mise en service. Enfin, au sujet des tarifs : nous appliquons en juin des prix de moyenne saison, comme indiqué sur notre site. Cette période ne correspond pas à la haute saison, mais bien à une saison intermédiaire, comme dans de nombreux établissements en bord de mer.

Review of the campsite :

Good pitch size. Friendly and helpful staff.

Ensure dog owners keep dogs on leads and under control. A wandering dog deposited on our pitch and the owner denied all knowledge, enforcing the site cleaner to clear it up. Very unfair on the hard-working staff.

Accommodation review : Package pitch for van, camper, mobilhome or tent + electricity

Excellent, for both short stopovers or longer stays. Good proximity to the town and the sea, walking and cycling.

Out of control dogs.

Establishment response

Hello, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re pleased to hear that you appreciated the pitch, our team’s warm welcome, and the convenient location close to the town and the sea. Regarding dogs, we completely understand your frustration. Upon arrival, all pet owners are given a dedicated notice reminding them of essential rules, including keeping dogs on leads and cleaning up after them. Unfortunately, some guests do not follow these guidelines, and we too have to deal with such inconsiderate behaviour. Please rest assured that we remain vigilant and do our best to ensure a pleasant stay for everyone. Kind regards, The Camping La Gallouette Team Bonjour, Merci d’avoir pris le temps de partager votre expérience. Nous sommes ravis que vous ayez apprécié l’emplacement, l’accueil de notre équipe, ainsi que la situation du camping. Concernant les chiens, nous comprenons parfaitement votre mécontentement. À l’arrivée, chaque propriétaire d’animal reçoit une note d’information spécifique rappelant les règles essentielles, dont la tenue en laisse et le respect de la propreté. Malheureusement, certains campeurs ne respectent pas ces consignes, et nous sommes, comme vous, confrontés à des incivilités regrettables. Nous faisons de notre mieux pour préserver la qualité de séjour de tous nos vacanciers, et votre retour renforce notre vigilance sur ce sujet. Cordialement, L’équipe du Camping La Gallouette

Review of the campsite :

We have visited this campsite a number now and use it as a nice stopover and relaxation site at the start and end of our holidays in Normandy and Brittany. It is a very peaceful and well laid out site within 10 minutes walking time to the delightful fishing village of St Vaast la Hougue. The staff are always welcoming and always very helpful. It is great to see the care that the owners take of the site and it is exciting to see the improvements they are making.

One of the sanitary blocks has recently been updated and is a great facility. The other block is a little dates but kept immaculately clean and is still perfectly functional and is I believe scheduled to be updated soon.

Accommodation review : Package pitch for van, camper, mobilhome or tent + electricity

Great sized pitch close to facilities.

Establishment response

Thank you so much for your continued trust and loyalty — it means a lot to us to welcome you back time and time again! 😊 We’re delighted to know that our campsite has become a peaceful and relaxing stopover for your holidays in Normandy. Your kind words about the staff and the care we put into the site really encourage us to keep improving. We’re glad you liked the renovated sanitary block, and you’re absolutely right: the second block, while still functional and spotless thanks to our cleaning team, is indeed on the schedule for future improvements. We look forward to seeing you again soon in Saint-Vaast-la-Hougue and wish you many more happy getaways! Warm regards, The Team La Gallouette

Review of the campsite :

Good staff, pitches spacious, level and in good condition. Nice planting round the site. Excellent location to walk the dog or visit the town and harbour. Cost of the stay was good value.

People wash their hands at the sink with soap near the toilets which is also used for washing up - doesn’t seem hygienic.

Accommodation review : Package pitch for van, camper, mobilhome or tent + electricity

EHU and water close by. Green and level - lots of space.

Grass and hedges needed cutting. Overhanging trees meant had to use centre of pitch.

Establishment response

Hello, Thank you very much for your positive feedback about the pitch, surroundings, and our team. We regularly mow the grass to maintain a pleasant environment for our guests. However, we deliberately reduce hedge trimming during this time of year to protect nesting birds, in accordance with environmental guidelines. Now that the nesting season is almost over, trimming will resume as usual. Thank you again for your understanding, and we hope to welcome you again soon. Bonjour, Merci beaucoup pour votre retour positif concernant l’emplacement, le cadre et notre équipe. Nous tondons régulièrement l’herbe pour garantir un cadre agréable à nos campeurs. En revanche, nous limitons volontairement la taille des haies à cette période de l’année afin de respecter la période de nidification des oiseaux, conformément aux recommandations environnementales. Maintenant que la nidification est terminée, la taille va reprendre normalement. Merci encore pour votre compréhension et au plaisir de vous accueillir à nouveau.

Review of the campsite :

Clean and tidy, good location, friendly staff. The pool was nice, but it didn't seem heated.

Some of the toilets kept running out of paper.

Accommodation review : Package pitch for van, camper, mobilhome or tent + electricity

Nice position, sheltered.

Establishment response

Hello, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're glad to hear you appreciated the cleanliness of the site, the convenient location, and the friendliness of our team. Regarding the toilet paper issue, we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. The campsite was fully booked this past weekend, with over 500 guests on-site. Although our team checks and services the sanitary facilities at least three times a day, high occupancy can occasionally lead to some dispensers running out between rounds. As for the pool, it is indeed heated, but depending on the weather and frequent use, the temperature may feel cooler at times. Thank you again for staying with us and for your understanding. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back to Saint-Vaast-la-Hougue in the future. Best regards, The Camping La Gallouette Team Bonjour, Merci d’avoir pris le temps de partager votre retour. Nous sommes ravis que vous ayez apprécié l’emplacement du camping, la propreté des lieux ainsi que l’accueil de notre équipe. Concernant le papier toilette, nous tenons à vous présenter nos excuses pour ce désagrément. Le camping affichait complet ce week-end, avec plus de 500 personnes sur le site. Bien que notre équipe effectue au minimum trois passages quotidiens dans les sanitaires, il peut malheureusement arriver, notamment en période de forte affluence, que certains distributeurs se vident entre deux interventions. Enfin, pour ce qui est de la piscine, elle est bien chauffée, mais selon la météo et l’utilisation intensive, la température peut parfois sembler plus fraîche. Merci encore pour votre venue et votre compréhension. Au plaisir de vous accueillir une prochaine fois à Saint-Vaast-la-Hougue. Bien cordialement, L’équipe du Camping La Gallouette

Worn and a bit muddy

Establishment response

Hello, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're happy to hear you enjoyed the location of the campsite and the size of your pitch. As for the sanitary facilities, it’s true that rainy weather can lead to them getting dirty more quickly. Our team cleans the facilities at least three times a day, especially the floors. However, it’s not always possible to step in after every individual use. We’d also like to point out that we’ve recently opened a brand-new summer sanitary block—completely new and designed for greater comfort. If your comment referred to another area, we’re sorry to hear that, but rest assured that this new facility is available to all our guests. We were also quite surprised by your remark about the young man at reception. Angelo has been part of our team for several seasons and is well known for his kindness and professionalism. We've never received a single negative comment about him until now, and we’re sorry your impression was different. Thank you again for your feedback—it helps us improve continuously. Best regards, The Camping La Gallouette Team

Review of the campsite :

Efficient and friendly! We love this site and its situation so close to the coast and the town. The facilities are good and the pool is lovely.

Our exit barrier card didn't work, this was not a problem as staff were on hand, but had it been later on it could have been awkward.

Accommodation review : Package pitch for van, camper, mobilhome or tent + electricity

Private pitch with good hedging, ability to create sun or shade, relaxed positioning of camper on pitch.

Great

Nothing

Establishment response

We are surprised by your comment regarding the lack of pricacy when the sanitary block are being cleaned. We do clean 5 times a day and this is why we have great reviews on the hygiene and cleanliness of our sanitary block. Unfortunately for you, it seems that you have used them each time at the same time as our cleaning team was there. However, we have 2 sanitary blocks. Therefore, when one is being cleaned, we always redirect the campers to use the other one instead.
