Evaluations that are not older than three years and have undergone a verification process. More infoLieve mensen, We hebben het wederom geweldig gehad op jullie fijne camping. Genoten van de rust en de prima voorzieningen die jullie zo goed samen onderhouden. Hier worden wij blij van! Graag weer tot een volgende keer!
De rustige plek en de grote plek met aparte parkeermogelijkheid voor onze aanhangwagen en motor.

In 2019 voor het eerst geweest en toen kon er wel wat verbeterd worden Dit jaar voor de 2e keer daar geweest. Apart nieuw sanitairgebouw- tje, nieuwe afwasbakken, douches en toiletten. Zwembad verbeterd. Al met al goede verbeteringen. Delphine maakt het meerdere keren per dag schoon. Eigenaren zijn harde werkers en gastvrij.
Scheiding tussen parkeerplaats 45 en 47 kan beter weggehaald worden, zodat je makkelijker in-en uit parkeren kan. Brood 's morgens prima maar de croissants en chocoladebroodjes van de bakker zijn niet bijzonder.
De rust op de camping
Ik kan wel zeggen de duiven in de boom waaronder onze caravan stond en ons dak onderkakten, maar dan krijg ik vast een gepaste reactie van Delphine zoals ze deed bij iemand die klaagde over de pauw.
Dear Madam, Thank you for returning to stay with us and for taking the time to share your feedback. We are genuinely pleased that you noticed the many improvements we have made since your first visit in 2019. As you mentioned, the new sanitary facilities, improved swimming pool and other upgrades represent a great deal of work, and we appreciate your recognition of the effort we put into maintaining the campsite every day. Regarding the parking spaces, the divider is there for a reason. It allows each of the two pitches to have its own private parking space and prevents one guest from occupying both. We understand that it may require a little more care when parking, but removing it would simply create new issues for other campers. As for the croissants and chocolate pastries, tastes are, of course, very personal. We regularly enjoy them ourselves and think they are delicious, so perhaps we simply have very bad taste! 😊 Finally, about the peacock… and now the pigeons. You are quite right: my response is exactly the same. Just as I cannot control the peacock, I also cannot control the pigeons, rabbits, frogs or any of the other wildlife that shares our beautiful countryside. They all seem to enjoy the campsite as much as our guests do! Thank you once again for your visit, and we hope that if you decide to return for a third stay, you will continue to notice the improvements we can make… while accepting that nature sometimes has plans of its own. Best regards Delphine & Laurent

The camping owners were very nice and helpfully. They were always in a good mood but were very clear with applying their rules.
We had very warm weather but we good not get icecreams because it was outside the high season. Perhaps it would be nice in these circumstances to be a little more flexible.
We had pitch 35 which was on the outside skirt of the camping. A nice spot
Everything was perfect
Dear Madam, Dear Sir, Thank you very much for your kind review and for your lovely comments about our welcome and our campsite. We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay, especially your pitch and the friendly atmosphere. We would also like to apologise for the disappointment regarding the ice creams. It was not so much a question of flexibility as of anticipation. Before July, we do not usually stock ice creams because deliveries are not scheduled for June. Like many people this year, we were caught by surprise by the exceptional heatwave! Your comment is very valuable, and we will certainly take it into account when planning future seasons so that we can better adapt if such unusually warm weather arrives earlier than expected. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back again soon! Warm regards Delphine & Laurent

Everything about the site was excellent.

Le Picard is a lovely site run by a very helpful friendly couple that are there for you but not intrusive quiet and relaxing the pool is really nice and the restaurant over the weekend is a really nice bonus and the food was really good. The facilities are spotless there are plenty of them and have male female and mixed. Set in a really nice quiet area but not far to travel to shops bars supermarket etc. This is definitely a site we will be returning to and would have no hesitation in recommending.
No dislikes don't change a thing perfect
Good sized pitches hedged off perfect
No dislikes
Dear Mr Revitt, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! Reading comments like yours makes all the hard work worthwhile. We are delighted that you enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere, the cleanliness of our facilities, the swimming pool, and Laurent's weekend restaurant. Your kind words about our hospitality mean a great deal to us. We especially loved your comment: *"Don't change a thing!"* We can't promise that, as we are always looking for ways to make the campsite even better... but we will certainly do our best to keep everything you enjoyed! It was a real pleasure welcoming you, and we truly appreciate your recommendation. We are already looking forward to seeing you again for another relaxing stay at Le Picard! Warm regards, Delphine & Laurent

Had 3 nights stay at this campsite clean and quiet.
Bar open more nights.
Well equipped pitch
Dear Madam, Dear Sir, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback following your stay with us. We are delighted that you enjoyed the cleanliness, the peaceful atmosphere of the campsite and your well-equipped pitch. Regarding the bar, you may not have realised that we are just two people managing the entire campsite. Outside of July and August, our bar and restaurant are open only three evenings per week. This information is clearly available on our website and is also included in the welcome email sent before arrival. A quick read and a little planning make it easy to organise your stay, as reservations are required at least 24 hours in advance. That said, although your request came only two hours before dinner, we still managed to find a table for four people because we always do our best to accommodate our guests whenever possible. It is therefore a little disappointing that this effort appears to have contributed to a 4/10 service rating, when it was actually an exception we were happy to make. We hope you enjoyed your stay overall and look forward to welcoming you back in the future. Best regards. Delphine & Laurent

The calm atmosphere
Ice cream availability!
Size of pitch, access to water and electricity
Wifi did not work, but host apologised for this.
Dear Madam, Dear Sir, Thank you very much for your kind review and for highlighting the peaceful atmosphere of our campsite and the comfort of your pitch. We’re delighted you enjoyed your stay with us. We're sorry that our ice creams were not yet available during your visit. We usually start stocking them from July, but this year's warm weather arrived much earlier than expected and caught us by surprise! Regarding the Wi-Fi, thank you for your understanding. Following a recent system update, two of our access points have unfortunately stopped working properly. We are spending a lot of time with our technician to resolve the issue as quickly as possible. In the meantime, Wi-Fi remains available around the swimming pool and throughout the left-hand side of the campsite. Thank you again for your valuable feedback. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back soon, with ice creams ready and a fully restored Wi-Fi connection! Best regards. Delphine & Laurent

Great showers and toilets. All brand new.
All good.
Could be slightly bigger to get car on the pitch but you do get a parking place.
Dear Mr Eyles, Thank you so much for your wonderful review and for choosing to stay with us again. It truly means a lot to us that you came back, and we're delighted to know that you had another enjoyable stay. Your kind words and excellent rating are greatly appreciated and motivate us to continue doing our best to make every guest feel welcome. It was a real pleasure to see you again, and we hope to welcome you back for a third visit in the near future! Best regards. Delphine & LAurent

What a wonderful place! After a warm welcome the campsite manager showed us around. Everthing is clean and well-maintained. The (most) pitches are seperated from each other. A lot of trees provide shade from the sun. We thought the communal garden was great. We loved this campsite and the region and we‘ll come back!
The trees for shade. Perfect size of the pitch & the hedges for some privacy.
Dear Mr and Mrs Reinhardt, Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay with us and appreciated the warm welcome, the privacy of the pitches, the shade from our trees, and our shared garden. It's also lovely to hear that you enjoyed discovering our beautiful region. Thank you for your kind words. We can't wait to welcome you back to Camping Picard for another relaxing stay! Warm regards, Delphine & Laurent

This was my first time caravanning solo. I was made welcome as soon as I arrived and the service I received throughout my stay by both Delphine and Laurent was great. This is a lovely small site but has all the amenities I needed. Some of their longer standing guests also made me welcome, creating a family atmosphere. During my visit I reached all of the D day sites from Utah beach to the Merville Battery with ease.
Dedicated stand pipe. Shaded area. Although I did not use an awning, there was plenty of room on my pitch to have put one up.
Dear Mr Heath, Thank you so much for your lovely review! We are especially pleased that your first solo caravanning experience was such a positive one. Creating a warm, friendly atmosphere where everyone feels welcome is exactly what we hope for, so your kind words mean a lot to us. Thank you as well for keeping an eye on our campsite rabbit, Caramel – he clearly enjoyed having such a caring neighbour during your stay! 🐰 We hope to welcome you back soon for more adventures in Normandy... and Caramel will be waiting to say hello! Warm regards, Delphine & Laurent

Well kept site. owners very approachable
Nearer grey water disposal points
What can you say, good pitch with water and electricity
Dear Mr and Mrs Hatcher, Thank you very much for this excellent review. We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay. To answer to your comment about the grey water disposal you could use the chimical toilet point that was near your pitch to dispose of your wastewater. It is designed for both functions. Warm regards, Delphine & Laurent

We regularly stay on this site and our caravan is stored there. We can quickly settle in and begin a restful stay. We find the site always of a high standard and enjoy the small family feel of it. This time we were lucky to have an evening at the ‘Snack’ (restaurant) meeting with other people of different nationalities coming together to enjoy a concert which was great fun.
The owners, Delphine and Laurent are continuously maintaining and upgrading the grounds and facilities so find they are always on top of what next is needed. So, nothing to add as we find everything as we would wish it to be.
Perfect pitch for us facing out to the fields enjoying the calmness of the site and watching the wildlife. The campsite’s newer facilities were close which was an added bonus.
No.
Dear Wendy and Dave, Thank you very much for this excellent review. It is always a pleasure to welcome you at Le Picard. See you in September. Warm regards. Delphine & Laurent

It’s one of the best sites we have stayed in, owners were excellent and extremely friendly and spoke good English. Site very neat and tidy, plenty of very hot water and showers to die for.
None as it’s perfect
Very private pitch and your own water tap
The peacock…
Dear Mr and Mrs Poole, Thank you for your fantastic review! We're thrilled that you enjoyed your stay. And about the peacock... sadly, he's not ours, just one of our colourful local neighbours who likes to remind everyone who's really in charge of the Normandy countryside! We will see you again in July. Best regards. Delphine & Laurent

Great owners, so friendly and welcoming. Can’t fault the site, facilities always clean and plenty of them. Good size pitches. Great pool and outside seating. Had a great evening of food, music and dance while we were there a fab night. Would highly recommend t this site for a nice quiet stay.
Great size pitch all amenities close by as a nice small and friendly site
Great central site for visiting all the Normandy beaches and memorials
Dear Mrs and Mr Langdown, Thank you so much for your wonderful review and recommendation. We are delighted that you enjoyed the campsite, the facilities, and especially the evening of food, music, and dancing. Seeing our guests having such a great time together is exactly what we hope for! We look forward to welcoming you back, and if you're visiting Normandy again, don't forget our next concert evening on August 5th—we'd love to see you on the dance floor again! Best wishes, Delphine & Laurent

Location and the enthoustic of the owners
Nice pitch with privat water supply
Pitch is small and we need our mover to place our caravan
Dear Madam, Dear Sir, Thank you for your excellent review and for your kind words about our location and hospitality. We are pleased that you enjoyed your pitch and the private water connection. Regarding the size, all our pitch dimensions are indicated on our website and range from 80 to 100 m². As your caravan measures approximately 7 x 3 metres, we believed the allocated pitch would provide sufficient space, although we understand that manoeuvring can sometimes be challenging depending on the equipment used. We hope to welcome you back again in the future! Best regards, Delphine & Laurent

Lovely spacious pitch

We had the most wonderful week at Le Picard. It is a beautifully maintained and immaculately clean campsite. It has brilliant facilities and is well located for doing all the Normandy sights. We will definitely be back. Laurent and Delphine were so friendly and helpful and made the stay a great one. Would highly recommend this site to anyone travelling to or through Normandy, especially if you are after some peace and quiet after a day out seeing the sights or just a few days relaxation. 10/10!
Sink in washroom could do with a plug but such a minor issue - can bring my own!
Well maintained and serviced. Adapters were provided if needed. plenty of space.
Dear Mr and Mrs Taylor, Thank you so much for your wonderful review and for taking the time to share your experience at Le Picard. We are truly delighted that you enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere, the cleanliness of the campsite, and our location for exploring Normandy. It was a real pleasure to welcome you, and your kind words about our hospitality mean a lot to us. We are also very happy to hear that you appreciated the spacious pitch and the facilities provided. Regarding the sink plug, thank you for your suggestion. We had actually already thought about this idea, but from experience we are not always sure that removable plugs would stay in place throughout the whole season and unfortunately they often tend to disappear. However, we will certainly pass your feedback on to the designer/manufacturer as it could help improve the product in the future. We would be delighted to welcome you back for another relaxing stay in Normandy! Warm regards, Laurent & Delphine

Quiet, well appointed site with good washroom facilities plant of hot water, ointment site cafe and shop selling some items. The site is well located for travelling to the Normandy sites especially if you have an interest in the D Day landings. We also travelled to Monet Gardens at Givenchy and although it is a full day trip easily accomplished.
The pitch was all we needed for our c'van and awning - an additional parking space is proved adjacent to the site (45). no problems with either water supply or electricity which is supplied by a standard socket
Dear Mrs and Mr Beggs, Thank you very much for your lovely review. We are delighted that you enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere of the campsite, the facilities, and our location for exploring Normandy and the D-Day sites. It is also great to hear that pitch 45 suited your caravan setup perfectly and that everything worked well during your stay. We hope to welcome you again in the future! Best regards, Laurent & Delphine
