Camping Cotentin

On land or at sea, there’s no denying the charm of the Cotentin. It is wild and authentic, and you can explore it any way you please. Journey back in time on the D-Day landing beaches, stroll through the streets of the characteristic villages, sample the delicious local produce or set off along the coastal footpaths... a wonderful Normandy getaway awaits!

Whether you’re with family, friends or just the two of you, our Sandaya campsite in the heart of the Cotentin has everything you need for a memorable stay: a lovely water park with covered swimming pool, fully comfortable accommodation, children’s clubs and, most importantly, direct access to the beach. That’s Sandaya – camping inspired by freedom! 

There’s plenty to do and see with the family in the Cotentin. Whether they’re looking for sport, culture or fun, every member of your clan will find something to their liking. A visit of the D-Day landing beaches is a fascinating yet moving experience for visitors of any age. When you’re in Cherbourg-en-Cotentin, make sure you visit the umbrella factory and its museum before heading off to explore Barfleur or Saint-Vaast-la-Hougue. When you’re settled back in your accommodation, take some time to watch (perhaps not for the first time?) “The Umbrellas of Cherbourg”, the musical romantic masterpiece written and directed by Jacques Demy. 

A stay in Normandy is also an opportunity for your young campers to play at being food critics as they try out some new flavours! The Cotentin abounds with yummy specialities such as cider (for the grown-ups), smoked ham, traditional biscuits and other sweet and savoury delights that will make your mouths water!

Visit with your special someone and you’ll find plenty to keep you occupied on land, at sea or even in the air! If rambling is your thing, set off on one of the many hiking trails, suited to all levels, that criss-cross the region. The legendary “customs path”, for example, offers some stunning views. 

Thrill-seekers will opt for a flight in a paraglider, hand glider or microlight aircraft. A bird’s eye view of the Cotentin is just as spectacular as the landscapes seen from the ground! And as for the sea? You’ll be spoilt for choice, so will you choose a kayak, a catamaran or a surfboard, or opt for a tubing session instead? There are (almost) boundless possibilities for fun in the water. Take your pick or try them all!
