The Donjon de Lars campsite is in a verdant location with proximity to the sea… My advice: opt for a Raoul mobile home on a plot (the category of accommodation type centred around comfort). Without the need for a car and close to the children’s play area, this mobile home is in the ideal spot!

Camping Donjon de Lars - Your holiday in Courseulles-sur-Mer
Direct access to sandy beaches, Langrune-sur-mer (4 miles) and Sword beach (7 miles). This campsite is situated on Normandy's coastline in close proximity to Caens, William the Conqueror's city.
In Calvados, the Donjon de Lars campsite is at an ideal seaside location with direct access to the beach of Courseulles sur Mer! Just 800 metres from the town centre and port, this campsite proposes fully-equipped modern accommodation units (caravans/tents are not accepted).
The campsite features a water park comprising a heated outdoor swimming pool, double water slides, a large heated indoor pool with a fun paddling pool for children, and a Space Bowl slide that older children will love!
Courseulles sur Mer is a beautiful seaside resort on the Mother-of-Pearl Coast in Normandy. The sandy beaches invite holidaymakers to swim, sunbathe and indulge in beach games. The sailing club proposes a host of activities for children and adults: introduction to sailing using Optimist sailboats, advanced sailing, mini-windsurfing, diving, canoeing, sea kayaking, sandyachting etc.
On the D-Day Landing Beaches of June 1944, you’ll discover sites steeped in history for example: Omaha Beach, Utah Beach and Juno Beach.The Caen Memorial museum is 12 miles from the Donjon de Lars campsite. The musuem is one of Normandy’s most visited attractions and it overlooks 86 acres, including the American, Canadian and British gardens that pay tribute to the soldiers lost at war.
Nearby, you can visit the town of Bayeux with its picturesque half-timbered houses and narrow streets. Be sure to stop by the Bayeux museum to catch a glimpse of the famous Bayeux tapestry which encompasses a significant part of the existing medieval history of France and England. Perfect for family outings, the Bayeux Adventure Park lies 30 minutes from the campsite, with 10 unique tree-climbing courses, diverse attractions for thrill seekers, zorbing, bungee-run, rodeo bull rides, pony rides, baby adventure, paintball, a petting zoo, and much more...capable of pleasing the whole family. Last but not least, in Arromanches, you can admire the remains of a makeshift harbour which was installed during the war.
