Les Capucines

Camping Les Capucines is located in Ranville, in the Calvados department, described as the first village liberated in France. The D-Day Beaches route (Route des Plages du Débarquement) runs about 200 m away, on the road linking Ouistreham to Cabourg; the village shopping centre is 800 m away. Caen is 12 km away, and Deauville, Bayeux, Falaise and the Suisse Normande can be reached for excursions.

The website advertises 140 pitches, with two washroom blocks and hot water at all points, as well as 14 tarmac pitches for motorhomes. Free wifi is offered. Tent pitches are accessible only from 1 May to 30 September and without electricity; twin-axle caravans are not accepted. The team speaks French, English, Dutch, German, Italian and Danish.

Opening period: the website mentions an annual closure on 30 November 2025, subject to change depending on the weather, and the contact page states that the campsite is currently closed. No reopening date is published. Winter motorhome access is therefore not confirmed: you need to contact the campsite, by email or text message, before travelling. Check-in takes place on arrival, in the afternoon only.

The campsite advertises two washroom blocks with hot water at all points, free wifi and 14 tarmac pitches reserved for motorhomes. In the village, 800 m away, the shopping centre is equipped with 100 kVA charging points, and two other MobiSDEC charging points are 400 m away. Tents are accepted only from 1 May to 30 September, without electricity.

The campsite does not advertise any on-site entertainment. Its position on the D-Day Beaches route makes it easy to reach Ouistreham and Cabourg, to visit Caen 12 km away, and then Bayeux, Falaise, Deauville and the Suisse Normande for day excursions.
