Camping Le Havre de Bernières

Where do I start?
We chose this site from our booklet as
It was rated 4 stars seemed to have the faculties that we wanted etc. honestly? I think the rating system is made up.
I know that French have different toilet systems, but wow. Every time I opened a cubicle door I was faced with a different toilet. From the very traditional ‘squatting style’ to the more western style to something between where you have to sort of balance yourself on a large toilet bowl so as not to fall in as there is no seat.
There were 2 sanitary facilities open when I was there, the first is like someone built a load of cubicles in the middle of a field and then thought that walls were unnecessary but stuck a roof on it. This made for a very draughty experience. They also saw it bit to have a sink for washing clothes, a sink for washing utensils and even a sink for washing oysters; yes just oysters. But walls were unnecessary!
The worst part of this entire ‘complex’ is that the men’s urinals are just there on view of some poor souls camping pitch. Enjoying a bbq? Well if you glance up there are the urinals not even hidden around the side! No,
No they are next to what we deduced as the motor home waste water drain. Completely bizarre and I think even by European standards a bit embarrassing.
After some reconnaissance I found another shower building near the reception that was heated it was again shared but after the horror of what I had described I wasn’t that bothered quite frankly.
Fair dues I remembered to pack my flip flops and it was a completely tiled shower unit so my shoes didn’t get wet like they have in others.
The pool was open air and I believe available. There was a receptionist in the day who was helpful. The bar was not open when we were there but was apparently supposed to be. The pitches were also rammed in so closely together I would dread to think what it would be like in the summer in high season.
There are chalets that can be rented also.
I will not be staying here again.

Le Havre de Bernieres war auf unserer Fahrt durch die Normandie, der Platz, der uns am wenigsten gefallen hat. Die Stellplätze waren zwar ordentlich und auch nihct zu klein, aber die Anlage machte sonst einen eher ungepflegten Eindruck.
Wasserzapfstellen funktionierten nicht, Stromsäulen fielen um, wenn man versuchte sie zu öffnen. Die Sanitäranlagen wurden während der 4 Tage, die wir dort waren nicht einmal gereinigt. Außerdem gab es nur offene Anlagen, also ohne Außenwände, sodass es morgens beim Duschen schon recht frisch war wenn der Wind durch die Duschen pfiff.
Das Personal in der Rezeption war allerdings sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit.
