Campsite information

When you holiday at camping Riva Bella, you’re staying in an area with a rich history. It’s a few kilometres from the Normandy D- Day landing beaches and 10 km from William the Conqueror’s castle in Caen. The campsite itself is very modern. With a lovely heated pool and the lively and welcoming harbour town of Ouistreham just around the corner. The closest regular beach is 2.5 kilometres away.

The campsite is well maintained, with neat straight avenues and perfectly manicured lawns. It’s right by the Orne canal, which links Caen to the sea. Luxury yachts and huge ferry boats parade in the harbour.
Fancy a swim? Take your pick. Either dive into the new pool (and then dry off on a lounger on the sun terrace) or take a refreshing dip in the sea ( and then chill out on the gorgeous goldens sands).
Everything is properly organized. New mobile homes, modern sanitation facilities, tasty food at the restaurant, 2 playgrounds and a kids petting zoo. Hire a bike? Good idea! Riding along the dykes and into the interior is a real treat.
Want to know the quickest way to the D-Day beaches? The best restaurants in Ouistreham or Cabourg? The perfect day out with the kids? No problem. Nip by reception and they’ll gladly point you in the right direction!

"Neat Campsite with heated pool, 2.5 kilometres from the beach and close to the lively town centre of Ouistreham. It’s just a short bike ride to Caen and the perfect base from which to discover Normandy"

The surrounding area of Riva Bella

Some tips for your holiday at Riva Bella in Ouistreham

Feel like a city trip? Then visit Caen. It’s just 10 km by bike. Hop off by one of the lively terraced bars in the city centre. Be amazed by the imposing castle of William the conqueror. It’s a beautiful city!
Not to be missed….the D-Day landing beaches. Visit the D-Day museum in Arromanches and relive history. Really impressive!
Ask the kids what their perfect day out would be and they’ll answer in unison.. ‘Beauregard Aventure! ‘It’s a sensational tree top adventure park in Herouville St. Clair. Choose from 10 different courses. From easy to extreme! Let’s go!
There are lots of fancy seaside resorts on the Côte Fleurie. Honfleur, Cabourg and Deauville are the perfect places to saunter between stately 19th century Belle Epoque villa's and fashionable seaside promenades. Filled with terraced bars, restaurants and shops!
History lovers are in for a treat with the 70 metre long tapestry from Bayeux. It’s an embroidered medieval comic strip titled’ The battle for England.’
