Camping Citadelle de Loustic

A 5-star campsite 900 metres from the sea

Camping La Citadelle de Loustic is located at chemin des Hautes Sentes in Hermanville-sur-Mer, in Calvados. Its setting is iconic: 900 metres from Sword Beach, one of the mythical D-Day landing beaches from June 1944. This historic dimension makes all the difference and is particularly popular with families seeking a stay combining relaxation, entertainment and heritage discovery. The 5-star estate spans a carefully landscaped park, with shaded, well-defined pitches to preserve everyone’s privacy. The accommodation on offer is brand-new, top-comfort mobile homes, particularly appreciated for their modern amenities and thoughtful layout: a premium range that is one of the campsite’s key differentiators. The immediate proximity of the D-Day beaches and Caen, less than 20 km away, is among its major assets. Open from 10 April to 20 September 2026, the establishment holds a rating of 9.0/10 across more than 3,000 customer surveys, a testament to its recognised quality.

Restaurant, bar and Capfun’s Fun Dose Rouge

On-site catering is complete: an à la carte restaurant showcases Normandy flavours — grilled dishes, market fare, Calvados seafood — complemented by a quicker bar-snack bar with pizzas, platters and ice cream. Both establishments are open throughout the campsite’s season, from 10 April to 20 September 2026. The outdoor terrace overlooking the park is very popular at the end of the day. On the entertainment side, the Capfun team rolls out its famous Fun Dose Rouge in high season, a packed programme that livens up the campsite all week long: Clapou clubs for 4-6 year-olds, Politicator for 7-10 year-olds, Nobodys for teens, as well as the classic water wake-ups, sports tournaments and show evenings. This intensity of entertainment is one of the strengths regularly mentioned by regulars who appreciate the festive pace. Practical services include a convenience store, a daily bread delivery service, a launderette, wifi in communal areas and bike hire.

D-Day beaches, historic Caen and Mont-Saint-Michel

The Citadelle de Loustic’s location makes it an exceptional base for discovering historic, touristic Normandy. Sword Beach, 900 metres away, is one of the five D-Day landing beaches, where the British landed in June 1944. The other beaches — Juno, Gold, Omaha and Utah Beach — are within an hour’s reach, with their cemeteries, museums and still-visible German batteries. Caen, capital of the Mémorial and great ducal city, is less than 20 km away: its historic centre, its Abbaye aux Hommes and Abbaye aux Dames, and the Mémorial pour la Paix deserve a full day. Bayeux, forty minutes away, reveals its famous tapestry, listed as World Heritage. Further away, Mont-Saint-Michel, about 1h30 away, deserves a day. Honfleur, the charming port of the Côte Fleurie, and Deauville are an hour away for a refreshing getaway. At the campsite, a multi-sport pitch, pétanque and table tennis tables keep sports enthusiasts occupied. For gastronomy lovers, calvados cellars and Isigny cheesemakers await.
