Exactly as described! You can park for free and walk to Le Mont-Saint-Michel, about 5 km all the way, or 2 km to the shuttle bus. Very friendly owner, and you can buy regional products cheaply. The neighbouring car park is overpriced at €28.
Excellent products at fair prices, very kind and attentive owner, 3 km on foot from Le Mont-Saint-Michel and 2 minutes from the free shuttles. Parking only: no water, toilets or dumping facilities. Free, but it is suggested that you buy something.
If there are still hidden gems, this is certainly one of them. There are only a few pitches, but they are offered with great friendliness and completely free of charge. Naturally, we also bought something in the shop: very good products at reasonable prices. Dear owners, please keep it up. Your attitude is not something to be taken for granted nowadays.
We parked there during the day. We bought products in the shop and received a very pleasant welcome. Thank you.
We arrived at the village around noon, but there were no free spaces left. What a pity.
Simply top! Good advice, good products, and friendly too. Lovely walks, even at night. As usual, leave the place clean. Thank you for this place.
An exceptional welcome, with the hosts accommodating us for overnight parking. A toilet and a few tables are available. Immediately near the shuttles to Mont-Saint-Michel. And it is free! Remember to thank the hosts by buying their good products—cider, apple juice, terrine, caramel and cakes—which are cheaper than on the Mont. Highly recommended.
Nice shop owner; we spent one night here.
We arrived in the middle of the afternoon; snacks were available on site, and we spent a quiet night, ideal for visiting the site. Very welcoming and accommodating hosts for parking spaces. Thank you very much. Good local products.
Pleasant and friendly welcome. I reserved a space by phone 45 minutes beforehand—excellent, they were waiting for us. We arrived yesterday at 4 p.m., spent the evening at Mont-Saint-Michel, and had a quiet night. This morning we walked to see this wonder again. Free parking; we bought cider and a few treats.
We arrived during the afternoon and were assigned a nice spot in the parking area. We enjoyed the beautiful view of Mont-Saint-Michel with a delicious drink from their shop. A quiet night! The next morning we took the bus, a five-minute walk away, to visit the abbey. Phenomenal! Thank you for the warm welcome.
A very pleasant, quiet one-night stay. We were warmly welcomed by the shop owners. Very good regional products. Mont-Saint-Michel is about 35 minutes away on foot and the shuttles are about 5 minutes away on foot. One night for two adults and one child.
What a great place to spend the night! We enjoyed buying treats and souvenirs to support the owners as a thank you for the free parking. Beautiful view over Mont S. Michel!
Many heartfelt thanks for letting us spend the night here and even walk to Mont-Saint-Michel. We wanted to pay something for the overnight stay, but buying something in the shop was enough for them.
Almost at the foot of Mont-Saint-Michel, Tim and Isabelle welcomed us very warmly. I reserved a spot for our van in the shop’s parking area by calling a few hours before our arrival. They sell local and homemade products, delicious snacks, and local souvenirs. I highly recommend it; our stay was very pleasant.
Superb welcome, and a place offering a beautiful sunset over the Mont, with the possibility of walking there.
another wonderful experience! There was a sign up saying that the overnight camp was full so I asked and the sign was up in error. We had a wonderful quiet night with friendly neighbours. We were happy use the money saved on parking fees to grab local products for ourselves and gifts. the owner was fantastic, so friendly and positive. she offered lots of local suggestions to eat. great MSM spot
We confirm all the complimentary reviews already posted. You will sleep peacefully facing Mont-Saint-Michel, which is best visited, if possible, at dusk.
Fantastic place for visiting Mont-Saint-Michel. You can leave the motorhome in the shop’s parking area for free and sleep there. The site is reachable in about half an hour on foot, or in 10 minutes you can reach the shuttle departure point. The lady who runs it is very kind and the products for sale are good. Highly recommended.
Good pitch in an ideal location. The free shuttle bus to Mont-Saint-Michel runs from the visitor car park, within walking distance, until 11 p.m. Very nice shop owners. We were allowed to stay overnight and took a delicious packed lunch with us. We visited Mont-Saint-Michel during the day and in the evening; the evening was especially beautiful because there were far fewer visitors.
Wonderful place; the owner is genuinely kind. There are well over three parking spaces, and even when it is full, she does what is needed so people can stay. It really feels good to meet such pleasant people! Very well located and convenient for visiting Mont-Saint-Michel. The products are excellent; this place is truly worth a visit. I recommend it 100%!
Very nice owner and parking area for visiting Mont-Saint-Michel. We also spent the night because we had to continue our journey, and the owner even offered it herself, without asking for money. Be sure to buy something!
Wonderful, adorable and welcoming. They found us a place even though it was full. You will also find good products, much cheaper than at Mont-Saint-Michel. Thank you; do not change a thing, Francine and Alain.
A warm welcome, always with a smile. Delicious products at reasonable prices, without excess. A very pleasant view of Mont-Saint-Michel when waking up. The free shuttles to Mont-Saint-Michel are 10–15 minutes away. Thank you for the welcome. I highly recommend it.
Walking without the little train, which does not allow dogs, takes just under an hour to reach the island. The owner is incredibly warm-hearted. Do not miss sampling her products. There is a toilet with cold water. There were ten parties staying that evening.
A very nice place with very friendly people; we slept there for two nights with a beautiful view.
Great place with a wonderful view of Mont-Saint-Michel. The place is free and the owners are very friendly! A visit to their shop with regional products is the absolute minimum. I highly recommend this place.
Regional shop. We arrived after closing; we only had to remove a rope to enter. Already six vans there, free, with a direct view of the Mont. An amazing night with sunset and sunrise. I recommend it. There is also a very nice biscuit shop nearby, full of cakes, where you can also park overnight.
Perfect. Close to the Mont. Perfect view. Quiet. Owner and her daughter are extremely kind. Products are cheaper than on the Mont. Thank you to them.
Really a superb place! Excellent welcome, perfect spot with a magnificent view of Mont-Saint-Michel. You can leave the van during the day while walking around Mont-Saint-Michel, then return for a peaceful evening and night, without reservation and with a purchase from the shop—which is only fair! Highly recommended.
The shopkeeper selling local products kindly allowed us to stay for one night; it was extremely peaceful. Five camper spaces in total. Buy something in the shop as a thank-you.
Warm welcome from the lady at the regional-products shop. There is no obligation, but in my personal opinion, buying something is the least one can do. Exceptional spot facing Mont-Saint-Michel. Ideal place to settle down and rest after a good walk.
Extraordinary view, courtesy and willingness to accommodate parking requests, and top-quality products. Congratulations!
