Camping Seasonova Étretat

Budget

A well-equipped campsite on the edge of Étretat with mobile homes, glamping tents, and camping pitches. Within walking distance of the famous cliffs. Swimming pool on site. Excellent budget option for exploring the Alabaster Coast by car.

Camping Seasonova Étretat is a three-star campsite at 69 Rue Guy de Maupassant in Étretat, one of the most dramatically situated campsites on the Normandy Alabaster Coast. The property is named after the street on which it sits — honouring the Norman writer Guy de Maupassant, who was born near Étretat and set several short stories in the surrounding landscape. The campsite is within walking distance of Étretat's world-famous chalk cliff formations: the Falaise d'Aval with its natural arch and the detached needle of the Aiguille, the Falaise d'Amont on the opposing headland, and the newer Falaise de Manneporte to the west. These cliffs, made internationally famous by Monet's series of paintings and later by the novels of Maurice Leblanc featuring Arsène Lupin, draw hundreds of thousands of visitors each year and are among the most photographed landscapes in France. The campsite caters to a range of accommodation preferences, offering individual pitches for tents, caravans, and campervans, fully equipped mobile homes with private bedrooms and kitchens, and glamping tent options for those seeking a compromise between camping comfort and outdoor immersion. A heated swimming pool is a significant amenity during the summer season, particularly for families with children. A bar and a small grocery shop are available on site for daily supplies and refreshments. A children's playground and laundry facilities round out the amenities. Wi-Fi is available across the site. Étretat village, with its seafood restaurants, creperies, market stalls, and cliff-walk trailheads, is within comfortable walking distance. The beach, a strip of grey flint pebbles typical of the Norman Alabaster Coast, is accessible from the town and offers swimming in calm conditions. The D-Day beaches in Calvados are roughly 90 kilometres by car via the A29 and A13 motorways, making the campsite a practicable base for combined Alabaster Coast and D-Day touring itineraries.
