Parc Val d'Albion, Coastal campground in Criel-sur-Mer, France.
Parc Val d'Albion is a coastal campsite in Normandy with a total of 48 pitches laid out across grassy grounds. Of these pitches, 23 are equipped with electrical hookups to supply power to tents and caravans.
The campsite was established in the mid-to-late 20th century as part of tourism growth in the Seine-Maritime region. Its creation helped make the coastal communities and rural areas of Normandy more accessible to travelers.
The site serves as a gathering place where visitors can experience everyday coastal and rural life in Normandy, with easy access to local farms and village markets nearby. People use the grounds as a base to explore the surrounding countryside and small harbor communities.
The grounds have some shaded areas that offer shelter on warmer days, while the site overall remains open and easy to navigate. Visitors should expect grassy terrain and wear suitable footwear to walk around the area.
The campsite sits directly next to Le Mesnil-Val beach, allowing guests to swim in the morning and return for lunch within minutes. The proximity to the water combined with shade coverage across the grounds creates an unusual mix for a coastal campsite, where such conditions are rarely found together.
