The Mont-Saint-Michel bay offers campsites for every budget: from a municipal site at €15/night to premium glamping at €100. The main advantage: you sleep a few kilometres from France's most visited site, in an exceptional natural environment.
? What are the best campsites in the Mont-Saint-Michel bay?
Huttopia campsite in Pontorson (4★) is the quality-services reference. On the Normandy side, Beauvoir campsite is the closest to the Mont (5km). On the Breton side, Cherrueix and Hirel campsites offer the finest salt marsh views.
Huttopia is fully booked 2 months ahead in July-August. Nature bungalows and lodges go first (from March for July-August). Standard pitches remain available longer. If targeting July-August, book from May — or choose secondary campsites in Courtils and Beauvoir which face less pressure.
