The Camper’s take

Small 16-pitch municipal campsite in Mortain village centre, near waterfalls. Grassy, open-access pitches with electricity available. Large, spotlessly clean sanitary facilities with hot showers, generous hot water. Very quiet, views over ramparts. Excellent base for waterfall hikes. Extremely affordable (€7–15 depending on services). Shops and tourist office within walking distance.
