On our big trip to France, we set up our first camp at Camping Municipal de Cap de l'Homy, a long-time favourite of our dear friends Linda and Fabian. The area blew us away. Endless Atlantic beaches, a landscape you can hardly look away from, and a wooden boardwalk that leads you through the dunes down to the sea. The walk to the beach alone was lovely every single time, and going into the water in a wetsuit even more so.
Two things stayed with us from that week, and neither of them had anything to do with the place. It was one of the first and at the same time one of the last times we set up our new Vango tailgate tent. We sold it again after the holiday, because it simply did not fit our small Caddy well: no matter how tightly we strapped it down, the flapping noises on windy nights were annoying (more on that in our Vango tailgate tent review). And we had the roof box with us. The extra height meant we had to turn around at some height-restricted car parks near the beaches – no drama, but unnecessary. Next time: no roof box (we thought). Keep it minimal (we did not).
The campsite itself was quite full, and of all the pitches we ended up right next to a loud group. So we did not find the quiet we had been looking for. But that was our own personal experience in that one week, and it says little about the area: that one is great all around, and the beach alone makes the trip worth it.
