Normandy Campsite

I'm looking for a family friendly campsite in Normandy which has a pool and is near the beach.
Any recommendations?

I'm a big advocate of Les Castels campsites. Any of these tick the box?

And was very nice, flat pitches, nice pool/bar/restaurant. Less than 5 mins off the main DC from Bayeaux.

It's fabulous and we are staying for a few days on our way back home from eastern France. They have nice musical evenings and other cultural activities.

Thanks for all the advice and suggestions. Having left it until the last minute there wasn't much available for the dates we wanted. We have booked Camping Port'land near Port-en-Bessin and are going Dover-Calais as the Portsmouth and Poole ferries were bloody expensive.

The next question I have is where is the best place to park in Bayeux as I have only been there in a coach. I believe there is free parking available, if so, where?

Thanks in advance.

Massive carpark to the west of the Cathedral but its Paying..... Parking is free at the D-day museum and the town center is a 15 min walk.
