The motorhome area in Villers-Bocage, managed by the Camping-car Park network since late 2024, ranks among the most popular in Normandy, placing 5th out of 36 in customer reviews in 2025. In summer 2026, it regularly filled up, especially on weekends. Tourists highlight its convenient location near the town center, services such as fresh water, waste disposal and toilets, and its position on the route to Mont-Saint-Michel. Some visitors, like a couple from Loire-Atlantique, stay for several days or weeks, appreciating the coolness and welcoming atmosphere of the town.

Patrick Lablanche, 70, president of the French Federation of Camper Associations and Clubs, shared his favorite motorhome stops in France. Among them are stops in Roanne (Loire department) and Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer. Lablanche highlighted affordable prices and convenient locations. He also recommends traveling in spring (April–June) and autumn (late August–October) when stops are less crowded.
