Guest Comments
“Thank you for a great stay at Normandy Farms. I was really intrigued by your informative website so booked to stay with you. We are from the UK and it was our 1st experience camping in the US. The facilities were so clean and immaculate. The weather was poor so we used your indoor pool and spa, which were lovely. We were made most welcome by Valerie on reception. She was so friendly and helpful. This was our 1st site for the week and definitely the best in standards and value. Thanks so much!” Jenny and Phil Williams Wales, UK
