Good for families

Definitely worth more than just a stop over stay.

A good three and a half hour journey from Calais including a stop. A very rustic French site, well run and located on the banks of the River Ainse with good walks along the river bank directly from the site. A warm friendly welcome on arrival, we were advised there was a large group staying in one area of the site, for the French long bank holiday weekend. They never bothered us all the time we were there. We were allowed to choose our own pitch (52) which was large, unshaded and ideally suited for our requirements. Temperatures whilst we were there never got above 18 degrees. Although we never used them there is a swimming pool and fitness are close to reception. Also small shop and restaurant/ bar which has limited opening hours each evening Only observations was one toilet block (unisex? ladies in gents but my wife never saw any men in the ladies and no loo rolls or hand soap). Always clean, there are only two WC’s in each side, and showers that I would describe as adequate, however, we never had to queue to get one in the mornings, and they were warm. Also small point, hot water for washing up could be described at best as tepid. Ideally located about 2 miles from J14 of the A26 we stayed for three nights and would happily stay longer next time) We Visited Chenin des Dames WW1 battlefields a short distance from the site including along its way Plateau de California and ‘ Cavern de Dragon’ We also ventured into Reims. Croissant’s and bread available from reception (order the previous day) but we chose to go to the local boulangerie less than a ten minute walk from the site. The village of Guigincourt is typically French and has a regional railway station but frequency of trains to Reims made it impractical to use. There is also a Carrefour supermarket which also serves fuel. All in all a great little site, equally good for stopovers or longer stays.
