Excellent Spot for a stop near Calais

Stayed here several times now and the staff are always pleasant and extremely helpful. Restaurant is very good and, as usual in France, you can take your dog with you. Facilities are all spotless and I have never experienced an issued with missing toilet seats. Also I have never needed the two pin adaptor on this site. If you want an early start heading South after a good nights rest on the other site of the channel then this is the perfect spot with easy access to the A26.

A lovely spot and perfect for Calais crossing

Staff are extremely helpful and obliging - when dealing with late arrivals for instance. Restaurant good. Very peaceful. Don't understand other reviews about 3-pin to 2-pin hook-up, or lack of toilet seats, as we had no such issues, but do remember to take a sink plug for the washing-up area!

Easy, pleasant and convenient

Can't give a detailed review as only stayed for one night for a ferry departure the next morning. It was all very easy and efficient and facilities were clean with separate Ladies and Gents areas. We were told by other campers that the restaurant was good. Dog walking was convenient. Bit of advice - you will need a three pin to two pin adaptor for the electric hook up. We would use this site again and would recommend.

First Visit

We stayed here for three nights on our way home via Dunkirk. It's a lovely peaceful site with fast and easy connections to the Channel Ports. Facilities are clean and well maintained although there are no seats to the toilets (not unusual on some French sites). The V1 and V2 launch site at the blockhouse nearby is well worth a visit. In the past we have stayed on sites either in Calais or Dunkirk but will definitely stay here in future.

Good overnight stay

We have used this campsite as an overnight stay on our outward/return journey for several years. It's location is ideal for motorways. Now that a supermarket and petrol station has opened nearby, it is ideal for stocking up for onward/return journey. The pitches where the British tend to be allocated, are usually big enough to have caravan hitched for an early departure if needed. The facilities are good with a good restaurant, bar and pools.

More than an overnight stop

I have stopped here a number of times on return from European destinations. Very clean and well cared forl, friendly service from familiar faces with good pitches and a nice campsite bar and restaurant. Although I only stop overnight this is is also an ideal location for a longer stop with easy access to roads and neighboring towns and attractions plus the benefit of an onsite pool in season

Homeward bound

Stayed 1 night enroute to Calais. Have stayed here before and know it is an excellent site. Huge pitches - even possible to leave car hitched to caravan if you have a very early start to the ferry. About 40 mins to Calais to be safe. Very friendly and excellent toilet blocks. Lots of wild life - rabbits, birds, squirrels. Restaurant - we got in this time as we pre booked - but was a bit disappointing. Could go a bit up market. And there is the Blockhouse next door which we will definitely visit next time.

The annual start of our tour de France

We have begun or summer trip to Europe at this site for the last three years. It is an excellent location, 30 minutes from the port of Calais, a Leclerc supermarket 5 minutes away and the town of St Omer, maybe 15 minutes away, makes for a lovely half day with moules frites for lunch. The site has a great pool, playground and bouncy castle, but it feels like a family site, nothing commercial about it at all. Also tennis court, table tennis, indoor games barn, restaurant / bar - and still not at all commercial, a lovely atmosphere pervades always. Great for young children on bikes too, with a small woodland area to explore. One shower block is excellent, newer than its counterpart, which is also very good. Very helpful staff, I always enjoy an easy mix of French and English, either is welcomed comfortably. I can't rate this site highly enough as a stop over for the ports. It would also make for a great three days or so checking out the opal coast and world wars sites of interest. Thank you, Gandspette, we will always return!

Great stopover

We only stayed 1 night on the way back to the ferry, very handy for that, though a bit off the track. Receptionist very helpful and friendly, so were restaurant staff (food was good, not great, but not expensive and nice not to have to cook. Plus very nice that it was still open in Sept). Wifi was too pricey so we skipped that. Lovely setting and grounds, nice woods to walk dogs in. Also a good grocery store a short drive away (not walkable because no pavement along the busy road).
