One night stopover

Stopped here enroute to Dunkirk from the Provence after a 600 mile journey. The reception staff were very helpful and pleasant with advice on local shops, fuel and the on site restaurant. We used the restaurant and were surprised at the quality of food. One point probably worth making a booking as was busy even late June. The site is well set out great play and swim facilities. The other gem is the morning French bread and pastry sale. We would definitely stop a few days next time to visit nearby Blockhouse and the Dunkirk museum.

Fantastic Site

Fantastic site, we stayed her for the Euro 2016 and the staff are really friendly and helpful. The site is spotless and there is plenty to do for the kids. Watten train station is approx 20 min walk where you can easily get to St Omer (6 mins) Lens (50 mins 1 change) and Lille (60 mins direct). Will defo be staying here again so handy for ferry as well(30 mins)

A bit damp

Beware the access road it is a sharp turn into the site and can easily be missed. the main access road is closed to large caravans due to road works. The site is good and well laid out, toilet/shower block very clean and reasonably spacious.

Lovely stay 5/6 till 12/6/2016

This was our first trip abroad with the caravan so were slightly apprehensive to say the least. We were delighted with our choice. We were there to tour some of the First World War sites and also to Vist Ypres. The site is in a perfect location for touring the site, we lovely St Omer although beware the museums close on a Tuesday in the area so we had to return to finish our trip there which was no hardship as we went in on our last day, the Saturday and the market was on, just fabulous. It had been very wet prior to our arrival so the ground was a bit soggy but we had a nice pitch and for the most of the week we were on our own in our little area, blissfully peaceful. We didn't eat in the restaurant but heard good reviews. We did have a couple of drinks there and it is a nice relaxing place, fire was on and it was very cosy. Pool was lovely. Whole site is spotlessly clean, toilets and showers were lovely and clean. I can't remember the name of the young gent on reception but he was such a nice guy and so helpful, really lovely. Would recommend this site and would definitely stay here again if we were heading this way.

Overnight success

We booked an overnight stay at Camping Chateau de Gandspette for convenience on a Friday evening before traveling further afield on the continent the following morning. For reasons unknown I was expecting a bog standard campsite with few facilities (I booked for convenience and its proximity to the channel ports as we would be arriving late on the Friday evening). What we discovered was an absolute gem of a campsite hidden away in a small, unassuming French town. We were greeted by the reception staff who spoke fluent English and directed to our pitch that was located among the manicured grounds and surrounding woodland. The facilities were second to none and the atmosphere was calm and relaxed. Having arrived earlier than expected we set off to explore and found a great swimming pool, sports facilities and a well stocked bar and restaurant. All of the staff members we encountered were well mannered and polite and more than happy to stop and chat. Our stay was all to brief but I was impressed enough to want to book a longer stay and explore this region of France in more detail. Overall an excellent experience and a wonderful campsite. I shall not be too quick to judge in future!

Wonderful little site

Our first time here and our final stay in France ready for tunnel the following day, although not in full flow yet pool being filled and maintenance being done , you can tell from the place that it's great, staff very friendly and helpful. I asked the receptionist what time the bar opened he replied if you want beer now sir then I will get you one , he then proceeded to pour our drinks and take our booking for evening meal, pretty quiet little site that we will surely stay at every time we venture into europe

Early in the season

Always enjoy this site on the way back from Europe. Only reason not a 5 star on this occasion is because being so early in the season the bar and restaurant were closed. Reinforced grass pitch for motorhome and spotless washrooms makes for a trouble free stopovwe

Late summer holiday

We stayed at Gandspette for 10 nights at the end of September. What a great site, facilities are great and there is so much to do in the area. We visited Lille, St Omer, Wimeraux, Wissant and Ghent as well as local sites. Most people use it as a stopover on route home, so we were in the minority staying for the 10 nights. During the week prior to us arriving they had suffered 3 days of torrential rain, which caused damage to many of the pitches when people had been trying to get off them. I would recommend leveling blocks as many of the pitches slope, however a site worth more than a short stay.

We will certainly use it again

One night stay

We only stayed one night on the way back home, going through the tunnel, so maybe I should not really comment. But I always think that if a campsite is open, the bar and restaurant should be open and it wasn't which was annoying as we were hoping to have a meal there. I know being 28th September was near the end of the season, but the swimming pool looked very unkept as if it had not been cleaned for ages, with grass growing within it's boundaries and the pool looking very green and dirty. Useful I suppose for the tunnel, but I would certainly use La Bienne Assise had it have been open.
