Camping du Vivier aux Carpes, 4 Rue Charles Voyeux, Seraucourt le Grand, 02790, France
View on map
Located close to the town of Saint-Quentin and pretty village of Seraucourt-le-Grand, this small, tranquil site is convenient for stopovers and short stays. Pitches are mainly level and grass, with some gravel options for motorhomes, and are laid out around the fishing ponds, which are unfenced and kept stocked. A relaxing site with limited amenities for children, the English-speaking staff are welcoming and work hard to provide a peaceful, friendly environment for guests.
The flat countryside makes it ideal for walking and cycling, and visitors can enjoy a wander through the streets of Saint-Quentin, with its Gothic, Neo-Classical and Art Deco buildings. There are also First World War cemeteries and battlefields to be explored nearby.

Stayed here for four nights on our way back to Calais. Very warm welcome from the owner. Our pitch was a decent size and backed on to one of the smaller lakes. It was a little overgrown in places, but this was not a problem. The covered pool was smallish... Show more

Good sized pitches all with electric. Good quality, clean sanitary facilities, toilets have seats and paper in the... Show more

This is a lovely little site, set around some fishing lakes. We stayed for two nights at the end of June as we were heading home after a 3-week trip. We had a very warm welcome from the owner who was friendly and enthusiastic. There’s a small... Show more

... is the literal translation of the caravan site name! Says it all - lower part of site surrounds an attractive large pond/small lake and attracts mostly fishing folk. And us - non-fisherfolk. Main reception building and washrooms are close to the site entrance, which means it's a long way... Show more

We stayed here at the start and end of a campervan trip around France, in June 2019. And....we loved it. It has a good range of reasonably sized pitches with 'privacy hedging' to most, and some of the cleanest/best toilet and shower facilities we've so far encountered. It's a pretty village with a...
