  • Peaceful Picardy campsite 10 minutes’ drive from Le Crotoy beach
  • Five minutes’ drive from medieval Rue; Park Marquenterre 15 minutes
  • Swimming pool, sports courts and fishing pond; summer entertainment
Chasing a beach holiday combined with a helping of history and culture? You may well hit the jackpot with a stay at Camping des Oiseaux, 10 minutes’ drive from Le Crotoy beach on Picardy’s Baie de Somme coastline, and five minutes from the medieval town of Rue, with its landmark belfry, chapels and museum. Shaded by pine trees, the site is family run, welcoming and peaceful, with spacious, neatly landscaped pitches lined with hedges for extra privacy. Head out sightseeing, or simply stay put on site and entertain yourselves there. After all, there’s certainly plenty going on. The heated indoor swimming pool opens from April to November, or you can head for the multisports ground to have a run around or kick about with a ball. Play competitive games of pétanque on one of five courts, or retreat to the fishing lake for a quiet hour or so casting for carp or zander. Keep an eye on the kids as they make a beeline for the bouncy castle (high season only) and playground, or take them to meet the friendly ponies (trekking is also available). Still looking for more activities? Play table tennis, billiards or have a game of darts… If that’s not enough, summer evenings see organised entertainment, dance nights and themed dinners for all the family in the restaurant-bar.

Electric optional grass motorhome pitch

Liked: The peaceful location and private pitch surrounded by hedges. Very friendly and helpful owners and good facilities. The site was quiet due to the time of year and we were able to choose our pitch. We had EHU and water on our large pitch which was great. Lovely very hot water at the wash up area. Although we used our own facilities the showers looked perfectly ok and very clean. There is a lovely, large heated swimming pool. Wi-Fi is available at a cost (10 mins free initially) There is a Lidl very nearby. Le Crotoy is very close and very beautiful, and Saint- Valerie Sur Somme is stunning but be aware that access for motorhomes isn’t easy and better to park just outside. Perfect for cyclists (which sadly we aren’t)

Disliked: Nothing to dislike

Electric optional grass tent, touring caravan or trailer tent pitch

Liked: The pool

Disliked: The NOISE. A party/disco started up at 9.30pm (on a Monday night) at a ridiculous volume, accompanied by screaming along with the music. Not singing, screaming at the top of their lungs. This went on until nearly midnight. Also lack of sinks near toilets with soap available. Or hot water from the washing up sinks. Site says complaints need to be made in person at time, but there was nobody on site. And when we left in the morning there still weren't any managers around. We came with a 1 year old, it simply wasn't fair.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Dear madam, I am sorry you were bothered by the noise. There was music for 2 hours , and it was stopped at 11.40 pm. The campsite is mostly very quiet but some people want also to have fun during their summer vacation and , we organise 2 parties per week in July and August but the music is always stopped before midnight.

Local attractions

For a day on the beach, Fort-Mahon-Plage (15 minutes’ drive) attracts active families keen to try sand yachting or dinghy sailing, while younger kids can go beachcombing and make sandcastles at Plage de Quend (20 minutes), or play hide and seek in the dunes. If you’ve spent time chilling on Le Crotoy beach (10 minutes), wind up your day by ordering moules-frites and Picardy cider at one of the seafront restaurants. Take binoculars to Park Marquenterre (15 minutes) to see thousands of wading birds (plus wild horses) amid the marsh, dune and forest landscapes, or follow the waymarked Dune Walk of Authie (15 minutes), keeping your eyes open for wild deer, herons and toads on the way. Turning inland, the 15th-century UNESCO-listed belfry in Rue (five minutes) is open for guided tours and has views to the Baie de Somme from its parapet. For other landmarks in this pretty half-timbered town, follow the marked trail to the Holy Spirit and Hospice chapels, or pay a call to the World War I planes in the Musée des Frères Caudron.
