Me gustó: Very sheltered with pitches divided by hedges. Friendly staff, the pitch up booking worked perfectly and we were made to feel welcome. The showers were nice and warm

No me gustó: No plugs in washing up sink and water here not very warm. Remember to take your own toilet paper as there isn’t any!

Me gustó: Staff were really lovely and pitches were a good size. only a 10 minute walk into Albert as well. We only stayed 1 night to break up the journey back to England from Germany so the location was great.

No me gustó: some of the toilet lights did not work and the tap in the handwashing sink was broken so we had to wash our hands in the washing up sinks outside.

Me gustó: Pitch size was nice and big. Clean shower block. Close to town

No me gustó: On our 2nd day staying at the campsite, we retuned early afternoon to our motorhome and it was lovely and peaceful….then at around 4pm a load of cars arrived with lots of dogs in them. As they were setting up camp, the dogs continually barked and barked. The owners didn’t seem bothered by this and this barking carried on for at least 2/3 hours. It sounded like we were at a dog kennels (so loud) and at times the dogs were attacking each other too. It was horrendous!!!! By now the other campers on site were all gathered together, complaining about all the noise. I decided to go and speak to the manager on site. I was a little taken back her her attitude she told me that I already knew about the dogs arriving that day? which I didn’t! No one told us anything. Apparently there was a dog race the following day and there was 200 dogs taking part with a lot of them arriving that evening/morning. Her words were to me, I cannot go and tell the dog owners to shut the dogs up, as a lot moreother dogs were going to arrive later and make even more noise. She told me my only option was to leave the site and go and stay at another site 20kms away which she could organise for us. My wife and I decided to stay that night using earplugs to sleep overnight then we got up at 6 am and left the site soon after as we knew the dog race started at 8 am. I really felt sorry for the other campers who had to stay for another night or two listening to the dogs barking continuously. Also the toilets had no seats (normal for France) no toilet paper (not normal for France) and no soap either.

Me gustó: Very nice site, good size pitches. Good spot 10 minute walk from town centre and close to the WW1 cemeteries . Friendly helpful staff. There is wifi but I did not use it. Would definatly stay again if in the area.

No me gustó: Keep in mind unisex showers and toilets. It did not bother me but some people might have an issue with this. There was only one small fridge with a very small compartment for freezing ice blocks.

Me gustó: Site is located within walking distance of the town of Albert. The site had a number of grassed pitches well spaced out and slightly sloping, when we arrived it had been raining and our pitch was a little damp but still ok. Usual mixed shower and toilet block which was clean each time we used it, plenty of hot water. A little odd to see toilets without seats or toilet rolls so not so comfortable to use. Pot washing and clothes washing sinks available but you will need you own plugs. Left out of the site and you have an area for a nice walk which can get you into town near the train station takes about 20 minutes turn right and it's 10 minutes to the centre of town, good selection of of places to eat and also a number of bakeries. Ideal for the Somme, good museum and monuments to the fallen nearby.
