  • 20 minutes' drive from Ypres and In Flanders Fields Museum
  • Farm shop on site with an wide range of homegrown and local produce
If you want a full flavour of French cuisine (oui), you'll find it here in French Flanders. The shop at Camping de la Ferme des Saules, in the grounds of a working farm in the Flanders mountains, is piled with all sorts of fruit and veg fresh from the fields for you to sample, as well as a range of tiptop produce from other local suppliers including fresh meat, pâtés, cheese, eggs, sweets and homemade Flemish waffles. Pick up some local fruit juices and beers to wash it all down and you’ve got everything you need for quite the French feast. Ferme des Saules is a family-friendly site, half a kilometre from the Belgian border and 20 minutes' drive from Ypres. Guests are welcome to wander the farm during opening hours to meet the chickens, goats and pony, or you could work your appetite up further with a pre-dinner game of pétanque while the kids bounce around the playground or trampoline. Spacious grass pitches are within easy reach of a smart modern toilet block that houses toilets, showers, a kids’ bathroom and an accessible bathroom. There’s also free wifi access around the site. Ferme des Saules is a few kilometres from Bailleul for yet more foodie options at its restaurants, bistros, bars and speciality shops: you can reach town within a five-minute drive, a 15-minute cycle or a 45-minute walk, depending on how many calories you need to work off...

Electric optional grass and earth motorhome pitch

Liked Chilled and private pitch, the whole of the site is very well cared for with friendly, helpful and generally very lovely proprietress and staff plus the most gorgeous collie dog! All facilities are clean and plentiful- been here several times now and never had to queue, great communal area with fridge for and microwave. Good wi-fi. The site shop is comprehensive plus will accept orders for eggs (laid on site by their healthy and happy hens), baguettes etc. Green aware and encouraged, absolutely fabulous site, thank you for your hospitality.

Electric optional grass and earth motorhome pitch

Liked Check in was brilliant. Got a full site tour from the rear of a buggy. Allowed to pick our own spot. Shower-lots of hot water, and toilets clean.

Disliked Wish I'd known prior to going to the toilet that I needed to take my own toilet paper. Also when washing up remember your own plug.

Electric optional grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked I liked the fresh fruit/veg shop as you come into the check in desk you are met by a lovely lady who will show you around the site on a golf cart.
I got to pick which pitch I wanted which was nice.
Very friendly and kind ladies that are running the place.
You are offered fresh food, bread, milk, egg, strawberry which is a nice touch.

Disliked Could do with a door on the urinals as people walking past can see you using them

Local attractions

At Bailleul, start in the flower-filled Grand’Place, dominated by the 62-metre belfry tower of the town hall, designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Climb to the top for spectacular views towards the mountains and to get up close to the 35-bell carillon. Around the corner from the square is the Museum of Benoit-De-Puydt, a converted private house where you can learn a bit about the town’s role during the war and visit the exhibition of Flemish art. Also worth a visit is the Country Life Museum in Steenwerck, a 15-minute drive from the site and set up to recreate a Flemish village in 1900. The major Belgian point of interest close by is Ypres, 20 minutes' drive from the site, where you can tour the battlefields, visit the war cemeteries and learn more about the area's historical significance at the In Flanders Fields Museum.
