  • Peaceful site in the grounds of a working farm 3km from Bailleul
  • 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...

What customers say

This friendly farm campsite offers spacious, private pitches with clean, modern facilities. Guests praise the excellent on-site farm shop, which stocks local produce, and the warm welcome from staff. Its peaceful rural location is ideal for exploring the local area, including Ypres and WW1 sites, and is conveniently located for ferry ports. Some minor issues were noted regarding pitch conditions in wet weather and the unisex nature of some facilities.

Daniel L.

Electric optional grass and earth motorhome pitch

Liked Very friendly welcome with great check-in hours. Given tour of campsite on buggy. Clean and good facilities. Very reasonable price.

Disliked Needing to take toilet paper from expensive dispenser into cubicle. It's ok when you know, but this caught out an unobservant child.

Electric optional grass and earth motorhome pitch

Liked Stayed September. Quiet site even though close to a road. Toilets, showers, washing all clean. Toilets had seats which is unusual for France. Choice of pitches, some with hedges (just growing) the larger pitches are grass but really good. As it was raining when we arrived we opted for hard standing/ gravel pitch for two nights but all pitches looks good. The staff were very pleasant and the farm shop with various food and gifts. It was Sunday when we walked into town, not expecting anything to be open but a couple of bars were and was able to get a drink.
I loved the friendly farm dog who loves playing football and bringing pieces of wood to play with him

Sam M.

Electric optional grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Such a nice campsite for the price. The location is great, with on-site farm shop and was close enough to drive into Ypres for dinner in the evening. Lovely to wander around and see the farm animals and there are enough pitches to choose from that you wont be disturbed by them in the morning if you don’t want to be! We liked it so much we stayed on the way back to Calais too.

The facilities were modern, spotless and had toilet paper and hand soap which was nice. The tent pitches were very spacious and the ones we chose were both nicely sheltered. The owner was lovely and very helpful.

Disliked The WiFi worked sometimes but was a bit patchy. It was a little dark getting to the wash rooms in the evening but they’re easy to find. An additional toilet and washing up stall on the other side of the site helps too.

Definitely on the list for future trips, 10/10.

Christine S.

Electric optional grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Friendly welcome, shown around site on a golf buggy which makes everyone smile. Pitches large, separated mostly by hedges for some privacy. Shower/toilet facilities excellent & modern. Lovely to have constant hot water. Large salle/camping kitchen, well-equipped and comfortable, ideal for cycle-& motorcycle campers. Huge farm shop with fresh produce and special treats. Ideal location for visiting Ypres etc. and for Dunkirk ferry, and Bailleul is a lovely town.

Disliked Absolutely nothing to dislike.

Electric optional grass and earth motorhome pitch

Liked Very relaxed, we arrived late, called the number of reception and were able to choose our own pitch. Lovely shop. Excellent clean facilities. Lovely staff. Peaceful and quiet. Befriended by the farm dog for stick throwing and treats.
Baguettes for next day need to be pre-booked in the shop, which is closed on Tuesdays for market day, ham, cheese fresh fruit and veg all available, plus enormous sausages.
A great location for visiting Ypres and other WWI historical sites.

Disliked Nothing.

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.
