  • 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

A very clean and well-maintained campsite with spacious pitches, many offering privacy. The on-site farm shop is a highlight, praised for its fresh, local produce. Facilities, including showers and toilets, are consistently described as modern, clean, and excellent. Staff are frequently noted as friendly, helpful, and welcoming. Its location is ideal for exploring local historical sites and is convenient for travel to and from ferry ports. Some minor issues like occasional noise and a need for more frequent cleaning in certain areas were mentioned, but overall, guests highly recommend and would return.

Electric optional grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked First for us a whizz around the site on a buggy to choose our pitch. Really good sized pitches and ours had a lovely view of the countryside. Excellent fresh produce in farm shop. Hut near our pitch for washing up and toilet so didn't need to go back to the shower block.

Disliked Maybe toilet paper could have been replenished more frequently

Electric optional grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Great location for visiting the local area which is beautiful. Lovely cycling from the doorstep into the surrounding French region and into West Flanders. Facilities were great and well maintained. The staff were really approachable and helpful. Huge range of food and drink in the shop - you could easily get away without visiting the supermarket and fresh baked goods can be ordered for the following day. Great eating out options on the doorstep.

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.
