  • Peaceful family-run site within easy reach of Saint-Omer
  • Two kilometres from the huge 1,200-hectare forest of Clairmarais
  • Huge private plots plus playground surrounded by big grassy area
Since taking over in June 2014, owners Julie and Nicolas have been cultivating a friendly familial vibe at Camping Le Bloemstraete, in Renescure, halfway between Hazebrouck and St Omer, and within easy reach of Lille and Calais. Set across two hectares, plots are huge, grassy and surrounded by big hedges to keep things private yet nicely neighbourly. There's a playground surrounded by a large grassy area to kick a ball around in before sitting down to lunch at one of the picnic benches; a pétanque pitch is on site too. For barbecue food shopping you can head into the centre of the village where there's a supermarket and a butcher, and then pick up your croissants, pain au chocolat and a baguette or two at the local bakery. For when you feel you've had enough of toiling over hot charcoals, try out the village's gastro restaurant or brasserie and finish off with a few vin rouge at one of the local bars. If you fancy an off-site adventure, ask Julie and Nicolas how to get to their favourite trails and nature spots and they'll give you plenty of information about where you can go from the site on hikes and bike rides around the area.

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked: Electric and water within pitch but bring your two pin adapter for the ehu. Although the proprietor did offer to lend up one. Bread delivery to your pitch by 8am very nice. Facilities very clean and modern but no hand towels/dryer. Friendly welcome. Would use again.

Disliked: Lack of hand drying in toilets. Showers not particularly powerful but adequate.

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked: We have a great stay at Camping le Bloemstraete. A very warm welcome on arrival, large pitches all separated by hedges. The site is well kept without being over manicured. The toilet block is in good working order, and really clean. Please note this site is still on two pin electric huck up for electric. The site owner was very happy to lone us an adapter, which was very kind. Good bakery just 15 minutes walk. Will definatley keep on our list to use again.

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked: Lovely little site. Nice location in a very peaceful rural setting, but close to larger towns and its facilities. Welcoming hosts, very friendly and helpful. On site bathrooms were clean and more than adequate. Would stay again for sure.

Disliked: At a push, I’d say poor power of the water in the shower, but it certainly wasn’t a big issue.

Convenient site for Calais, good clean facilities, very helpful staff.

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked: Good sized pitch, lovely welcome from the campsite owner who organized a croissant delivery for us the next morning. The site was well laid out and clean. We drove here after arriving in Calais on le shuttle, it was approximately a 45 minute drive from Calais which made it situated in a very convenient location ( not too near to Calais and not too far from Calais)

Disliked: There were some large family groups camped near to us and their children were cycling past our pitch all evening whilst the adults were chatting it was all just good fun but didn't make for a peaceful evening for us after our long journey through the UK onto France. My shower in the morning was cold and wouldn't warm up. However my partner said his shower was good and warm.

Local attractions

The huge 1,200-hectare forest of Clairmarais lies less than two kilometres away from Camping Le Bloemstraete, for scenic hikes and bike rides among its old oak trees while you keep a beady eye out for owls and grey herons. You can also trek around a trail that winds past the pond of Harchelles (built by monks) to the pilgrimage site of the Clairmarais grotto, which lies among the woodland. Then, climb aboard a bacôve (flat-bottomed marsh boat through the maze of waterways that make up the UNESCO-listed Audomarois marsh, set around the historic cultural centre of Saint-Omer. Also around this area is the Platier d'Oye nature reserve, the first feeding area for migrants birds en route to their winter homes and so an excellent spot for birdwatchers. Other good sightseeing options in the area include the World War II bunker complex of La Coupole, and the historic town of Cassel with fab historical spots such as an 18th-century hilltop wooden windmill, the cobblestoned Grand'Place, a Flemish Gothic-style church, a museum and lots of photogenic 16th-century Flemish buildings.
