Liked Great location walking to town and the beach, lots of pitch options and clean facilities.

Disliked Pitches were a bit run down but there were plenty to pick from. Very strict on arrival times.

Liked Great campsite some lovely walks around the area friendly atmosphere and great staff

Disliked Water pressure low and have to hold the button while showering

Recommend to friends Visit again

Liked Proximity to the beautiful beach. Nice town with nice cafes and amazing boulangerie

Disliked The camper van section is not great. Pitches are littered with bits of wood and paving stones where I assume people have tried to stabilize themselves in the sand. Sandy pictures which are fine if that's what you want and don't mind sand.

The electric points aren't close to the pitches... I had to borrow two extensions to hook up, which had to go across the track.

There is no water hookup tap so the only way of getting water is from the shower block... No good if you've got a tank in your van or motorhome.

The young man who checked me in and helped me was pleasant but there were two female receptions staff who I found quite abrupt and not approachable.

Liked Mooie camper plaats. Jammer genoeg in los zand waardoor we vast kwamen te zitten

Disliked Het sanitair is aan vernieuwing toe. Alles behalve hygiënisch

From the manager: Beste,

Bedankt voor uw feedback.

We zijn blij dat u de camperplaats heeft gewaardeerd. We begrijpen echter dat het losse zand voor ongemak heeft gezorgd en nemen dit mee in onze verbeteringen.

Wat betreft het sanitair: het campingterrein is momenteel in renovatie, en de sanitaire voorzieningen maken hier ook deel van uit. Uw opmerkingen over hygiëne zijn goed ontvangen en doorgegeven aan ons team.

We hopen u in de toekomst opnieuw te mogen verwelkomen onder betere omstandigheden.

Met vriendelijke groeten,
Team Camping Cristal d’Opale

Liked Unfortunately not a lot to like except helpful staff

Disliked Sandy pitches, weeds and un kept including dog poo! Rubbish left/debris and some pitches too far from EHU. Showers and toilets dated however clean.
Only Ok for a quick stop over.

Liked Ce camping sera magnifique quand les travaux seront terminés. Les emplacements libres ne sont pas bien limités c'est dommage. Par contre les sanitaires sont propres et l'eau très chaude. Mais le +++ c'est la proximité de la mer. 15mn à pied

Liked Good location and walkable to get to the town centre. Staff were pleasant.

Disliked Pitch size was good but pitches were very sandy and not level. We needed to dig out in the morning because we did not get out and look at the pitch. The bathroom was not pleasant - unheated at the end of March - with shower water running right across the room in the disabled shower. There was building work going on when we were there and the electricity was off in the morning.

Liked A lovely horse farm with a friendly welcome and good facilities

Disliked Very little. Apparently laundry facilities are available. Needs a chemical waste point for longer stays.

Liked The staff were lovely and helpful - both at the reception and in the restaurant (understandably winding down for the season but still with a decent coffee and fresh breakfast offer).
The site is dog friendly.
Showers and toilets were clean, water was hot, and we had a great space all to ourselves.
Beach bonus - one of the German bunkers is just at the campsite exit.

Disliked I'm not a fan of token-operated showers as there is always a risk of malfunction (and the machine 'eating' the token)...
