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)...

Liked Wij werden heel vriendelijk ontvangen en kregen meteen een duidelijke uitleg over waar alles zich bevond. De staanplaatsen zijn super leuk en bieden voldoende privacy. Ook de sanitaire voorzieningen waren heel netjes: propere toiletten en fijne douches met lekker warm water. Kortom, een heel aangename ervaring! 🌿✨

Disliked Enkel wat minder was dat je 100 euro borg moet betalen voor de badge om met de wagen naar buiten te kunnen.

Liked Peaceful and close to beautiful beach

Disliked Very run down, pitches with scrap on them. Couldn't get electric even tho we paid for it, due to no space (other than next to scrap caravan 8 foot gap) no way of fastening awning down due to sandy pitches.
Food was nice, but it's not a restaurant, it's a burger van. Chap on the bar very friendly as was receptionist. This place has great potential, it's close to a beautiful beach and 15 min walk to the town. It's ideal for a stop over, but it's quite eery due to being on your own. Lots of police presence too whilst we were here, on the site and in the dunes. Showers worked well, toilet near to pitch. No WiFi but we didn't need any anyway. And no bins or toilet emptying facilities so you'd struggle for more than a few days. Close to euro tunnel for heading home.

Liked Absolutely nothing. Booked for 2 nights, left after 1 night.

Disliked Arrived at 5:30 to find the reception closed. Opening hours advertised open till 6pm. Eventually we found a very abrupt young lady who opened up and confirmed our booking. We were to choose our own pitch. After attempting a few, we finally found one that wasn’t soft sand. We had a go at hooking up to a number of electric points and eventually found one that worked intermittently. There was no one around by now to advise that there was an issue with the electric. In the morning we advised the reception who stated “it worked before” then dismissed us. We had pay extra for showers, which only had cold water. The shower block was very grubby. The site looks derelict. In the morning we decided to leave. You have to pay 100 euro deposit for the gate fob. When returning the fob we mentioned that we were leaving, only thing abrupt person said “you won’t get a refund” wasn’t interested in refund, just had to get out of that dreadful place. We have been touring France for 5 weeks and have never came across such a place. Would definitely not recommend.

I left my phone in the office. When I realised shortly afterwards, I went to the caravan where the girl was and she said I hadn’t. My partners phone was showing it was definitely in or around the office. He went to the caravan and she stormed passed us, opened the door and put it in his hand then stormed off.
