What customers say
Château du Gandspette is an excellent, well-maintained site praised for its spacious pitches, clean facilities, and friendly staff, particularly Julien. Guests highlight the convenient location for ferry crossings, the lovely swimming pools, and plentiful activities for children, including a bouncy castle. The on-site restaurant and takeaway are generally well-regarded, and bakery items are a popular morning purchase. Some minor points include pitches sometimes being on a slope and occasional reports of WiFi issues. Despite minor drawbacks, most guests express a desire to return.

The best site we know near Calais
Electric optional hardstanding motorhome pitch
Liked This was our third stay at this site. Excellent facilities and a great restaurant (which was thankfully still open and managed to find space for us despite having a large party in). Great location close to the Calais Ferry. The local Blockhaus is worth a visit and there is a large supermarket and a bakery within walking distance. We even liked Basil Fawlty on reception - who allowed us to change pitch as we were worried about heavy rain bogging us in!
Disliked Pitches are not very flat so needed levelling blocks.
