  • Quiet Pas-de-Calais family site 10 minutes’ drive from Saint-Omer
  • Marais Audomarois 15 minutes’ drive and Dennlys Parc 20 minutes
  • 10 fishing ponds; kids’ club, snack bar and evening entertainment
Relaxation and family are some key words at Camping Les Étangs du Plateau des Landes, tucked into a peaceful and lush lakeside setting in the Pas-de-Calais. Set a 10-minute drive from the handsome, historic market town of Saint-Omer, the site is also close to the untamed Marais Audomarois wetlands. The site is one big playground for the family. Kids can amuse themselves leaping around on bouncy castles, while teens try out inflatable table soccer, shooting basketball hoops or playing ping pong. Everyone can get together over gently competitive pétanque tournaments, while anglers keep busy at the 10 fishing ponds. Fishing requires a whitefish and carp fishing pass, available for an additional fee at the site reception, and there's limited equipment for hire (bringing your own fishing stuff, therefore, comes highly recommended). Thanks to the hard-working entertainment team, there’s always something happening around the place. The kids’ club organises nature trails, games and treasure hunts for your younger offspring during the day, and on summer weekends, there’s an evening schedule of live music, drinking games and themed dinners. All your eating and drinking needs are catered to, too. Order breakfast breads and pastries from reception, and head to the small essentials shop to stock up on wine and local produce. At the licensed snack bar, you're all set to fill the kids up with family favourites like burgers and pizzas; it's open for lunch and dinner every day except Wednesday during the high season, and for dinner on Friday, both meals on Saturday and lunch on Sunday during the low season.

What customers say

This campsite is praised for its friendly and helpful staff, clean and pleasant holiday homes, and beautiful surroundings. It's well-located for stopovers near Calais and offers spacious pitches with water and electricity. Some guests noted that toilet and shower facilities could be improved and are located in the same room. Issues with noise from nearby roads and a high deposit for safari tents were also mentioned. Fishing is a key activity, though some guests experienced confusion regarding fishing rules. A deposit is required for pitch keys.

Electric optional hardstanding and grass pitch (comfort)

Liked Price was very cheap. Nice lake area, it is a fishing campsite! Electricity and fresh water on your pitch/ key you operate both.

Disliked Facilities were very basic. There were 4 rooms each with a toilet , shower and sink in but no dividers at all in the room so everything got soaked. Only hot water from the sink.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hello,

Thank you for your feedback. It’s true that our toilet facilities are still rather basic, and we’ll make sure to improve them for next year.

Please do let reception know next time if there’s no hot water, so that our teams can sort it out quickly.

Kind regards,
The Helfaut team

From the manager: Hello,

A big thank you for your positive feedback about our campsite and our team.

Indeed, we always do our best to adapt and make the most of the resources available to us, in order to ensure that our guests feel comfortable and welcome during their stay.

It is true that our team mainly speaks French, with some English to make communication easier. However, next year we will make sure to also provide information in Italian and German to make our guests’ stays even more convenient.

We are also aware that our sanitary facilities are somewhat old, and we will look into finding a better solution for next year.

Thank you again for your kind feedback and suggestions!

Liked Easy to find site with large pitches, lovely and dark at night.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hello,

Thank you very much for your positive feedback! We are delighted to hear that your stay with us lived up to your expectations.

Indeed, we make sure to offer high-quality pitches for motorhomes, campervans and caravans, with both a grassed area and a gravelled area. Each pitch has its own water tap with a key, an electricity connection, and a grey water drainage system.

Each pitch is also separated by vegetation, providing you with a more private and peaceful space during your stay.

We look forward to welcoming you back to Helfaut!

From the manager: Hello,

Thank you for your feedback.

We are aware that some of our pitches are located close to the playground. However, the playground is only open during reasonable hours to ensure that it does not disturb our guests.

Our pitches are spacious and offer access to water and electricity, as well as a gravelled area. They are set back from the road, allowing you to enjoy a peaceful night’s sleep. They are also conveniently located close to the sanitary facilities and our snack bar and grocery shop, making your stay as comfortable and convenient as possible.

We are aware that our sanitary facilities are somewhat old. However, please be assured that they are clean and cleaned every day by our on-site team.

We will take your feedback into account and look into improving this aspect next year.

Liked Close to Calais. Very good for start and end to and European Stay. Would have been much better if essential item were available or at at least directions to nearest place. We may have missed this do not a critical since we arrived on a Sunday and most importantly places closed.

Disliked Not much thought the toilets/ showers could be maintended better during busy times.

From the manager: Hello,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback about our campsite.

Indeed, in France, most shops are closed on Sundays, although some are open on Sunday mornings. We will make sure to include this information in our English welcome booklet to make our future guests’ stays easier. Thank you for this helpful recommendation!

Regarding the sanitary facilities, we are aware that they are quite old. However, please be assured that our team cleans and maintains them every day. Unfortunately, it is not possible for us to clean them every hour. We also make sure to remind our campers to respect the shared facilities and keep them clean and tidy.

We will nevertheless look into finding a better solution for next year.

Thank you again for your feedback.

Liked A nice welcome and clean pitches. Facilities are of good standard.

Disliked I booked this site specifically for the Carp fishing but was told after fishing for 30min I was not aloud to fish with rod and reel only pole. This is not stated that this site is pole fishing only, I packed up and left to find another site to fish. Be warned! No refund was offered, even after speaking with reception.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hello,

Thank you for your feedback.

It is indeed not permitted to fish with a spinning rod on our Blanc ponds; only coarse fishing is allowed.

We are well aware that the 20-page set of rules can be tedious to read. However, they contain all the internal regulations as well as the specific rules concerning fishing. Unfortunately, on Pitchup, it is not possible to include such a lengthy set of rules. That is why we would ask you to take careful note of the information sent to you by email.

Please be aware, however, that you were under no obligation to leave: the campsite welcomes you whatever happens. My colleagues at reception did not, in fact, understand the reason for your departure.

We remain, of course, at your disposal should you require any further information.

Kind regards,

The campsite team

Disliked De bbq was niet proper en vissen zonder lasee pffff

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Goedendag,

Hartelijk dank voor deze geweldige beoordeling! We kijken ernaar uit u bij een volgend verblijf bij ons weer te mogen verwelkomen.

We hanteren inderdaad vrij strikte regels met betrekking tot het vissen, omdat we helaas enkele gevallen van misbruik hebben geconstateerd. Ons doel is om de tevredenheid van al onze gasten te waarborgen.

Wat de barbecue betreft, zullen we uw opmerking intern doorgeven om de reiniging van deze buitenuitrusting te verbeteren.

Hopelijk tot snel!

Local attractions

A day in the Marais Audomarois (15 minutes’ drive) may be on your sightseeing list. With vast tracts of market gardens and canals still only navigable by water, the best way to explore this manmade marshland is on a flat-bottomed traditional wooden ‘bacôve’ boat. Take your binoculars to search for bitterns, kingfishers and storks in the Romelaëre Nature Reserve (20 minutes), ancient peat bogs now criss-crossed with hiking routes. Add some culture into your holiday mix with a visit to Saint-Omer (10 minutes’ drive), where you can view decorative arts at Hotel Sandelin Museum and admire the jewel-coloured stained-glass windows in the Gothic-era Cathedral of Notre-Dame. Wind up your visit at a pavement café in Place du Maréchal Foch, where there’s a lively market on Saturday mornings. Kids demanding more action? Hit the rollercoasters and waterslides at family-orientated Dennlys Parc (20 minutes), or pedal through Pays de Lumbres woodland along the Trotti-trail (25 minutes) following a former railway line. Hit a rare rainy day? Divert to the indoor pool at SCENEO (10 minutes) to wear off excess energy swimming laps.
