Camping L'Orée des Caps

Liked *Very friendly owners
*Cheap nights stay
*Close to Calais ferry terminal

Disliked *The barrier comes down far to fast when trying to enter with a car and large touring caravan
*Road way round is very tight, cars were parked on every corner, when leaving in the morning we would have been jammed in if some other guests hadn't been packing up and moved their car so we could use their pitch to get round
*Pitch was also tight to get on
*People started a fire around 10pm which made it impossible to keep windows open (rules state no fires)
*The toilets/showers are very old but functional - we didn't take a shower in there

Liked Our own spot with privacy bushes all round. Toilets and hot showers were kept clean all the time and wasn’t a problem to “bring your own” loo paper, this seems to be a problem for some. Fred was very welcoming on our arrival and nothing seemed too much trouble. The site was very well presented for the price and will be a favourite of ours in the future if we are in the area again.
Just one observation if you are bringing a twin axle caravan try to book the pitches on the left as the turning circle is quite tight. This wasn’t a problem for us as we were in a tent.
Everything we wanted to see in the area was only 45 mins to 1 hours drive away.

Liked Close to Calais port
Lovely bar and play area- bar open from 6-8 on an evening- could maybe extended during the summer?
Very nice host who was really helpful
Supermarket nearby- less than a couple of miles which was well stocked. - carrefour contact

Disliked Pitches were a little small especially for our twin axle caravan but we managed. And the owner is improving the pitches to accommodate larger vans.
10mins free for WiFi then there was a charge

Liked The friendliness of the owners and other guests.
So accommodating and a great bar area with great food, which was much needed after a long day travelling and quite a late arrival.
Choosing my pitch was great, and as the site is relatively small, everything is close by.
Good English spoken by the owners was again a massive bonus after a long day and you are very tired and finding it difficult to think!

Disliked Maybe mention at check in that you need to have your own toilet paper. Their is some signage and maybe it was me, but I didn't see it until the morning and reception wasn't open.....fortunately a fellow guest had left some in the toilet and shower block.

Liked De ligging van de camping bevind zich in een prachtig wandel / fiets gebied, helemaal top
De camping eigenaar doet er alles aan om het iedereen naar z'n zin te maken
We hadden begrepen dat deze mensen nog niet zo lang de nieuwe eigenaren zijn
Je kan zien dat er al verbeteringen plaats vinden

Disliked Het toilet gebouw verdient wel een aandacht punt, dat heeft echt wel z'n beste tijd wel gehad en dan vooral de binnenkant
1 warmwater punt, bij de afwas alleen koud water
De douches voor de mannen miste vooral kleding haakjes
Bij de vrouwen is dat beter geregeld
De verlichting gaat naar ongeveer een kwartiertje uit, daar sta je dan in het pikke donker, dan maar weer naar voren lopen om de verlichting aan te doen bewegings melders zou een beter optie zijn geweest, of heel snel douchen

Aurélie et Fred

Liked Nice owners who are trying to build up and modernise business.

Disliked No running hot water (very cold shower) and also only a few pitches for tents.

No toilet tissue in toilets, also no soap or drying facilities for washing after using toilet

From the manager: Hi Ronnie,

I not understand for the showers. The water is hot and continious. 30% of ours pitches are for van, tents, rv ......
Soap and toilett paper are not provided but we help you if you needed
16€ for a night with the showers and phone charge is not expensive.
You dont recommanded to friends but you would stay again ;) Selffishly Ronnie ;) ;) ;) ;)

See you soon
