What customers say
This small, well-run campsite is praised for its friendly and helpful owners, pleasant atmosphere, and convenient location for Calais ferries/tunnel. Pitches are generally well-sized with some offering privacy. While the bar/cafe receives positive mentions for food and drink, some guests note the facilities are dated and in need of renovation. Updates are underway by the new owners. Concerns were raised regarding hygiene in some areas and WiFi charges.

From the manager: Thank you for your feedback. We renovated the sanitary facilities this winter and are decorating them this week. The WiFi is brand new (2025) and free for Pitchup customers. Not bad, right? 😉
See you soon,

Electric optional grass pitch
Liked Proximity to Calais ferry terminal. In a beautiful, calm village. Very friendly and nice owners who allowed us to check in later due to our ferry running late. They were very helpful and caring. The place is very nice already, but it looks like it’s being updated and it will be even bigger and nicer. Will definitely be back.

From the manager: hank you for your feedback. Your family is lovely and we really enjoyed laughing with you. We are continuing to improve the campsite. This week, we are continuing to decorate the sanitary facilities and add flowers along the paths. See you soon,
Aurélie and Fred.

From the manager: We’re sorry that your stay with us did not meet your expectations. It is true that in 2025 the sanitary facilities were old (we renovated them this winter), but they have always been clean, just like the pitches and the snack bar. Cleanliness is one of our top priorities. We are surprised by your feedback, as we are always available during your stay—you should have come to see us.

Great, close to Le Shuttle.
Electric optional grass pitch
Liked The welcome and the general atmosphere of the place. It was incredibly friendly, and it was authentic... not dodgy customer service affectations.
Disliked Nothing!

From the manager: Thank you for your feedback. It makes us very happy and motivates us. We continue to improve the campsite. This year, we have renovated the sanitary facilities and some pitches. If needed, we have toilet paper available at the reception—it’s just that it sometimes gets taken from the sanitary facilities. Sorry about that. We hope to see you again.

needs so much attention but could be lovely as beautiful location
Electric optional grass pitch
Liked nothing - this site needs so much attention.
Disliked litter in pitch, no staff to greet us at check in time and let us in, shower block in a state of disrepair, all paths full of weeds

From the manager: Hello, your review is quite inappropriate as you did not stay with us overnight. You did indeed wait 10 minutes before someone arrived due to an unexpected situation, and we are sorry about that. However, after parking on a pitch, connecting to electricity, taking water, and using the sanitary facilities, you left without paying (a very nice grey pickup with a hardtop and rooftop tent 😉 on September 18).
We wish you all the best going forward.
Nice, quiet small camp site.

From the manager: Thank you for your feedback. We took over the campsite two years ago, and many improvements were needed. In 2025, we added new pitches, completely renovated the snack/bar, and introduced more entertainment and services (bar, snack, bakery, etc.). This winter, we renovated the sanitary facilities and improved several pitches. We are also working on our English and hope to see you again.
Excellent for stopover to and from Calais.
Electric optional grass pitch
Liked Good size pitch with electric. Quiet site. Competitive and very reasonable prices. There is a supermarket 4 minutes drive away (walkable distance)
Excellent host who is always ready to go out of their way to help. Shower block is in need of updating but is clean and the new owner is working to refurbish it.

Electric optional grass pitch
Liked Small but handy stop off site for Calais ferries. Decent supermarket and petrol station approx 2 miles from site. Clean but dated toilet / shower facilities. Small bar onsite
Disliked Only 10 mins free WiFi then expensive sign up.

From the manager: Thank you for your comment. The Wi-Fi is new and is now free for at least two hours. Have a nice day.

Very friendly staff, facilities were clean despite renovations
Electric optional grass pitch
Liked Very friendly and helpful owner. We had a good night’s sleep and both the site and surrounding countryside were lovely. Well situated near Calais. The toilets were under renovation so had limited stalls but were still kept clean and we had no issues. We walked to the local shop which took about 30 minutes each way so would be easier cycling or by car but was still a nice evening walk.

Quiet peaceful site.
Electric optional grass pitch
Liked Lovely quiet and peaceful site, Fred was very welcoming on arrival. We could pick our own pitch, good for stop before ferry/tunnel about 30 minutes away. Good location for cycling the area. Pitches have hedges so not over looked. We had a toasted sandwich and fries and some beers which were nice.
Disliked Fred advised on arrival that they are newish owners of the site, which they are doing it up. Toilet block clean but needs updating, showers were warm, but no hot water for dishes. Felt €12 for electric a bit expensive. Nothing much around within walking distance. When all renovations done sure this will be a lovely site.
