  • Family-friendly site with direct access to Stella-Plage beach/dunes
  • A 15-minute walk to Stella-Plage town and 20 mins' drive to Le Touquet
  • Playground on site; sand yachting, kayaking, surf lessons at the beach
Spend your next hol dawdling in the dunes at Camping de la Mer, a seaside site where the sands of Stella beach in Pas-de-Calais are accessible directly from the grounds. Making a quick dash over from Britain? It’s also within easy reach of ferry ports, with Calais about an hour and 10 minutes’ drive away. Once you’ve arrived, activities to get stuck into are plentiful: this prime park in northern France has partnerships with many a local tour organiser, so you can learn to surf, kayak across the sea or take a walking tour of nearby bays in search of seals. More interested in hanging out with horses? An equestrian centre is a 20-minute drive away to the north in the larger town of Le Touquet, also home to a golf course and waterpark. Heading south instead, make for Parc Bagatelle for rides and rollercoaster to suit the younger enfants in their travel squad; the parkland here is also ace for picnicking. Back on base (with an ice cream in hand from the on-site vendor in high season), check in with Camping de la Mer’s friendly staff to get their top tips on the things to do and sights to see in the local area. For extra info, also chat to the chaps at the tourist information office in Stella-Plage town, a 20-minute walk away past the supermarket.

Liked: The site has easy access to the beach and the loos and showers were modern and clean although not enough of them for the number of people on the camping site.

Disliked: The reception staff were fairly unpleasant when we arrived. They asked to see out passports and failed to return one of them saying that we owed them money for one nights stay. Unfortunately for them they did this by email so we have their demand for money in writing. We had paid before travelling so believe this to be a scam. I would not recommend staying on this site at all. They have no right to retain your passport in exchange for money, this is an illegal activity. They had ample opportunity to return the passport and kept it on purpose. Although this overshadowed our holiday I would also say in the way of advice to other campervan owners that this campsites owners are generally looking to get the most money for the least effort. The pitches are cramped with motorhomes almost bumper to bumper. Dreadful experience.

Liked: Location. Next to a sandy beach and 10 minutes stroll to the town centre. Spacious, lots of pitches. Very friendly staff. Ideal for a short stop if travelling via Calais.

Disliked: Not a massive dislike. The toilets and showers are clean, but only adequate in functionality.

Local attractions

If you’re swayed by the idea of learning to sail, do it on the sand instead of sea at a school in Berck 20 minutes’ drive south of the park. Or is the water where you’ll want to be? If so, a place for renting standup paddleboards, pedal boats and jetskis is around 10 minutes away. Have an ocean experience without getting wet at the aquariums of the Maréis - Sea Fishing Discovery Center (20 minutes’ drive), or go to take a look at the thousands of underwater creatures at the Nausicaá National Sea Center 50 minutes away in Boulogne-sur-Mer. Inland and outdoors is Montreuil’s old town (25 minutes) and the Vallée de la Course (35 minutes), for flitting around a pretty landscape dotted with farmhouses, posh mansions and churches. Castles are (of course) around here too – drive half an hour to Château de Recques-sur-Course to mosey around a stately Louis XV-style structure.
