What customers say
This is a lovely, quiet campsite with a traditional French layout and a friendly, welcoming atmosphere. Pitches are spacious and private, offering good shade from mature trees and hedges. Facilities are generally clean and well-maintained, with hot water for showers. The site boasts an excellent location, just a short walk from Albert town centre, making it ideal for exploring local amenities and WW1 battle sites. A snack bar and fresh bread service are available on-site. Some guests noted that certain facilities could benefit from updating.

Good value, good location
Electric grass tent pitch
Liked Well set out pitch with trees and hedges for privacy. Close to the centre, about 10 minutes walk. They sell beer and refreshments on site but hours are restricted
Disliked It seems to be a theme in France, the toilets are appalling. Not just here but most campsites looks like they have been vandalised, toilet seats broken and dirty. This site had one toilet roll dispenser

Liked The receptionist. Very helpful lady. The closeness to town. The mature trees that provided cover. The toilets were amazingly clean
Disliked Maybe trim some of the low branches on trees so I can park or put the swing up near them. 2m in height.
