What customers say
This campsite offers a great location for exploring the Somme, with pitches well-divided by hedges and many with water and electricity. Staff are consistently praised for being friendly and helpful. Facilities are generally considered clean, though the shower and toilet blocks are frequently described as dated and in need of refurbishment. Visitors note the convenience of being within walking distance of Albert. Some reviews mention issues with low water pressure and temperature at washing-up sinks, and consistently, a lack of toilet paper is reported. The site is also noted for its peaceful atmosphere and proximity to a lake and park.

Liked Pitch was nice, lady who owns it was friendly. Convenient location.
Disliked Toilets ran out of toilet paper in the evening, whole toilet block was a bit shabby. Showers not the cleanest. I didn’t like that it was shared male and female toilets and showers.
