What customers say
This is a friendly, well-located campsite, a short walk from Albert town centre and ideal for exploring WW1 battlefields. Pitches are generally good-sized and private, with many guests praising the clean facilities, hot showers, and helpful staff. Some reviews mention the facilities could benefit from updating and that toilet paper is not provided. Low-hanging branches on some pitches have been noted.

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.
