What customers say
This well-located campsite offers spacious, private pitches and a friendly atmosphere, just a short walk from Albert town centre.

Vriendelijk personeel. Bakker en snackbar op vakantie. Jammer!
Electric grass touring pitch
Liked De standplaats. Stroom en water dichtbij.
Disliked Het sanitair. Geen toiletpapier bij het toilet. Bij de afwasplek was het warmwater lauw en er kwam een klein straaltje water uit de kraan.

Electric grass touring pitch
Liked Really nice place, had a walk around the lake, spotted a couple of Mink in the little river next to the site. Set in a beautiful historic village. We only stayed for an overnight stay but wished we'd stayed a bit longer.

Electric grass touring pitch
Liked Super accueil ! Roxane est très sympa. Les emplacements ''du bas'' pour les camping-car devraient être aussi cocooning que ceux ''du haut'', par exemple plus de petites haies pour délimiter les espaces. Le coin ''salon''(avec plusieurs tables, chaises, fauteuils, jeux ) est original, c'est une bonne idée.
