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.

Electric grass touring pitch

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.

Local attractions

Set the scene for a tour of the Somme battlefields with a visit to the Musée Somme 1916 (10 minutes’ walk) in Albert, with informative subterranean displays of weapons and military uniforms as well as recreations of the wartime trenches. From there, you are within easy reach of the Thiepval Memorial (10 minutes’ drive), Pozières Memorial and Cemetery (five minutes) and the carefully tended ranks of graves in Caterpillar Valley Cemetery (15 minutes). Historic Arras (40 minutes) has plenty of WWI memorials too, evident when you visit the Carrière Wellington, a network of tunnels dug from medieval chalk quarries by the Allies. Going further back in time, it’s also worth stopping by the sprawling, star-shaped Citadelle d’Arras, built by military architect Sébastien Le Prestre de Vauban in 1672. If you’re travelling with kids, head for lively Amiens (35 minutes) to see big cats and red pandas at the Zoo d’Amiens Métropole, visit the Jules Verne House – former home of the madcap sci-fi writer – and climb to the top of the landmark Beffroi d’Amiens for views over city rooftops.
