Looking for a campsite with loads to do to keep everyone happy?

With more than 40 years of experience running the site, the owners Francis and Odile are always on hand to help out in any way they can. So what exactly is on offer at Camping des Crocs? Partially shaded grass pitches divided by hedges for your privacy. A well-equipped playground and an inflatable bouncy castle for younger kids.

What customers say

This campsite is praised for its quiet, clean and well-maintained facilities, with friendly staff who try to accommodate non-French speakers. Large, level pitches with water points are highlighted, and its proximity to Marquenterre Park is a plus for birdwatchers. While some found the showers basic and in need of updating, they were generally reported as clean. Issues were raised regarding reception availability, WiFi costs, and token-operated showers, but many visitors would recommend and return.

Electric optional grass and earth pitch

Liked Friendly staff and clean facilities. Proximity to Marquenterre Park for birdwatching

Disliked Our pitch looked sad and neglected, but it was a good size and private. Charge for WiFi is €8 a day so we didn't use it

Electric optional grass and earth pitch

Liked Great location, friendly staff, large pitches. Very close to fantastic nature reserve (Parc de Marquenterre) and really fabulous off road cycle routes.

Disliked It's a very competitively priced site but the electricity per night was comparatively very dear - admittedly we were there in high season!

Alec S.

Electric optional grass and earth pitch

Liked Good stop off either just arrived or just on way back to the Uk.
Pitches relatively level.
Clean showers &toilets.
A good site for families with young children and older couples once you know what’s what.
There is a bar that looks good but I didn’t go in.
Every one on the site was friendly.

Disliked Not really any staff available!
No one to greet us despite arriving within the time frame.
Tried ringing the bell at reception as instructions on the door suggest, nothing.
Phoned the mobile number 3 times eventually got a response.
Managed to get details of pitch id booked and set up.
Showers need tokens, no one in reception when I needed a shower, again times on the door suggest it’s manned.
I was only staying for two nights so from the off didn’t know anything as no one saw us in.
I believe because I’m English the lady on reception was maybe a bit more reserved in that she distanced herself from us.
It’s a shame because her English wasn’t as bad as perhaps she thought it was.
I have put that down to being a bit shy.
Having said all this I would still go again.
It’s not one I would ever say to avoid.
I would recommend but explain to people what to expect.

Local attractions

Horse-mad families don’t need to stray very far from the pitches; Henson Equestrian Centre is right next to the campsite and offers pony trekking and riding lessons for all levels of experience. If you prefer to partake in watersports, head for the Baie de Somme’s best kitesurfing spots, which lie between Le Hourdel (35 minutes’ drive) and Cayeux-sur-Mer (40 minutes), at the northern end of Le Crotoy beach and at Fort-Mahon (both 15 minutes). If that’s all a bit too high-octane for you, don your sturdy boots and follow the Promenade des Crocs hiking trail north along the Baie de Somme coastline from Park Marquenterre (five minutes), itself an area of coastal dunes and marshland grazed by wild horses and rich in birdlife including herons, avocets and egrets. Popular local resorts to get to know include Le Touquet (45 minutes), where you can browse stylish shops, play hide-and-seek with the kids on the sand dunes or enjoy a romantic dinner à deux in a seafront restaurant. Springboard to boat cruises across the Baie de Somme, Le Crotoy (15 minutes) is a cute fishing village with lots of seafood cafés around the harbour.
