Camping L'Orée des Caps

Positiv Clean toilet block, the rabbits

Negativ Site is quite rough and ready. When you camp you don’t get the pitches with the hedges round as advertised. You get a piece of grass that is roped off and we were next to a very noisy family. Also there are only 3 toilets and they are all very very close together.

Vom Platzbetreiber: Thank you for your feedback.

Some of our pitches are indeed separated by hedges, while others are not. However, we remain a small and peaceful campsite, with pitches generally offering plenty of privacy.

Regarding the family you found noisy, we are sorry that you did not let us know during your stay. We place great importance on keeping the campsite quiet and regularly walk around the site to make sure everyone respects this. Had we been made aware of the situation, we would of course have intervened.

Thank you also for mentioning the cleanliness of our sanitary facilities. Just to clarify, our sanitary block has 3 showers and 5 toilets. Regarding the toilets being close together, unfortunately it is difficult to place them further apart within the same sanitary block. 😉

You mentioned that you will not be staying with us again, which we are sorry to hear, but that you would still recommend us to your friends. We sincerely thank you for that!

All the best,
Aurélie & Fred

Positiv Location, friendly owner. Other reviews dislike the showers, as someone that has traveled i can say there are far worse out there. They were basic but clean and no coin meter.

Negativ Nothing

Vom Platzbetreiber: Thank you so much for your lovely and fair review! 😊

We’re really pleased that you enjoyed our location and our welcome. Thank you also for your kind words about our showers. They may be simple, but cleanliness is extremely important to us, and we want our guests to enjoy hot showers without having to worry about coins or tokens.

It was a real pleasure to welcome you to L’Orée des Caps, and we hope to see you again on another trip!

All the best,
Aurélie & Fred

Positiv What a fabulous little campsite. Nice sized pitches, located conveniently to Calais port. After reading a few posters around the site, the owners are doing well bringing the site up to a great standard with more facilities/improvements in the pipeline.
It had a little play park for our children, a bar and clean toilets/showers. It was perfect for our night stay before heading to our ferry the next day after a long drive up from the south.

Negativ There wasn’t much we disliked, it wasn’t well lit in the evenings but this is something the owners are looking to improve.

Vom Platzbetreiber: Thank you so much for this wonderful review! 😊 It really means a lot to us.

We took over L’Orée des Caps with lots of ideas and projects, and we’re gradually improving the campsite each season while keeping the friendly, peaceful atmosphere of a small campsite. It’s lovely to know that you noticed the work already completed and took the time to read about our future plans.

Thank you also for mentioning the pitches, the cleanliness of our facilities, the play area and our little bar. We’ve also taken note of your comment about the lighting – this is indeed one of the improvements we are planning.

And thank you for making the effort to speak French with us! 😊 We’re always happy to practise our English too!

It was a real pleasure to welcome you and your family. We hope to see you again at L’Orée des Caps

All the best,

Vom Platzbetreiber: Thank you for mentioning our friendly welcome and helpfulness.

Regarding the sanitary facilities, we are a little surprised by your comment. Our toilet and shower block may be simple, but it is clean, functional and maintained daily. Renovation and improvement work has already been carried out, and we continue to invest in the campsite every winter.

It is always a little difficult for us to respond accurately to anonymous reviews, as we cannot identify your stay or understand exactly what you felt needed improvement.

All the best,
Aurélie & Fred

We’re delighted that you enjoyed your two nights with us, our welcome, the walks around the campsite and, of course, the pizzas and toasties from our little snack bar!

It was also a pleasure to help with some kibble for your dog and the wine glasses for your grandson – it’s the little things that make camping special. 😊

See you next time!

Vom Platzbetreiber: Thank you for your feedback. We’re pleased that you enjoyed the friendly and pleasant atmosphere of our campsite.

We are a little surprised by the description of our sanitary facilities as “almost communal”. Each toilet and shower is, of course, individual and has its own door, providing complete privacy.

Our sanitary block is simple, but it is clean, functional and maintained several times a day. We have already carried out improvements since taking over the campsite and will continue to invest and improve our facilities year after year.

Thank you for staying at L’Orée des Caps.

Vom Platzbetreiber: hank you very much for your feedback and your kind words about our welcome, our bar and our prices! We were also happy to find you a pitch that was better suited to you and your dog.

We have taken note of your comment regarding the lighting in the showers. The timer is currently set for 7 minutes, but this is something we can review to make the facilities more comfortable for our guests.

Thank you for staying at L’Orée des Caps, and we hope to welcome you again on a future trip!
