  • Quiet dog-friendly site next to Lake Ardres
  • A 20-minute drive from Calais and 25 minutes from beaches
  • Within walking distance of restaurants and shops; pétanque on site
The Opal Coast… a name that brings to mind white cliffs, windswept beaches and beach huts of all colours. Then there’s Lake Ardres… that spot has shot to popularity too, mostly because of its gentle waters surrounded by the Brêmes countryside. Tucked to one side of the lake in its lush green surrounds is Camping Le Courtil Rose. The lakeside site has its own set of attractions: a quiet and dog-friendly being one of the key ones. There’s a pétanque pitch and lots of practical facilities too (showers, toilets and launderette included). Access to the lake is one of the most exciting parts. Rent an electric bike and take a lap of the lakeshore or pack yourself up a picnic and pick a pretty spot for a relaxed day by the water. There are restaurants (both alongside the lake and not) within walking distance of the site, as well as shops. When you’re ready to trade that fresh water for the salty kind, Calais beach on the Opal Coast is but a 25-minute drive away from the site. With the ships gliding to and from shore, and a line of beach huts, it’s a special spot. Also along the coast, about 25 minutes’ drive away is Plage de Sangatte, a popular patch for windsurfing, kitesurfing, fishing, sand yachting and horse riding.

Power optional gravel caravan site

Liked: The campsite is in a scenic location.

Disliked: The infrastructure is a disaster. The sanitary facilities are an imposition, the access road is earthy, the shower is dirty and the joints are full of mould. The washing-up area is also primitive. Network coverage is almost non-existent and there is no WiFi.

Power optional gravel caravan site

Liked: The kindness of the manager

Disliked: Absolutely awful. Description misleading lake is a long way to walk.not how it reads. Site is nothing but a gravel jungle with mostly static vans which looks like quite a few people live there.no grey waste disposal facility which is a first.

From the manager: Good morning To respond to your comments: 1) you found me nice thank you for that 2) for the lake I can't let you say that it's a place that a lot of people like a lot, you are the first to make this remark out of thousands of people and there is indeed a road that crosses the lake but there are also lots of small paths 3) for camping there are pebble pitches which are very appreciated so as not to get bogged down 4) there is a hose reel for gray water at the campsite near the toilet block After a rating of 2/10 for what we are trying to do.........thank you Tony.

Power optional gravel caravan site

Liked: Lovely host, what a welcome and thoroughly nice man! The site was basic however this is reflected in the price and toilets and showers were clean and functional. It was an excellent location being literally 20 minutes from Calais ferry port. The site appears to be mainly statics and felt as if some people live there. All in all it was a good stopover site.

Disliked: Tricky to negotiate with a tourer

Local attractions

Set off for Calais (20 minutes’ drive), a port town lined with white cliffs. The City of Lace and Fashion is one of its famed museums, telling the story of the town's craft-making past in a 19th-century lace factory. That Opal Coast is calling too… walks-wise, the chalk cliffs of Cap Blanc-Nez (35 minutes) with views over the English channel must surely take the priority. For seaside cities, however, Boulogne-sur-Mer (40 minutes) is first call. The city walls, built in the 13th century, are a clue to the interesting history. The Norman castle has ancient Egyptian and Greek artefacts and an art gallery. If you get the chance, you might want to check out Wimereux (40 minutes), near Boulogne-sur-Mer. A sandy beach backed by a sea wall and promenade, and lined with 19th-century villas, makes for a splendid beach day.
