  • Peaceful site in the grounds of a working farm 3km from Bailleul
  • 20 minutes' drive from Ypres and In Flanders Fields Museum
  • Farm shop on site with an wide range of homegrown and local produce
If you want a full flavour of French cuisine (oui), you'll find it here in French Flanders. The shop at Camping de la Ferme des Saules, in the grounds of a working farm in the Flanders mountains, is piled with all sorts of fruit and veg fresh from the fields for you to sample, as well as a range of tiptop produce from other local suppliers including fresh meat, pâtés, cheese, eggs, sweets and homemade Flemish waffles. Pick up some local fruit juices and beers to wash it all down and you’ve got everything you need for quite the French feast. Ferme des Saules is a family-friendly site, half a kilometre from the Belgian border and 20 minutes' drive from Ypres. Guests are welcome to wander the farm during opening hours to meet the chickens, goats and pony, or you could work your appetite up further with a pre-dinner game of pétanque while the kids bounce around the playground or trampoline. Spacious grass pitches are within easy reach of a smart modern toilet block that houses toilets, showers, a kids’ bathroom and an accessible bathroom. There’s also free wifi access around the site. Ferme des Saules is a few kilometres from Bailleul for yet more foodie options at its restaurants, bistros, bars and speciality shops: you can reach town within a five-minute drive, a 15-minute cycle or a 45-minute walk, depending on how many calories you need to work off...

Power optional grass and earth travel trailer campsite

Liked: Distance from Calais, very convenient. Bailleul is a really beautiful town and also close to Ypres. Nice shop on site.

Disliked: The dishwashing inside the unisex toilet block, wouldn’t have been able to eat off the plates again. Used our own facilities. Grass pitches with poor drainage albeit there had been a lot of rain. There are a lot of permanent sites which are untidy and detract from the general appeal.

Power optional grass and earth RV campsite

Liked: Lovely sheltered green space. Water and electricity supply. Very good toilets and showers close by. The farm shop was open until 7pm with great choice of cheese and meats. Fresh bread and pastries could be ordered. I had the best nights sleep for a long time. It was quiet and felt secure. I would recommend to my friends and family.

Disliked: There wasn’t anything I disliked.

Power optional grass and earth travel trailer campsite

Liked: Lovely shop on site which was handy if you needed any food during your stay. We had a choice of which pitch we wanted. Lots of chickens roaming around. Great location to the WW1 sites as well as a nearby retail park

Disliked: Was going through a refurb by the looks of it so the children’s area was minimal and there were pitches being built

Local attractions

At Bailleul, start in the flower-filled Grand’Place, dominated by the 62-metre belfry tower of the town hall, designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Climb to the top for spectacular views towards the mountains and to get up close to the 35-bell carillon. Around the corner from the square is the Museum of Benoit-De-Puydt, a converted private house where you can learn a bit about the town’s role during the war and visit the exhibition of Flemish art. Also worth a visit is the Country Life Museum in Steenwerck, a 15-minute drive from the site and set up to recreate a Flemish village in 1900. The major Belgian point of interest close by is Ypres, 20 minutes' drive from the site, where you can tour the battlefields, visit the war cemeteries and learn more about the area's historical significance at the In Flanders Fields Museum.
