  • Quiet retreat between ponds and woods among 25 acres of vegetation
  • A 35-minute drive from Dunkirk and the Cote d'Opale beaches
  • Pétanque tournaments, fishing ponds and themed evenings on site
Hands up if you’d like to fill your holidays with fishing, swimming on the Cote d'Opale or hiking across great plains… yes? Then take a look at Camping Le Romantic, a quiet family-friendly site between ponds and woods in the Nord-Pas-de-Calais countryside. This is a place that has activities for all ages and several fishing ponds so that everyone can have a go (or compete in the site’s trout fishing contest if you’re something of an expert). There are more than 25 acres of vegetation around the site, so you’ll have plenty of greenery to rest and recharge in between activities. When your batteries are adequately topped up, make your way to the city of Dunkirk and the sandy beaches on the Cote d'Opale coast, a little over half an hour’s drive away from Camping Le Romantic. Staying busy is straightforward here, whether that involves playing in the site’s pétanque and belotte tournaments, taking hiking trips across the great plains or cycling in the hills around the Abbaye Sainte-Marie aux Monts-des-Cats (15 minutes’ drive). The site also runs Olympiads, as well as themed evenings such as a Claude Francois evening or a night at the disco. With dogs welcome and a cheery atmosphere all-around, Camping Le Romantic ticks a lot of boxes. It also has good access to the shops and restaurants in Steenvoorde, five minutes’ drive away.

Liked Rural setting, quiet location with with a bar and some entertainment available if you wanted it. Camping areas were reasonably flat and electric hook up worked.

Disliked Washing and toilet block was very basic, mixed sexes in the toilet with urinals opposite the cubicles with no privacy partition. The showers we used were basic and the water backed up so you were standing in your dirty water. There was no drain cover. The temperature of the water was variable so if you needed to do your washing up you would have to boil a kettle to be able to wash up. There was no toilet paper or soap available. The facility for emptying waste water was primitive and not sign posted, just a soil pipe coming out of the ground with a fresh water tap next to it, not very hygienic.

Nothing remotely 'romantic' about this site!

Liked Nothing.

Disliked I stayed for a Saturday night and there was loud noise (music) from clubhouse until 01:30. The pitches were on top of each other, no privacy whatsoever. The toilets were unisex and were disgusting and no paper or soap. I didn't even dare look if there were any shower facilities! Luckily I only stayed one night and couldn't wait to leave in the morning.

Could be better, but we were happy with our stay.

Liked The area is stunning we were there to see the Tour de France . The site is in some areas very basic, but as this was our first time camping in France we don’t know if this is the norm. The site is pretty On the plus side the club room/bar was great on the Saturday night, stunning Belgian beers. Pity that was the only night it was open due to staffing problems. flat where the camping area is.

Disliked The basic sides are mixed toilet's, shower and not many of them no hot water for washing or washing pots, but the showers were so volcanic, that you couldn’t get under them, very strange. The other thing was hidden was the waste water / toilet waste point, if you need it look down the bottom just past the play are on the left there is a post with a power socket a tap and a 4”/100mm waste pipe sticking up with a cap on it.

Very disappointed with toilet block and toilet waste disposal.l

Liked Trevligt bemötande vid incheckning

Disliked Ett ”servicehus” som höll på att falla ihop, trasiga toaletter, inget varmvatten till disk. Duscharna var ett hån och det tog ca 3-4 min innan det kom fram varmvatten. Husvagnsplatserna var inte gjorda efter fullbreddsvagnar på 2,50. Mover ett måste för att få vagnen på plats. Tror det egentligen är en stugby med privata stugor på området. Nä hit åker vi aldrig mer 👎

The view from our camping pitch amazing sunsets. Friendly and helpful staff.…

Local attractions

The Côte d’Opale offers up plenty of places to go for a day out, whether you’re heading there for beach time or the historical side. Plage du Braek (35 minutes’ drive), Petit-Fort-Philippe (40 minutes) and Plage de Leffrinckoucke (40 minutes) are the places to go for sandy beaches and swims or paddling. There are sandy beaches in Dunkirk (35 minutes) too, and it’s a place where you can mix that up with some time exploring the historic ships in the port museum or learning about the past at the Dunkirk 1940 Museum. There’s more on that subject at Blockhaus d’Éperlecques (35 minutes), a World War II bunker and museum. It’s handy to have a couple of ideas ready for damp days too: at those times, the City of Lace and Fashion museum (50 minutes), in a former lace factory, and Nausicaá - Centre national de la Mer aquarium (an hour and 10 minutes) really come into their own.
