What customers say
Immaculate, well-kept site with friendly owners, handy location near Calais/town. Pitches are spacious, private, often with water/waste. Shower tokens and no toilet seats/paper noted as typical for France, but overall, guests loved it and want to come back.

Anonymous Power optional gravel and cement/asphalt campsite
Liked The lovely warm welcome and the way we were shown to our pitch and all the facilities. After checking the disabled shower room, we asked if we could have an extra chair. This was no problem for the owner who went and got one straight away for us and put it into the disabled room. Nothing was too much trouble. Nice size pitch with water electric and chemical waste on pitch. At the back of the campsite we're some nice walks around the lakes.
Disliked Not much in the town to look at, and a bit run down

Liked Friendly host, nice campsite in a lovely area. Shower block and toilets clean.
Disliked Nothing to dislike. But point to note showers work on a token system but you get plenty of time per token it’s nothing to worry about.

Power optional gravel and cement/asphalt campsite
Liked This stay was part of a touring holiday by myself & my dog along with a single axle caravan with motor movers.
Travelling from & back via Le Shuttle Calais, visiting Pas-de-Calais Hauts-de-France & Normandy. I selected my 4 sites (+2 repeated for the return journey), these sites were selected for their location, convenience, local facilities & reviews via Pitchup.com. All the sites were “Good” or above. The key question is “would I use the site again if travelling to the location / area” All of which are a “yes”, 2 of which were so good for my needs I would go out of my way to stay there again if I had the need.
Camping Ardresien, Ardres
About 15 miles from Calais Le Shuttle terminal.
This is a small compact site, family owned site, ideal for my purposes. Visited twice, once outbound (1 Night) & on my return (2 Nights). It was a great starting point with plenty of local amenities within 1.5 km. The second stay was a great place for access to a great English speaking vets less than 1 km away for sorting my dog’s AHC for my return to the UK, (Clinique Vétérinaire du Camp du Drap d'Or, 50 impasse Bourgelat, ZA des Moulins - D943, 62610 Autingues. (veto.ardres@wanadoo.fr).
Jean, the owner, is a very friendly chap, only to please to assist, he runs a very clean well maintained site, the toilets and showers were immaculate, some cubicles also having toilet paper (Which is not a given at many French sites). Excellent dog walking opportunities around the adjacent fishing lakes. This site has an approx 60/40 split of Static caravans to mobile pitches available. The main access is narrow but can easily be navigated by the average campervan or caravan.
Wi-Fi not used.
Overall excellent. This site I categorise as “I would go out of my way to stay there again if I had the need”. Well done Jean!
