  • Family-run site in Ardres, five minutes' walk from town centre
  • A 20-minute drive to Calais; half an hour to north-coast beaches
  • Private fishing pond on site; three minutes' walk from Lac d’Ardres
Quiet lakeside location for the peaceful vibes or handy town setting for the convenience of being able to walk to a shop? No need to choose when you’re staying at Camping Ardresien – this Nord-Pas-de-Calais site is in a particularly choice position in the town of Ardres, about five minutes’ walk from the town centre, which hosts summer night markets. In the other direction, it's just a three-minute walk from Lac d’Ardres (along a direct path), a popular spot for pedal boating, renting small boats, slurping on an ice cream or watching the annual July fireworks. This family-run site is a friendly and laidback site where pets and kids are welcome and pitches are quiet and well kept. A play area and pétanque court are on site, along with picnic tables where you can serve up your meals (cooked on a barbecue if you’d like to bring one along). The highlight for many people, though, is the private fishing pond, available for guests to use during their stay. The edge-of-town location is a very handy one that puts you just a few minutes’ walk from a good variety of shops and places to eat, along with other amenities like banks and a post office. Being about 20 minutes’ drive from Calais is another bonus on the location front too, as it puts cross-channel travellers within easy reach of the ferry port (and makes this site a good choice for a first or last night). The nearby coast isn’t all about ferries, of course – you’ll also be able to get to a nice sandy beach or a coastal nature reserve. Turning the other way, there are lots of walks and other outdoor activities in the Caps et Marais d’Opales Regional Natural Park.

What customers say

Great site, very friendly owner, spacious pitches. Ideal stopover near Le Shuttle. Some note lack of toilet seats/paper & token showers, but good value & peaceful.

Power optional gravel and cement/asphalt campsite

Liked Lovely pitch position with a gravel hard standing adjacent to a grassy area to use for table & chairs. We were very close to the very clean toilets and showers. There’s a washing up station too at the end of the toilet block. We were on pitch 15.

Power optional gravel and cement/asphalt campsite

Liked Nice hedged in pitches on a site with mainly owner/occupied mobile homes. Near to lovely lake walks and a short walk into town. Supermarkets about 15mins walk away. Typically French site with no toilet seats and loo roll but very clean facilities.

Local attractions

For outdoor activities, climb into the trees at Adventure Course Guines (10 minutes’ drive), play a round at Golf du Bois de Ruminghem (20 minutes) or join boat tours from places like Saint-Martin-lez-Tatinghem (25 minutes). If you’ve got the kids with you, you may like to plan trips to Saint Joseph Village (10 minutes), to visit the replica traditional village with things like workshops and a waterfall, and Fééryland (15 minutes), full of colourful games and rides for youngsters. And of course there’s always the option of a seaside outing – Calais (25 minutes) is home to the City of Lace and Fashion museum and Musée Memoire as well as its ferry port and sandy beaches, and there are several other lovely spots including Cap Blanc-Nez and wildlife-filled National Nature Reserve Platier Oye (both half an hour).
