  • Well-appointed holiday park in the grounds of a French manor
  • Handy for Calais, Grand Site des Deux-Caps, theme parks and waterparks
  • Two playgrounds, nine-hole miniature golf course and volleyball
If ever you’ve fallen foul of a traffic jam or a delayed ferry or Eurotunnel train on your way through to Calais, you’ll know that an untimely site arrival can leave you somewhat scuppered. But not with Château de la Bien-Assise, a highly handy 20-minute drive from Calais. For its 24-hour barriers and flexible arrival times for booked guests mean that even if you rock up at this Guines site in the middle of the night, you’ll have a pitch to park up at, no probs. And while this Pas-de-Calais place may well be splendid for a stopover between England and France and wider Europe, it’s also excellently set up as a family holiday destination, with well-appointed facilities and a setting among the Caps et Marais d'Opale Natural Regional Park, a land filled with all sorts to see and do. If you arrive during daylight hours, head for a dip in the heated pool with retractable roof first, followed by a sun-drenched doze on the adjacent sun terrace if you've had a long journey here (or indeed if not). For times of higher energy, a nine-hole miniature golf course and three outdoor ping pong tables await (bats and balls can be bought at the shop), tennis courts are available for an extra charge, and a volleyball court and outdoor gym are to hand should you be feeling particularly croissant conscious. The park has two playgrounds – one for kids aged eight to 12, and another for smaller people aged three to seven. A bar, pool table, pinball machine and several arcade games are indoors.

Liked: The grounds of the site are fabulous as is the restaurant.

Disliked: We were booked into a premium pitch by PITCH UP WITH NO WIFI. When we googled the website for Château de la Bien-Assise it automatically diverts you to the Pitch Up booking site - I really wanted to book direct but proceeded with Pitch Up but there website DOES NOT STATE that WiFi is only available on the Premium Plus pitches. When we checked in we were not given a map or any instructions at all about facilities on site just escorted by a Buggy to our pitch. I asked the buggy driver for the WiFi password but she explained we had not paid for this via Pitch Up! I was inconvenienced without the WiFi facility. I couldn’t even pay extra for this! Finally the toilets and showers need updating as they are now very old and tired.

Powered grass campsite

Liked: We travelled through France Switzerland and Italy and stayed at various campsites. This was by far the best. The young lady on arrival was very welcoming friendly and spoke very good English. Beautiful campsite with everything you need. Bar, snack/bar take away, restaurant, swimming pool and even a beautiful chateau. Immaculate gardens/grounds and facilities were spotlessly clean. Highly recommend and will definitely visit again. Ideal to stay for being close to Calais/le shuttle.

Liked: A very warm welcome, the shower and toilets were very clean, the pitches are large, restaurant and cafe on site were very good, long dog walk very good. Nice pool, good shop,
It is a very good stopover either way, 15 minutes from the Shuttle, it is a perfect finishing point or starting point for your travels.

I would like to say a Massive thank you, for all of you kindness and help, with our stay between the 12th and 15th May 2025.

Local attractions

Its setting between sea and the countryside is the big advantage of this site: the beach resorts of Wimereux and Wissant are both within half an hour’s drive, as is one of Europe’s largest aquariums at Boulogne-sur-Mer. If you’re one for setting yourself up for smashing vistas, then the Grand Site des Deux-Caps – a most spectacular protected coastal area comprising the Cap Blanc-Nez and Cap Gris-Nez and looking right out towards Dover’s white cliffs – is a short drive away. When kid-friendly day trips are calling, head to the family theme parks of Bagatelle or Dennlys for waterslide swooshing and miniature railway or monorail rides, or to the coastal waterpark of Aqualud for more than two kilometres of slides, tropical pools and wave machines, all easily within an hour’s drive.
