What customers say
This friendly, convenient spot near Calais boasts a great bar/cafe (good pizza!). While some facilities are dated, they're clean. New owners are improving things; some note tight access and occasional Wi-Fi/hot water issues being sorted.

Very friendly staff, facilities were clean despite renovations
Power optional grass campsite
Liked Very friendly and helpful owner. We had a good night’s sleep and both the site and surrounding countryside were lovely. Well situated near Calais. The toilets were under renovation so had limited stalls but were still kept clean and we had no issues. We walked to the local shop which took about 30 minutes each way so would be easier cycling or by car but was still a nice evening walk.

Quiet peaceful site.
Power optional grass campsite
Liked Lovely quiet and peaceful site, Fred was very welcoming on arrival. We could pick our own pitch, good for stop before ferry/tunnel about 30 minutes away. Good location for cycling the area. Pitches have hedges so not over looked. We had a toasted sandwich and fries and some beers which were nice.
Disliked Fred advised on arrival that they are newish owners of the site, which they are doing it up. Toilet block clean but needs updating, showers were warm, but no hot water for dishes. Felt €12 for electric a bit expensive. Nothing much around within walking distance. When all renovations done sure this will be a lovely site.
