What customers say
Great location near Albert & WWI sites. Staff are friendly, pitches spacious & private. Peaceful atmosphere. Showers usually clean with good hot water, but washrooms dated. Some report occasional issues with toilet paper & hot water at sinks.

Powered grass travel trailer campsite
Liked For a one night stay perfect, very clean but old sanitair. We think the environmet is green and nice but we couldn’t enjoy because of our one night stay. Restaurants and bakery in center Albert
Disliked The dog barking al the time also at night, not able to do the dishes only washing area. Need some upgrading. No light at wc (sensor is not working). Small camping places 7x8. At arrival at the reception the doorbell wasn t good enough for understanding it should ve better if there was a sign telling us to go to the restaurant. An upgrade for the entrance including little shop and breadservice would be amazing!!!
