What customers say
This well-located campsite offers spacious, private sites with helpful, friendly staff. Guests appreciate the proximity to Albert and surrounding WW1 sites, as well as the peaceful atmosphere. While the natural surroundings and communal areas are praised, some reviews note the washrooms are dated and could use an update, with occasional toilet paper shortages.

Disappointing
Powered grass travel trailer campsite
Liked Size of pitch; location to Albert
Disliked No one at ‘reception’, drove in and found a space (another couple told us to as that’s what they did!) then had to go in search of someone so we could check in. Anyone could drive into site - no security or gate pass.
No bread delivery; dingy toilets; shower stayed on for a nanosecond (water was hot though); washing up area had nowhere to drain or stack dishes - just 3 large sinks and luke warm water.

Fine for a one night stop off
Powered grass travel trailer campsite
Liked Pitch was nice, lady who owns it was friendly. Convenient location.
Disliked Toilets ran out of toilet paper in the evening, whole toilet block was a bit shabby. Showers not the cleanest. I didn’t like that it was shared male and female toilets and showers.
