What customers say
This is a peaceful site, handily placed for Albert town and WW1 sites. Pitches are spacious and private. Staff are friendly and helpful. Facilities are clean but a bit dated, especially washing sinks and loos. No loo roll always. Trains can be a bit noisy.

Electric grass touring pitch
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!!!

Good for visiting Great War historical sites.
Electric grass touring pitch
Liked Convenient location. Excellent park adjacent.
Disliked Most of the toilets had neither seats nor lids. 3 of the 4 water taps adjacent to our pitch leaked. Pitches were generally small and it seemed that as many campers as possible were packed into the site.
