What customers say
Awesome spot, just a stroll to Albert and great for the Somme battlefields. Guests love the friendly team, spacious pitches, and lovely green setting with hedges. Toilets are clean with decent hot showers, though some found them a bit basic and ready for a spruce-up. A peaceful place, ideal for a stopover and soaking up local history.

A good place to stay for Albert
Powered grass caravan site
Liked Easy access to the lovely town of Albert and the war memorials close by. Site has rustic charm, water on the pitches, grey waste emptying and laundry all were fine.
Disliked Overgrown in areas, we couldnt get our MoHo onto the top area as the tree branches were too low, so we had to stay in the bottom area near the showers. the Site really needs some gardening TLC.

Perfect location for Albert, and the Somme museum 1 or 2 nights max
Powered grass caravan site
Liked Nice layout and allowed to choose your own pitch. Pitches were spacious with plenty of water and EHU points. Friendly lady on the site who was doing both the reception and cleaning. Proximity to the town centre.
Disliked A lot of low hanging branches which made accessing the pitches/moving around the site, our roof was scraped multiple times, everything needed cutting back. As a 2* site you expect the facilities to be basic, but clean and functional. Some facilities were out of action and were not especially clean, maybe one person having to do everything was too much?

Great location for seeing Somme Battlefields with short walk into town
Powered grass caravan site
Liked Quiet campsite, friendly staff, bigger than average pitches. Really close to Somme battlefield sites. 15min walk to town centre which had good restaurants.
Disliked The toilet/shower block was a little run down as was the electric and water facilities on the pitches. But the temperature on the shower was good. Entrance gate could do with some maintenance (the collapsed one)

Fine for an overnight stay
Powered grass caravan site
Liked Plots. Reasonable size
Disliked Toilet facilities need updating- they are reasonably clean but old fashioned and basic. The tap on the basin in the toilet area didn’t work. At least two of the toilet seats were broken
The office wasn’t open- it would have helped if there had been a notice on it about where the lady could be found

Powered grass caravan site
Liked Nice quite site with grass pitches, great location close to town with pubs and shops. Good location to visit world war one battle sites.

Nice place
Powered grass caravan site
Liked Nice location, good services. Even for only one night, our staying there was so peaceful and quiet.
Easy to access it, located into a pitoresque area, we would have liked to have stayed longer.
Also, they have many means for entertainment (like table tennis, pool table)
Disliked The smell the second day was horrific. Of course, is not the site's fault, but literarelly, you really needed to run out of there.
