What customers say
This peaceful campsite offers spacious, private pitches and is conveniently located a short walk from Albert town centre. While facilities are described as basic, they are generally clean with good showers. Some guests noted a need for toilet paper and minor updates to the washrooms, but the friendly staff and attractive natural setting with animals are highly praised.

Next to the site is a large park with lakes and kids play park.
Powered grass caravan site
Liked Can chose your own pitch- all pitches seemed large with small hedges dividing them. Unisex facilities - (Toilet paper NOT supplied), showers and toilets need a bit of updating/ TLC. Had large chill out communal area by reception with table tennis and table football. There was also a small animal area with goats, rabbits, guinea pigs and chickens. Wifi at the pitch. 10 min walk into Albert town to the museum.
Disliked There was some broken taps. The washing up sinks were like long troughs but had no draining board. Advertised as having a snack bar with take away but not open.

Peaceful 2 night stay
Powered grass caravan site

Disliked No toilet paper or hand washing soap available.

Plaatsen waren prima, sanitair voldoende.
Powered grass tent site
Liked Vrij rustige eenvoudige camping. Heel groen met allerlei vogeltjes en konijnen. Vriendelijk personeel. Prima vertoeven en de omgeving is prachtig met veel geschiedenis( ww 1).
Disliked Wij hadden er geen last van maar er rijdt wel een trein achter de camping langs. Ik kon 2 nachten niet slapen vanwege het geluid van ergens een snelweg( niet alle nachten hoorbaar) veel motors en vrachtverkeer wat al om 03:00 rijdt. Naast de camping ligt een recreatiepark wat erg druk bezocht wordt en die maken lawaai tot zeker 0:00/01:00.

A game of two halves
Powered grass caravan site
Liked Gorgeous pitches, very green with hedging and trees giving privacy.
Excellent WIFI.
Close to the town centre and station.
Friendly staff.
Disliked The reception area was pretty shabby: not a good first impression.
The toilet block, albeit clean, was in need of a BIG overhaul: dark, gloomy, old, uninviting.
