Camping L'Orée des Caps

Liked Close to Calais port
Lovely bar and play area- bar open from 6-8 on an evening- could maybe extended during the summer?
Very nice host who was really helpful
Supermarket nearby- less than a couple of miles which was well stocked. - carrefour contact

Disliked Pitches were a little small especially for our twin axle caravan but we managed. And the owner is improving the pitches to accommodate larger vans.
10mins free for WiFi then there was a charge

Liked The friendliness of the owners and other guests.
So accommodating and a great bar area with great food, which was much needed after a long day travelling and quite a late arrival.
Choosing my pitch was great, and as the site is relatively small, everything is close by.
Good English spoken by the owners was again a massive bonus after a long day and you are very tired and finding it difficult to think!

Disliked Maybe mention at check in that you need to have your own toilet paper. Their is some signage and maybe it was me, but I didn't see it until the morning and reception wasn't open.....fortunately a fellow guest had left some in the toilet and shower block.

Liked Could arrive a bit later than normal.

Disliked Mixed showers and toilets area

Liked De ligging van de camping bevind zich in een prachtig wandel / fiets gebied, helemaal top
De camping eigenaar doet er alles aan om het iedereen naar z'n zin te maken
We hadden begrepen dat deze mensen nog niet zo lang de nieuwe eigenaren zijn
Je kan zien dat er al verbeteringen plaats vinden

Disliked Het toilet gebouw verdient wel een aandacht punt, dat heeft echt wel z'n beste tijd wel gehad en dan vooral de binnenkant
1 warmwater punt, bij de afwas alleen koud water
De douches voor de mannen miste vooral kleding haakjes
Bij de vrouwen is dat beter geregeld
De verlichting gaat naar ongeveer een kwartiertje uit, daar sta je dan in het pikke donker, dan maar weer naar voren lopen om de verlichting aan te doen bewegings melders zou een beter optie zijn geweest, of heel snel douchen

From the manager: Thanks you for you rewiew. Sorry for the cold shower. We had a problem with the sitting of 2 showers. It s ok now

Aurélie et Fred

Liked Nice owners who are trying to build up and modernise business.

Disliked No running hot water (very cold shower) and also only a few pitches for tents.
Restaurant only open 18:00 - 20:00hrs.
No toilet tissue in toilets, also no soap or drying facilities for washing after using toilet

From the manager: Hi Ronnie,

I not understand for the showers. The water is hot and continious. 30% of ours pitches are for van, tents, rv ......
Soap and toilett paper are not provided but we help you if you needed
16€ for a night with the showers and phone charge is not expensive.
You dont recommanded to friends but you would stay again ;) Selffishly Ronnie ;) ;) ;) ;)

See you soon

Liked A 30 minute drive to the port of Calais.

Disliked Felt the bar food and drinks were a little overpriced.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your feedback. We are aware of the prices, but we want to offer quality products, either local or regional. €6 for a croque-monsieur with salad, €13 for a pizza, €5.60 for a Belgian beer, and €3.50 for a Coca-Cola in a glass bottle.
Have a lovely day.

Liked The camping was quite and the pizza was good

Disliked The toilets and showers were really gross. 2 toilets for a whole camping, not cleaned, the guys toilets outside were broken, you peed in it and it fell down through the toilet on your legs. Disgusting

The people were not friendly when you arrive 20 minutes early. They tell you that there is no respect.

From the manager: Hello,
We have not had a urinal for the past few weeks. There are 4 toilets and 5 showers for 18 pitches, which is above the standard and quite comfortable. The block is cleaned 2 to 3 times a day. We do allow early arrivals when possible, but there is no need to ring several times within 5 minutes—please give us time to get there, especially during closing hours.

We wish you a plaisant holliday
Thank you for the pizza

Aurélie et Fred

Liked Unfortunately we did not enjoy this site.

Disliked The site was tiny & it is nothing like what the picture looked like.

The staff were friendly but spoke very poor English & told us to “find a pitch.” Two pitches left which were tucked in a corner and a nightmare trying to reverse our twin axle tourer into the tight pitch.

The toilets / showers were not clean. The urinal odour was very strong.

The site was not maintained.

Although it served a purpose for our one night stay / stop over, we wouldn’t return.

You made not effort to understand eathother.Do you speack just a few words of frenc ??????

you arrivate late and we thinks you would be better in 5* campsite

21€/ night, late arrivals, new wifi.
You opinion is not justified and you know it
