  • Family-friendly spot by the river Hem, a half-hour drive from Calais
  • Surrounded by the Caps et Marais d’Opale Regional Natural Park
  • Dogs welcome; playground, restaurant, games room and activities
Half an hour's drive from Calais, Camping L’Orée des Caps is a top location for a family holiday in northern France, or for an easy stopover. This quiet, friendly and family-oriented site is in the Caps et Marais d’Opale Regional Natural Park, 25 to 30 minutes' drive from beaches, and has modern amenities and a snack bar. You'll also be well placed for history-rich hikes along the GR145/Via Francigena path, a pilgrims' route that links Canterbury to Rome and passes only a few hundred metres from the site – it's one of multiple hiking trails that you can begin directly from the site – or trips to the heritage attractions of Saint-Omer (half an hour's drive). The level grass pitches at this site are well-maintained and surrounded by tall hedges for privacy. There's plenty of scope to be sociable when you feel like it, though, with a range of organised activities taking place on site from karaoke sessions and sociable dinners to fitness sessions and pétanque tournaments. There’s also a lawn with a volleyball net, a games room with table football, and an outdoor play area with climbing structures and a basketball hoop. Dogs are welcome at this site, and you should find plenty of dog-friendly walks along the banks of the river Hem, which borders the property. The on-site snack bar serves classic French dishes like croques monsieurs and crêpes, as well as pizzas, though the house speciality is an aperitif board that almost groans under the weight of assorted cheeses, cold cuts and gherkins. If you’d rather make your own food, you should be able to buy all you need in the town of Licques (five minutes), which also has a couple of bakeries and restaurants.

Liked I liked that was had a hedge around us. It looked better than the other pitches.
Friendly staff and people that were staying. It is also very peacful

Disliked The toilet block. The toilets and showers were very small. You had 2 mins to do your thing before the lights go out.
Showers were cold and small. The taps were warmer than the showers
Toilets were very small too. Also bring your own loo roll. There wasn't any in the morning.
It looked too rustic.
