  • Park Marquenterre five minutes’ drive; Fort-Mahon beach 15 minutes
  • Play area and pétanque courts; bike hire; restaurant and entertainment
Looking for a campsite with loads to do to keep everyone happy? You’ve hit gold dust at Camping des Crocs, a small, low-key and family-friendly sort of place 15 minutes’ drive from the pretty seaside town of Le Crotoy in Picardy. With more than 40 years of experience running the site, the owners Francis and Odile are always on hand to help out in any way they can. So what exactly is on offer at Camping des Crocs? Partially shaded grass pitches divided by hedges for your privacy. A well-equipped playground and an inflatable bouncy castle for younger kids. Two pétanque courts for the whole family to test their skills. Bikes and e-bikes for hire from reception, so you can explore the cycle paths that surround the site. A bread delivery service and an informal dining room where local dishes are served. Dog walks and fishing direct from the pitches. On top of all that, there’s evening entertainment in the high season, and easy access to Baie de Somme beaches like Quend and Fort-Mahon (both 15 minutes’ drive) for summertime adventures splashing around in the water.

What customers say

This quiet site has large, pleasant, well-kept pitches, often with water. Clean restrooms/showers are a plus, though basic and shower tokens were an issue for some. Friendly staff are often praised. No pool, but nearby access and kids' activities (incl. bouncy castle) are available. Peaceful and good value, though some found reception closed and shower temps inconsistent.

Alec S.

Power optional grass and earth campsite

Liked Good stop off either just arrived or just on way back to the Uk.
Pitches relatively level.
Clean showers &toilets.
A good site for families with young children and older couples once you know what’s what.
There is a bar that looks good but I didn’t go in.
Every one on the site was friendly.

Disliked Not really any staff available!
No one to greet us despite arriving within the time frame.
Tried ringing the bell at reception as instructions on the door suggest, nothing.
Phoned the mobile number 3 times eventually got a response.
Managed to get details of pitch id booked and set up.
Showers need tokens, no one in reception when I needed a shower, again times on the door suggest it’s manned.
I was only staying for two nights so from the off didn’t know anything as no one saw us in.
I believe because I’m English the lady on reception was maybe a bit more reserved in that she distanced herself from us.
It’s a shame because her English wasn’t as bad as perhaps she thought it was.
I have put that down to being a bit shy.
Having said all this I would still go again.
It’s not one I would ever say to avoid.
I would recommend but explain to people what to expect.

Liked Plenty of space!

No-one there in the office for our overnight stay (note on the door saying they would be closed!) so we couldn't pay but also couldn't shower (needed to buy jetons)

There was a map so we knew where to park up.

Local attractions

Horse-mad families don’t need to stray very far from the pitches; Henson Equestrian Centre is right next to the campsite and offers pony trekking and riding lessons for all levels of experience. If you prefer to partake in watersports, head for the Baie de Somme’s best kitesurfing spots, which lie between Le Hourdel (35 minutes’ drive) and Cayeux-sur-Mer (40 minutes), at the northern end of Le Crotoy beach and at Fort-Mahon (both 15 minutes). If that’s all a bit too high-octane for you, don your sturdy boots and follow the Promenade des Crocs hiking trail north along the Baie de Somme coastline from Park Marquenterre (five minutes), itself an area of coastal dunes and marshland grazed by wild horses and rich in birdlife including herons, avocets and egrets. Popular local resorts to get to know include Le Touquet (45 minutes), where you can browse stylish shops, play hide-and-seek with the kids on the sand dunes or enjoy a romantic dinner à deux in a seafront restaurant. Springboard to boat cruises across the Baie de Somme, Le Crotoy (15 minutes) is a cute fishing village with lots of seafood cafés around the harbour.
