Mimi D.

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked The convenience of it all. We stayed for 2 nights at the end of our 2 weeks in France. Fully serviced pitch 46. Opposite toilets showers, so while very handy, not the best view! Best part was the restaurant serving good food at a good price. Burger and chips, fish and chips for €14 The people in the restaurant and bar were very pleasant and friendly. The toilets and showers were very nicely kept and clean. Washing up stations excellent, waste disposal good too, recycling available. Dog park with poop bags and bin provided. Dog appreciated it. Chemical toilet disposal a bit odd as you had to lift it up quite high and pour it down a drain pipe. Not the easiest thing to do.

Disliked Although this site is extremely popular with mostly Brits starting or ending their holiday there are some things that could be improved upon. We had planned to use the disabled shower for my mum but it wasn't very pleasant and smelled. Also trying to help someone wash while constantly having to push a button to get 5 seconds of water just wouldn't work for a disabled person as she would have got too cold. The toilets had rails but no where near the toilet and this would have been dangerous in my opinion. It's a shame that the showers and toilets had been refurbished but not the disabled one. Pretty standard! The pitch was serviced but the water tap couldn't take a hose attachment so I didn't fill my water tank. It was just as easy to take the washing up and do it, butdefeats the object of having a serviced pitch. I need to get a watering can for next time. The other thing I didn't like was the pitches are all small and too close together, offering little privacy. I could hear snoring and guests did not adhere to the quiet after 10pm rule. I missed the peacefulness of the last two sites we stayed on but it served its purpose, to rest before our onward journey.

From the manager: Hello,
Thank you for you review, always the opportunity to improve our services.
You are right the disable facilities are old. We plan to refurbished them.
The size of the pitches is an average of 150m2 square. In the silence of the night noises appear stronger...
Kind regards.
Laurence

Local attractions

The site is on the edge of the Caps et Marais d'Opale Natural Regional Park, a popular local spot for walks and bike rides; more of the same, as well as wildlife watching in scenic surrounds, is at the Canche Bay Nature Reserve to the park's south. The medieval town of Ardres a few minutes' drive away is a must-see in this part of Pas-de-Calais – and a popular destination for holidaymakers on weekend breaks from Britain. Carve out time for the ancient and award-winning Thursday morning market, the bird sanctuary and the garden of the Maison de la Nature at the very least… and make it a mission to find the town bakery and patisserie too. From Ardres, follow the canal (starting from Calais harbour) along to Saint-Omer and the nearby World War II bunker Blockhaus of Éperlecques and its museum, or further along to Lille, an hour and 25 minutes' drive from the site.
