- Dogs welcome; playground, restaurant, games room and activities
A half-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 family-friendly site in the Caps et Marais d’Opale Regional Natural Park puts you within easy driving distance of sandy beaches and relaxed coastal walks. 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, 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, thanks to a range of organised activities – 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 restaurant 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: Fred the owner was so welcoming and went out of his way to make sure that our stay was successful. He has recently taken over the campsite and although the facilities are old he is working to upgrade them. The site is great for a stopover either coming from the UK or returning. Love the recycling and the rabbits!
