What customers say
Great spot near Albert town & WW1 sites. Friendly staff, big, private pitches, lovely nature with a lake. Facilities mostly clean but a bit dated; note dishwashing sink issues & no loo roll. Electric/water hook-ups usually on pitch.

Good for visiting Great War historical sites.
Electric grass touring pitch
Liked Convenient location. Excellent park adjacent.
Disliked Most of the toilets had neither seats nor lids. 3 of the 4 water taps adjacent to our pitch leaked. Pitches were generally small and it seemed that as many campers as possible were packed into the site.

Electric grass tent pitch
Liked Very friendly staff, excellent spacious pitches, bathrooms very good. Showers good and clean.
Disliked On our very last night, a group of about 8 Adults were playing bowls on the bowls pitch well after 10pm with loud music, this went on well after 11pm and I do believe the Police came onto site. Very unacceptable behaviour, drunken loud adults after 10pm.
