Hautefort, Dordogna, Francia
Piazzola YE4 su erba con elettricità (4 persone)
Mi è piaciuto The perfect place to spend 5 days of hot French summer.
A handful of pitches, surrounded by views of fields and Hautefort chateau. Our pitch was under the shade of the the willow tree, where we we greeted by cows from the neighbouring field on several morning - before being presented with a basket of fresh boulangerie items (probably the best croissants in France!).
The carefully maintained pool and outdoor shower were a welcome relief after mornings/afternoons exploring. We enjoyed road cycling (also lots of off-road routes available) and footpaths, including on the old railway line and through the Boisseuilh railway tunnel. Hautefort chateau (5km walk via quiet road/footpath) is well worth a visit- and there are a handful of bars/restaurants in the picturesque town (Saturday evening was surprisingly quiet, but if you want to eat any day booking is recommended).
Delicious, excellent value evening meals also available on request at Belle Vue, cooked by Cal and served by Simon in the old cow barn, local wine available too. They are wonderfully welcoming and helpful, on hand for local tips such as local markets worth visiting (Excideuil 20 mins drive away -Thursdays).

Dal gestore: Thank you for your very kind words about your stay with us; it was lovely to meet you both and a pleasure to look after you. We are very lucky to be in a beautiful area, close to nature and lots of things to see and do. Of course, it's great to be in a peaceful area but never too far from all of the things that this area offers. We are so pleased that you valued our hard work in keeping everything just right and it was wonderful to hear of your experiences...which all adds to the "tapestry" that is Camping Belle Vue. We very much hope that we will see you again but, for the meantime, we send all good wishes.
Mouliherne, Maine e Loira, Francia
Piazzola su erba con elettricità facoltativa
Mi è piaciuto A wonderful site, a warm welcome and so many thoughtful touches- from the bathrooms (camping luxury!), to the well stocked camp kitchen with local (eg honey) and home grown produce available. We made use of the day bed and mister, and loved the hammocks too. Plenty of shade too.
Bakery in the local village (great pain aux raisin and croissants), also a bar and post office and small shop.

Polstead, Suffolk, Inghilterra
Piazzola roulotte/camper su terreno battuto con elettricità
Mi è piaciuto Good sized pitches, we were on one with hedges making it feel nice and private- it was also very convenient for the facilities which were warm and clean. WiFi available but we didn’t use it. We were offered a choice of pitches on arrival- very welcoming and friendly service.
Convenient for bus stop on main road, the pub over the road was also handy for a drink (we were a bit dubious given some reviews, but we had no issues and it was busy with a good atmosphere).
Lots of footpaths for walking and exploring Suffolk towns and villages. Would recommend The White Horse pub at Edwardstone for food and drink.

Bailleul, Nord, Francia
Piazzola camper su erba e terra con elettricità facoltativa
Mi è piaciuto Convenient site for getting tunnel home (about an hour drive to Calais). Nice facilities and plenty of them, we were only there for one night but the site was full and we didn’t have to wait at all to use toilets/showers.
The site is about a 15 min cycle away from nearby town Bailleul, which has bakeries, bars and impressive belfry.
Tip- We arrived about 2.30pm so there was a bit of a queue to check in. Reception/shop opens at 9am just to be aware if ordering bread and have an early departure.

Whitby, Nord Yorkshire, Inghilterra
Piazzola roulotte/camper su ghiaia con elettricità facoltativa
Mi è piaciuto The site’s location between Whitby and Robin Hoods Bay was ideal for us. There is a convenient bus stop with regular buses running in both directions which we made use of. Lots of footpaths and easy to get onto the Cleveland way and Cinder Track.
The local pub, The Hare and Hounds was pleasant and food looked good.
The pitches were a good size, well maintained hardstanding and close to the shower/toilet/washing facilities. We also had a sea view from our pitch.
Lovely warm showers and well heated toilet block.
You pay for electricity by top up cards bought at reception - we have a vw campervan with a small fridge, usb charging and used a hairdryer and low voltage kettle, we bought £5 credit but used less than £1 over 2 nights.

Forges-les-Eaux, Senna-Marittima, Francia
Piazzola 6-amp su erba con elettricità
Mi è piaciuto Friendly staff who spoke good English.
Spacious, level pitches - separated by hedges. We had electric (6amp) directly on pitch. Facilities were clean and plenty of them.
There is a pleasant footpath from the site so you can reach the town in under 15 mins (past some goats and chickens). It is an attractive town with history, some beautiful old buildings and public gardens, and is adorned with colourful hanging baskets. We found the local tabac and enjoyed drinks outside (Monday aft/eve in August). At least 2 bakeries were open in the morning for coffee and pastries.
An idea stop over in our way to Calais - approx 2hr drive.

Condes, Jura, Francia
Piazzola su erba con elettricità
Mi è piaciuto Decent size pitches with lake view, in a beautiful location - good for cycling.
Pleasant walk up the hill through the village to an organic goat farm where you can buy their produce including cheese.
Clean facilities.
Straightforward check-in.
Able to order bread on site for morning.
Non mi è piaciuto The facilities appear to be undergoing renovation, so will potentially improve shortly but whilst we were there (end July 2023) it seemed there were only 2 showers in use (warm and powerful) in the old sanitary block at the far end of the site. We didn’t actually have to wait and it wasn’t an issue as we only stayed one night.

Renescure, Nord, Francia
Piazzola su erba con elettricità facoltativa
Mi è piaciuto Small, quiet campsite with good pitch sizes (privacy from hedges) and well maintained and clean modern amenities.
Perfect location for Calais and close to pleasant town Cassel. Also the village itself, Renescure is in walking distance, though we didn’t visit this time.
The owners are very friendly, welcoming and helpful. Check in straightforward and option to get fresh bread delivered to your pitch in the morning (excellent bread and pastries and lots of choice).
There are also 2 delightful goats, chickens and birds.

Piazzola roulotte/camper su terreno battuto con elettricità

Hot showers, clean facilities.
Our pitch (81) was very convenient for toilet block and washing up.
Easy self check in
Non mi è piaciuto Couldn’t find the recycling (where the sign was there only seemed to be one big bin that had all rubbish in)

Piazzola su erba con elettricità
Mi è piaciuto Lovely site just outside the town walls of Navarranx. Friendly reception, well maintained and cleaned facilities. Good size, level pitches with shade. Electricity and Wi-Fi on pitches. Great pool, on-site pizza and frites, and quirky bar area (caravan-bar). Grocery van visits once a week. 5 minute walk to a bakery, and into the beautiful old town (spectacular town walls, arsenal, gun powder store) where there are a few lovely bars and restaurants. We were lucky to be there when there was a night farmers market- great food, drink and ambience. The municipal outdoor pool (looks very modern) is right next door (just remember your speedos as not shorts allowed!), and there are tennis courts in the moat!

Banbury, Oxfordshire, Inghilterra
Piazzola 10-amp su erba con elettricità
Mi è piaciuto Modern facilities block, close to quintessential village with 2 good pubs. Loads of great footpaths nearby and easy to walk to other villages (with more good pub stops), also very close to canal and walks along towpath.
The pitches are in a large field with loads of hook ups and convenient drinking water supply.
There is a rough track leading to a few of the pitches which we were advised to use but currently no hard standing option (this is completely clear on the website so if you book here you know what you’re getting). It was muddy, so wellies/boots are essential, but that’s to be expected in February on grass pitches after heavy rain and a storm in its way!
Some lovely Pygmy goats and alpacas to spot.
Good communication from owner, checked in by text but available if anything needed.
The high speed trains didn’t really bother us (fairly regular tooting) but might disturb you more if you’re in a tent.

Worcester, Worcestershire, Inghilterra
Piazzola camper su ghiaia con elettricità facoltativa
Mi è piaciuto Scenic location. Small site with friendly feel.
Good pub serving food and ales, with lovely beer garden- we were lucky to have glorious weather to enjoy it! The ‘shop at the top’ on site also sells a good range of deli items and essentials, and serve pizzas on a weekend.
Clean and modern facilities- toilets close to the pitches, showers next to pub.
The birds in the aviary (which is at the end of the beer garden and so next to the campsite) were a little noisy early in the morning. We were only stopping one night though so it wasn’t a problem - but just be prepared for the cockerel wake up call!
