Nestled just a stone’s throw from Calais, this small, family-run campsite is a dream stopover for Channel Tunnel and ferry travelers. From the moment you arrive, the owners welcome you with genuine warmth, often sharing homegrown fruit or a friendly chat. The site sparkles with meticulous cleanliness—sanitary blocks are scrubbed and maintained to an immaculate standard. Pitches are spacious, level, and many boast hardstanding surfaces that stay dry even in wet weather. Full service pitches include water, waste drainage, and electric hookups, making life easy for touring caravans and motorhomes. A serene fishing lake adds a touch of charm, while a grassy area with football goals, boules, and table tennis keeps kids entertained. Despite its proximity to major transport links, the campsite remains gloriously quiet and peaceful, ensuring a restful night. The atmosphere here is intimate and friendly, with a loyal following of guests who return year after year. However, be prepared for a few French quirks: showers require a €1 token for a timed flow, and toilet paper may not be provided—bring your own supplies. The entrance is narrow, so larger rigs need careful maneuvering, but most manage fine. The main wash block has only one shower, which can create a morning queue. There is no on-site shop, bar, or restaurant, but a nearby village offers a mini market and bakeries. A casual lakeside burger stand provides a handy eat-out option. The site operates on cash only, so stock up on euros before arriving. While the token system and tight access cause minor fuss, the overwhelming consensus is that the friendly vibe, pristine condition, and excellent value make this a beloved choice for channel hoppers. It's a place where thoughtful details—like a secure gravel area for bicycles—show the owners truly care. For a simple, welcoming pit stop that punches above its weight, this campsite delivers every time.
