This campsite near Calais proves an excellent stopover for ferry and Channel Tunnel travelers, sitting just 8 km from the port while avoiding the town's drawbacks. The location also grants free public transport to Calais and nearby towns, making it a practical base for exploring the Opal Coast. Pitches are consistently spacious, level, and well-maintained, often including water, drainage, electricity, and even a small shed with a fridge. The swimming pool is pleasant and well-suited for a relaxing dip, especially after a long journey. Staff receive widespread praise for being exceptionally friendly, helpful, and English-speaking, creating a welcoming atmosphere. Cleanliness of washroom facilities is generally good, with cleaners servicing them multiple times daily. However, some guests encountered dated shower and toilet blocks, and one year only part of the block was open with cold water. Electricity can be limited to 6 amps, which may disappoint those needing higher power. The restaurant and snack bar receive mixed reviews: some enjoy the food, while others describe burnt dishes or basic pub fare. The shop is noted as limited in selection, though it improves in later years. Morning noise from departing guests can disrupt peace, but the site overall remains spacious and tranquil. Early-season visitors might find the shop and restaurant hours restricted. Pricing is considered high for the facilities offered, especially given occasional service gaps. The campsite's setting among trees and proximity to the coast enhance its appeal, and many guests extend their stays due to the positive atmosphere. Overall, it delivers a convenient, comfortable stay with notable transport perks, though inconsistencies in dining and basic services temper the value.
