Camping Le Bloemstraete is a hidden gem in the French countryside, just a short drive from the Calais ferry ports and the Channel Tunnel, making it an ideal stopover or longer stay destination. The owners, Julie and Nicolas, are consistently praised for their exceptionally warm, friendly, and helpful welcome, often going above and beyond to accommodate late arrivals and provide local advice. Many travelers planned a short stopover but ended up extending their stay because of the welcoming atmosphere. The campsite offers spacious, level, and private pitches separated by tall hedges, with electric hook-ups and drinking water available on many plots. The modern toilet and shower blocks are kept spotlessly clean, though some guests noted the shower water pressure could be low. A standout feature is the option to order fresh bread, pastries, and even homemade pizzas delivered directly to your pitch, which travelers love after a long journey. The site also has a small farm presence with goats, chickens, and other birds that delight children, plus a play area and sports court. The quiet, rural setting ensures peaceful nights with minimal road noise, and it is within walking distance of Renescure village, which has a small supermarket, bar, and restaurant. Guests appreciate the value for money, with reasonable nightly rates including water and electricity. The hosts provide excellent recommendations for local attractions, including WWI battlefields and charming nearby towns like St Omer. Wi-Fi is available only near the main house, not at the pitches, and electric hook-ups are two-pin with lower amperage, so guests may need an adapter, though the owners are happy to lend one. Some guests noted weak shower water pressure, occasional sewage smell, and brambles or nettles around pitch areas. There is no restaurant or food service on site beyond the bread delivery, and the play area was described by one guest as a bit run down. Dogs are welcome, and the hosts, who speak both French and English, are noted for going above and beyond, such as helping with vehicle breakdowns and booking restaurant tables. Overall, the overwhelming sentiment is that the incredibly warm hospitality, peaceful environment, and clean, spacious pitches make this a highly recommended site, offering excellent value, with many guests planning to return on future trips.
