The only good thing I can find to say about this campsite is that it is close to the ferry port at Dunkerque - oh, and it is cheap! Thankfully we had only booked in for 1 night. On arrival (at around 2pm) we found reception closed. After a bit of hunting we found a buzzer and were told to come back in an hour. Not the welcome we were hoping for after a tiring journey over from the UK and very inconvenient as we had left our caravan and car parked just outside the security coded barrier and now had a queue of traffic behind us!
The wait for reception to open gave us the opportunity to investigate the huge sandy beach which was nice enough but surrounded by industrial units and a power station so not exactly stunning!
When we finally managed to check in our pitch was perfectly acceptable, spacious and level. However the site appears to be predominantly long-term residents in mobile homes and does not have a very friendly atmosphere. We made the best of our stay. Unfortunately the kids playground was closed for refurbishment but ours found some open-air exercise machines that they thought were great fun and we made use of the ping-pong table.
The sanitary facilities seemed clean enough but very run-down and certainly not inviting so we did not use them for a shower, opting to wait until we arrived at our next stop. The toilets had no seats and there was no loo paper or soap provided. No entertainment was offered and there were no facilities for eating on site.
Overall I would not recommend this site and would suggest looking for an alternative if you need somewhere to stop close to the ferry port - we found a beautiful site closer to Calais for our return journey.

We only used this site as a one night stopover as it is quite close to the ferries at Calais and Dunkirk and about a 20 minutes drive from Le Shuttle. We arrived around 5pm and were greeted nicely by the receptionists whose English was good. The cost of the pitch was a mere €11 for the night and this included electric, bargain! One thing I was not in favour for was leaving my passport with them overnight as a deposit for the shower key. The showers and toilets were OK and mixed, but they are typically French with no toilet paper or loo seat but they were clean. The site sits right on the beach which was very clean. I would not hesitate to stay here again.

Just returned from this site and had a fantastic stay. The pitch we were allocated was clean and very private due to the hedging all around. The staff were very helpful even to the point of personally showing us where the pitch was rather than just giving us a map.
The washing up, toilet and shower facilities looked brand new and were extremely clean. We were given 12 free showers for a three night stay for two people - more than adequate.
There also was a well organised waste disposal area which was emptied twice during our three night stay.
The location on approach was a bit concerning as the campsite is located at the end of an industrial area. But once in the site a short walk to the beach - fantastic.
Only downside was that the on site shop was not open very much but I think this was due to us being out of season. Not a problem as the village is a short drive or walk along the beach.
Great value for money at only 7 euros per night.

Arrived at round 8.30pm with no reservation wanting 1 nights stay before catching the ferry home. (The site is approx 6 miles away to the port so very handy). They were able to allocate us a large pitch with electric.
There was one large toilet block, no toilet roll or seats and unfortunately when I went for a shower there was no hot water. However, it was all clean - but I wonder if that was because nobody really used it. The majority of pitches were permanent, so I guess they used their own bathrooms.
Site shop with an assortment of souvenirs, plus helpful reception - the reception area/desk was a boat so was very amusing.
There was a bar with stage offering entertainment but we did not go there.
Shop did take-away chips.
Ideal one night stopover before going home, but no somewhere you would want to stay for any longer.

Stopped here on our out going journey to Carnac with our big Outwell Bearlake 4 tent.
5 Euros per night for our large enough pitch without hook up which we were able to choose. Pitch surrounded by hedge - very quiet - clean/tidy. Shower block quite modern and new looking - well maintained. We went to the beautiful beach (directly off the site) and watched the sun go down. As was a flying visit didn't really look at the entertainment or shop. Close to a Super you and a Lidl.
Stopped again on our way back - for 2 nights - the atmosphere had completely changed! Now very busy with other users not being as respectful to the facilities as is expected (no plugs in the sinks so improvising with loo roll etc.) as our stay was a little longer this time we noticed the more tired areas of the site more and noticed no cleaning of the communal areas or washblock had been done during the time we were there (aforementioned wet loo roll fished out and left on the side of sinks etc.) Our pitch this time was less desirable with broken up fibre board fragments littering it which we had to remove. Showers stone cold unless you get up early and got in first. Could not find a fresh cold water point other than outside the reception. Some of the permanent caravans sited there look very pretty with flowers planted etc. - others are a bit of an eyesore, some are derelict and used as a playground by the children.
So all in all - good for a stop over - very reasonable rates, but would drive me nuts if I was there longer.

One year on and things are still just as bad as the previous review.
When we eventually located our pitch, not easy because most of the numbers had eroded, I could have cried because it was so overgrown and pot-holed. Fortunately we were only staying two nights.
We will never use the site again and cannot recommend anyone to use it unless it is very much a 'last resort'.
