We stayed at the chateau at Bertangles for 2 nights & really enjoyed our stay. We booked in advance & were given a grassed pitch, hedged on 2 sides for privacy. The campsite is in the chateau's orchard, which in itself was very pretty & the trees offered welcome shade too.

The shower/ toilets/ washing up areas were all clean & well maintained. There was also a small children's play area.

The reception was open on 3 occasions each day & sold wine, milk, the estates own walnuts & Picardy honey. I believe a bread van also visited, but we didn't use this.

We joined an evening chateau tour ( at €5 per adult) which was good & conducted in English & French.

The village of Bertangles was v pretty, but the only downside was that it was a bit remote. We'd hoped to get a bus into Amiens, but as it was during the French holiday season there was only one running from Bertangles at 7am with no return bus. However, we took our camper into Amiens & found good parking in the St Leu area.

Overall it was a lovely site & we really enjoyed our 2 very relaxing nights there.

On the basis of the extremely positive reviews, we booked 2 nights for 2 adults and a tent (no electricity) for €15/night. It's definitely worth pre-booking as this guaranteed a delineated, reserved pitch. We saw late arrival caravans pitched on the road outside the site!

The site is spacious and well kept and all toilet and wash facilities were clean with plenty of hot water. However a chemical waste emptying area seemed just a little too close to the crockery washing area! Two separate cubicles are reserved for physically challenged individuals.

Don't miss the €5/adult guided tour of the chateau at 5:30pm each evening (payment and tour start at reception). It's a wonderful opportunity to see inside (still lived in) and to hear of it's role within WW1. It transpired that the guide was the owner himself who provided the commentary in English!

The village cafe/bar provided a very pleasant diversion after the chateau visit for a Kir and draught Affligem strawberry flavoured beer: excellent.

We spent our available 1 day as tourists visiting Amiens (the cathedral is amazing), Albert (Excellent museum giving insight into WW1 history and Somme battlefields: http://www. Somme-trench-museum. Co. Uk/) and some of the cemeteries and memorials.

We would definitely return to this site both for convenience as a last stop before channel crossing and to stay longer and have a longer immersion in local history and culture.

We stayed here with our caravan for two nights to experience France on the 14th July Bastille Day celebrations at the start of our holiday.

We were not disappointed. The site was easy to find, well signposted and very well laid out. The pitches were large, ours being a hedged one giving nice privacy and plenty of room for the caravan, awning and car. Most of the pitches were like this with a few being open but still having a large pitch. We also had an electricity point and water tap close by.

The facilities were spotlessly clean and the lady at reception very helpful and put up with my very poor French. She invited us to join in with the village celebrations for 14th July and we joined the Mayor and a lot of villagers in a ceremony at the war memorial at lunchtime, followed by free wine and cake at the village cafe. We were also invited to the evening lantern procession around the streets which ended with a firework display at the village school.

We didn't hear any road noise and the site was quiet and very peaceful. All in all a lovely start to our holiday.

This is an excellent site in a really pretty location. The pitches were well marked out for our arrival as we like others on previous reviews had booked beforehand.

The facilities were clean although we found the water was not always hot when washing up and the electric hook up cut off in the evening once everyone had plugged into the points.

Our french is quite limited and the lady who booked us in spoke no english, this was not to much of a problem as we had booked.

A really small and quiet site with good size pitches which allowed our three year old to play ball and run around safely. We would return here again in the future.

We booked this campsite in advance, which meant we had one of the hedged pitches and our name was attached to the reserve post prior to our arrival. We think non-booked pitches are those in a more open area near the entrance, opposite the toilet block, which seemed to accommodate the late comers. The lady who checked us in spoke no English but was very pleasant and efficient. The bureau sells wine and beverages but no groceries. A bread van calls at 8. 00 am every morning. The site has around 33 pitches with a mix of ‘vans, caravans and tents and is immediately next to a chateau. Guided tours in French and English take place in the evening at 5. 30 pm for 5 Euros, during the summer months.

The site is very attractive, with mature trees and a modern toilet and services block that is kept spotlessly clean. The site was busy during our stay but the facilities were never crowded. There is electric hook-up, and the shared posts also provide night lamps. A long lead is advised. The site is gated at 10. 00 pm. A bell in the nearby church chimes the hours but very gently. The site is within the village, which has an interesting variety of residential buildings. The church and chateau provide historical focuses. The village square only offers a café/bar and a bus stop. On the Wednesday of our stay there was a vegetable stall near the bus stop. We took the number 50 bus into the commercial centre, a vast out-of-town shopping area, and then a number 9 into Amiens, but we had problems returning. After waiting for the number 50 bus for an hour or so, we learned that this bus does not officially run during the holiday period and we ended up getting al lift back to the site in a bus-company mini bus that had been hired by others. There is parking for ‘vans at St Leu in Amien, so driving there is probably a better option.

Apart from Amiens Cathedral, apparently the largest in France, there is the pedestrianised area of St Leu with its riverside cafes and restaurants. There are pleasant walks from the site and easy cycling. The site is dog friendly and there is a small play area for children. We stayed three nights and felt very comfortable and at ease there, despite the weather, which was mainly overcast, cool and showery. I would readily return to this site. The pitch with electric hook-up cost 18 Euros for two people per night.

What can I say that hasn't already been said? I agree with all the other reviews.

This site is a little gem! Pre booking is a MUST as very busy for overnight stops as close to ferry and tunnels. It was about 1 1/2 drive at 75 to tunnel.

The only negative is the site has lots of mice! It hasn't been mentioned before, but I'm presuming that you wouldn't notice in a caravan especially if you are on a stop over (like most people) or if you are pitching in the middle as more 'traffic'. We were at the bottom by the road and saw several mice in the pitch marker hedges and also in the front of our tent!(luckily we have a separate porch bit where we cooked to our main bathtub living area). These mice did amuse our 3yr old but hygiene precautions are needed especially in a tent!

Would I stay again? YES
