Don't forget to leave a review of the campsites you have visited this year or last!
Can't offer info on campsite specifically, but have been to Jersey many times over the years.
Some comments:
Jersey used to be relatively cheap compared to UK mainland (no vat), but in the last 5 years prices have shot up to at least the same as UK mainland.
Standards and quality of service everywhere we found to be excellent.
Very stringent regulations regarding touring 'vans on Jersey. You virtually need a police escort to / from the ferry to site. VITAL you check on this. Suggest phoning the site or Tourist Info Office in St Helier.
we went last year and to be honest we wont be rushing back!! lovely friendly site owners but a bit of a faulty towers campsite ( didn't really have clue about what people wanted in a site) -tents are very close together not even room for a car in between! , facilities and tents very tired and we had to move tent three times in a week due to leaks, faulty equipment etc. Shame really as could be a gold mine lovely area, and with a bit of TLC could be great.
Whilst there we visited the other sites ( to ave a nosey as you do) and although more expensive the facilities were excellent at Rozel - they also do pre -erected tents.
We also went to Guernsey and Fauxquett valley campsite- it was one of the best campsites we have stayed in in pre -erected tents in over twenty years of camping.
re the touring they really didnt have much room at blue soliel -it looks a lot bigger on their website than it really is - with a tourer I would try Beuvelande campsite -lovely flat pitches which were well marked , when we went to have look there was a C&C club rally there of about 50 vans and there was stiil loads of nice pitches left.

Hope this helps
I have been looking at the Fauxquett Valley as well, would you say the pre-eracted tents are newer, or just better looked after then at Bleu Soliel.
------------- Had to give up the camping due to the rubbish Weather and Wind, so got myself a campervan!
hi the whole site is much better - the tents are both newer and better looked after (i.e are fully pegged, out fully equipped have, no rips or leaks etc etc !! and the facilities are very good - very well organised and spacious south facing pitches, cleaner showers etc, good swimming pool games room etc.
However if you fancy do Jersey not Guernsey then Rozel is very good also. For myself I prefered Guernsey - more character and less commercialised and a day trip to Herm from Guernsey is a must.

Thanks this is good information, we visited Guernsey just for a day off a cruise we did last summer, and just loved it, we have a dog, and thought it would make an ideal place to take her.
