We are travelling from the south back to Calais in August and need a campsite for one night stay but as we have two children (5 & 6) and we will be on our way home from holiday we need somewhere really nice and special so we don't get depressed at going home :(

Can anyone recommend somewhere really special?

We will be in a touring caravan, we don't want a disco or anything like that, we prefer a quiet picturesque site, perhaps with a little playground but that's all we need really.

Any suggestions??

  HI Happy days

   Try this one camping municipal Guignicourt, 2nd or 3rd exit after reims. We have stayed here many times, the site is now privatly owned since last year. Its situated on the banks of a river and a two minute walk into small town, where there is a supermarket and petrol.

  The toilets and showers are very clean and quite modern, there is a small play ground and the site is fenced, [approx waist height] from the river, which you can access via a small gate.

  It really is a nice place, if you decide to try it as you go through the small town you will come to a cross roads after this keep looking rihgt about 200yds for sign. Do not be put off by aproach road it looks like you might get stuck, but you will be ok.

  The new owners seemed very nice and i am sure they will have been improving the place.

 Happy holidays

  Steve

02190 GUIGNICOURT? Calais 2 and a half hours away?? or have I got the wrong site.

I suspect someone might come up with Gandspette, St Omer.  Though I personally wouldn't call it special

http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/sites/reviews.asp?revid=5506 .  This is the chateau de Gandspette site referred to above and is the most popular site for Brits travelling to and fro Calais.    It is O.K. for your last night but can be mucky if wet.

Lovely site at Condette, about 3/4 hour from Calais.

We stop here each year on our way home.
