Hi,
I'm trying to remember the name/location of a campsite we've stayed on several times for overnight stops en-route southwest in France. Does anyone recognise this description:

North West France within striking distance of (but not close to) Calais.
It's in a town which you drive through slightly and turn right to the campsite.
Small/medium size.
It's alongside a lake/canal/river.
Always has ducks.
Has a very small restaurant near the entrance.
Relatively segregated pitches.

????



Don't forget to leave a review of the French and other European campsites you have visited!

Sound a little like Camping Aux Cygnes d`Opale at Blangy sur Bresle.

Ah well, if you had posted a review on UKCS you could check your profile as the site review would be there & you’d know for sure. It’s the only way I can confirm somewhere we went to years ago.

I agree. I also keep a notebook so that I can do a review when I return. I also have receipts from stays for a number of years - as a cost comparison really. Sad, I know!

Freedom is a light caravan and an open road.

Could it be Camping Neuville near Le Mans? I haven't been there yet, but will be going in a couple of weeks time. The description seems to fit.

I think you could be right; Thank You.
In the online photos it's not quite familiar but it is a few years since we stayed there.

Again, thank you.

This is a little further from Calais than I recall we travelled.
Looks good, hope you enjoy it.

I too keep receipts from Camping Holidays but I'm struggling to find one that rings a bell for that site. Usually my memory is sufficient but now I'm getting older ... nothing works so well!

As regards JoannaLesley's suggestion, "if you had posted a review on UKCS you could check your profile as the site review would be there & you’d know for sure." ... We always tour when in France and have visited every year for years (until the pandemic) so a LOT of sites. Also as we only stay a couple of days or so it doesn't seem fair to offer reviews.

Hi. Would it have been Pont De L'Arche, near Rouen? The site is called Camp Eure and is on the D6015.

We have been touring in France for over 20 years, seldom stay at any site for more than 1 night, and I always review.

Do 1 or 2 a night, it only needs a few brief notes. Then I save it in my virtual brochure and can recall the site any time.

My thought too. And if it wasn’t, the site is worth trying anyway. Has a heated indoor pool now.

I think I said,
"North West France within striking distance of (but not close to) Calais."
Not that Calais was North West!!
