Came and stayed overnight at this campsite at the start of my France and Germany camping trip this year, and returned to stayed for a few nights before returning to the UK.
Very friendly and helpful staff, and the facilities were well-kept, except perhaps the bin and recycling area.
More signage would be helpful to indicate what the big bins were for. One of the two big bins, the grey one, which I took was for recycling, did not have a lid (broken) and was not very sightly with lots of flies about.
There was a basic shop that sell some provisions, cold drinks and ice creams. Orders were taken for baguettes, croissants and pain au chocolate for collection the next morning, probably from the bakery up the road.
The owners also ran the restaurant on site serving a basic menu including pizzas and steak hache with chips and salads etc.
There was a swimming pool and was well-used during the heatwave! The cold drinks and ice creams were much needed too.
There were shops such as a bakery, a bar/brassarie up the road, and also a small Carrefour supermarket with a fuel station. Not many parking spaces and it could be a tight squeeze for a big motorhome!
The steak American I had at the bar/brassarie was not what I had expected which would be a steak tartare sandwich. The one at this restaurant was 2 cooked steak hache patties divided and placed in a baguette! My fault for wrongly assumed it would be the same as the ones I had in Belgium, DOH!
I went to the lady vet up the road, Swalduz Isabelle for my dog's return to UK worming treatment. Just walk-in's with no appointment required. She was excellent, very patient with my dog that did not like the smell of medicines, and helped to bury 3 small tablets in the very ripe Camembert that I bought with me. She had cheeses herself too. He swallowed the tablets in 3 small chunks of Camembert, result, PHEW!
I believe the vet only took cash based on the sign I saw on the door. Arrived at about 18:10 and there were a cat and a dog already waiting in the reception area (not for return worm treatment). We were seen by 18:45. AHC signed and stamped with no issue - she knew what she was doing. Based on the number of UK-registered units at the campsite, I concluded she must have administered worming treatments quite often for pets returning to the UK!
The pitches were big, some with hedges in between. Apparently there was a dog walk nearby, however, it was too hot to venture out for long, which resulted in an earlier than planned departure which was a shame.
However, I have planned to return to this campsite as I liked it, and more importantly, for ease of worming treatment for the dog before we return to the UK!
All in all, a good stay sadly cut short by the adverse weather condition!
We used this site in 2017 for 2 nights. This year just 1.
Not so impressed this time. Water in dishwashing area luke warm/cold. Certain areas needed more tlc. The recycling area was a mess which much rubbish just abandoned.
It’s a pity as it is well located for bus and train and in close proximity to Reims. The town has very little to offer apart from a small Carrefour with fuel station.
Stayed here 1 night on our way back north, they are in the ACSI discount scheme.
Enjoyed our stay more this time, probably due to the hot sunny weather.
We chose a pitch along the riverside fence as the grass was better there, but realised that there is a footpath on the other side of the fence so people were walking past with dogs etc.
We enjoyed a swim in the pool though there is no changing room nearby. And had a walk round the town and by the river, which was very pleasant.
Been here a few times, we use it as a handy stopover when travelling. Staff friendly, and helpful.
This year they'd had a lot of rain just before our arrival, so the grass was sodden. We were allocated a pitch proper, but vans arriving after us had to parallel park on the tarmac next to their pitch, which significantly narrowed the road.
Toilet facilities were limited with one block closed, but everything was spotlessly clean. Good laundry facilities.
Anyway, the site is a 5 minute walk to the train station where you can catch a train to Reims. The city is well worth a visit, but you can also transfer here for Paris, making it handy for exploring.
There's a bar on site and a restaurant selling homemade pizza.
The supermarket is a 5 min walk from the site, but there is also an excellent bakershop close to the site.
We stayed on this site for a one night stopover before heading to the Eurotunnel. Very easy access from the A26 motorway less than 10 minutes drive away which is a plus point re location.
A bit of confusion in our mind over the closing date but they told us this year it was the end of October not September as stated in some publications. Further some guides including the excellent ACSI guide state they have motorhome pitches. This is incorrect as you have to select a grass pitch along with everyone else. Not good in early October but we managed to find one that was not too muddy.
The site itself has 2 facilities blocks but one was closed. The main issue we could see was the limited number of toilets considering this is a site with 100 pitches and they provide no loo paper which is unusual in the North of France. The washing and showers looked OK albeit a bit basic but keep clean. As we mainly use these facilities in our motorhome we were not too concerned.
A motorhome service point near the reception is very good and includes a Chemical Toilet emptying facility (once you get to work out how the cover flap works which required a bit of joint anglo-german effort). The site is quite open with not many hedges or trees and sometimes floods which we assumed was the reason for the facilities, reception and mobile homes being on the top terrace.
In conclusion this is a handy stopover if heading north or south on the A26 and we will probably use it again but only in the summer months.
Our 3rd stay at this lovely site, we have used at this site 3 times for our last couple of days before crossing the Channel as the village has a pop in Vet, great for getting the dogs Tapeworm treatment before returning to UK.
Doesn't speak English but she knows exactly what to do, €27 for the visit.
The site is well laid out with very spacious pitches, with good views out to the river. Toilet block is fairly basic but nice and clean. Fresh bread can be ordered at reception.
There are good walks along the river directly from the site or longer walks along the nearby canal.
Carrefour supermarket in the village with fuel and a lovely bakery on the main street.
We needed an overnight stop in the area so chose this site from the ACSI book, they give the discount, and it's easy to find from the Autoroute.
However as it is at the highest price rate I was expecting something special. We were disappointed.
It's a perfectly good campsite, next to a river, in a very small town with few interesting features. Separate sex facilities which I prefer, but not many of them.
Very clean, the cleaners were doing a thorough job in the outside washing up area. The pitches had grass, we hadn't seen much further south, but some were very worn, and a heavy shower turned those into a mud bath. Dark at night, you need a torch.
Didn't try the pool but noticed an (old?) sanitary block adjacent which would be handy for changing.
Not a lot in town, except a rather nice bakery not far from the site.
Liked: peace and quiet, space and greenery. No hard stand pitches, soggy grass only.
Disliked: Luke warm showers, heating in block, no soap in basins, record breaking price for a campsite (£29 a night!) yet minimal facilities.
Guignicourt is an unremarkable village with a lack of decent eateries or shopping. The only quality restaurant is a mile or so away but is very pricey.
