 This is the second time we have used this site as a stopover before returning to the UK. We have a dog and there is a vet in the village who is well versed in the passport requirements. Yes, you will pay over the odds for this site, but having said that it is consistently good. The sanitary blocks are spotless and modern. The staff at reception are friendly and helpful and there are really good facilities for adults and children. There are two good swimming pools, one appears adult only, a really good quality playground for the little ones and games facilities for the older children. We used the take away and restaurant and found it to be good value. They also have cold Ruby Leffe on draught, which we always look forward to. At about 0830, a van comes around the site, beeping its horn, selling really good quality bread and croissants, always served with a friendly smile. The pitches here are quite large and water and power are conveniently nearby. Some pitches slope a bit, but most are fairly level. There is a Carrefour supermarket nearby, with fuel and a giant Auchan store in St. Omer. There are a number of WW2 sites in the area worth seeing and even Bruges and Ypres
Are reachable in a day. Yes, you may pay over the odds for this site, but I don't think you will be disappointed.

First time at this lovely site and will definitely return. Very helpful and welcoming staff, facilities all very clean, spacious pitches, all in all a great site. Just one or two minor moans, none of the pot wash or clothes washing sinks had plugs. Wi-Fi not free but 3 euro for an hour, not bad as we used it over four days just to check e-mails so it lasted well. No shop on site but van calls each morning with bread etc. Just half hour to Calais for ferry makes it a very popular site.

Very accommodating and provided excellent email responses to questions
The reception is great and the on site restaurant was very reasonable and the staff really nice.
The pitch cost is a little high end but I think worth it for the clean facilities.
However (there is always a however) - I needed internet connection as I had some ferry crossing issues to resolve with the Caravan club
Their €3 per hour charge is extortionate and was the main dampener for our stay. €3 per day or €1 per hour would be palatable. Free would be better and is the way forward especially where their charges are already high end.
It is a shame as this is the only thing that let them down from our view. They really need to understand the internet requirements of the modern traveller. I will use the site again but will charge my French Internet 'dongle' with €10 next time as it is cheaper and I would be online for far longer.

Booked this site ahead of time as it was our first stop ahead of a long leg. We liked its informality and it did have some character. The welcome was very friendly. The loos and facilities exceptionally clean with plenty of cubicles, a point we were to miss at sites further down the road. If you have a dog the walk around the site is great. To us this site is a convenient and gentle way of spending your first night in France. The pool bar and restaurant looked very good but weren't open in April of course.

We stayed here on spec in August & September on our return journey. We were greeted in a very friendly and efficient way on both occasions which always helps. (It costs nothing to be nice)We paid 25 euros out & 15 euros on the return (no elec) which we thought a fair price given the facilities available. We can echo other favourable comments about the modern sanitary facilities, they were spotless on both occasions, plenty of hot water. It was a pleasure to wash breakfast dishes in the very clean sinks and not get water everywhere, or spraying into your face from old taps that are hanging off or not adjusted properly! The takeaway was good value & compares well to most other places. It had closed the week before on our return, but there is a Carrefour less than a mile away, so food was no problem. The staff were all very friendly and helpful, and we will stay here again. It's a shame we spent so many other occasions at a certain site outside Calais that could learn a lot from here!

We stayed here on the way home from our 2 week tour of France incl Brittany, Le Mans and Disneyland. I pre-booked it (7eur booking fee - what's all that about??)
And it cost 35eur. Bit steep if you ask me. Dunkirk ferry port is about 25 mins away.
Facilities are ok, the wash block/showers were spotless and showers were nice and hot, even if they only stayed on for 30 seconds! and seemed to be cleaned very regularly.
We asked for a pitch next to the play area so were given a sloping grass pitch behind a wall next to the swimming pool.
We were warned about apples fallen from the nearby apple tree - no idea why these couldn't be cleaned up (flies buzzing and wasps got annoying)
Pool nice and play park / bouncy castle went down a storm.
Didn't try the restaurant and one fellow vanner stated the take away was poor (plastic tasting burger was the phrase.
Would I stay again?
Probably not due to the cost. 35 euros for one night was the most expensive on our trip. Even more than our excellent beach side site in South Brittany (Camping de la Plage) with water slides and hardly any 'British' tourists.

We booked this location for one unit originally but then the family wanted to come along also for the week. We contacted the site via email and they were very friendly and only to happy to accommodate us in our needs (one family member disabled and needing close unit to toilet block and two kids near playground)
Upon arrival we were not disappointed! They had placed us in the ideal location. The toilet facilities were immaculate, and this was pointed out by other visitors to the cleaners when they got the chance! There was always warm water to clean pots pans and wash.
There are two pools, one of which was heated and these were cleaned every night by the camp staff and were kept very neat and tidy.
There was a bar and restaurant on site, which also provided a decent take away service. A little pricey for drinks and so forth, but with the supermarket a 5 min drive down the road we tended to buy a crate of stubbies for 3 euro and this was more that sufficient.
Fresh bread van arrived every morning and it was lovely to have toast off the grill with fresh bread!
The children had a club to go to every day with some sort of organised activity for them and then every evening there was a tournament of some sort on camp.
There was some woods on site ideal for walking the dog / hide and seek and so forth and also a very well stocked kids play park and bouncy castle.
We will be going back again at some point in the future and recommend anyone wanting a short break in France, with not to much driving, visit this location.

We, along with many others, arrived on spec wanting an overnight stop before getting up early-ish for tunnel the next day. We had some problems finding the site due to the postcode not being quite accurate from the Michelin guide.
Yes it is pricy but we had paid a similar price for 'an overnighter' with an much much inferior site the night before. So we didn't quibble. Also due to the fab weather the kids had great fun in the heated pool for a couple of hours so the extra paid was worth it. (the unheated pool naturally was less crowded!)
Toilet facilities were very good and no complaints here. I apologise for my daughter hogging the showers for an inordinant long time but fortunately it seemed to be a quiet time so I hope none were inconvenienced!
Take away food was fine, prices seemed usual. We didn't use the bar- it did seem as though that this is does get busy with families and groups but we weren't bothered about any noise. Just one thing though, if I had been wanting a lie in I probably would be cursing the bread wagon for pipping his horn at 9am! Never actually saw it though otherwise we wouldve partaken.
We would definitely use and recommend this site again

We called in here after making good time for the return to Dover the next day. After recovering from the shock of the price, 29 euros for one night, given that we were typically paying no more than 15 euros prior to this, we were shown to a spacious grass pitch. I suppose I should not have been surprised by the price as this is fairly typical of these type of commercial sites and it has to be put into perspective that this equates to about £23 which you could easily pay in the UK at peak period. I can not really fault the site, the facilities were modern and clean and there was a designated motorhome service point. The hot water in the morning for the showers was close to being lukewarm, in comparison to my previous site at St Florentin, where I paid 12 euros and the water was scalding. The site appears to be popular with the Brits and is ideally sited for the channel ports, particularly Dunkirk. It does provide entertainment for the kids and there is a complex of pools together with restaurant and bars, but not cheap. A baker's van comes around in the morning. There is also a supermarket within 15 minutes. We used the opportunity to visit the WW2 V2 blockhouse which is within 10minutes cycling distance. Would I stay here again, at 29 euros, the answer is no but it does participate in the Camping Cheque scheme where you pay 15 euros in the low season and at this price I would stay.

Stayed here a couple of years ago, so decided to stay again for the last 2 nights of our holiday.
I was surprised to find hardly half full, even though weather was good. Pitches are a good size with tap and toilets/showers very good.
However perhaps lack of customers was down to price - €72 for 2 nights (3 people & elec). Also I thought the bar was expensive €6 for a fanta & half litre of larger.
Kids were running round the perimeter shouting and screaming until 10pm which was rather annoying. I know this can happen anywhere, but I didn't expect it from this site which has had such good reviews in the past.
That said, it is a lovely site and the staff are very friendly. But I don't think we'll stay again due to the price.

My wife, me and the dog) stayed at this campsite on our very first motorhome experience last year on our way into France.
The experience last year was so good, that we opted to stay again this year for two nights on our way back from France. On arrival it was pouring down, but we where greeted very well by a pleasant english speaking woman. Nothing out of the ordinary very good modern toilet blocks, good pitches.
However this time we didn't see much of the site and had to leave early. We couldn't leave a message as the reception wasn't open, but the reason for us having to forgo our second day which we paid for and may be something others want to think about is on arrival around 3 0'clock in the afternoon loud booms and I mean loud bangs where coming from an what I think was an adjacent field, these continued into the night and into the early morning (I guess 2 AM) apart from the obvious sleeping thing, our poor dog was having a nightmare and in a fugue state shaking and panting to an unacceptable level.
I think it was one the farmers and couldn't see the camp site being involved - but whatever the cause it was consistent and not acceptable - so the warning is if you have a pet or yourself who reacts to very (and I mean very) loud bangs then ask first - these happened on the day and night of the 7th and 8th June. I'm sure others will have heard them. My ratings therefore are based on not seeing much of the site or the area.

Great site for travelling to and from ports
Booked for one night but arrived a night early, no problem with staying for the extra night. Pitches very wet due to rain but site staff tried hard to give a pitch that we could get on and off without difficulty. Facilities were fine, a modern toilet block at one end, older one at the other. There was a pool which looked nice but we did not use. Quiet at night despite being quite full.
Good supermarket very close and hypermarket only 15mins away.
Will be using again

This is a good quality, relaxed site which we have used twice this year for stopovers, late August when we paid around 33 euros which we felt was expensive and again late September when we used camping cheque and paid a much more reasonable 15 euros [2 adults, 2 dogs].
There is a wide range of facilities all of which are well maintained and the shower block was extremely clean. Our pitch was slightly on a slope but generous in size. Wi-Fi is prohibitively expensive. Plenty of children's' activities.
There is a very good vet in nearby Ardres which we have used several times. We took a trip to the lovely beach at Wissant which was around 20miles away but excellent for the dogs to let off steam. On site there is just a smallish woodland walk for the dogs.
We did find the roadworks near the site rather tiresome as it meant quite a lengthy diversion and have decided that next time we will stay at La Bien Assise at Guines purely because the site is more handy for the port/vet/beach.
Would have no hesitation in recommending the site.

Stayed here overnight on our way home and used a Camping Cheque. Nice overall site, easy check in. Did not need to book this time of year as plenty of free pitches. Lovely setting and only 20 minutes on a direct route to Dunkirk ferry port. This was a low season stopover, but restaurant still open, which is a bonus as most campsite restaurants tend to be closed at this time of year. Good showers/loos/washing up facilities and washing machines. Plenty of hot water. We had pitch 36 which was slightly sloping and very spacious, next to two pitches which were static caravans. A bit pricey for September at around 22 Euros per night for 2 people with electric, but cheaper with camping cheques 15 Euros.

We only stayed at this site for one night this time on our way back to the port This is a really lovely site, with friendly owners. A very clean and very modern wash block with all the usual facilities. The bar and restaurant is very homely and comfortable with a log fire and good waitress service. The food is all local fare, traditional tasty northern French food. We had the beef flamande carbonade which is peculiar to the region and it was beautiful. I would definitely recommend this site, we use it as a quick weekend getaway and as a last stop before home on our main holiday. We like to have 2 or 3 days there if we can.
