 Camping du Velodrome is located next to a leisure park behind Albert. As has been mentioned, the reception and sanitation block are a bit shabby and in need of an overhaul.
You can choose your own pitches which are on grass and are of mixed sizes and mixed shade, we were lucky to find one that had shade for most of the day when temperatures were around 38°C! The EHU and water points are adjacent to the pitches. Larger units may have access problems or trouble finding a big enough pitch.
The site has a small snack bar which was only open at the weekends.
For provisions there was a Super you on the main road into town, an ALDI at the entrance to town and a larger Intermarché on the outskirts. The town itself has plenty of restaurants, cafes and other shops. We found the restaurants were closed on Sunday evenings.
Albert itself has a rich history associated with the Battle of the Somme, there is a very good underground museum, a stunning basilica and lots of memorials for the battle. While we were there, a concert was held in the public gardens by the band of the Royal Irish Regiment. The town and site get busy around the commemorations of the commencement of the battle of the Somme on 1st July.
The site is a good base for many of the war graves in the area.

Gorgeous pitches, very green with hedging and trees giving privacy. Excellent WIFI. Close to town centre, friendly staff.
The reception area was pretty shabby: not a good first impression.
The toilet block, albeit clean, was in need of a BIG overhaul: dark, gloomy, old, uninviting.
I really wish it was a better experience as we loved Albert itself (would recommend Le Bristrot for a morning coffee) but the facilities were just too grim for me.

Very convenient for visiting WW1 Somme battlefields. A clean, quiet and well run site.
Plenty of large flat pitches with EHU and water close by.
Good toilet, shower facilities.
Lovely lake next door and a ten minute walk into the town centre.
Easy access and well-signposted. Supermarkets close by. Daily bread delivery.
Recommended. Would not hesitate to return to this site.
Very helpful and pleasant lady on reception.

I've been to this site twice before and saw no good reasons not to go again. The reception ladies were helpful and between our "Franglais" managed to have a pleasant chat. I'd already driven in and picked a pitch as I arrived at lunchtime.
I used the ACSI card and got a €17 rate which, even with the less than positive comments I'd seen, was good value.
The pitch provided some shelter, had moderate privacy, EHU and water. A motorhome service area is also available in the motorhome only pitches; I'd suggest the other areas are better.
Toilets and showers were a bit dowdy but nontheless functional and as expected for €17!
A good site for access to WW1 Somme monuments, the museum in Albert and a good train service to Amiens for a change of scenery. If you like cuckoos, lots of their calling in late June!

We have visited this site a couple of times over the years, on this occasion it looked like some money had been spent on the facilities, .
Walking at our pensioners pace it takes about 15 mins to walk to the town centre. Once in the centre there are a good few places to eat, a few shop's and a very good museum depicting life in the trenches during the first world war.
This site is central to most of the places of interest in the battle of the somme. On our second night there was one hell of a thunderstorm the site and pitches stood up to the deluge very well, if we ever return to the Somme we would not hesitate to call again.

Stayed here with group of friends from Burstner UK Owners Club.
The site has basic facilities showers with excellent hot water, washing up ditto, unisex toilets and some pitches are sloping. But perfectly acceptable.
The surrounding area is excellent for dog walking and cycling. Albert is a 10 minute walk away with museums, shops, cafes and restaurants and mainline station to Amiens and Arras.
We had 2 conducted tours around the battlefields which were organised by the tourist information centre in Albert.

Stayed here for 3 nights. Site is easy to find and well signed and on arrival we were greeted by a man and his daughter who spoke some English. They showed us where to pitch as we wanted to get a satellite signal and told us to go to reception at 5pm to pay. Cost for 3 nights inc electric was 58 euros.
The pitches are grass with low hedging around them and plenty of trees, and the site was well kept and clean. There is a mobile bread van comes every day so you can buy fresh bread. I can’t comment on the showers as we didn’t use them.
The town of Albert is a 15min walk and has a few shops and a square where you can get a drink, and of course the Somme Museum. As you come into the town there is an Aldi supermarket and plenty of fuel stations.
There is a vet a 20min walk from the campsite where we got our dog’s pet passports done, they are called Delroisse-Petitprez Veronique, address 16 Chemin d’Authuille, 80300, Albert, phone +33 3 2275 1665. There is some kind of nature walk and fishing lakes as you turn left out of the site which we didn’t use. We would definitely stay here again.

Nice municipal site, good size pitch and good facilities. Town is a pleasant walk away we arrived on a Sunday so everything was closed apart from one nice bar/restaurant.
Big advantage for us was the close proximity to the Thiepval memorial which was one reason for picking this site. Will be more than happy to use this site when next in this area

We stayed here for four nights and found the site ideally situated for visiting WW1 memorials and sites. Whilst agreeing with the previous comments about the facilities, we would certainly use this site again for its location. There are large supermarkets on the way in to Albert and a baker calls daily-there is also an excellent bread dispenser next to the office should you miss the baker. The site is within easy walking distance of the town centre and the Somme 1916 museum. While staying at the site, we walked into Albert and caught the train to Amiens. It is next door to two fishing lakes which make for a very pleasant evening stroll.
