Disliked Les campings et établissements de plein air inscrits sur Pitchup.com gèrent leur disponibilité et se doivent de la tenir à jour à tout moment. Ils peuvent le faire via leur extranet, 24 heures sur 24 et 7 jours sur 7 et les doubles réservations sont ainsi très rares. Une erreur d’intégration est survenue lors de votre réservation pitchup. Deux réservations sont remontées sur la même unité.

Chris P.

Electric optional grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Excellent site for late arrivals and early departures as only 25 minutes from Le Shuttle but also just an all round really nice place to stop. Restaurant has very good food but does get very busy, probably related, so be prepared to wait and have another drink. Showers and toilets are good and very clean, with water points all round the site. Nice play area for kids and dog friendly. There's WiFi available but as I didn't use it so I can't comment how good it is but it's there. We stayed twice at the camping, start and end of our journey and enjoyed both nights and hopefully will return soon.

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked Wir wurden sehr nett und auf englisch empfangen. Der Stellplatz für unser Wohnmobil war sehr eben und großzügig.
Das Waschhaus war in der Nähe und auch sauber.
Das Essen im Restaurant war gut, der Service sehr nett.
Wir waren nur eine Nacht auf dem Platz, er liegt etwa 35min weg vom Hafen, was für uns perfekt war!
Gerne wieder!

Steven G.

2 bedroom static caravan

Liked Close to Calais port

Disliked On arrival, I was told I had to pay a £300 deposit, which I wasn’t happy about, but paid. The caravan looked spacious at first glance, but when I opened the fridge door, a flood of water poured out. I went to reception to report it, and the response I got was, “Is there not a mop?” I said I didn’t know—I was just letting them know the fridge wasn’t working. He told me they’d look at it tomorrow. I asked for plenty of tissue to clean it up, which he gave me, and I ended up doing the job myself.

Later, we decided to try the on-site restaurant. My friend and I ordered fish and chips, while my son ordered a burger. When the food arrived, we both looked at each other in disbelief—the fish looked like frozen Aldi fish, and the chips weren’t much better. We ate it, but I was shocked that a restaurant would serve that to paying customers. My son bit into his burger and found it completely undercooked—bright red in the middle. We sent it back to be cooked properly.

We left feeling disappointed. Another member of our group later complained to the owner, but it didn’t go well. One of the owners' comments was, “You English are always concerned about E.coli.” . My friend felt so uncomfortable and threatened by the exchange that she had to leave. food preparation safety should be the upmost importance for a restaurant manager

From the manager: Thank you for your review.
The fridge and freezer had to cleaned before your arrival because the previous customers left it dirty. The point is that the freezer has to be turned of to be cleaned. Sorry for your bad experience about it.
The steak in the burger are served medium. It was too bloody for you, so we cooked it a second time. Our meat is french, local, and fresh and under vacuum. We are aware of the sanitary risks with minced meat, you can be sure when you come at our restaurant that we serve fresh meat.
You claimed after having eaten the fish and chips, that they were empty....I told you that you should have made the complain before you plate is empty. I think it fare.
In our general condition of sale on pitchup, (i can't add the picture in this answer), it is said that 300 euros deposit (pre-authorization) is going to be taken, and 50 euros (if you don't book the cleaning). Please read the condition of sale before booking an accommodation, it would probably avoid misunderstanding.
Kind regards.

Local attractions

The site is on the edge of the Caps et Marais d'Opale Natural Regional Park, a popular local spot for walks and bike rides; more of the same, as well as wildlife watching in scenic surrounds, is at the Canche Bay Nature Reserve to the park's south. The medieval town of Ardres a few minutes' drive away is a must-see in this part of Pas-de-Calais – and a popular destination for holidaymakers on weekend breaks from Britain. Carve out time for the ancient and award-winning Thursday morning market, the bird sanctuary and the garden of the Maison de la Nature at the very least… and make it a mission to find the town bakery and patisserie too. From Ardres, follow the canal (starting from Calais harbour) along to Saint-Omer and the nearby World War II bunker Blockhaus of Éperlecques and its museum, or further along to Lille, an hour and 25 minutes' drive from the site.
