  • Quiet dog-friendly site next to Lake Ardres
  • A 20-minute drive from Calais and 25 minutes from beaches
  • Within walking distance of restaurants and shops; pétanque on site
The Opal Coast… a name that brings to mind white cliffs, windswept beaches and beach huts of all colours. Then there’s Lake Ardres… that spot has shot to popularity too, mostly because of its gentle waters surrounded by the Brêmes countryside. Tucked to one side of the lake in its lush green surrounds is Camping Le Courtil Rose. The lakeside site has its own set of attractions: a quiet and dog-friendly being one of the key ones. There’s a pétanque pitch and lots of practical facilities too (showers, toilets and launderette included). Access to the lake is one of the most exciting parts. Rent an electric bike and take a lap of the lakeshore or pack yourself up a picnic and pick a pretty spot for a relaxed day by the water. There are restaurants (both alongside the lake and not) within walking distance of the site, as well as shops. When you’re ready to trade that fresh water for the salty kind, Calais beach on the Opal Coast is but a 25-minute drive away from the site. With the ships gliding to and from shore, and a line of beach huts, it’s a special spot. Also along the coast, about 25 minutes’ drive away is Plage de Sangatte, a popular patch for windsurfing, kitesurfing, fishing, sand yachting and horse riding.

Electric optional gravel touring pitch

Liked: The welcome from the owner was fantastic; he was so friendly and helpful - giving me directions to a local ice-cream place and then placing my campervan in an uninhabited corner as I was travelling with three small dogs. The location is superb, there are some lovely easy walks which I enjoyed with my puppies, the toilet and shower facilities are basic but totally adequate and there was table tennis and other amenities for the kids staying at the same time as me.

Location-wise this is very convenient for both Calais and Dunkirk and is easy to find via satnav, though be very careful of the super-low bridge (<2m) that my satnav in particular kept trying to take me under and there is another way round that is easy to find but hard to describe.

All in all I had a very pleasant two nights staying here and would recommend it for longer stays, or just a brief pause before crossing the channel as it was for me.

Disliked: No lights in the toilet blocks was my only gripe.

Electric optional gravel touring pitch

Liked: Nice pitch with plenty of room and electric/water close by. Easy check in and very helpful.

Disliked: The shower block is somewhat dated and cold, so decided against a shower until we got to our next destination. A good site for either a stopover at start or end of stay. Nice bistro and ice cream parlour close by.

Perfect for connection to port and shuttle and also pleasant for stay.

Liked: Great location within easy reach of the ferry port, local area lovely with nice walks around the lakes. Very warm welcome from the owner.

Disliked: Toilets not the cleanest but are functional. Depending on time of year visiting most things are shut. Bit expensive for what you actually get.

Local attractions

Set off for Calais (20 minutes’ drive), a port town lined with white cliffs. The City of Lace and Fashion is one of its famed museums, telling the story of the town's craft-making past in a 19th-century lace factory. That Opal Coast is calling too… walks-wise, the chalk cliffs of Cap Blanc-Nez (35 minutes) with views over the English channel must surely take the priority. For seaside cities, however, Boulogne-sur-Mer (40 minutes) is first call. The city walls, built in the 13th century, are a clue to the interesting history. The Norman castle has ancient Egyptian and Greek artefacts and an art gallery. If you get the chance, you might want to check out Wimereux (40 minutes), near Boulogne-sur-Mer. A sandy beach backed by a sea wall and promenade, and lined with 19th-century villas, makes for a splendid beach day.
