Μου άρεσε: Handy for the tunnel

Δεν μου άρεσε: This place is a very run-down trailer park with a few camping pitches. The bar/reception area looked very tatty and there was a handwritten sign informing arrivals that reception was closed between 2 and 5:30 (not mentioned in the email). Toilet facilities were grotty. I was given stern looks by one of the static caravan residents as I made my 7am delivery. Beware of the bridge on the route with 2m height restriction, not apparent until you are nearly upon it

Μου άρεσε: I am sorry but it was awful. 25 mins from ferry was the only good thing.

Δεν μου άρεσε: Campsite is in the middle of the suburbs but there’s nothing about. Do not come on a Monday as you will just be sitting outside waiting for someone to turn up as the bar that acts as reception is closed.
The pitches are behind a bar in random gaps between permanent static homes.
The shower block is the worst I have ever been to. Metal doors with no signage, no lighting and so grim and run down it was embarrassing.

Μου άρεσε: Grass pitch

Δεν μου άρεσε: No reception staff present, no lights in sanitary block, no bins, pizzeria and bar shut- nowhere near for alternative dining

Μου άρεσε: Hedges around the plot giving some privacy.

Very quiet.

Δεν μου άρεσε: Not clear where to go when checking in. Toilets and other facilities were very basic. Not a lot facilities nearby. Not great for walking our dogs.

If coming from Calais and in a Motorhome be aware that Google Maps wants to take you a route with a bridge which has a 2m height restriction.

Site was fine but just really for us.

Μου άρεσε: Close to ferry port.

Δεν μου άρεσε: Not overly friendly reception, being stared down a lot by the regulars, we were in bed around 10 and heard a group of people walk past loudly talking about l’ étrangers.
There are no showers or basic camping facilities only toilets. This is basically a trailer park with a few grass pitches. With a bar/resto and a garden bar on site it will be quite rowdy and noisy when the local rough crowd is in.

Μου άρεσε: Large pitch . Reasonably good value for money. Close to Calais for Ferry crossing.

Δεν μου άρεσε: Cool reception- no explanation where anything was or how the electronic gate worked. No showers. Outside toilets without toilet paper. Loud music and noise from the bar past 11pm.

Μου άρεσε: Very friendly owner. He made us feel very welcome.
The facilities were not modern but were scrupulously clean.
The evening was rainy and we were in the bar with a young family, we were made to feel welcome and at home
