  • 20 minutes' drive from Ypres and In Flanders Fields Museum
  • Farm shop on site with an wide range of homegrown and local produce
If you want a full flavour of French cuisine (oui), you'll find it here in French Flanders. The shop at Camping de la Ferme des Saules, in the grounds of a working farm in the Flanders mountains, is piled with all sorts of fruit and veg fresh from the fields for you to sample, as well as a range of tiptop produce from other local suppliers including fresh meat, pâtés, cheese, eggs, sweets and homemade Flemish waffles. Pick up some local fruit juices and beers to wash it all down and you’ve got everything you need for quite the French feast. Ferme des Saules is a family-friendly site, half a kilometre from the Belgian border and 20 minutes' drive from Ypres. Guests are welcome to wander the farm during opening hours to meet the chickens, goats and pony, or you could work your appetite up further with a pre-dinner game of pétanque while the kids bounce around the playground or trampoline. Spacious grass pitches are within easy reach of a smart modern toilet block that houses toilets, showers, a kids’ bathroom and an accessible bathroom. There’s also free wifi access around the site. Ferme des Saules is a few kilometres from Bailleul for yet more foodie options at its restaurants, bistros, bars and speciality shops: you can reach town within a five-minute drive, a 15-minute cycle or a 45-minute walk, depending on how many calories you need to work off...

Power optional grass and earth motorhome site

Liked: Really liked the trampoline and play area and friendly animals for the kids
Even though the site was clearly quite busy when we looked around and saw the number of vehicles, it felt pretty quiet. Never any queues for washing up/ showers etc. good flat pitches and some great bike rides easy to access

Power optional grass and earth motorhome site

Liked: Nice and clean.
Animals on site and a dog that roamed was really well behaved.
Shop on site.
Local shops within 5 min drive.
Wi-Fi was free although unreliable.

Disliked: Toilets smelt horrible- this was the only fault but major let down
They weren’t cleaned for 4 days as shown on the cleaning form on the door. You could tell.
No ventilation in there tried leaving the door open a few times but kept being shut couldn’t be aired out. People also washed up dishes and showered all in this one room.

Power optional grass and earth caravan site

Liked: The lady who ran the place was lovely, very welcoming and friendly. The shop on site is great. The actual site is very quaint with a donkey, chickens and rabbits which my daughters adored! Location was great. Very peaceful and the showers/toilets very good.

Disliked: It was a bit tricky to get out of the site with the caravan. There was a tight turn that had turned into a bit of a ditch. Unfortunately the caravan wheel got caught in it and dragged the motor mover into the wheels. That meant a couple of hours stuck in the car park whilst trying to fix it. It just needed filling in with gravel to avoid this happening to anyone else.

Local attractions

At Bailleul, start in the flower-filled Grand’Place, dominated by the 62-metre belfry tower of the town hall, designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Climb to the top for spectacular views towards the mountains and to get up close to the 35-bell carillon. Around the corner from the square is the Museum of Benoit-De-Puydt, a converted private house where you can learn a bit about the town’s role during the war and visit the exhibition of Flemish art. Also worth a visit is the Country Life Museum in Steenwerck, a 15-minute drive from the site and set up to recreate a Flemish village in 1900. The major Belgian point of interest close by is Ypres, 20 minutes' drive from the site, where you can tour the battlefields, visit the war cemeteries and learn more about the area's historical significance at the In Flanders Fields Museum.
