Camping La Sablière du Mont Noir

Liked The peaceful nature of the site. Generous pitch sizes. The pitch having its own tap for water so you have constant access to fresh water without having to walk far to wash up or fill up big water tanks for the day. The swimming pool was lovely. It was also pretty quiet when we went so always able to use the sun loungers no matter what time we arrived. The younger male member of staff had very good English. Staff polite and welcoming. Lovely location, beautiful walks and scenery. Small park for young kids. Few pieces of outdoor gym equipment. Can park by pitch. Electric hook up easy to use.

Disliked The shower block was closed for most of the week. We had a shower the first morning we stayed and it was lovely and warm. This was the only time this particular block was open and was locked the rest of the week. The alternative shower block was not very nice. The water wouldn’t stay on and was either freezing cold or too hot. There wasn’t also an unlocked door housing the electric fuse box and mains which had live wires uncovered in. Accident waiting to happen especially with explorative children. There was never any toilet roll in the toilets so you just bring your own when you visit and make sure you have enough for your duration. Toilets were super small and only one for females and one for males. No soap by the outside sink.
The pitch was quite muddy which made packing down hard and filthy. Our pitch was very uneven too. Very steep hilly site and we had brought the boys bikes with us. They were only able to use them for short distances. Bar had very peculiar opening hours and was shut for most of the afternoon and then seemed to shut around 6pm 🤷🏻‍♀️ We stayed for a week at the end of August and there were no food vans or entertainment like advertised. Do a food shop before you arrive as there isn’t lots of local shops.

From the manager: Hello,

Thank you for your detailed feedback. We’re pleased to hear you enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere, spacious pitches, swimming pool, and the welcome from our team.

Regarding your comments, please note that at the end of August the attendance is lower, which is why the bar and certain services have more limited opening hours. This is also why there were fewer food trucks and entertainment activities during your stay.

However, the sanitary block was indeed open all week, as it was used by other campers.

We take note of your remarks about the facilities and site conditions, as your observations will help us to improve for next season.

We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you again under better conditions.

Liked Lovely welcome at site.
The pool is great, and the kids also loved the pool and table football.
Facilities are always clean.
Just a short walk to a nice small town.

Liked Grand emplacement, verdoyant et calme . Une arrivée d’eau est présente sur l’emplacement avec électricité .
Juste à côté des GR .

Disliked Les sanitaires plutôt loin . D’un côté les douches et beaucoup plus loin les wc.
L’eau de la piscine est salée . Après le 15 août, aucune activité : dommage

From the manager: Bonjour Anne,

Merci beaucoup pour votre retour détaillé et positif sur votre séjour 😊. Nous sommes ravis que vous ayez apprécié l’espace, le calme et la verdure de nos emplacements, ainsi que la proximité des sentiers de randonnée.

Concernant vos remarques :

Les sanitaires sont effectivement répartis de manière à couvrir l’ensemble du camping, ce qui peut donner une impression de distance selon l’emplacement choisi.

Pour la piscine, l’eau est adoucie au sel : c’est un procédé écologique qui génère le chlore naturellement à partir du sel, ce qui permet d’éviter l’utilisation de produits chimiques supplémentaires.

Enfin, il est vrai qu’après le 15 août, nous réduisons les animations pour retrouver un rythme plus calme de fin de saison.

Nous espérons tout de même avoir le plaisir de vous accueillir à nouveau lors d’une période plus animée ! 🌞

Bien cordialement,
L’équipe du Camping La Sablière du Mont Noir

Liked We stayed here as a stopover in our Tentbox XL for a longer journey down to Switzerland via Luxembourg and initially had quite low expectations due to its 7.7 review score but just needed a quick rest break . However, we were totally delighted in the end! We were greeted with a friendly welcome - in English- given a map and had details explained. The showers were hot and toilets clean . There’s a pool and bar and the pitches are flat and the pitches have hedges giving a secluded feel. We were really pleasantly surprised by the number of bars and restaurants around the site - a French bistro , and a craft beer : stone baked pizza bar and more ! Even though it was Sunday it was still vibrant in mid august . There’s a fairground for kids and lovely walks . We’d definitely come back as it’s a good site for a one hour from Calais late train stopover en route to further afield .

Disliked Nothing !

From the manager: Dear guest,

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that your stopover turned out to be such a pleasant surprise and that you enjoyed the warm welcome, our facilities, and the atmosphere around the campsite.

We’re very happy that you appreciated both the services on site and the nearby restaurants and activities. It was a pleasure to host you and we’d be glad to welcome you back anytime on your way through France.

Best regards,
The Camping La Sablière du Mont Noir team

Liked Het zwembad was ok

Disliked De camping leek een laatste adem uit te blazen tijdens ons verblijf. De meeste sanitaire voorzieningen waren al gesloten vanwege onduidelijke redenen maar wat er nog open was deed het nog maar half of soms helemaal niet meer. We hebben ons verbaasd over hoe dit houtje touwtje nog aan elkaar hing…..

From the manager: Beste gast,

Bedankt dat u uw ervaring met ons hebt gedeeld. Het spijt ons dat uw verblijf niet volledig aan uw verwachtingen voldeed. Dit jaar hebben wij een zeer grote toeloop gekend en ondanks onze inspanningen heeft dit soms invloed gehad op de beschikbaarheid van bepaalde voorzieningen.

Onze sanitaire voorzieningen zijn in augustus normaal geopend en operationeel, behalve in het geval van een onverwachte technische storing die wij altijd zo snel mogelijk proberen te verhelpen.

Wij willen ook benadrukken dat uw opmerking een geïsoleerd geval is: het overgrote deel van de feedback van onze gasten dit seizoen was zeer positief. Dat motiveert ons om onze inspanningen voort te zetten.

Met vriendelijke groet,
Het team van Camping La Sablière du Mont Noir

Liked Pool, close to Belgium, bike tracks

Disliked Cold water for showering and washing dishes, only a few toilets, everywhere was steep to walk, unfinished football/games field, loud and active night life from the regular guests

From the manager: Thank you for sharing your feedback.
We are glad you appreciated the location close to Belgium and the bike tracks. 🚴‍♂️

We are sorry to read about the inconveniences you experienced. The water heating system and the sanitary facilities are points we are working on improving. The football/games field is indeed under development, and we hope to have it fully ready for next season.

As for the nightlife, our campsite usually aims for a calm and family-friendly atmosphere, but we understand that some evenings may have felt too lively. Please don’t hesitate to contact the night guard or reception in such cases so we can react immediately.

We hope to welcome you again in the future under better conditions.

Liked Staff were friendly and helpful. Swimming pool and bar were well kept. Evening entertainment was fun even if my French wasn't always keeping up. The morning delivery of bread etc was still warm when delivered. Ideal location for WWI and II history (one bunker on the site and another 5 mins walk).

Disliked Not enough toilets and showers.

We look forward to welcoming you again for another stay full of relaxation, friendliness, and historical discoveries.

Liked Stayed for 3 nights, arrived to the site being full but the team where super accommodating and sorted out a pitch that ended up being super close to the swimming pool and main area.
Found other guests, French, Belgian and English friendly and courteous.

Liked Access to the pool, location to lille, childrens park. Most workers were lovely and happy to be patient working through the language barrier.

Disliked More toilet/shower facilities would have improved the location.
Pool could do with a little maintenance although children oblivious and happy so not a big problem.
