What customers say
Great spot near Albert, with roomy, private sites and a welcoming vibe. Staff are a ripper, it's super chill, and close to WW1 history. Facilities are tidy but a bit old-fashioned for some, and BYO loo roll. Perfect for checking out the Somme.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews




















Fine for an overnight stay
Powered grass caravan site
Liked Plots. Reasonable size
Disliked Toilet facilities need updating- they are reasonably clean but old fashioned and basic. The tap on the basin in the toilet area didn’t work. At least two of the toilet seats were broken
The office wasn’t open- it would have helped if there had been a notice on it about where the lady could be found

Nice place
Powered grass caravan site
Liked Nice location, good services. Even for only one night, our staying there was so peaceful and quiet.
Easy to access it, located into a pitoresque area, we would have liked to have stayed longer.
Also, they have many means for entertainment (like table tennis, pool table)
Disliked The smell the second day was horrific. Of course, is not the site's fault, but literarelly, you really needed to run out of there.

Terrible campsite in a convenient location
Powered grass caravan site
Liked Location-wise, great for visiting the Somme museum in Albert (15 min walk) and nearby memorials / cemeteries.
Disliked Dark, dirty toilet/shower block with some taps not working, no soap or paper or even dispensers for either.
Ramshackle seating area near reception that looked like where old garden furniture goes to die.
Cramped pitches with no privacy.
No site management - revellers shouting and playing music until 4am.
Dismissive staff.
Other than the Somme museum, there’s not much to Albert and it’s pretty rundown in places.
