Eco-built campsite edging the Marais du Grand Clair in Pas-de-Calais
Loisiparc 10 minutes’ drive and the Mining History Centre 20 minutes
Micro-farm, permaculture garden and a restaurant/bar with roof terrace

As the name suggests, eco-friendly is the word that best describes Ecoland, a peaceful site with impressively green credentials on the edge of the marshy Marais du Grand Clair at Palluel, Pas-de-Calais. The owners of this one-hectare property are set on finding ways to boost the local economy and promote slow tourism. The site’s restaurant/bar certainly lives up to their quest for sustainability, being one of the first adobe-built constructions in France. Fresh, homemade and seasonal dishes star on the menu, with the ingredients either coming from the site’s permaculture garden or from zero-miles local growers – and the view from the rooftop terrace at sundown is pretty good too. This leafy and carefully landscaped site also has a micro-farm, where you’ll meet cute miniature donkeys, Pygmy goats and sheep. They wander about the place freely for part of each day, and act as energy-saving lawn mowers, keeping the grass down the natural way. If you’re looking for family downtime, you can borrow books and board games on site. When more activity is called for, you have options including the pétanque court, a darts board and a boat for exploring the Marais du Grand Clair. And come the evening, there’s no need to take the car into town for entertainment, as concerts, shows and themed nights are held at the restaurant/bar.

Electric optional grass and earth touring pitch

Liked: Set in beautiful surroundings to the front of the site, overlooking a large expanse of water.
Novelty with 2 wandering donkeys, goats & sheep!
We were 1 of 2 camping units staying overnight early in the season & clearly lots of other non-residential business being catered for in the restaurant/bar garden, which cleared as soon as the sun set & temperature dipped.
Evidence of clearing of scrub, perhaps still ongoing preparation for the summer season.

Disliked: Key locking system (key on a flexible wire) for toilets & showers would be a challenge for small children & lock-in likely if not closely supervised.
Don’t go if you dislike animals!

Local attractions

It only takes a few steps from your pitch to get active; you can hike or cycle around the Marais du Grand Clair – often spotting deer, teals and swans along the way. Alternatively, you might prefer to navigate the narrow channels of the lake by boat, and there are many waterside picnic spots where you can disembark on your mini-cruise. To witness eco-tourism at its best, venture out to the former industrial town of Lens (35 minutes’ drive), where vast mounds of coal waste have become magnets for wildlife. You can climb or mountain bike it to the top of the vegetation-covered slag heaps, where you will be rewarded with far-reaching views over Pas-de-Calais. Visit the Mining History Centre (20 minutes) for more history of coal mining in the area as well as tours through the underground shafts. If the kids have had enough of heritage by then, take them to cool down on the splash pads at Loisiparc (10 minutes), where there are also trampolines for younger guests, volleyball courts and pedal boats for pottering about on the lake.
