  • Play area and pétanque courts; bike hire; restaurant and entertainment
Looking for a campsite with loads to do to keep everyone happy? You’ve hit gold dust at Camping des Crocs, a small, low-key and family-friendly sort of place 15 minutes’ drive from the pretty seaside town of Le Crotoy in Picardy. With more than 40 years of experience running the site, the owners Francis and Odile are always on hand to help out in any way they can. So what exactly is on offer at Camping des Crocs? Partially shaded grass pitches divided by hedges for your privacy. A well-equipped playground and an inflatable bouncy castle for younger kids. Two pétanque courts for the whole family to test their skills. Bikes and e-bikes for hire from reception, so you can explore the cycle paths that surround the site. A bread delivery service and an informal dining room where local dishes are served. Dog walks and fishing direct from the pitches. On top of all that, there’s evening entertainment in the high season, and easy access to Baie de Somme beaches like Quend and Fort-Mahon (both 15 minutes’ drive) for summertime adventures splashing around in the water.

What customers say

Great campsite! Praised for clean, quiet facilities & friendly staff accommodating non-French speakers. Level pitches with water are a plus. Birdwatchers love its proximity to Marquenterre Park. Some found showers basic but clean. Wi-Fi pricey, reception can be tricky, but many recommend and would return.

Electric optional grass and earth pitch

Liked Quiet (have been to other sites with loud entertainment in the evenings). Everything worked and facilities were clean. Decent-sized, clear pitch. Inflatable slide was popular with the kids. Walks/cycle routes straight from the campsite was great in the evening.

Disliked Toilets do not have seats and showers have to be paid for with tokens.

Electric optional grass and earth pitch

Liked Lovely campsite, nice play area for kids and bouncy castle. Food trucks were on site most nights with nice food.
Staff were very friendly. Very close walk to a local nature park but you do need to pay to enter it.

Disliked There was often no toilet paper in the bathrooms and there was no hand soap. There was also no toilet seats on any of the toilets.

Local attractions

Horse-mad families don’t need to stray very far from the pitches; Henson Equestrian Centre is right next to the campsite and offers pony trekking and riding lessons for all levels of experience. If you prefer to partake in watersports, head for the Baie de Somme’s best kitesurfing spots, which lie between Le Hourdel (35 minutes’ drive) and Cayeux-sur-Mer (40 minutes), at the northern end of Le Crotoy beach and at Fort-Mahon (both 15 minutes). If that’s all a bit too high-octane for you, don your sturdy boots and follow the Promenade des Crocs hiking trail north along the Baie de Somme coastline from Park Marquenterre (five minutes), itself an area of coastal dunes and marshland grazed by wild horses and rich in birdlife including herons, avocets and egrets. Popular local resorts to get to know include Le Touquet (45 minutes), where you can browse stylish shops, play hide-and-seek with the kids on the sand dunes or enjoy a romantic dinner à deux in a seafront restaurant. Springboard to boat cruises across the Baie de Somme, Le Crotoy (15 minutes) is a cute fishing village with lots of seafood cafés around the harbour.
