Our regular stop before our tunnel. Easy to find, and easy to rejoin the motorway, which you can hear from the site. The very large Auchan supermarket is close. The site is well run, facilities are adequate, and there is a restaurant on site. I like the fishing, and my wife is happy, as the tv signal is good, so win win. On arrival if reception is closed, you can choose your pitch, and plug in etc, and book in later. The pitches are well maintained, with plastic grid reinforcements.

Stayed two nights prior to tunnel return to UK. Campsite is 15 minutes from tunnel. Tourers use area at front of site. Office closed from 12 to 4pm so you pick a pitch and wait. Large E. Leclerk at Junction 29 sells fuel and LPG within 10 miles.

This site has terrific access to the motorway and is an ideal stop for early sailings from the Channel ports.
There are designated pitches for ‘overnighters’ and we can commend the facilities.
We will return to use the site again.

Nice site close to the A16 but not noisy. Large, mostly static/seasonal, small area for tourers. Good sized pitches, most with water and drainage. Good toilets and showers.

Stayed for two nights, as most, before our return to home. Our first time here, and it will not be the last. As most reviewers state, the overnighters have a separate entry to the main park, so you choose your pitch, hook up etc, and pay when the office is open. It makes it easy for early leavers. The toilets are old style, but acceptable, and the restaurant is well used with entertainment in the bar. The park is very large, with many private statics, whose owners fill the bars etc with customers. The lake is small, but fishable. I tried twice, with good results each time. lovely dark coloured carp. The site shop is sparsely stocked, but thats not surprising, as Boulogne, and its big Auchan is so close. Great site for what it does best……Last stop before home.

Been here again, stayed for 3 days, love the site. Washing up facilities Does have hot water and there is paper in the toilet block, just not in the single loo outside of the block. Restaurant good and wine is well priced. I actually caught some fish this time at the fishing lake which was quite exciting. Will be back next year for definite, need to catch that whopper of a fish which I saw jumping out of the water.

Have used the site regularly - good facilities for motorhome stopover, and the restaurant has been excellent. But knowing that in the past they have closed the restaurant for last week of opening, we rang last week to check it would still be open this week. We were assured it was, so were very disappointed to arrive and find it was closed. If they’d said they weren’t sure about opening we’d have made other plans.
