Independent Campsite Reviews

What a lovely site, easy to find, near to local shops about two mins up the road, also a lovely pub owned by an English family who make you feel most welcome. Site has hard ground for pitching tents onto, so do not forget some strong pegs and a good hammer. site manger is very friendly, showers are clean, no noise after ten at night .A very busy site so booking is advised.

The campsite was an extremely pleasant place to stay. If you are British the experience can be even more pleasant as there is a pub in the village itself that has Sky tv & is owned & run by an English family (or was when my family & I went in 2003!). Also within a couple of minutes walk, is a very well stocked small supermarket (if I remember correctly it was a "Shoppi"). Back to the campsite though! I found all the onsite amenities spotless & working! being regularly cleaned & patrolled by the owners themseves. The only real problem that I encountered though, was that it was quite difficult to pitch a tent, due to the ground (although turfed) being gravelly just under the surface, making it extremely difficult to get the tent pegs in.

Take the A12 motorway to the 2nd exit southwards from the Péage at Boulogne and follow the signs to Hardelot and then Condette. The well posted site is on the right about 200 metres from the Condette roundabout - its quite a tight entrance from this direction but there is a roundabout at both ends of the village so you could turn round and hit it again from another direction. Electricity, two toilet blocks, washing machines and dryers, a games room and children's playground. €14.10 per night. Good for long and short stays.

We stayed at this site in May 2005 for a week, as this was our first ever trip to France with the caravan we were filled will trepidation, all our worries were quickly dispelled on arrival at this lovely site, a fantastic and warm welcome, the owners are very friendly and helpful (a little French helps though ) the amenities are spotlessly clean, you can buy phone cards at the office to use in the public telephone just outside the gate, a good mix of nationalities on site, all of whom greet you with a smile, a well positioned site and not far from the fantastic beach at Hardelot.

Stayed at the end of September 2005 after getting the speed ferry across and loved it. It is just out side Boulogne so you can visit the Hypermarkets for cheap booze to drink on the site, which makes it a cheap holiday. The tent pitches were excellent and secluded and the amenities were very good, they even have a room with fridges in so you can keep your drink cold. The nearby beach was also very nice and there’s a golf course. We will be back this year !!

We have visited this excellent site a few times mainly weekends, but will be retuning next year for a longer stay. The site is compact but the layout is very good and still offers secluded pitches. The facilities are spotless clean and managed by the very friendly owners. There is a very good shop, restaurants and friendly pub. Many cycle routes, walks, golf and fishing in the area.

Our first caravan touring holiday was late September, 2003.

We arrived in Calais at around 4pm and headed south, we came across the site by chance (luck) rather than design. It was getting dark and raining, the owners made us feel very welcome and couldn’t have been more helpful. The facilities there are second to none, the owner Jaqueline and Heini are always seen working, cleaning and assisting campers, a first class site that we have returned to again and again. Most recommended.

We were hoping to visit this campsite in 10 days time but just received an e-mail saying that there was a mix up and they hadn't got a place for us even though we booked several months ago. Very poor management,

Since our first visit to this site in September 2003 we have returned at least 10 times, usually staying a night or two on our way to Normandy and Brittany but also have stayed a week in 2005. From our growing experience of French sites we can highly recommend this site, its facilities are excellent, the WCs/showers are modern, clean and very well thought out with a good ratio for this sites capacity, they are very disabled person friendly as is the whole campsite. The layout is brilliant with each placement providing privacy without feeling isolated. The ongoing planting of shrubs improves the pleasant atmosphere of the whole park. The location of the park is ideal, within a few minutes walk there is a SHOPI supermarket, Tabac, hairdressers, butchers and bakery as well as a bank and pharmacy. The area offers beautiful beaches and plenty of pleasant walks, cycle rides and historic attractions. The owners Jaqueline and Henri are so welcoming and helpful, nothing is too much trouble for them. We are looking forward to our next visit/s.
