CAMPING MUNICIPAL

I can’t agree with other reviews unfortunately. We were greeted by unfriendly stares by all that were sat in the bar. There were men stood at the bar mocking us because our French was limited. Chantal spoke no French. One of the customers did some basic translating in amongst the mocking.

We secured a pitch with electric for the night at 14 euros and were told where we could stay. The pitches are not level although are a decent size. Each has its own hook up point. The water taps are dispersed between pitches.

We were given a key to access the toilets and showers. They were not the quality described in other reviews. No toilet roll, no hand towels but there was soap! The bins had not been emptied and there was a dubious smear of something on one wall of the ladies toilet. The showers weren’t clean, the floor didn’t look like it had been shown any kind of cleaner for a long time. The men’s shower was too hot to be comfortable and not adjustable - the disabled one was though. Drainage was terrible in both men and women’s showers - my mum was watching the water come back up through the drain as she was showering! Keep your flip flops on!

The site is on a road that gets busy as the day begins. Just a small wooden flimsy barrier separates the site from the road. We were on the best pitch out of two to pick from and it was road side. The site is also used by anglers so lots of vehicles come and go.

We didn’t eat in the brasserie - it didn’t seem very inviting, nor was it set up to look like somewhere that provided food. Random veg for sale, old and faded pocket money toys piled up, plates stacked and cutlery wrapped in paper napkins were all jumbled up at the entrance to the brasserie.

We couldn’t see anywhere to empty grey waste or an elson point at all. I don’t know what the other caravans did. We were in a motor home.

There didn’t appear to be anywhere local to walk to for food or drinks and since we hadn’t had a warm welcome on arrival we didn’t feel like we could sit in the brasserie. When I say brasserie I mean a small marquee with tables covered in plastic dotted about, a small bar with Leffe on draft and a fridge of cold drinks.

Don’t be fooled by the photos from Google street view - a lot has changed since they were taken. It almost felt like the site hadn’t been looked after for a long time!

We coped for a night and needed a shower. If we weren’t so tired from travelling we would have sacrificed the 14 euros and moved on. Seek better options if you’re able to!

Een zeer kleine camping met ongeveer 14 plaatsen. De camping ligt naast een grote( meerdere) visvijvers waar de Fransen met onvoorstelbare visuitrustingen de gehele dag vissen. Zondags gaat de hele familie mee.
Dat en het toiletgebouw zijn 5 sterren waardig. De ontvangst is goed, telefonisch reserveren is een beetje onzeker. Helaas sloot de keuken om 16:00 uur en konden we geen moules& frites meer eten.
Waarom dan toch maar 3 sterren? De kampeerplekken zien er shabby uit. Als het regent kun je er op sommige plekken schaatsen in de gladde klei. Iets meer onderhoud zou wenselijk zijn.
Minpunt was ook dat er buren waren die harde muziek aan hadden, kinderen met veel lawaai en een auto rustig anderhalf uur laten draaien( airco). En dat met de ramen open.
Het is in Noord Frankrijk altijd zoeken naar een goede overnachtingscamping, ik denk dat we deze de volgende keer maar overslaan.

Camping je ne connais pas vraiment mais il y a de très beaux étangs de pêche et une brasserie où on n'y mange bien

Fabulous! The only campsite we could find between Miraumont and, well, the only campsite we could find. Very small but very friendly and found us space at short notice. Spotless facilities.

Lovely small campsite with very good facilities and an affordable price! Ideal for bike tourers!
