from 12 reviews Write review

The campsite is located along the River Ancre and by several well-stocked fishing lakes. There is a free practice range for golf with 5 holes next to the site. The area around Albert formed the front line during the Battle of the Somme in 1916. The many graveyards and monuments are a silent witnesses to this. A visit to the cozy historic centre of Albert is recommended.

The location of the site is perfect for doing the war stuff. However, the toilet facilities at this site were the worse we have ever seen. They need cleaning. I cannot comment on child friendliness or the sports facilities.

good site lady in reception spoke a little English. The toilet bins had not been emptied for the four days we were there, on lifting the lid I nearly throw up with the smell, showers had tepid water and the drains badly needed cleaning. lovely lakes and walks all around the site. Would stay again IF toilet and shower block had a good overhaul.Would pay a few more euros for better facilities

Excellent well laid out site with marked pitches, most are comfort plots with water and waste water connections. Good Freesat TV. I\'ve always found it very peaceful, some train noise but nothing to speak of.
