    Yep, went last year.
    It's a perfect base for doing the Normandy Landing sites.
    There are loads of interesting things to see/places to go around about, and although the campsite lacks character, it has a good pool/bar area.
  • :eek: Stayed here 2 years ago in a static and the site is basically a british site in france, Boddingtons beer, bingo etc. nice pool though. we wouldn't go again, a nicer site is La Bien Assise, just a short drive from Calais and lovely beaches within easy reach including De Panne in Belgium which is excellent.

    If you can make it cheaper do so. If it's not reduced, in Primark, off ebay or free I can't have it

    Its handy for the ferry, but we found the pitches very close together and absolutely hoards of British kids running around. The shower blocks were clean and efficient, but overall the site is nowhere near as nice as our favourite site la Grand Metaire in Carnac. There are lots of nice little towns and villages nearby though and its probably great for a short stay. Pretty good value if it includes ferry to/from Caan.
