  • Family-friendly site with cowboy theme, 20 minutes' drive from Laon
  • On-site fishing and easy access to many hiking trails
  • Pool, masseuse, restaurant, go-kart hire and play area
Cowboys, carp and chilled-out massage sessions: what a winning combination... All can be had at Picardy's Camping Les Étangs du Moulin, an Aisne countryside site in a seven-hectare forest with cowboy-themed holidays, carp fishing and modern facilities decorated with a Western style. Adults will be likely be gunning for a session from the masseuse available to book on site, while juniors will approve mightily of the cowboy food in the restaurant, served up along with lighter bites; and the go-kart hire so kids can go careering around the site. There's also a heated indoor pool open throughout the season, pétanque and volleyball courts, and a play area not far from the pitching field: oui, this is a family-friendly site… And if you want to sing yourself around the surrounding countryside? Canter along to the splendid hikes and mountain bike routes of nearby Saint-Gobain Forest.

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked: Great site and friendly staff made us very welcome. Good facilities and amazing if you have young children. Ours enjoyed the pool (we arrived late but the team let them use it after hours 🙏) and climbing frames. There’s a fun western theme and whilst we didn’t eat there it looked great. We were only passing through for one night but will definitely go back. Only 2.5hrs from Calais, so a great choice for heading in and out of France.

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked: Very quiet and nice setting with the ducks and ponds. Bar and restaurant still open in October. Western theme is interesting and different.

Disliked: It’s in the middle of nowhere! However we used our stay as an overnight stop so not a problem but would be if we had stayed longer. Plus no lighting over the wash up area. Toilet facilities ok but old and basic. We needed a two pin adapter for the electric which we didn’t know until we got there but the guy at reception allowed us to borrow one. Signage could be better as it was hard to know where water tap, grey waste and toilet were emptied. Especially in the dark!

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked: Lovely quiet location. Superb restaurant and bar. Helpful staff.

Disliked: The swimming pool needs draining and cleaning. The floor is dirty looking especially around the edges. The shower block needs finishing off. The floor is smooth concrete and now needs the tiles laying. You can see where the old tiles have been removed. All in all this didn’t put us off. We would definitely stay again.

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked: The whole site was extremely clean and well set out. Staff helpful even with our limited knowledge of French we got there! We had lots of wildlife visitors the duck with her 6 babies were a treat ! Pool was welcome after a hot afternoon. Showers were hot. They are mixed use but that didn’t bother us. They were clean.

Disliked: Our pitch was a bit smaller than we expected and the water wasn’t working. We managed to use the tap next door or at the shower’s.

Local attractions

After a few days around the forest or swimming/chilling on site, get along to other highlights of the region, like the medieval town of Laon about 12 kilometres away, where top picks include its its 12th-century cathedral and a wander down its alleys to the Old Bishop's Palace, Hôtel-Dieu and to the citadel. Also within about 20 minutes' drive are the Chemin des Dames, the 30 kilometres of 'ladies paths' that became the site for the three Aisne battles in World War I. Several French, British and German war memorials and cemeteries now lie along its route; guided tours are available from the visitor centre at the paths' Dragon's Lair network of caves. Another famed attraction in the area is the Château de Coucy (10 kilometres), the huge feudal fortress overlooking the valley of the River Ailette that's been standing since the thirteenth century and been a designated monument historique since the nineteenth.
