Liked: A really nice site, so quiet and peaceful especially at night. Like many sites a mixture of holiday homes and pitches. It’s located 10 or so miles from Calais, not too far but far enough. It’s in a great location for stopovers if using the Ferry’s. Or in my case it was a great location to use as a base whilst sightseeing in the area for several days. Access to the site is more or less 24/7 with the barrier codes. The Host was a great guy who could not do enough to ensure my stay was enjoyable. I was made to feel really welcome. There is a quiet pub as part of the complex near the entrance, mainly used by the locals and visitors. As well as a beer, food is available, especially useful for those just using the site as a stop over. The pitches are very private with each having a surrounding of hedges, shrubs etc. I found the facilities, showers toilets etc to be adequate for my needs. All in all it was a great stay for me and I will definitely be returning even if only for a stop over.
Disliked: No real dislikes for me. Maybe the Wi-Fi can only be used near the reception area, if the Wi-Fi could have a bigger coverage.

Liked: Good location to port of Calais. Ideal for stopover. The owner is very helpful and freindly, and runs a nice peaceful site. The toilets and showers were functional. The secluded hedged plots were level and kept nice. Great value. Would stay again. We visited end of August.
