family camping homestay

Tell us about your experience
Nice camp location with orchard with fruiting trees. Some good walks nearby. Close to our birding hotspots. There was one jerrycan (10 lt est.) of non-potable water for cooking, washing dishes and ourselves, shared with one other camper. This container was not replenished and was not sufficient. The advertisement offers drinking water, a hot shower and a picnic table. Non was available.

How was the contact with the host?
Stéphanie was quick to reply through CampSpace, but wasn’t around when we arrived. Her partner (Ben) was not aware of our arrival. He offered a bucket with hot water for a shower when asked, but never showed up.

Tips for new guests?
Bring sufficient potable water and camping chairs. Bring a printed confirmation with reservation number to demonstrate you booked and paid.

Very quiet campsite with lots of shade. The sanitary facilities are basic, chemical toilet and shower bag that heats up in the sun. Everything is neatly maintained so I had no complaints during my 10-day stay. Especially the peace and quiet were a plus here. People who want more comfort should look for another place. I felt like a little scout again.
From this campsite I could go to many places by bike.

How was the contact with the host?
Very friendly welcome and respect for your privacy.

The grounds of the campsite are fine. The sanitary facilities are definitely not sufficient: 1 chemical toilet and shower from a water bag…. Sufficient for 1 guest, but not for more. Electricity consists of many extension cords linked together.
The hostess is communicatively not suitable for this task. Is very quick to anger and curt.

A pity, because with some adjustments it is a great camping spot.

How was the contact with the host?
Very laborious. very unfriendly

Tips for new guests?
If completely self-sufficient (camper/caravan) then it is doable. Make sure you bring your own long extension cords.

The 'camping site' is a beautiful fruit orchard, with many nice shady spots. You look out on the rolling fields. It is blissfully quiet with many twittering birds, sometimes some traffic whirring in the background. They have an inflatable pool for the children. Electricity is laid out over the garden with pulleys. First pay extra, then you get electricity. There are often no more than a few other campers. The 'sanitary' is the simplest imaginable, but those who are not immediately afraid of that (no reason to) and do not expect luxury, sit in the morning having breakfast under a fruit tree, watching the farm fields with a bird concert in the trees.




The owner and her two helpers do their best. Sometimes there is social discomfort and clumsiness, for example when pointing out the boundaries of the camping sections in a somewhat directive way. They are trimmed with ribbon (sometimes you are unnecessarily fairly close together in a very large garden), but don't go outside. They would like to guarantee good passages for the cars. The places are big enough for a large family tent and accessories. And don't let anything distract you. Stephanie cs are nice to the kids and try to make the best of it. And they have a lovely place.

Fine.

Tips for new guests?
Expect very basic plumbing. The large garden is beautiful

What a negative experience we had today! When booking, we had neatly stated the dimensions of the camper (about the length of 7.44 m). Upon arrival, a first glance of the site was enough to realize that a motorhome with such dimensions does not belong here. It was therefore no coincidence that we could only see a few tents and a lonely small caravan on the site. And then the unfriendly way we were addressed by the manageress! And this notwithstanding we claim her in French. We were allocated a place so that we had to place the camper with the side flat against the garden wire. In that case, getting in and out would be very uncomfortable. When we asked to be allowed to place the camper in the other direction, this was not possible because in this way the camper hinders the passage of a trailer. As an alternative, we were offered a place between two half-trunked fruit trees that we could not reach without the camper being damaged by low hanging branches. We then said that we would prefer to leave the site immediately without damaging the motorhome. The manageress, still her rude self, was quick to say that in that case no refund of the rent paid is possible. FYI, we didn't even get a chance to ask for this in a polite way.

We then left, talking further was pointless. We would like to inform you that this site is totally unsuitable for motorhomes of this size. We find it outrageous that the owners, knowing well what the dimensions of the camper are, accept our reservation and our money. How unfair can you be not to even consider a refund in such a case.

Do not

Charmingly located camping site in an orchard. Beautiful places, both for tents and (smaller) campers. The site slopes down a bit and the facilities are very limited: there is an emergency toilet and an improvised shower (which was filled with a hot water bag on request).

How was the contact with the host?
Stéphanie responded quickly and correctly to the reservation request, contact was a bit more difficult on site. You notice that they lack some experience. But we did get what we asked for.

Tips for new guests?
Leave the breakfast for what it is, even if it only costs 5 euros per person.

Very good location, half an hour from the beach, 20 min from Saint Valéry sur Somme (delicious mussels). Very large garden with a few places at the back where you can stand under the shade with a beautiful view. We had a heat wave and couldn't stand any better. Very basic: no electricity (or you have to request it and pay supplement), toilet is there, very basic and the shower is basically unusable (or it's that you are a midget with short hair as there is only a limited amount of water in it a bag that hangs very low). Very quiet.

How was the contact with the host?
Could be much better. We were a little earlier and received absolutely no friendly reception. Madame was angry and certainly not friendly or welcoming. Apparently she had sent a message if we wanted electricity but we hadn't seen that so there was no way to put our fridge in somewhere. Totally not flexible. Certainly not pleasant to arrive. We felt like we were doing everything wrong. She gave an uneasy feeling. Ps don't look for the troll, the troll will find you.

Tips for new guests?
As a base to explore the region certainly ok, if you want peace and quiet and not a busy campsite. You can take a shower at the beach of Ault.
If you want a warm welcome: NOT RECOMMENDED!!!

Stephanie has a beautiful garden with fruit trees where 6 camping spots are marked out with ribbons. There is a loft with 1 Porta Porti portable toilet and a camping shower with water bag that they are happy to fill with warm water for you.
There is also an electricity point and we had just enough length with our 25 meter cable, so it is best to bring a slightly longer cable.
Water is also available but will be cut off when the owners are away.

How was the contact with the host?
Contact with Stephanie was good. On arrival we were treated to fresh apple juice and a home baked local cake.

Tips for new guests?
Take a bike ride to the Bay of the Somme. We first cycled to Le Crotoy where you can have a delicious lunch in Restaurant Les Tourelles. Then you cycle to Saint Valery sur Somme and for a coffee with Brazilian carrot cake you go to the Amazon cafe in the rue de la Ferte.

Beautiful surroundings, but personally we think the reception is anything but how it should be.

Clearly indicated that we do not speak French fluently, and asked that they could speak a little more quietly, so that it was understood.

This was not taken into account. The communication was not good.

On top of that, €5 was charged for electricity, this is nowhere indicated + you need an extension cable of about 40m ... We didn't have this one, but it was eventually offered by them.

The toilet and shower are not worthy of the name.
The toilet doesn't flush, and the shower is a bag of hot water and a hose.

The positive is the nature and the peace you can find there.

How was the contact with the host?
Not good for us.

Tips for new guests?
Take a long extension cable with you.
