I booked one of those cheap ferry deals for next June, expecting to take the kids to EuroDisney - until I saw the price of getting in!!

We may go to Parc Asterix instead (although that 'aint cheap either) but otherwise, can anyone recommend a site with the following criteria:

1. 2 hours from Dunkirk (any direction).
2. Kids playground (kids under 7), pool?, cycle routes.

Many thanks for any help...

We stayed here in September and the site is very geared up for children. Its got a good pool complex and also a nice restaurant. Pitches are pretty big and have all services. My son and his Partners were there at the same time and they went to Eurodisney from there although its not the nearest site.

do you shop at Tesco? If so convert the points into deals tokens for Parc Asterix, we did it a couple of years ago and the kids loved it. We've also stayed at Croix du Pont and highly recommend it. Another site to consider is Campix.

 Much nearer PA. There are reviews on here for both sites and both accept camping cheques in June so should make the site fees cheaper too.

scrap the camping cheques for Campix as it looks like 2 adults, 2 kids and ehu is  20.5 euros a night, good value IMO so no advantage in buying camping cheques. However will work out cheaper using camping cheques at CdP I think.

Croix du  Pont is very commercialised, full of brits but more expensive at 34 euros a night for a family of 4. It depends what you are looking for tbh. We have only been to CdP at Easter and its not busy then, should think June would be ok too. They have loads for the kids to do but it all costs (trampolines, pedaloes, go karts etc). If you want a site as a base for days out then I think Campix would be my choice but if you want to relax, stay on site mainly then CdP may suit you better.

Thanks for that - hadn't thought of cheques....but you're right, we're only going for 4 days, so will probably spend most of the time on site (young kids don't sightsee very well ).
