Hello all i'm looking for a little advice and direction as to where i would be a good choice for our next holiday in france... we went to les brevedent (camping les castle) last summer and really enjoyed the whole trip, loveley site, great weather and a great location- we would love to go back but only have a short break this year (4days), and are looking for somewhere within maybe a 1.5 hour drive of calais,,

    usually we'd drive on straight through this area but i'm sure there are many sites around with nearby attractions and with it being our only get away this year i don't really want to take a gamble! somewhere between boulogne and the belgium border i'm guessing?

any ideas or previous experiences that you may have in this area would really be appreciated!! i have looked through reviews of a few sites but conflicting opinions have me confused!

Cheers, Jack

Chateau du Gandspette at Eperlecques might fit your bill - 25 minutes from Calais or Dunkerque, good on-site facilities, including a bar and restaurant.  Sanitary facilities are good - especially the block in the newer area.  The Blockhaus at Eperlecques is worth a visit (where the V bomb were built and launched), as is La Cupole at St Omer, the market in St Omer and the canals around - good cycling country, and the little town of Cassels (on the only hilltop around) is nice for a trip out.  You're near enough to go to the beaches towards Boulogne, too.

If you're going between 1st April and 9th July, or after 1st Septemer up to 30th September, then you could also use Camping Cheques (www.campingcheque.co.uk)  They also have a special offer of 7 nights for 6 Camping Cheques, if you can squeeze in a few extra days!!

Great stuff, thanks everyone i'll check them out after tea! currentley fighting the urge to go camping in a couple of weeks, hope the weather cheers up!!
