Hi BT

Whit week seems to be getting more popular, possibly by some getting away from the main holiday weeks to save a few bob. Still not a problem re pre booking I guess, but at Le Brevedent for example numbers were well up end of May this year , and coincidentally the last week of season in September. Northern sites may be profitting by folks not prepared to spend the money going down south. Also at le B around this time, there are often CC or C & CC rallies of upto 15 units.

As said, still not a problem re availability or overcrowding, but if you want a prefered pitch, it may be wise to book ahead.

Thanks chaps

There are indeed some well reviewed sites around south Picardie/St Quentin Tentz.

FM which pitch/es would you recommend at Le B?

Depends on what you like. "One man's meat ---------" and all that sort of thing. Lakeside or not. Morning/evening sun (not guaranteed of course ). Proximity to toilet block ( posh or traditional) . If you like to live behind your windbreak, or are up for chatting to anyone.

If you have a motorhome, maybe flatness has a bearing, although personally I am famous for some of the constructions created to get the van level just to profit from the view.

And then there are those who light BBQ's every night and cook all sorts of fancy grub. You would n't want to be next to them of course.

Good bad or indifferent, Le B is not stereotype, so you can usually find a pitch that suits you, ( so long as it's not ours !)

try around the Rue area    val d'authie at villers sur authie is a good one  camping cheques too   plenty of others   ferme des aulnes is another

camping neptune is probably a bit mor than 1 hour from the port though if it is the one I am thinking of

Know what you mean. Every year we go our pitch is next to one with more and more cooking equipment. Saying that though our wok on the bbq went down well, especially with neighbours.

FM, well i use BBQs mainly for seafood, sometimes fall asleep behind the windbreak, but also love a chinwag, will worship the sun if it shows up, a quick walk to the facilities is fine but no smells please....and we're now in a Campervan. So i guess i'll find a good spot somethwere...heh heh!!
