A couple of days ago we stayed at Les Erables which is just a little further on from Less Epinettes on the same road at Escalles. Admittedly Les Epinettes is a bit more sheltered!

How did you find Les Erables, David? We used that site from when it first opened, about 2004 I think. But the last few times we found that especially motorhomes are being squeezed in and actually left after being told it was the only pitch available, as per my review on UKCS. Shame, as we used to enjoy staying there, but not if being like sardines! Also used Les Epinettes a few times now, at least they have properly defined pitches!

I saw your comments in a previous post and looked at your reviews. I have to say I thought it a perfectly good overnight stop before your crossing (or after!) The pitches seemed quite clearly defined although some are close together. The ACSI DVD says there are 27 pitches when there are at least 50!!! I don't think it was half full the night we used it so the fitting them in that you refer was not an issue. Also at €13 a night including free WiFi it was good value. The facilities would not win any awards but they are perfectly functional and clean. The one disappointment was that we suffered from low cloud so did not get the view of England across the Channel!

Fair enough comment, David. We've been lots of times when it wasn't (nearly) full and it wasn't a problem. It's just that on one occasion when we were there, at about 9pm, another motorhome was put so close to us, that we could have shaken hands through the window. On another occasion a motorhome was put next to us, not as close as that, but closer than we'd like, and last year the pitch we were allocated was also very close to the next motorhome, hence our decision to leave and to go Les Epinettes. I must say that Bernard has always been very nice to us, in fact, he has in the past asked me to translate for him, but his wife doesn't appear quite as amenable.
