Reviewer: C. MOSS 15 reviews from this member

 Well what can I say but absolutely great site.Very friendly staff, the pitch was very big great for a stop over was able to leave car and van hitched up with lots more room. Swimming pool was open until 8pm and the restaurant was very reasonably priced and the wine and food superb.

Facilities were ok but could be improved, ladies showers were a bit manky excuse the vocabulary but everything else great.

 Our second visit this year, so I won't repeat what I have said before, but this is a generally a good site.

A word of warning, if you book this site or indeed any of the the Castel chain camp sites - there is a 15 euro booking charge. We thought this was a reservation charge, but no it is a charge just for booking online. You can telephone the site direct and there will be no charge.

We booked online in January for our visit in August, and this does in no way reserve you a pitch, we were right at the back by the road, which was a bit disappointing.

 We used this site as it was our first visit abroad. It was very clean and tidy and the staff were very helpful. The shop was well stocked and the bar / grill was fine , the beer prices seemed to be on par with most places.
As this was our first trip across the channel we didnt want to go too far so this was the ideal location and would definitely go back.

 Used this site after coming off the ferry as a stopover and going back to the ferry and I was really impressed. Wish I had a couple of nights before our return to the UK. The site has a swimming pool and a playpark. Staff were helpful and friendly.

There was a small resturant on site and the food was ok.

Ideal for a stop over and for last minute shopping before returning to the UK

On both times we used we never had any road noise as we were at the top of the site.

 We have used this site twice, as a base to do last minute shopping before travelling home. Pitches were ok, and toilet blocks were fine. Pool was great especially as it has a cover over it, though did use the outdoor slide in the rain.Children thought that was brilliant.

However we shall not be returning to the site again, as on our last visit in August 2006, we were pitched next to the road and were awoken at 3.45am by the constant, deafening noise of numerous lorries driving past to and from a nearby quarry. Even the children were awoken by the noise (and they sleep through anything!). We cut short our visit. Also found the staff to be courteous but not particularly welcoming.

 Enjoyed our 5 night stay at this park. It is large and busy probably due to it's close proximity to Calais and the ports (only 20 mins drive away) but the facilities and amenities are clean and the grounds are tidy and well kept. Our kids enjoyed the park and swimming pool and there's table tennis too. We didn't use either of the restaurants or the snack bar but the take away came in handy and was reasonably priced. Beware - the site bar charges 4 euros per pint! You can order bread and croissants at the shop which is reasonably well stocked. Ask for a pitch in the middle or towards the back of the park these are slightly larger, afford a bit more privacy and aren't bothered by road noise. Try to avoid the tall trees otherwise the birds singing at 5am will drive you to distraction! Guines is only a 10 minute walk away and if you turn right on leaving the park and follow the road for about 2 miles you'll find LIDL and Champion Supermarkets and a petrol station. We would use this site again and would recommend it to family and friends.

 We really liked this site. Very easy to find off the ferry and not near any major roads. The swimming pool got a bit crowded but it was 40 degrees ! Great restaurant on site. Everywhere was clean and tidy. We had a good size pitch and didn't feel on top of anyone. The site is owned by Les Castels and they have a good reputation.

Reviewer: Judas_hill 42 reviews from this member

 We used this site for 3 days after touring round europe as a stop before retuning home, found that as we had not booked we ended up near the road and found it very noisy all night. You could only order your bread at 5pm in the evening so if you were out all day this could be a problem. Not sure we would use this site again.

 We decided to have a weekend away in France and chose to stay at La Bien Assise in one of their caravans. As it was only for a weekend we chose to rent one of their cheapest caravans so I wasn’t expecting too much. It turned out to be an ex Eurocamp caravan, which looked at bit dated but was actually in a pretty good state of repair. Only 2 very minor complaints: 1. The lounge area is uncomfortable to sit in (a problem I always seem to have with Eurocamp vans), and 2. They didn’t supply any large coffee mugs – the only ones in the van were the size of an egg cup (which actually could come in handy as I don’t remember seeing any).

What about the actual site? The site is a member of the prestigious Les Castels group. We had visited this site with our own caravan around 12 years ago when it used to be a 4-star site and the swimming pool was open to the elements. They must at some point have gone through a bad patch as the site is now only 3-stars.

All I can say is that the site must now be on the up again. The pitches are all reasonably large and well looked after. In fact the whole campsite looks very well maintained. Some reviews have spoken of traffic noise. There is a bit but it is not intrusive. The toilet blocks, although not plush, are still very good and much better than you get on many campsites. The swimming pool now has a retractable cover making it usable in inclement weather. The site also has tennis, table-tennis, mini-golf facilities, children’s’ play grounds, a bar (with wi-fi), a takeaway, and a small shop.

The only thing I would complain about is the quality of the food at the takeaway and bar. Because we were only staying for 2 nights we decided to make use of these facilities. I decided, rather rashly as it happens, to have a cheeseburger. This turned out to be a pre-packaged thing that was microwaved in its bag. It tasted and looked awful. My wife had the chicken nuggets which were passable. On our second night we decided to try the bar menu (which passes a very close resemblance to the takeaway menu). I had the three toughest and fattiest lamb chops you could imagine, and my wife had spaghetti bolognaise which was slopped into a thin dish to make it look bigger than it was. This was not heated all the way through properly. The food here isn’t all that cheap. But it is very disappointing!

I should say that there is an independent restaurant situated at the back of the site, which we didn’t try but I have heard that the food here is very good indeed.

To recap, with the exception of the bar/takeaway food the site is very good indeed. The pitches are large and the campsite is well kept and clean. It is much better than most 3-star sites and I don’t think it will be long before Monsieur Le Camping is outside the site with his pot of paint adding that extra star to his signs.

 We have just been to the site and must say the site is well maintained, clean and friendly, as we were in a static caravan we didn't need to use the showers and toilets but from what I saw they were nice and clean. As we had the little one with us(9months) it was good to see they had two baby baths, one in the ladies and a bath top one in the mixed area.

We had croissants every morning and must say, apart from one day, there were really good quality.

Our only gripe, and one that would concern me a great deal if in a tent, is the road noise if you are pitched along that side of the camp. The site is on the main road used by the nearby quarry and the trucks started from about 4.30am!
