 I can only confirm what most of the other visitors have said. This is indeed very conveniently located for an overnight stop, and easy to find on a main roundabout. On checking in a sign said complete or full. But pitches were available. I can't fault the excellent check-in, speedy, in English. We were shown to a shady good sized pitch. Close to Calais, comings and goings are frequent and this may affect you if you stay a few days. Facilities are comprehensive with a small busy covered pool and this is reflected in the price which is on the high side - in high season a pitch for two no electricity, was 29 euros. The toilet blocks were a bit worn, considering the price. It's part of a big chain with what looked like Eurocamp tents here and there. It has a corporate feel - in a good way.

Never having visited this side of France before we bit the bullet and used this site for 12 very enjoyable nights. We has a perfect pitch which I must say is the largest we have ever stayed on, the grounds are beautiful and worth a walk around. The shop is expensive but there are shops in the village which is walking distance away and also a large supermarket a very short drive away. There is plenty to see and visit in the area, to many to list to recommend. Here's a good tip, there is a bus stop just outside the site gates, it costs 1 euro to take the bus into the old centre of Calais and the same return much cheaper and easier than taking the car in and saves the frustration of finding a parking space.
One the whole this is a clean well kept site with excellent facilities, we would use this again and would recommend to anyone.

This was our first visit to France. We went with the Caravan Club on a 'taster weekend for first timers abroad'. The site is close to Calais so you get a lot of people coming and going. It is a huge site and has a lot of static vans as well as tourers.
We were greeted warmly and the reception staff spoke good English. We were escorted to our pitch. The pitches were large and fairly level. We were able to pick up UK satellite TV. There is free wifi down at the bar area. There is a bar on site that also sells bar snacks. Also there is a very nice restaurant on site. There is a covered swimming pool.
Guines is around a 10 minute walk however, there really isn't much there. We went to St Joseph's Village which is around 4 klms. It is a really tatty rundown tourist attraction. Not recommended.
We went into Boulogne for the day. It is a very nice town. There is an old walled section of the town which was very nice with lots of bars, cafes and restaurants.
I would definitely recommend this site and is a perfect stopover if travelling to or from Dover.

Stopped here for our first two nights in France, a very good option if you've got a whole day's driving in the UK before or after a crossing. We were given a very shaded pitch next to the tennis court, which whilst not the best was obviously one which could not be used by caravans. Wouldn't have wanted to be there for a whole week though - perhaps a longer stay gets tent campers a better pitch?!
We thought that the shop/bar was expensive, but found out later in the holiday that it was more or less par for French camp sites. The price of pitch is a little on the expensive side, but you pay for the convenience of being so near to Calais/Coquelles.

This is a very good site - well up to English Standards. Dont expect other sites in France to be this good. Pitches are a good size with easy access to water and drainage. Nice shady tree cover. English spoken.
Although we didn't use the pool (covered when the weather is bad) it looked very good if rather busy.
A must visit while here is the coast with its fish markets and wonderful seafood restaurants. It is well worth spending an extra day of you holiday here and not just using the site as a stop over.

We used this site as a stopover en route to and from the Loire Valley, primarily because of it's proximity to the ferry at Dunkerque and because we were able to book it at a discounted low season rate through the ACSI scheme. It is also near to Calais and the Eurotunnel so as you walk around it is evident that a huge proportion of the guests are British.
It was easy to find without a satnav and first impressions were good driving through the gates. The reception was clean and tidy and had plenty of information available (maps, leaflets, postcards, etc). The staff were very helpful and pleasant and although I always try my best to speak in French (albeit somewhat broken), they spoke very good English to help me along a little!
We were escorted to a pleasant shady pitch which we had requested as it was extremely hot. We then had to go back and ask to be moved as our electric hookup cable was not long enough and the staff obliged straight away. The pitches are arranged mainly in groups so not all are separated from each other and there is a good mixture of tents, caravans and mobile homes/chalets.
I recall there were 3 blocks for washing facilities - two large and one smaller one. The facilities were always clean, the toilets had seats though I can't remember if they had loo roll as we always took one with us, hot showers are free (no tokens or anything required) and readily available as there are plenty of them.
The on site bar and cafe is very nice and the staff there were pleasant too. There is seating inside and outside, the prices were reasonable and the quality of the food was good. There is free wifi in the area around the cafe which is situated near the covered swimming pool and slide. Also a small children's play area. The site was clean and well maintained.
It is about 30 minutes from the site to Boulogne Sur Mer which is a nice town and has a lovely long beach. There is a Carrefour a few minutes away from the campsite or there are plenty of the big hypermarkets not too far away by car around Calais, Dunkerque and Boulogne (E. Leclerc/Auchan/Carrefour).
I would definitely stay again as it served our purposes perfectly as an excellent stopover for one or two nights (Two adults, tent & car).

This is a first class site and one that we have stayed at before. It is popular for an overnight stay and is within easy reach of the Eurotunnel terminal. Best to call ahead to check availability, especially at peak season. It is open all year round, but has only a few pitches in the winter. There is also a very convenient wine and spirit outlet just a few minutes drive away for stocking up on the way home – just ask at reception for directions. Good English spoken at the site.
It is easy to find on the main road out of Guines with very easy access to both the site and the pitches. All pitches are large and moving around the site with a twin axel was easy. It is a very well maintained site with a reasonable amount of shade. It reminds us very much of a UK Caravan Club site.
The sanitary blocks are very clean and some are heated. There is a swimming pool, a bar and take away and an excellent restaurant. Not your normal campsite restaurant, but one with fine dining. Just perfect for your last night in France to celebrate a good holiday.
There are vets nearby in Guines to check your mutt before you enter the UK. Best to ask the site for details and book an appointment in advance, but they do allow walk-ins at certain times of the day.
We like this site a lot and it is a shame that we only use it for a short stopover on our way to and from France.

We stayed here last summer and had a brilliant time.
The site is big and our tent pitch was mixed in with other tents and static homes run by large camping holiday companies.
Despite the size, the showers and toilets were always clean and tidy with hot water continuously available. Although they got busy at peak times we never had a problem getting in there to shower. Similarly, the washing up huts were kept clean and were always available.
The pitch was grassy and separated by a tree and hedge - very pleasant and plenty big enough for our large 4 man tent + car and sitting area.
On-site there is a welcoming reception with very helpful staff and useful cycling / walking routes available. There is also an excellent shop selling fresh bread (delicious) in the morning and everything else from washing up liquid to chilled beers. Local supermarket is 10mins away providing you with everything else you'll need. There's also a cafe but we didn't use it (seemed popular) and we had a n evening in the restaurant (good but a bit over priced). There's also a pool but we didn't use this as it was always busy with children.
The local area is great and due to it's close proximity to the channel (everyone drives straight through the area en-route elsewhere I guess) it is not at all touristy - there are plenty of local villages and towns to explore each with local markets, cafes etc. La Touquet is certainly worth a visit - 'Paris by the Sea' is a lovely place.
We stayed here for four nights and had a great time and would definitely visit again, or use it as an over night stop before getting the ferry / tunnel home, as many people seemed to do.
Great facilities, great staff, great area. Such a success that I proposed on our final night and she said 'yes'!

We stayed here twice this trip, coming and going to/from the UK. We arrived late from the tunnel and reception was closed, so we found a pitch for the night and paid in the morning. They seem quite happy about that. On our return visit, we were asked to choose our own pitch which is unusual for here.
The showers in the 'warm' room seemed better this time, nice and hot.
I did see at reception that the site will be open all the year round, but only 5 pitches which must be booked in advance, and the only facilities available will be the toilet block (and possibly the campervan service area?)

Part of the Castells group. Easy to find - satnav takes you directly to it - entrance is on a roundabout.
Large and open entry to the site with plenty of space and parking around reception. They are used to 'one nighters', so check in was fast and efficient and a lady on a buggy took us to the pitch. Good sized pitches with plenty of water and hook up points.
The site felt very much like a Caravan Club site. All very well maintained, with lots of well pruned shrubs and trees. Nice tarmaced roads. Considering it was the end of the season, the pitches were in very good condition. I suspect this is because many one nighters do not put up an awning and the grass remains in good condition.
Toilet blocks were of a high standard and some areas heated, certainly needed at the end of the season.
We did not use the indoor or outdoor pool, but both looked good.
There is a bar/snack bar and a small shop. We ate at the on site gourmet restaurant, which was a very high standard and virtually full, so booking required.
Though perfect for one night for the ferry/tunnel, it is a nice enough site and area for a few extra nights. We stayed for 2. We had to see the vet to take the mutt back into the UK. We phoned the site a few days before and they gave us the phone number of a local vet so we could make an appointment in advance. They were very helpful.
The beach area around Sangatte is lovely, as is the long promenade at Calais.
Plenty of supermarkets nearby to top up on plonk. We went to Carrefor and also a local unit called Franglais. Reception again helped here. Great wine selection at good prices.
Site is 10 mins from the tunnel.
Highly recommended as one night stop or for a few days.
