Wanted : Family Campsite Close To Beach (1 Viewer)

[mikeh71]

Hi
I am going with my 2 children to the in-laws 25/07 and wondered if anyone could recommend a lovely campsite close to a beach on the way down from Calais - will be travelling the Rouen, Evereux, Chartres, Orleans route a couple of days later.

I have trawled french sites but cannot find what I am after - bascially somehting to keep my 8 and 14 year olds busy!!!

Many thanks for any help

Thought I would bump this for you.

Can't help with sites though.

Are you looking for somewhere close to Calais?

I think there is one in Wimeraux ( sp?), but I haven't been there.

I am sure someone can help.

We usually stay at a site in Guines which isn't by the coast but it does have a little pool

List of sites here http://www.france-voyage.com/campsites/pas-de-calais-departement.htm

And http://www.eutouring.com/french_campsites_with_beach/nord_calais_campsites_beach.html

Inland a lot of French sites have a pool, or you could camp near a river or lake that has an artificial beach.

Hi
Many thanks for your replies - I am looking for nice sites traveling south from Calais ideally say around 2 hours or so away.

Thanks again though and cheers for the bump

I reckon you will struggle with those plans.
Domaine de Drancourt at Saint Vallery Sur Somme.
Its not on your route, not really south, not particularly nice, hasnt got a beach but should be good for the kids that time of year and not too far of a detour!

If I was you I would have a look at the canvas holiday/euro camp site,they seem to cater more for the kids with on site activities ect.

That is great thanks but do they allow motorhomes / camping?
I thought they only had their own accommodations

Have a look at the above. Again they tend not to be cheap but they are set up for families and they've got sites all over France

You can camp/motorhome at Domaine de Drancourt

why not just press on, use Aires for overnight stops, until you get south where weather warmer and nicer ...

Hi mike. I thought they were for statics and fixed tents but we used a couple on our way to st tropez and again on the way back.the advantage is that they do cater for the kids.

I seem to remember there is a campsite on the right when driving towards the promenade at Fort Mahon de Plage. Cant remember the name of the site but a wonderful beach for families
