La Bien Assise Holiday Park

We have been 4 times over the years, soon to be 5. Going again in august for 14 nights. We always book through the Camping and caravan club because the pitch sizes are huge.Caravan,awning,pup tent, car and still plenty of room around. The pitches are all separated by bushes so whats yours is yours. The campsite is always clean,tidy and cannot be faulted, the wash blocks are spacious and always kept clean. The site isn't a one for you if you want night life but the relaxed atmosphere and nice surroundings on the patio in front of the bar cannot be beaten. The food in the restaurant is good and plenty of choice,the take away next to the shop is also good. The shop is basic but sells the essentials. The pool area is big enough that it never gets over crowded and is gated so little kids can't wonder off. Over all a nice place to enjoy a relaxing holiday.

This was not for us !!!!!!!!!!!!! we were very dissapointed food rubbish its all put in the microwave !! weather was rubbish !! drinks were dear ! no bars local !! no resturants all i can say is la crapo will not be returning !! not a 4 star more like a brown star !!

We have just got back from our first camping trip with our two toddlers, 30 months and 16 months, and we can only say we loved it! We are already planning a return journey!
The campsite is nice and close to the ferry/eurotunnel ports which meant that the journey was relatively short and in the comfort of our own car with no baggage allowance to think of.
We arrived at the site to be met by our rep who showed us to our tent and as we drove through the site I knew we were onto a winner.
My first impressions were that it was a nice size, small but friendly and that's ideal with children. Each pitch seemed a fair size and the tents were set well enough back from the edge of the road. There were plenty of trees to provide shady areas.
On the site there were several shower blocks to choose from including one that is heated. Some are unisex and some single sex. There was also plenty of provision for babies with plastic baby baths on hand in all the blocks and even a built in baby bath in one block in it's own cubicle. All toilets were english style.
There was a restaurant, bar, takeaway and shop on site plus lots of slides and climbing frames for the children. It was nice to sit out having our dinner knowing that they were safe and happy playing nearby. We found the shop a bit pricey and you had to order your baguettes and croissants the evening before, however in the town was an Aldi and on the outskirts there was a larger supermarket, Carrefour and a Lidl.
We used the swimming pool several times, it seemed very clean and there were plenty of sunlougers around. Due to the time of year the glass cover was over but I believe that in the summer months this is opened. There was also a toddler pool which was warmer and a separate flume into it's own pool.
Our tent came with everything we needed including blankets which were invaluable due to the cold nights being early in the season.
All the other campers seemed very friendly and even where language was a barrier there was always a smile and a good morning. The reps were also very helpful.
From this site were were able to go out for days exploring our highlight being a trip to Bruge (a beautiful Belgian town), Dunkirk, Lile, Boulogne (where there's and aquarium called Nasicaa good for the kids), and Le Touquet ( a very upmarket place with a beautiful beach and fab ice cream!)
However we had equally lovely days onsite and although we didn't get round to it this time the village of Guines looked lovely for a stroll around and we will definitely do that on our next trip.

just came back from a 3 night break at this holiday park, i booked this for its close proximaty to the port and with such high prices over the later parts of the year thought is must have everything, how wrong i was. initial impression was very small, mainly for the camper and caravaner on the edge of a roundabout, nothing like the brochure pictures. our accomodation was not ready for nearly 1 hour so we walked around the site and was back at the keycamp reception in less tha 10 minutes. later we went to the pool where all the people on site who were camping and caravanning were stripping off next to the pool area to get all i can describe as was a wash, we immediately got out and never went back in after that. best of all was in the early hours of sunday morning my eldest son woke up to get a drink only to find the curtain drop down near the mobile home door and the door itself proptly close, YES IT WAS SOMEBODY ATTEMPTING TO ROB US, an unsaid rule on a site is that you never steal from fellow campers but not in this case. looking out to the decking area our beach towels had gone, we searched for the theif but to no avail. reported the incident to the keycamp rep but as you can imagine, what is the point they cannot do anything about this. my family and i have been to sites all over europe and never had an incident of any kind. so if you do consider going BEWARE, put the outside light on and do not leave anything outside of any value. i would not go to the site again if it were free.
