Camping du Vivier Aux Carpes

Nice lake side site with hedged pitches, a bar and pool...open in a few days, and restaurant in summer, good facilities block. Plus an Aire de Pelerins (sur chemin de Campostella et de Roma), for walkers and bike-packers. Nice tiny town, but with a bar / café, small mini-marché, nice mairie and chirch, and neat. Canal de St Quentin canal path in both directions. Interesting and moving stroll to the British WWI cemetary just out of town. Great birdlife.

The welcome was incredible after a long day. The staff are very friendly. I got a camper for one. There was wifi and heat! Great bar on site as well. Overall, it was money well spent. It’s not a hotel, but a camp site for tents or camper vans. It is set in an idyllic place near the river and among trees. Very popular.

Excellent site We booked two nights and telephoned several days before to ask if could move the booking forward due to unforeseen events at our other site - lady I spoke to on phone ( owner ?) was lovely and very helpfully moved our booking. This attitude was followed up on our arrival when we met her and she was very friendly and helpful and encouraged us with our terrible french speaking! Merci! A lovely site, with excellent clean facilities in a nice area. We had a fishing pitch and enjoyed a day of fishing with the family , small war grave within walking distance for a visit, little village nearby. Very peaceful and rural. We loved our stay here and wish we had been able to stay longer. I will certainly use again as proximity to the A26 makes this a really good stop over- Merci beaucoup

Excellent campsite in the middle of a nature reserve. Had a huge pitch next to a fishing lake in which to observe wildlife. Extremely peaceful and with astounding views. Amenities were top rate - brand new bar and restaurant, indoor swimming pool and security facilities. Local convenience store less than 30 seconds from main entrance. Very helpful and friendly staff. Interesting to see that they can arrange for you to see a vet for your return to the UK with your dog (we’d already booked this at St Omer, but would consider this service on returning in the future). We were only here one night, but would definitely consider a longer stay. Seems very popular with British and carp fishermen

My only regret about this site is that we stayed for just one night. We booked last minute on the way back to the UK, found it in the Acsi book but the photographs in there do not do it justice. Situated in a quiet sleepy typically French village the site is tucked away behind secure gates. On arrival we were greeted by Alexandra, what a cheerful, happy, helpful lady she is, nothing seems too much trouble for her. We were allocated a good size pitch which was on the edge of the lake, our neighbour fished direct from his pitch. The garden areas were well tended. The amenities block is spacious, well kept and clean. There is a covered pool, despite being very inviting we didn't use it but looked amazing. The real gem has to be the recently added bar and restaurant. It was lovely sitting in the courtyard chatting and sipping a cool glass of lager. We didn't eat in the restaurant but the food looked delicious and I heard nothing but complimentary comments about the quality. There is a little supermarket around the corner which appears to stock most things and a bread van visits the site each morning. As we were only here for 1 night we didn't explore much but we did walk up to the British War Cemetery which is 15 mins away, well worth a visit but very emotional, it is immaculately kept which is lovely to see. Next time we are in France and come via Calais we will definitely return only for longer.
