Reviews and Ratings of La Bien Assise

We have stayed on this site twice in the last two weeks and can only describe it as excellent....we will stay again

Eurocamp customers rated Lan Bien Assise campsite as 8.6 out of 10.

Trip Advisor rates the campsite as 4.5 out of 5 (based on 105 reviews).

UK Campsite visitors gave a similar 8 out of 10 (59 reviews), and Holiday Watchdog gave it 9 out of 10 (108 reviews).

It was a busy site, but with lots of trees/hedges so it didn't feel crammed in"

Some of the negative reviewers were clearly people having a bad holiday (i.e. complaining about the weather, which is little that the campsite can do about it), however there was a consistent theme that the take-away food is not great. La Bien Assise campsite has responded and said that this is a fast food service, and so some food may just be re-heated in a microwave.

My family and I (with my parents and two children aged 4 and 10) have stayed here three times before, as an overnight stop on the way back to thr UK.

On the whole though reviewers have given this site a glowing report, even though the site is very busy. It is generally used as a stop over site, either on the way into or out of France whilst waiting for the ferry at Calais.

Our Review

We stayed over at La Bien Assise with our caravan, the night before returning to the UK via the Eurotunnel.

Although we stayed for just one night, it was quite a pleasant, if a bit busy campsite, during the August school holidays. However, even though we were just staying one night, it's easily a place you could spend a few more nights and explore the area.

Our pitch was grass, with electric hook-up, and was level.

There's a bar area, which catches the evening sun, and a play park for the kids.

You can also buy lots of French wine before you head home :-)
