Camping Bal

Alan Rogers Review

Camping Bal is a natural site laid out in 4.5-hectare grounds and adjacent to Hotel Bal. The site is within easy reach of the A26 (7 km). This is an excellent overnight stop and very convenient for Calais. There are 14 pitches with hardstanding for touring units, 12 in one area separated by grass. A few additional grass pitches are scattered around the site. Electricity is available. Visitors may dine in the attractive restaurant and bar at the adjacent hotel where free Wi-Fi is provided. The local village is within walking distance and offers a bakery, pharmacy and more.

There are lovely views across the wooded valley from the top of the site. The site and the adjacent hotel offer very good value for overnight stops in the area.

Facilities

In low season there are very limited facilities for the touring pitches (a single toilet, shower and washbasin). The main sanitary block is opened for July/Aug. Accessible facilities, Small play area. Tennis court. Boules. Games room (July/Aug). Hotel bar and restaurant (from 18.00 all year). Wi-Fi in the hotel (free).
