Well located short break

Stayed here last weekend Aug/early Sept for three nights, booked with Eurocamp in Comfort XL. I have little to complain about, it was our first eurocamp stay and I just wanted to check out how it was run before going to a bigger park.
Staff were really friendly and helpful, both reception and bar staff.... Always giving my kids lots of sweets in reception, bar staff lovely and very tolerant of my broken French! I’d had a couple of emails back and forth with the site prior, also really helpful and polite.
We were located 2 minute walk from reception and the van was perfectly clean. Of course it’s not perfect, a few paint chips here and there. Not something I focus on when on holiday! Pillows a bit flat, kids said their beds were comfortable. I found the mattress in double bed ok, not the best. Think UK hospital foam mattress. Didn’t have a BBQ on arrival, no problem at reception, gave me one there and then.
Really close to local beach and about 10-15mins walk from main square in town, there are a few restaurants around seafront too. They weren’t always open but we did go very end of season.
On site there was a market stall and rotisserie chicken on the Saturday evening, I think a singer in bar that night too. The on the Sunday there was singing and DJ, both nights finishing around 10.30. We didn’t go to entertainment as late back both nights but I enjoyed it from decking while kids in bed. It was all French, but when in Rome!
The play park was very close to our van and kids played in it twice. Small but ok. There are loads of games in reception although French and we weren’t around to use them. We got bread in bar everyday, you can also get takeaway pizza in evenings.
I chose this park for location, easy drive from Calais and I wanted to go to le Touquet for the day as well (I was there as a child), we did on the Sunday and it was beautiful. About 40min drive. Also wanted to go into Boulogne, went to Nausicaa and into the old town and walked around walls.
Is this park all singing all dancing? No, it is basic which the bargain price reflects and traditionally French. Is it well located, clean and with friendly staff? Definitely.
I guess if we were higher up the hill it wouldn’t have been so easy, but maybe just talk to the staff and I’m sure they’d help in they can.
Thanks for a lovely stay.
