Camping de Châlons-en-Champagne ****

Stop over on way to Italy. Extremely friendly and helpful staff. Campsite a little ‘tired’ but tranquil and clean. Lots of cycle friendly routes (about 15 mins) into the town centre which is quiet, with lovely squares full of cafes and a beautiful park. Very few tourists - a pity it’s worth a visit and the locals we met were very welcoming. Very useful map available from reception.

We used this site as an overnight halt en route back to Calais. I am glad we did not stay for longer.
There is a choice of grass or hardstanding pitches and all are of a decent size.
There are two toilet blacks but travelling so late in the season the larger one was closed so we used the one in the main building. I first stayed here about 30 years ago and my goodness how things have changed. The site is much larger than I remember but the sanitary facilities have deteriorated. It looked like an attempt had been made to upgrade the shower areas by cladding the walls with laminated board but the old walls could be seen behind. I dread to think how many insects must live there. The floors of the toilet and washing areas were dreadful. They didn’t need a mop they needed a scraper.
The whole site just felt uncared for. Which is a great pity because with some effort and a little bit of money it could be so much better. Also, a number of seasonal workers appeared to be living in the bungalows. They did not disturb us in anyway but it did change the ambience of the site.
We will avoid in the future but if you can’t (as we couldn’t) then be prepared to use your on-board facilities.

A little tired! Pitch size good. Toilets, showers ok. Too far from town to walk. Spent a peaceful evening here but that was long enough.

Lovely municipal campsite, roomy pitches. Showers clean with plenty of hot water (push button!). Lovely welcoming, helpful English speaking staff. Staff obviously working hard to maintain the site. WiFi worked well (we don\'t mind paying if it works well!). Great as stop over to/from Calais. Stayed one night as on our way home. Added bonus of seeing goslings who reside on the lake at this site! We will return!

Stayed for one night in March which is a time when no site looks its best as there has been no landscaping growth. There has been criticism of toilet facilities - but looks like it has had all new cubicles fittings etc throughout. The building itself is a typical 60s build and remains unattractive! An excellent overnight stop, good pitches with hard standing, electric, water and drain. Surrounding houses are not an issue at all in my opinion and good dog walk around small lake. Would happily use again at this time of year!

Old sanitary facilities but clean and functional. Staff pleasant, pitches a decent size. We went cycling - roads a bit busy but there was a festival on when we were there (beg sept). There are cycle paths which took us round the town but not everywhere. No pool but only stayed overnight so didn\'t bother us. Bar open and reasonably price. Bakers, butchers and pharmacy very close. Good stopover site.

This municipal site in my opinion does not deserve it\'s four star rating. This has all the makings of a good site, but let down by lacklustre staff/management. We were once again reminded that we were back in the north of France in a wet month by the biting of the mosquitos. Not for us, we left after one night.

Facilities dated but are kept clean, busy site but nice, large pitches , staff friendly and helpful, would return

Good sized pitches some with hardstanding. Sanitary facilities are old and in need of updating but were functional. Quite close to town and Carrefour and a large shopping centre is closeby.

a very good site for stop over night and longer. bus stop just outside the site with regular buses to the interesting Chalons 10 mins away. very helpful staff. as previously reviewed the toilet block is old but was incredibly clean and has all the facilities you need. wifi is expensive but the tennis made up for the cost. yes the site is in a housing estate but its worth ignoring that for its convenient location and oasis of greenery provided.
