from 11 reviews Write review

Camping La Bien-Assise issituated close to the centre of Guînes, a village not far from Calais. The castle campsite is therefore popular with British tourists for whom this is the first (or last) stopover in France. The campsite is located in an attractive, rather flat, rural area. The grounds are dominated by large trees and look very attractive. The rural setting will give you an immediate French holiday feeling, while the coast of the English Channel is not far away.

Campsite and sanitary facilities

There are 46 mobile homes on the campsite which are fitted with all amenities. There are also four wooden, fully furnished rental holiday cottages. Other camping guests have access to good and modern sanitary facilities in the service building.

Swimming pool

Because camping La Bien-Assise is not directly situated on the sea, a lake or river, it has a covered swimming pool with large water slide. However, at a distance of only 16 km, you will find Escalles and Cap Blanc-Nez, where you can spend the day on the beach. Wimereux and Sangatte are located at similar distances.

Hotel/Restaurant

On the grounds you will also find the three-star hotel L’auberge du Colombier, located in a small 19th century castle, as well as the restaurant La Ferme Gourmande. The restaurant serves classic French dishes, also on the terrace when the weather allows it. From here you have a view of the castle's dovecote. There is a cosy bar near the reception (with a small library).

Shop

As is the case at most campsites, camping La Bien-Assise also has its own small shop. Are you looking for a larger assortment? In Guînes itself there is a variety of supermarkets and typical French shops.

€27 per night during lowseason
Campsite accepts ACSI Club ID

Lovely site, spacious and quiet with very large level full facility pitches with water, drainage electricity and a shed with a large fridge in it. Easy access to the tunnel. Didn’t use the toilet facilities we have our own, nor the sports facilities. Restaurant was good, shop was weak. A favourite site, we stayed 7 nights in August. could seem a bit ‘busy’ as overnighters come and go.

A really nice site for our last night before heading home. Would happily stay longer despite the price. Good restaurant and other facilities all looked to be a good standard.

Stayed here for three nights in May. Had been here before a couple of times. Because we were familiar with the area, decided we’d do something we hadn’t done before….used public transport which leaves from outside the campsite and is free. First trip was to Calais( had never been here before). Really enjoyed the bus trip taking us through little villages which we’d never have seen if we’d gone by car!
Second trip was to the shopping centre near the Euro tunnel terminal. Had been to this centre many years ago…quite different now! Again enjoyed the scenery on the journey. Seeing where Euroterminal is, has made us think about next trip abroad - might actually go via the tunnel.
Back to Bien Assise- very well laid out site, staff very helpful, clean toilet facilities. Didn’t use shop or restaurant because opening hours didn’t suit us.( early season) Guines is within walking distance and is worth a visit.

The snack bar produced us a very poor meal. The quiche was really badly burned and on comment the staff said’ I am not the chef’. Spoilt our last night in France.

What a gem this site is, it is only 8km from Calais, with non of the malaise surrounding that town, making it convenient for motorhomers wanting to use the ferry or chunnel. The friendly English speaking staff were very helpful, the grass pitches were spacious and reasonably level with water taps close by. The shower/toilet facilities were clean if a little bit dated. The swimming pool was spot on, a site to return to.
