Camping Au Bord de l'Aisne

A lovely stop over site. It has a nice, small indoor pool and friendly staff. A restaurant on site and bar. You can order bread from reception. Lovely river walk straight from the site. Quiet site, very relaxing. Small village and a petrol station nearby to fill up before heading off.

Il posto di per se sarebbe bellissimo, molto tranquillo e le piazzole ben tenute. Peccato che i servizi lasciano molto a desiderare. Dai lavandini esce solo acqua bollente (non c’è l’acqua fredda) mentre dalle docce esce solo poca acqua fredda! Non c’è cura nella pulizia dei servizi.. Non vale il prezzo pagato.

We stayed there at least twice for a night in previous years but this time we stayed for 3 to visit Reims & Laon. The lady in reception is very friendly and helpful. Although it is a quiet site with good size flat pitches, there are a lot of arrivals & departures due to its position. Toilet block was clean during our visit but the showers could do with some maintenance and cold water in the cubicles would be very useful ! It was great to have a swim after travelling.

Don’t be put off the the odd burning house picture. All a bit odd. Site is very welcoming and reasonably priced. Easy drive from ports, facilities very clean and modern ( although ladies loos missing a few seats). Swimming pool lovely, pleasant location by river and small shop and games room. Supermarket in village 5 min drive. Cafe has small food menu open until 2030. All pitches flat and spacious and as others said just drive around and select. Very friendly staff. Great for stopover heading east or south or on a return as 2.5 / 3 hours from Channel. If you are Champagne Touring from Reims look at catching train the village station for 16E return

Avis très mitigé. Les points positifs: - Accueil très sympathique, ce couple est toujours disponible et avec le sourire. - les passerelles sont très bien entretenues - on peut choisir son emplacement Les points négatifs: - sanitaire pas très propre et surtout pas chauffé (fin octobre il fait fort froid) avec de l'eau pas très chaude - la piscine et surtout le contour de celle-ci ne sont pas très propres (mais elle est chauffée)

Drama over, pre-UK arrival vetty visit all done at the lovely vet here in Guignicourt. (We’ve used her before so I knew it would be ok). The lady speaks about as much English as we do French but we got by. (Mainly by doing the Google translate thing and pasting it in Notes in advance). I sensibly bought a Droncit tablet from Amazon in advance for £3-4 and took it with us to use, the French vets always seem happy with that then I don’t get charged stupid money for their tablet. Because dogs have to have annual rabies vaccines in the EU and Jasper now has an EU pet passport, we even got her to do a rabies booster and sign, date and stamp his passport. His UK jab lasts till next year, I just don’t want some passport control jobsworth giving me grief. Then we just need to get another next year. Easy, and all for only €47. Health check with tablet given, docs signed and booster given. Can’t complain at all. The jab back home cost me about £130. The vets in Calais charge about €40-45 just to do the tablet and health check. If you’re ever travelling in France, I can’t recommend this lady enough. The campsite here is lovely, reception speaks English and the local vet is great. As is the bakery BTW. It’s much less stressful and expensive than leaving the necessary vet trip till Calais I reckon. (Jasper was a bit of a pain in the vet though, he totally wanted to get his teeth around a fluffy white rabbit there and a couple of cats ). Swalduz Isabelle was the vet’s name. Hope that helps.
