Campsites Dieppe & St.Valery-en-Caux area

Feel like visiting these Channel ports this year for obvious reasons.
Anyone been camping that way recently and can recommend a nice, quiet family-friendly site?
(I know Croonaert said there was a good one at St.Valery.)

I would go with the Bay of the Somme area, Owen. I will be Amiens all next week and will see if I can pick up some info for you. It's a great place for a family holiday, plus there is a nature reserve area where you can go bird spotting!

It's birding , Paul not bird-spotting.

Cheers, mate.
The boys would like this though.
Chemin de Fer de la Baie de Somme

Oops, sorry. Yes, they will like that and you can also check out all the 1940 cemeteries in the area, and also the WW1 Chinese Cemetery at Noyelles.

Not forgetting to call in to see Lorne Marr at CALAIS CANADIAN WAR CEMETERY, LEUBRINGHEN on the way down.

Yes, but don't leave your car un-attended there. Especially if it is full of holiday stuff. It's also a pig to find. But worth it - some interesting guys buried there. Also hard to find!

Cheers for that tip , Paul.
Didn't think of that.
I also want to call in on Crecy & try to do Agincourt too.
I'll try and get some more photos for WW2 Cemeteries in France for you.

"Are we going to France again Daddy? Will there be more graves Daddy? Will there be broken concrete and rusty bits of metal daddy?, will we be allowed to go to the park this time Daddy?"

"shut up and keep dusting my Regimental Histories!"

Really am going to have to drag my lot over there sometime soon.

Adam, now that was funny. Unlike the "You laugh, you lose" thread.
