We booked two nights at Chateau du Gandspette as our last two returning from Italy. Normally we would have only booked one night but as the first night was our wedding anniversary we wanted more time to relax. The directions are from the Calais road heading East and there is no advance warning sign for the site and we missed the entrance. After approximately 1 mile you come to the Dunkerque road with a roundabout so you can approach heading West, where there is an approach sign for the site. The reception is very friendly and the pitches very generous. Power points are well hidden in the hedges! There are two swimming pools, one heated and an exercise machine area. The toilets are basic but well cleaned and the restaurant on site is very good, although most things come with chips, but that's France for you.
The next day we decided to drive to St Omer for a shop and fuel but I would not recommend and there is a large Supermarket about 2 miles away across the Dunkerque road roundabout. In the afternoon we walked (800 yards) to the Blockhaus d'Éperlecques 2nd World War site. I had no idea this existed and how close the Germans were to launching 30 per day V2 rockets upon GB. Well worth a visit, so allow at least half a day. We will definitely use again.
