Very Bad Experience

We stayed here for two nights in June 23 on our way back to Calais. The campsite is being run on a shoestring - the owner, his wife and one other person. The bins were overflowing, the toilets had no soap or hand dryers, the showerheads were a joke. The pool water looked cloudy and I saw no one in the pool the time we were there. The nearby river was milky and a bit stagnant with lots of flies. The nearby village was run down and had no charm. We had a meal in the campsite restaurant the first night. It is only opened from 7 - 8 so the staff are running around like headless chickens trying to serve the tables. Our plates were thrown at us and the waitress ran away to her next table. We had a problem with my wife's meal and when we tried to speak to the waitress we were initially ignored. When we eventually were able to speak to her she snatched the plate off the table without looking at it and marched away. I followed her and heard the plate being thrown in the kitchen. I told her we did not want a replacement but a few minutes later a replacement arrived. It was just as bad - lettuce that was discoloured, limp and had flies on it; the chicken was overcooked and burnt around the edges. We refused it and I asked for the bill. They wanted to charge for the refused meal and when I politely questioned that I was met by rudeness and aggression from the owner of the site who was also the "chef". He was working in the kitchen dressed in the same scruffy shorts and t-shirt he had been wearing all day - not even an apron. He told me the food was good and was the "French way" demanding I pay or leave the site. After politely stating our case his wife relented and removed the cost of the refused meal. We have never experienced this level of bad treatment anywhere in the world in the last 50 years.
